I think i am going to have to do an entire engine job. The number 2 rod journal is tore up, and might as well do valve job and pistons and rods as needed, etc while in there. I think the detergent oil and MMO and seafoam broke a lot of old crud loose and ran it through the oiling system.

My car was painted when it came to me...a kind of OK job, 50/50 car, 50 feet at 50 mph. It was done in acrylic lacquer metallic, a little too green, more than factory, but ok on the car. No idea on the cost. Painting costs always depends on what shape the body is in, and how much you're willing to do yourself. If you mask and sand and block it and repair, paint and labor to spray is relatively cheap. And if you wetsand yourself and then clear and wet sand, it can look amazing.

For a really good to great paint job, but not OMG show quality, and me doing no work, depending where you are in the country, i'd assume maybe 5k?
