Are 1-man car restoration projects just a meme?
yes
Most seem to be veterans of multiple prior restorations so they've already developed a lot of skills and acquired most of the tools needed. It's not impossible to start and finish such a project for your first time but the odds of your becoming discouraged by the learning curve are greatly increased.
As someone doing just that, I hope to all fuck that they're not.
I'll be damned if I don't get to race that shit one day.
only if don't have a garage, and are a bitch.
Just don't think that it will be cheap or easy. It takes a lot of passion and money.
If you leave it in your garage and never touch it for years, then yes, it just a meme. Of you actually work on it, it is a real hobby and source of satisfaction.
Nope. Just start with a vehicle worth saving.
My dad was doing it for years before I grew up enough to help him out. He still does projects alone now that i've been gone in college.
So its doable if you know what your doing.
Ive been slowly semi restoring a couple of cars over the last few months. It helps if you actually have a vehicle you love.
