Doing some resto work

Even though my '93 is in good shape for having 89k, it could use some polishing.

Before:

After:

I also restored the A-pillar/roof rail moldings.


And since I've never used a polisher before (too scared to burn paint), I borrowed my wife's '91 GT to practice (love ya, hun :D ). Can you tell the difference?

And the car was looking pretty good already.

I can't wait to go through the whole car. :D

Your pics arent working, you linked to a site called wcfords.com which is either down or it is an incorrect name?

Trying out some Meguiars Pro stuff and needless to say I'm impressed.

And that's only with cleaner. No polish or wax yet.
