Thanks! Unfortunately it looks like the car was at least cleared at some point. I'm not sure if the base coat is original or not. Perfect for me, though, because I don't feel bad about driving it
All panels are original aside from the drivers fender and hood, which are BMW DOT-R panels so I don't too much care. It's always a mystery what you find on a 30yr old car with 227k miles on the broken ODO (likely closer to 300K).
In other news, my new DA died after polishing two hoods and a roof. After further research I found out that this company was made as a sister company to Chemical Guys, so the "Torq" name has no backing or experience whatsoever in the tool industry. It's just chinese junk marketed very, very well, and since their videos were so helpful I didn't feel bad supporting their products.... if only they backed it up with quality.
I think I'm going to need to upgrade to a Rupes unit, as nothing really seems to last. Crazy expensive, but will be a one time purchase.
