Restorations

[Noodles]

I was talking about this the other day, what do you think will be the last generation of cars to be restored? In 20 years I cant see me restorong a mk6 fiesta

i reckon there will always be restorations but only on cars like focus ST, them sporty clios etc.

they might if its a ghia, if the sports models become popular then the boggo models follow, look at the mk2 ghia's and mk1 1300 e's

I suppose if anyone's interested enough then they'll restore anything. I mean, I'm registered on the Ford Scorpio Forum and who would've though they would be worth restoring or even it's own forum

[Durham Fiesta]

about 40 year ago people will have been thinking the same about mk1 escorts

The problem is, many modern cars will not get to the restoration stage. If microchips and emissions cost hundreds to repair, and the price of scrap stays high they will be weighed in! Cars being scrapped are getting newer and newer, plenty of people I know have scrapped middle aged cars that are MOT'd The irony of it is middle aged cars look better due to the high proportion of plastic on them, but the legislation like emissions and technology like microchips stack the finances against them.

 

Remember when the dodgy fuel did for some sensors in modern cars recently? If that happened to a 9 year old car, a £300 bill might be the end of it.

If pigs like to roll in sh**, im sure they wont mind....

[over_head_cam]

I think cars worth restoring in the old sense of the word are not made any more. Nothing seems to have the sense of being created by blokes in brown coats

 

There are, and will be exceptons of course, but that's what a love of cars, and especially OSFs is all about.

 

Don't tell anyone, but I had an MG metro and I quite liked it Wouldn't fancy crashing it into anything stronger than a fag paper though

[BIGKEV]

I will restore a daewoo lanos in 20 years

 

 

you watch me lol

 

 

 

 

just so I can launch the bastard into the air and go clay pigeon shooting with lasers.

 

 

 

oh yeah

 

 

the future

 

 

I cant wait
