    There has been an extensive discussion about my car before it got to me. Just wanted to do a quick update about the car. I had no idea of the previous history only the some bits from a friend that sold it(traded it) to me back in 2017. Didn't know that it was a rental at one time and it was basically treated like a red headed step child and not like thoroughbred that it is. Prior to my ownership my friend took care of most of the interior problems. I drove the car for couple of years with zero issues. But finally got around to addressing the motor and the suspension. Just completed a major with cam seals haven't driven it to report on how it feels hopefully will be able to pick it tomorrow for few days before it goes back for suspension work. Since the car had paint work before I will definitely have the car repainted in the future. Here are few pics of before and after keep in mind its not finished so it's dirty. Also had the modulars tested and fixed since two of them had slight bends. Slowly this car is getting what it deserves!

    Glad to see this 550 was rescued by an appreciative new owner willing to put it right. Your investment will be rewarded. Enjoy your 550 the way it was meant to be enjoyed!
