restore or replace?

for me, i am a restorer

that's the fun in it imo. to take something battered and used and make it shine again!

to relace the wheels, clean the spokes and hubs.

to regrease.

to get nitromors on your hands.

to fume out the neighbours with rattle can mist.

i see all these super expensive "NOS" parts on the bay - where's the fun? clean the old stuff and repaint it!!

get your hands dirty. reuse your stuff. drive the crazy NOS prices back down.

it's up to you

jimwise68:
Restore where possible, or if all else fails or you fook it up then replace!  :LolLolLolLol:

MartyC:
I think you need two categories:

Restoration:  The replacement or repair of worn/damaged parts to bring the item back up to working/show condition

Conservation: The minimal amount of work required, saving all useable parts and only cleaning/performing minimal maintenance


***Edited to add "repair" to the restoration as I missed it off!

theRuler:
restoration isn't replacement

and stripping / cleaning is usually more work than clicking on the bay :)

skubs:
Restoration first, if all else fails, purchase it
