Driven on nice days except for a handful of rainy drives. Enjoyed, but now time to move on to something more refined, like an Evora. Photos show the center console was painted with a rattle can with predictable results. I didn't care enough to fix the inevitable cracks/scratches. Same for the engine covers. Self-painted front calipers. One photo shows a small crack on the front clam after hitting a possum (he didn't make it). The crack is small (~1") and I didn't think it was bad enough to require a fix. The photo shows the crack (with AR paint to minimize appearance) and the bottom of the grill is held on by Gorilla Glue.

Asking $33k (or reasonable offer)

Free Bump for you sir! I would be on this in a heartbeat if I didn't have one already. Great price for whoever is the new owner. GLWS.

As far as repairing the crack in the clam, I did some research a while back about this. I figured it would cost ~$500 including a touch-up respray. They'd have to take off the appropriate lower StarShield section covering the lower front of the car. This was another reason that I just let it be. Adding an appropriate replacement starshield would obviously cost more.
