Whats the biggest heap of turd you've ever bought back to life again? The beauty of our cars is that almost everything is still available easily, and there really is no such thing as 'beyond salvage', so here's a thread for yo'all to show us (pics are good!) the befores and afters of cars you've brought back from the brink.

Some I've been involved with...

Harrys 2cv...





Finished:



John Camps D*lly:

(not a great deal wrong with this tbh!)





Finished:



Dennis' Special:

(this wasn't exactly a lot of work, but made a lot more difficult because somebody silly had been there first)





Kentish Hoppers project car:













Show us yours! before/after pics.

Not too epic but I was still proud of it:

Before:


After:


It's pretty far away from a 2cv but this got serious:

Cor Lenny, thats the first 2cv to RangeRover convesion Ive seen, still on 602?



my blue one had a tree growing thru the bit that was supposed to be chassis

the bottom 4" was cut of the bodyshell, toe board b pillar boot sills etc will find the disk with photos soon

just picked up a nice shell today....let the Orangness begin


now got something to sit on my £28 toyos and £60 Boges

Now there's a thought. It'd be no ball of fire but it might make the mpg get into double figures for a change.

Not sure I'd call it an epic rebuild, but still working on this fella:





Now sitting on a new chassis, new floors windscreen surround, boot floor, inner rear wings. Engine is back together, but not firing yet, turns over but no fire - think I'm missing a spark or two.

At the reassembly stage now - missing the vital box with all the little rare bits in though...

My van was in a bit of a state when I got it:










Finished!

Photos of my cars rebuild.

Some more photos.

Hello. This is aks400 that I restored for my customer. All the body parts was made from me and almost everything was change... Roof and firewall is still original ...
