Yes, I think my 50 falls into 3 despite its lack of serious welding but with my very silly paint :lol:

:shock: Were you hurt?:lol:

I prefer the patina because it belongs to an old car. My grandma was also looking like a grandma with grey hairs and non-smooth skin. If you prefer a NOS-Part-car its nothing else than the husband who married this woman as a pretty-girl - and tried to restore her during the years.

very clever I see what you did there :lol:

No matter how many times I see that womans face it is always shocking and makes me feel quite sick that someone could do that to themselves.

But then, there is this:

Quick! empty your piggybanks!

I guess they are both kind of the same! Both 'rare' ( fortunately!) :shock: :lol: ok so the car wins because at least it has Porsche wheels and shiny paint, which is more than can be said for Mrs frankenladymonster!

The circumstances are nearly always the same .You buy a project .In the course of the restoration you slowly throw away for aguements sake 45% of the body cos its rotton.You may replace the pans ,some of the interior and of course rebuild the engine.
The car you now have ,no matter what is left of the original is a direct result of you finding the car in the first place .You would not have that car if it wasnt for starting with something in the first place.A bit like the lithuania 38 car .Even if they end up reproducing everthing except the deck lid its a( eventual) car that would not exist otherwise. I dont think many people wake up and think i am going make a vw38 or any other car for that matter.The inspiration comes from finding a wreck to start with, even if its mostly not used.


Oh and X3 for Wilderstein:lol:
