OK, I've been very lazy and been putting this off for ages. I've finally got the car apart and am ready to pull the old damper unit. A couple quick questions...

How did you track down the evap leak? Mine throws the CEL from time to time at high RPM and it a minor evap leak. I'm just not sure where to begin running it down...

Hang on - did I miss something? Is there a thread going on for this swap someplace?
-
Stunning work, as usual. Make sure and get some video or it once it's running

Does anybody have recommendations as to where I could source some touch up paint for my car? I have a couple blemishes that I'd like to take care of while the car is getting its spring detailing.
