Restoring a old car? Not something i think you can ask opinions on to be honest. Just think of your faveourite car, something with character, something that you loved when you were younger.

To be honest if you dont know what you want to restore you will never do it. Takes a lot od dedication and time to restore a car, most people that restore a car have been wanting to do whichever car they choose for years.
