Thank you so much for pointing out that I will need to look into whether I want my Porsche to look like it originally did or if I want to add a unique style to it. I inherited this old, rusted Porsche from my grandfather. I want to get it looking like new, but I also want it to stand out. It sounds like I should look into services that can restore it and give me a custom look.

You make a great point about how car restoration will cost around 10 grand. What would the quick roadside repairs that happen all of the time cost? I'll have to consider getting a towing service if the car is broken down beyond self-fixing.

My dad has found a really old car that he wants to be able to drive around in order to be a lot safer. He would really like to get some help from a professional to make sure that it will work properly. It was interesting to learn about how he should determine which systems he is going to do himself, and what he might need some help with to get the optimal outcome.
