Thats just the front lower valence. All those lines are cracks the old man ground out and refibre glassed. The ends of it were broken and basically non existent so he built some new ones with fibre glass. She was in pretty rough shape

Here she is. Home and look purty.
New issue though. Car has a slight hesitation/stumble when light on the throttle. Ie cruisuing through a parking lot. Otherwise idles fine and accelerates fine. So far ive change plugs. Going to clean maf and test injector voltage. Any other ideas i should look at? Egr maybe?

The paint looks good. As far as the hesitation, do you have any error codes?

There is no ses light. The only code the car throws every now and then is an egr code. But thats maybe once a year or not at all. And it never effected the running

Another note about the miss/hesitation. It must be a lean condition. Car is finr when started and driven from cold. No misses or anything. Any idea on a sensor to check?

Definetly an egr issue. I unplugged the top hose on the egr. Car had never ran better.

Is there any issue in running with that hose off until i can take it apart this winter and get a blocker plare setup.

Thanks in advance
