I've come to believe that the total restorations are for the folks that have the where with all to preserve them in this state. Since a motor vehicle starts to deteriorate as soon as it is driven out the door of the garage, it just depends on how much planed use it will get and how much maintenance it will take to keep it in top shape. My own personal situation is good enough to keep a motor vehicle in decent mechanical condition and try to preserve the car as best as possible as a daily driver. If I keep things up well enough, the next owner will have an easy time restoring the machine to "like new" condition if he has a mind to. I like the fun of the hunt for old parts but I also like the fun of driving the old stuff without fear of possible damage.

It's just the practical approach for my own life style. To each there own.
