[Sweetlucious]

i used to box type.
nice car.
but tinatamad na akong mag-hanting for piezas...
but if they can guarantee ease of parts sourcing, i'd probably get one again.

sayang lang pera nyo sa pag restore, I dedicated most of my free time in 2015 to 2016 to make my Honda CRV and Ford Explorer Eddie Bauer look as shiny and stock orig , wala binarat pa din. sinuwerte lang yun bumile kasi parang inayos ko para sa kanya

somewhere along the way, magkakarun kayo ng swerti sa buhay and you will suddenly afford a brand new car, you can't let it pass by.

brand new has this certain effect in us na Hindi mapapantayan na kahit anung lumang car, classic pa yan or what

kaya ba niyan pantayan ang feel ng restored car of your youth?

getting a brand new car... that's easy. anyone can do it.

true sayang ang pera sa lancer restoration... less than 80hp?

kung restored car of youth eh mustang or gallardo, pede siguro, pero kung restored car of youth eh mag boxy cars of yesteryears, unless it's a Land Rover or a Pajero / land Cruiser that holds value, sayang lang effort, time and money.

it's the same as trophies. so many people today display trophies or reserve trophy rooms in their houses, imagining on Xmas or bday get together, guests will listen to your story on how you achieved that trophy.

Malabo na, ngaun 5 seconds na lang ang attention span ng tao sa mga youtube or facebook videos, pag di na-interes, swipe right kagad hihi . tapos I-bore to death mo pa guest mo to listen to your youth stories. parang wow, sana kumain na lang ako sa labas hihi

when i restore things, it's for my pleasure.
i couldn't care too much, what the others are feeling.

then prepare to become more broken-hearted, doc. yan kasi random feeling of nostalgia, It has been said that you are somehow lost. so you are trying to recoup what's was left of your past na nagkarun ka ng good times

so if will restore something and show it off, and people acknowledge it, then emotional crisis solved. you can continue with life. pero ganyan pa ang katwiran mo sa sarili, imagine you're gonna spend time and effort for it, just to hide it for yourself. Ewan ko, that's depression in the making.

I find the character of my old lancer more interesting than the newer cars i have.

If money is not a problem, restore. I miss my old car. Sana talaga irestore sya ng humingi sa kanya

i'm not broken-hearted.

methinks you are speaking from your personal experience, and transfering it to me..

The problem with restoring is that you alone will apreciate it.

When it is your time to pass by, your relatives will see the car as "karag" at "luma" and will sell it as junk.

even real estate.

"i-benta na yan!"
OT.

This box-type may have better parts availability than that Lancer. A Bentley Manual will make things much easier.

alam ko naman kung san nanggaling eto sudden interest in restoring 80s cars, coz of this guy's vlogs.





ive had the Civic esi as my hand me down college car noon pero wala eh Ewan ko ba wala sentimentality value sa kin, even if that car had good memories.

I don't even bother to watch his youtube vids, coz I wanna move forward. This millennial thing is very serious, pag Hinde kayo kumilos, they will phase you out and just cry in that sad corner of newly built house and collection of old cars with no value.

time is the only way to beat the millennials in their own game. kaya is Juts, our moderator , newly wed millennial yan, monitor ko ng husto kilos nyan, kitamo mga gusto Alexa, google home, smart tv, connected home etc

payo ko sa Inyo wag na, those things are the past. pero kung Land Cruiser pa restore nyo. pwede pa.

back in 2009- 2011, I was an avid follower of Counting Cars and Pawnstar's episodes.





watched a lot of them. pero what did Ford do, they released the refreshed 2013 Production Mustang. wala sayang lang lahat ng mag pinanood ko, if Ford can resurrected their old cars, and fit it modern car tech at lower prices than restored cars. what's the point diba? Im also a businessman. I won't venture into something that will waste my time tapas wala din.

[dr. d]

not all rare or famously desire-able old cars sell well.
they got to have some sort of provenance.
now, if one of them mustangs was once owned by steve mang queen and still clearly shows his sweat on the upholstery...

[Wave24/7]

It might be cool to drive one, but they’re not safe compared to today’s cars. Not to mention hidden rusty parts. So no, it ain’t worth it.
