Picked this up running for $3500, needs paint and a stronger powerplant!

As you can see it has stuttgart paint issues

What paint issue are you speaking of? I can only spot the chip on the fender.

Should go all the way with a 3.8L or Jake's turbo build...

Its a tiptronic so turbo may not be the way to go as I'm a manual driver but couldn't resist the price! 3.4 Seems like the best bank for buck mod

The paint issues are on the a pillar all around the windshield and the clam shell. Took it to a local bodyshop and they said its faulty primer. Probably the stuttgart watered down paint....
