What do you consider a terminal failure?

Some years ago, I red a jaguar magazine. it came with my car!!! it described the rebuild of E type cars in the UK. A brutal disassembly. The blue wrench!!! Then forming sections from virgin steel. And infinite care in the fine points. From crusty junk to a sound beautiful Car!!!

There was some guy who built a restomod E-type, and just about all that was left of the original car was the panel separating the trunk from the passenger compartment.

was that Guy Chip Foose…. Turned a brit in to an Italian American…
