2007 "Red Yaris" RS Restoration

[komichal]

I personally find a lot more attractive if somebody restores a "normal car" rather than some rare "piece of art" that needs to sit in a museum after the successful restoration.
I wish I had time, space, money and knowledge to do that as well. :) Nice work!

Thank you, komichal! All of this is such a great learning experience. Some day, maybe in retirement, I will attempt the restoration of a more 'classic' automobile. Not like a true classic, but something interesting and sporty. That said, anything I fix up/restore, will get driven regularly. I agree. What's the point in putting in lots of effort and time if you can't enjoy it, other than staring at it? For the time being, my hope is to find more Yari that are seemingly destined for the scrapyard (aka, fail inspection due to the rear rust) or other minor issues, fix them up and put them back on the road. Who knows, maybe it could net me a little supplemental income in retirement.
