I have a number of mini DV videotapes that were damaged during Katrina. They were in the trunk of my car (not as safe as I thought) and were submerged for a few hours in Bay St. Louis, MS. Have put off searching for a restoration service until now.
Does anyone know of a business in SE Louisiana or MS gulf coast that does these restoration services? I have seen websites from some companies in other states that claim to work, but I would **** to send off my tapes out of state.
Anyone with similar experience and good results? Local is great, but I would send them off if I had to, knowing they would do a good job.

Thanks

Hey all, I was wondering if anyone knew of any guides on the internet or books on the subject of restoring vehicles. I have a ‘79 Mustang in storage, it’s been that way for quite some time, and is overall in pretty rough shape; yet I have plans to get it back into working condition. Generally, every inch of that car will need work. So, on to my question: can anyone either link or recommend webpages or books with info on different aspects of restoration and repair? Sorry for being so broad.

Thanks in advance!

I got a 99 Subaru Impreza 2.5 RS. The interior was stripped down to cut weight and now I would like to completely restore the interior. This includes that hard shaped carpet in the trunk, the carpet on the floor and ceiling and everything like that. Where can I purchase these things?

my friend offered me his 65 mustang hardtop and he wants it back but i have no expierience in mechanics and i want to have it. so my question is do you think it will be possible for me to do this in 4-5 years and how much will it cost, its been in the ground for 20 years. there are little rust spots but mostly in ok condition for 20 years. also i can get spare parts from my friends scrap yard so it may cut costs.

Hi everyone.
I’ve been really really depressed lately. I’m 32 now and I have this problem called never having a girlfriend and still being a virgin and loosing every friend I ever thought I had as a result of it.
I feel so jelous and pissed off every time I go out and see young couples smooching and holding hands! Or yet some high school punk in his beat up honda with a coffee can muffler cruising around with some hot girl! I just want to yank his *** up and beat the **** out of him and say what makes you better then me! I know that’s the wrong additude to have but 20 years of being told that your not good looking enough to be boyfriend material has broken my give a damm!!!! From middle school thru high school to co workers, to friends, friends of friends, to blind dates to online dating so on and so forth for over the past 15 years I always got the same rejection over my looks. I’ve always thrived to be a good person and treat others as I would like to be treated. I’ve always offered my complete and total friendship to anyone that needs or wants it, and it has all back fired on me. I can’t get thru a day without wondering how my life would be today if I had meet someone 10 or 15 years ago. And I can’t lay to rest thoughts of the good times and sweet memories I should have of my youth with someone special that isn’t there but only the memories of how I was always told I wasn’t cute, good looking, or attractive enough! But every pretty boy Tom **** and Harry treated them like **** and they loved them just because they was pretty boys!!!! It’s hard for me to even look at the guy in the mirror every morning knowing that I’ve never even been accepted to go on one single date, never been kissed, never had a warm hug and hearing words like I love you. NOTHING!
The differance from me and people that wants to kill themselves is that most people have to try to think of ligit reasons to do it. I have to try and think of one reason not to. People I used to consider friends have nothing to do with me anymore because of this and how I don’t get ***** everyday like they do. I’ve been called every name in the book and a new book started. Gay, queer, even pedofile because I’ve always had a warm spot for kids and used to dream of the day I became a father and the fact that I’ve never had a women in my life people judged me totaly wrong. Two summers ago I was living in Nashville Tn where I was training to be a railroad engineer. At the same time I was working on one of my car restorations of a 1987 Trans Am. I had just got the paint and graphic work done and was going to drive it back to my home town of Kingsport to let everyone see it. I called up Brian and Mike that was old high school friends and told them I was comming in. They made plans to meet me at circuit city. They made big jokes of my black and gold TA with the big eagle on the hood and ask who are you suposed to be Burt Reynolds? I just laughed about that but I didn’t know they had set me up to get me in the store and away from my car so they could have there way with it. They knew how much time, work, and money I had in this thing and what it ment to me and the paint job wasn’t a week old. They took red spray paint and painted the words *** boy, queer, and painted a big **** over the bird on the hood. They recorded the whole time on cam making slurs about me and what a looser I am being a virgin and never had a GF! When I came out and seen my car I feel to my knees and threw up right there in the parking lot, I was so weak at the knees I could not stand! I’ve since lost all faith in people and the future. I feel I’m already dead it’s just my body still walks around empty with no sole.

Just to answer some questions, I’m not fat I still weigh 147 as I did when I graduated high school. I’ve always been active and come from a slinder family. I’m 5 foot 10 blue eyes and light brownish hair kinda like Tom Cruise’s style. As for ways I’ve tryed to be the cool cat thru the years, I studied music, voice and guitar thru my early teens and was lead guitarist in a rock band in high school. Took 4 years auto machanics and got into restoring classic muscle cars all thru my 20s as I still some what do. I built a 1972 plymouth duster that I used to drag race and won placks and trophies with before it was stolen in spring 2004 and found striped out 3 months latter in Virgina. Total loss there. I’ve since went back to college and am now an engineer for CSX railroad.
Would you say my window of opportunity has long since shut at this point of my life????
And could someone please tell me where I went wrong and what I have done to deserve this????

Just if you wanna see some pics.

I have previosly restored 1970 Buick Electra 225, beautiful car. I don’t see many LTD’s though. I’m not interested in reselling to make money, I just love the old cars and do this as a hobby. I’ll always have a soft spot in my heart for Buicks, my favorite is 1967Riviera.
