gfdan Posted March 30, 2023 Share Posted March 30, 2023 (edited) I made some time this winter to work on the ol '78 and put her back on the road. I put her out to pasture 4 years ago with the best of intentions but y'all know how the last 4 years have gone. In the face of rapid deterioration and a narrow miss by a giant pecan tree that uprooted in a wind storm, I made the tough decision to do the best I could for her. I grabbed the grinder and the welder, some paint and the sander and figured since I might not ever get to fully restore it, I may as well do the next best thing... and drive it! Got the antique car registration and the vintage 1978 licence plate. She's back to turning heads everywhere we go! I'm not even going to contemplate the "right or wrong" of it.

As long as you aren't a danger to others on the road then enjoy your car and do as you wish with it. It's nothing for anyone else to judge. I stopped fussing about how perfect my classics should be and enjoy them more than ever. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KiwiGL Posted May 14, 2023 Share Posted May 14, 2023 Better to use and enjoy a car than let it sit and rust to waste. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
