The slowest post I ever followed was a guy rebuilding a 1952 tractor
I found this thread on a farming forum where a guy documented fixing up an old Ford 8N from a field find. He posted updates every couple weeks for almost 2 years, starting with just a rusted shell and ending with a running tractor. What got me was he explained every step, like how he soaked seized bolts in ATF for three weeks before they broke free. Anybody else follow a restoration thread that took forever to pay off?

My buddy Mark followed a Porsche 356 restoration on a forum that took four years to finish. The guy hand made half the interior panels from scratch because nobody made repro parts for that year model. Mark said the payoff video of the first drive almost made him cry and he didn't even own the car.

Man, I feel that. I spent two years restoring an old Honda CB750 in my garage and the first time it fired up I just sat there grinning like an idiot for five minutes. I'm pretty sure I wired the blinkers backwards but hey, it moved under its own power. Can't imagine doing it on something as rare as a 356 though, that's a whole different league of patience.
