Restoration or Rustoration?
Posted: Tue Dec 03, 2019 3:10 pm
Maybe the end of the world is very nearly here and Electric cars are on route but the amount of people I have spoke to recently through groups and meets who have expressed they have had it with Restoring cars seems to be on the Increase!
A mate of mine has spent a couple of years welding up his car and how he wants to get a better one from the states because he says he is through with Restoration
There seems to be a trend now of what is refered to as Rustoration ie make something safe,reliable and generally structure rust free and paint those areas with whatever have you (we are not calling for concours here)
Then clean up what you have and to claim a Cold War Motors saying finish with some sketchy rattle can dust ins and just enjoy!
Speaking to others the change of heart seems to be people are waking up to the fact they are wishing their lives away chasing perfection while realising that they may never get to actually drive the car?
Who are we doing them for?
Us or for somebody else when we are no longer here?
In some senses I feel I went a little further with Shitey than I first planned but its done now but should I do another its a sketchy yet solid Rustoration for me.
It seems our time is short with electric cars and legislation on the horizon that we have no say in the matter of plus the shite they are putting in our fuel to stop us having fun
So better to of loved and lost than never loved at all so they say
we have been doing it for years it seems the rest are now catching up with our way of thinking
