Hello all. Im deep into my resto of my classic sidewalk. But things have come to a grinding halt, due to the weather and only have a small rented garage to work in. Im very close to sorting out and moving into a larger workshop/lock up. so my project should take off again. To aid me to get motivated again Im looking for your inspirational pictures of your classics. I'll get the ball rolling

aaaaah
Mine looks a bit like that - I'm trying to muster the courage to attack it with the grinder.... as sending it to someone to restore the body feels like defeatism (and expensive)!

There is always something to do on a mini tongue out
If it ain't broke, fix it until it is smile

Unfortunately my mini wont serve as much inspiration unless the look your going for is beaten up old rally-a-like.

Keep going. When you get to drive it, it will all be worth it.
