>Cars are considered """classic""" at 25 years old, but a vehicle really needs that certain something, to be classic and, no, your shitbox 1993 Honda Miata is not a classic.
>Everybody has their own taste, enter if it's of age or rarity.
>Post your classic, your work on it, your hackery, and get advice.
>Any and all discussion about classics welcome, but may not necessarily generate responses, don't get butthurt.
>Any and all classics welcome regardless of nationality.
>Performance > Cosmetics
>Metal > Plastic
>Classic shitbox > modern shitbox.
>It's perfectly fine to use RTV. Ignore the haters.
>If you see rust there is probably more.
>rust and bodywork are by far the most difficult thing to repair.
>Electrical work is second most difficult.
>The hardest part of an engine swap is getting the wiring sorted out.
>Do NOT buy a classic and plan to pay somebody to work on it. You need to be able to do 90% or greater of the work or you will go broke.
>You will inevitably spend twice your budget, unless you have years of experience under your belt. If all the salty old hands agree, it's probably true.
