And congrats on soldiering on past 250k! Don't see many high mileage examples, proof these engines are not as bad as some like to infer.
Thank you! The paint did come up pretty good after polishing, but it was definitely a bit of a disaster when I got it. I'd say overall paint quality is about 7/10 at this point, which is great all things considered. The hood does have some 'sandblasting' on the forward leading edge that I wasn't able to fully polish out, but I'm overall really happy with it's current condition.

Also, what type of stereo or GPS or tablet adapter do you have in your rig? The photo of your dashboard is very intriguing.

As I mentioned in a previous comment (my posts are on an approval delay because I'm new, I think), it's a JOYING head unit that runs Android. I'm actually way more happy with it now than I originally thought I would be. It fits the space really well and has a very sharp display. I attached a picture that shows a better view of the dash.

I have mine set where "Mode" actually turns on navigation.

Ah, very interesting... I would LOVE to have my steering wheel buttons work. It's probably too much of a job for me personally to mess with the wiring like that, but now that I know it's possible I may have a shop do this for me soon. Great info.
