    The work al put into this car is nothing short of incredible. Had the opportunity to sit inside of it. Nice nice car.
    Refreshing to see one that’s still in such great condition. Like you said Al, most of these are on owner number 5, with a title
    Loan against it.
    Wouldn’t think twice having to take it anywhere. You scored on this one.

    This is indeed a big moment Al. An absolute credit to both you and your perseverance and also the task of breathing life into perfectly good cars that are simply thrown away because noone cares or gives any effort. Top work sir!I also totally agree with that cars are grateful that they have been rescued and remain faithful friends. Non-car people simply don't understand or get it. We do though. My V70 was unloved, unwanted and sat folorn at the car lot but she spoke to me somehow and I took her home, upgraded the interior to top spec from many scrapyards and she shines - and she's given me unwavering service for the last 5 years - I love her.

    it comes down to time and know how and accepting a bit of risk. I'd love to see my son tackle a car like this - I think he'd really learn a lot and would have something he could be proud of.

    You’ve done well, Al, you’ve done very well. 700 dollars all-in to get at least 2 years of trouble-free driving? There are a LOT of people driving around cars who pay that much per month for car payments.

    With something like this, it would be cool to try and contact the original owner and tell them, their car is back on the road, after the flood with very little work.

    @jimmyjimjims7483 6 месяцев назад

    I used to think cars were inanimate objects too until I rescued/fixed enough of them to realize they carry some kind of "energy" with them. It's almost like they absorb a little bit of the person that commands them as strange as it is to say, I feel that much stronger with the older cars than the newer ones though.
