New too me 01 smr cl-s

Ok so i got a really good deal on an 01 cl-s. It has 180k had maybe 30 small hail damage dings and someone backed into the drivers side door. So i drove it about 100 miles, oils clean, compression is good, the main relay went out yesterday after some buffing. I went ahead and had the car completly repainted. Plans very soon atleast lower it and hopefully wheels. I can't decide between the a-spec wheels or some type of satin black mesh wheels. Yes it is an autotragic.

Yea so far, but that's before wheels and suspension . I'm trading out a detail for new window tint all around. Hope to have some up maybe sunday evening. I got it back today. I have to swirl remove it and polish. Then detail it from all the buffing compound.

If I were you, Id finish cleaning it up and flip it for at least twice what you have into it. Then find a 6MT CL if you really want one.
