    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

    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

Is it worth to restore a box-type Lancer?
