The front stack is a series of bushings and bearings on the front of the engine. Per my mechanic, it is a few hundred dollars in parts - tops. The expense will be in taking the engine out to get at the front stack. The car is drivable, but that stack should be replaced before it causes a problem. Trust me, it irks me to no end that it has to be replaced 30,000 miles after replacing the engine.
In terms of the paint, it is in excellent condition (see photos above). The car has always been garaged and well cared for.
