Typically yes they do. It’s got some engine issues that I need to fix. Check engine light came on after the exhaust rust off right at the flex pipe.

There isn’t really any. Some starting on the lower inner doors but nothing I can’t treat.

The paint peeling in certain areas is part of the reason for the paint job the other is I don’t really like the color white on vehicles.
