Been restoring my very first car:

How was it finding the missing trim and pieces? Usually with old cars, mechanical parts can be easily sourced and the hard part is really finding good condition/new interior and exterior trims and pieces (aesthetics).

Luckily, kumpleto pa naman ang mga trims and accesories niya. Ang problem ko basag yung left tail light so I'm on a hunt. At saka ilang emblems but parang ayaw ko ng lagyan ng mga emblems eh kasi ang ganda ng kulay. Maybe a mitsu emblem na lang sa likod.

I will restore a 1949 Buick Roadmaster convertible with a beige exterior, red leather seats and the heart is a straight 8 with fireball 8 cylinder equipped with a 2 speed dynaflow automatic transmission what a sweet ride or para cheaper a 1976 MB w123 with whitewall tires and black exterior color.

Plenty of air-cooled-loving Tsikoteers.

I'd like to own a VW Type 181.

ofcourse it is the closest thing to a porsche hehe

this must be VW district... lookit the two golfs in the background.. san bang bansa ito?
btw, i must dis-agree.. the closest thing to a porsche is still the classic air-cooled beetle, wherein ferdy raided the VW parts bin for items he can use for his first porsche car..

reminds me my departed uncle who used to have a scout. i googled it and found out it was the scout II.
we used to ride along with him during week ends delivering sacks of rice around our town, what a joy ride. i'm just a kid then.

Mitsubishi Celeste.

Aaahhh, the ones marketed with "silent shafts." Nice!

Good point...makes you think if it would be sacrilegious to make use of 3D printing technology for these hard-to-find parts.

My list:

1) 1950 Mercury 8 Coupe



2) 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS



3) 1974 Cadillac Coupe DeVille



4) 1980 Mercedes Benz 500SLC
