Talk:Preservation and restoration of automobiles

message: This page could use some work.  I added some photos and a contents, but I am by no means a style expert.  I think the whole article should be re-written with an emphasis on citing references and a more consistent, encyclopedic tone.  Also, the catagories I added may need to be changed.  Note that the exterior catagory is completely empty.  I've added a few refs to this page, but it could use a whole lot more.   If I find the time I might work on a rewite, but there are alot of other things on my to do list.  If you have the time, I encourage anyone out there to take this task.  Thanks.

message: Not my area of expertise, but as someone who has dabbled with classic cars and so read around the topic a bit, I doubt that the very narrow definition of restoration used in this article is even the most commonly used one, let alone the only one. By the definition used here: "a car restored to the condition in which it was first sold", almost no car has ever been restored. Even for something like an MG Midget or a Triumph Spitfire where vast catalogues of parts are available, many of them are not the same as those used when the car was first built so their inevitable use as parts wear out apparently renders your car a non-restoration. Oddly, the article itself suggests the use of galvanised components, whose use would render the car "restomodded" in the terms of this article.
The answer of course is to find references and re-write the article (if necessary) in line with those. I don't really have any suitable sources, but surely such could be found? 4u1e (talk) 15:51, 1 August 2009 (UTC)
