Do we need a 'Builds & Restorations' Section?
Guys like Reenen, Apoc, Grips &, of course, Rudi Hinze do great builds.
Other guys may do smaller restorations or upgrades.
I know guys like Thys & Grips are fanatical followers of Build's & many others, like me, love following a build.
Is there any value in dedicated "Builds & Restorations" section?

I think its the way to go. We need more order
through natural sections ... some threads live a short life and then just drop out of focus and discussion - even if they are good ones.
Having focussed sections makes threads easier to find, follow and comment on... will keep them alive , as appropriate.
Builds & Restorations
Overlanding
Trip Reports and Aspects
etc
as appropriate wrt our members interests
and main recogniseable thread sections.

I love Build and Restore threads,

I see the section is up and running - good idea.
Can the mods please move the current resto and build threads to that section?

I will move full blown build Threads to the new section, but it's a major schlepp to do.
Rudi's "Fyn Brag" Thread can stay where it is & he can start a dedicated Thread in the new section...

We need a wheelbarrow repair section as well, please MalMan !!!! And one where we can discuss the pros and cons of different types of fuel saving devices and chips that improve your power and torque output .................
