Kenyon Wills ======================= Gang, At what point is it restoration? At what point is it still maintenance? Is there a magic number (ie my Imperial is 50 years old, do I restore it rather than maintain it? My daily driver is 12 years old and is falling apart...repair or restore)? It's quite obvious with a junk yard car, but what about the '93 that is still being driven about? Reading what Kenyon says above, failing parts need to be restored. But (using my 12 year old, off-brand daily driver as an example), I'm putting a new master cylinder on it. Is that restoration or repair? Opinions, please!
