Once upon a time, old vehicles were basically maintained, restored, scrapped, rebuilt or turned into a custom/rod.
Nowadays we appear to have some ‘new’ additions (according to the current wave of TV progs) to choose from for that old vehicle you’re about to ‘deal with’.
So, depending on what you’d like the outcome to be, we have, to start with at least:
Rustoration
Rejuvenation
Resurrection
Distresstoration
But don’t forget the old adage – It’s only original once.................
Feel free to add to the selection
