Is the engine in good working order? What about the transmission, does it shift to the right or slip? What about electrical wires, padding on the inside and paint on the outside? Imagine the car of your dreams. Your dream car can be something you've always wanted, like your brother's car in high school, your dad's old car, or even a car you've always wanted but couldn't afford, can -maybe it could be something fast or exotic like a Ferrari or a Lamborghini. . But for people like me, one of my dream cars doesn't come from the present or the future, it comes from the past. For those of us whose dream car is from the past, we can't just walk into a dealership and buy one. Buying an older car that is three, four, or maybe even seven decades old can be a real pain in the rear end, as it may have several mechanical issues. But if you have the time, money and ambition to do such a thing, you should probably consider something called auto restoration. We all know that cars aren't meant to last forever, but car restoration can breathe new life into an older car and make it look and run like new. Restoring a car gives it more value when you sell it or at an auction and ensures its collector car status, but it won't be easy. “Restoring a car is a big undertaking. It's not something to start with if you don't have a lot of time, money and know-how. But if done correctly, you can bring a car back from the dead and bring it back to its original factory specifications - or you can build your own custom machine. In any case, why pass up the opportunity to finally drive the car of your dreams? (George) The labor, the cost and all the work that needs to be done to make the car look like new again will all depend on the car you choose...... middle of paper ...... y fabric . For some parts you may need a degreaser, but tap water will do the majority of the job. Last but not least, you will turn to the interior of your car. To clean plastics or other hard surfaces, you can simply take a cloth and some clean water and wipe everything with light pressure. When it comes to soft fabrics and upholstery, you can clean them using damp cloths and a vacuum cleaner. “If you notice that a bird has pooped on your car, wash it as quickly as possible. Bird waste contains compounds that can damage most automotive paint jobs. If you leave it in the sun and the droppings cook, you might end up with a dull spot in the paint. If you want to show your support for a cause, car magnets are better than bumper stickers. They do not damage paint and are easy to move and remove once the fashion has passed. (Longhurst)
