RE: Post your favorite ae86 pics here for inspiration
I'm split 50/50 between inspiration and avoid on this restoration of a very rusty GTV:


There are so many sketchy things happening in that video: using the excavator as a lift, a big wooden beam as support whilst working under the car, stitching the rear hatch together with a soldering iron and lead, painting the car outside in an open field and the list goes on... If you look well you will see the paint looks awful: it is done uneven and has a lot of matte areas on the bonnet.
On the other hand: this car would otherwise rusted away in misery and never seen the light of day again, so it is good they saved it.
The video has 600K views and mostly positive comments. This proves once again people only go for the looks and not if its done well. Imagine someone doing the a similar job and then selling it off to someone unsuspecting on the other side of the globe...
