Hi everyone
I'm coming to you all the way from Germany (you know, that tiny place across the Atlantic from America).
I found this place by just googling, since what I'm planning/looking for doesn't exist around here.
See, in Germany restoring a classic car means restoring it to "as it left the factory" 99% of the time.
Modifying a classic car is VERY unusual, and things like Resto-Mods or Pro-Touring Builds simply don't exist.
However, I'm planning to do a Restomod on a 1960's Ford Mustang (not very unique, I know).
I'm here looking for contact to the community, a lot of inspiration (since I got none of that locally) and if I need it some help.
And I hope I can maybe give some good advice here and there too.
I honestly do envy car-guys in North-America for the freedom they got in modifying, but I think I might still manage to put together a neat package even within Germany's strict limits/regulations.
Long story short, I don't have space/financial means to start wrenching yet, so I'm using the waiting-time to learn so I know what I want when the project becomes reality.
I like having a (relatively) clear plan before starting the project "physically", and I'm a bit of a perfectionist, so...that time won't be wasted.
Max
P.S.:
Any other Europeans/Germans here?
