I am hoping this thread will be a success and not a huge failure, but you gotta try.
Right then, to the point.
Lets see the scrap yard finds, the ones that have been left to rot and the success you have had with them.
Simple rules a picture of the car when you started and a picture of when you finished.
Show us all your hard work and be proud !!

There's some inspiring cars. It's great to see how some of you have taken cars worth saving plowed loads of hard work in and got them looking great.
