I'm guessing I'm not the only one who's been suckered in by this gimmick circulating the murkier eddies of social media? I guess it started as a way for previously fat people to show how they've lost enough weight to now fit into a single trouser leg and stuff, but lately it's been full of people showing how their XR3i was once parked for a decade in a council estate turning circle with moss growing on it, or how they dragged a now-immaculate Samba out of a Swedish swamp and had to evict the turtles and wrap it in clingfilm to stop it dissolving before they began their resto. And I thought it might be fun to see how we've all done on here? It surprised me looking back on how far some of my stuff came... and went! And my "projects" are all pretty humble compared to the people on here who've re-created cars and trucks from a dustpan full of rust and some hope. Still makes me laugh to see the RX-7 that I was "just going to leave stock" though Or just how hugely metrosexual my Beetle was when I got it; from John Inman to John Wayne in just over a year Ruby B&A by Nick Liassides, on Flickr Safka B&A by Nick Liassides, on Flickr Dolly B&A by Nick Liassides, on Flickr dolly engine B&A by Nick Liassides, on Flickr What ya got?

Before-ish just after I'd lowered it a bit and put some wheels on I found on eBay for the insurance but looking generally legit. After. A thing. It's infinitely more ropey than it looks in photos, which is saying something.

My recent project. Interior before: Interior after (the same seats, cleaned up quite well) I finally got around to re-taking the "after" photo of the outside, now I've done a few more things.

Not in the same league as some on here ! But hey we got it running. Loving the way some of the after photos on here the car looks 'worse' from a vanilla classic point of view as people do their own thing. James

My recent project. Interior before: Interior after (the same seats, cleaned up quite well) I must get around to re-doing the "after" photos, as it's missing a few details in these. Thats just downright astounding Good thread this. Is nice to see what people start with, and their visions, ranging from a tidy up to a full restoration and/or modification.
