Re: Car mods; restoration; rehab; audio thread
guids,
how did you handle the body/rust restoration? Did you send it to a shop? Or did you do it yourself? I think that's the major issue with restoring a car yourself. You need welders and other equipment to do the job right. It's probably worth it in most cases to send it out for repair. I think interior and engine rebuilds can be done at home easier than bodywork.
I had a '56 VW bug (oval window), it had a nice body, needed a bit of work, and I didn't have the resources to work on the body. I ended up selling it. Wish I hadn't now, but I didn't have much of a choice. I was pretty lazy at the time, but I did get some engine work done.
I will buy another old bug, and I plan on building a hot motor for it. If anyone's restored a car and has pictures, it would be cool to see.
