Alright so here's the deal I haven't told you guys.. As a few of you may know I have a 2001 galant I-4 es ...my dad got it brand new in 2000 and now its mine. He got into a few accidents but relatively fine now...but as an idea of how bad my friends call it a piece of shit and say its been through Hell and back.....but not for the reason you may think. Last year when I got my license my dad gave me the car cause he bought a new one and there were dents in the hood a huge scratch down the passenger side of the car (the length of the car Long) and some frame issues and rear bumper.
So when I got it I asked my dad to let me replace it. He let me so we went to the junkyard got the doors bumper hood and etc. And with the help the help of a family friend we managed to pull most of the frame back out. Unfortunately all of the pieces were different colors so my originally green car is now green with a white hood silver passenger door gold bumper.and white rear passenger door. It's pretty bad.
So my dad said I could get it painted by the school year now its April and still no paint. It's kind of sad how ugly it is. But then my motor seized and I haven't had it for a while and now I'm getting an engine swap for around 1000$ (I found this surprising?) And my dad said I can get it painted finally I wanted to paint it black but my dad says oh well then you have to get the painter.to show proof of the color and take it to the dmv and re-register it which isn't cheap.
Idk how true this is and does anyone know? I live in Wappingers falls new York. And also does anyone know a good but cheapish place where they paint cars? In new York but not maaco I just needed a temporary paint job for now. Thanks :)
