Re: Restore or buy restored ?

[Ashley James]

I couldn't disagree more, Alpine Eagle's restorations are organic
and manage to convey everything that the car has accumulated during
it's life, they aren't quite perfect. P & A Wood's are and they make
a car look like it was made yesterday in a CNC controlled Japanese
car factory. It's not the same at all.

Please suspend judgement until you have seen the work of what is one
of the finest restoration companies in the world. It's nice to find
old and original cars, but when you go through them they are tired and
worn out and need completely rebuilding.

A 1929 Bugatti is a blacksmith's job with a twisting chassis that
slowly dismantles the parts of the body that rot and insects didn't
find in the eighty years since it was built.

Have a look at some of the photos on Rich's site and I think you'll
see what I mean.
