Wow! That door really doesn't match. Should be an easy match up for a quality paint shop.
I round a luggage rack for 50 bucks yesterday with the trunk lid. Just pointing it out.
 
I'm surprised that a car this nice would not have the fender tag.

That saddle tan interior looks great with the f4 green and white top! Good combo!

That’s quite a mismatch. Shame on the bodyshop for not getting the colour right. However, shame on the owner who picked up the car after the door was painted. He/she should never have accepted the keys for it until it was corrected.

So true, its amazing how fast a body shop will turn around and fix something like that.
My wifes car needed repaired from a insurance job, (not her fault) local Chrysler dealer did the repair, blended the paint fine, but there was a spot about 2 sqin on the 1/4 panel that was missed when masked, or the tape blew loose, heavy overspray build up.
Anyways the shop said bring it back on Monday, and we will fix it, I said no the job is not done, call me when it is correct.
They are closed over the weekend, and this was on Friday around closing time.

The rental car company called me later that evening asking why the rental car was not returned, I said call the dealership and ask them why my car is not done.
I got a call early Saturday morning to pick her car up, it was done, and the rental car returned, (the dealership had to pay out of their pocket for extra day car rental).
 
Let's see...car for a steal, no fender tag...probably stolen

:poke:
LOL, unfotunatly they took it off to write down the codes in a book they gave me, but never put it back and now its lost.
I wasn't going to pass the car up because there was no data plate. I mean I know the Engine Matches. I know the car was orig green.
it has 85% orig paint. I have a butt load of dealer Receipts to Document the miles. It's a shame but maybe a repop Tag one Day?
 
So after 3 clogged fuel filters i dropped the Tank look at all the crap i found in it yes the hose was in there and duct tape too.
I bought a New Sender, Grommet and Cleaned the Tank out of Stinky Gas.
And changed out the hoses front and back and blew out the line.
My garage smells awful the last few days.
waiting on the grommet still.

Dry Rotted inside of hoses
 
Since my car has been Laid up my trans all the sudden started to leak!
I guess i need a new pan Gasket now too!
After my first test ride when i first got it Running the heater core started to leak so i by passed for now. As i could not drop the box that easily so aborted till another day.
I guess all that has happened is expected for a car that was well maintaned but sat the last few years.

Somebody was siphoning gas out of the tank and lost their hose... It must have fallen too far into the filler tube for them to get it back out and left it in there... It eventually ended up in the tank...
