How deep are those scratches on the Mytique? Would most of them buff out? Nice job you did on bringing the color back. Too bad about the scratches though.
Thanks it's a good practice car thats for sure... I was able to get some of the scratches out but some are so deap it's a lost cause

Hi `Justin,
You've been a busy man 4-Sure. You are lucky to have
the knowledge to do the work yourself.
Thanks for the update..
Hope the install of the auto is EZ 4 U & that it's
a good tranny.
Keep us updated.
Wish U & readers a `Happy
