.........I think that's a very prejudicial
and broad based opinion you have there, Simon. The
people you refer to as wanting to "break everything up"
are not really "Americans". That is a philosophy that
some people base their actions on. I've seen rust free
cars chopped into bits because the owner wouldn't
restore it and was too tight fisted to sell it to
someone else so they could do it. I've also seen
people take what I would call a basket case, and weld
more panels in it and spread more bondo, than any car
deserves. This was observed all in the same city, here
in the southwestern United States. I'm sure if you look
a little closer to home, you'll find a few of both
types there as well. Carefull where you throw your
stones there, big fella. We are all here to help each
other. It's just free will. If the man wants to or
NEEDS to part out his car, that is his choice and I'm sure he doesn't appreciate being flamed over it. I
lived in Eastern Canada for 27 years and I've seen and
fixed far worse cars than this, but it ain't no fun.
Sometimes you just have to accept the fact that some
cars can be restored, but not without the help of
those old rust-buckets to provide us the parts to do
so.
