You procured it at an auction, correct? Looks much better. You're gonna restore those faded headlights right? haha, those small things bother me some.

Not bad from before. Headlights just need work and maybe get the newer oem wheels that came on 97+

Looks really good Maserati, what'd the total bill for everything come out too? $3500 right? It was a good deal man I remember trying to stray you away from it, but happy it turned out good in the end.

For the car and the body work yeah! I really wanted an SC even though i took a risk, it really paid off.
