This saying has been around so long now I remember 20 yrs ago when I had my s2 I stripped it to bare with a Haynes and a Halfords socket set and rebuilt it you do get a buzz knowing you put it all together as long as it stays together
But I wasn't all I built this I love project cars always have they all take massive effort stress and cost I don't think you can truelly put it in a bracket it is what it is sombodies creation you either like it or you don't and as long as it's what you want happy days
