Making a 30 y/o set of wheels new. It took multiple sessions of sanding and polishing, each of which I came out looking like the tin man from the amount of aluminum dust. But I can say they’re 99.9% perfect. After building a polishing jig, powder coating, valve stems, decals, and other misc expenses, I probably saved a couple hundred bucks over buying a brand new set. Was it worth it? Hell yes! I learned a lot and the ‘vintage factor’ is priceless.

Olive is most assuredly a project, but one much further along than I typically start with. She's an unusual sedan with some quirks, and has been off the road for a little over 10 years. I've driven her once, but when I filled up the gas tank for the first time, I found there were about 15 pinholes! Thankfully, a friend of mine sent me an NOS tank, and I'm replacing the old gas-soaked carpet and underlayment as well. Anyone else got a Triumph saloon (sedan) on here?
