Toyota of Clermont's tips for restoring a classic Toyota car 

Consideration #1: What will you do with this particular classic Toyota car when you're finished? 

What's your goal when all is said and done? Will you sell the car when it's finished to make money? (If so, make sure you keep your budget in mind so you can turn a profit at the end). If you're going to keep it, will you use it for special occasions or is it going to be an everyday car? If it is, then you might want to consider updating some of the parts and accessories to ensure your classic Toyota car is safe and efficient when you hit the road. 

Consideration #2: How much work can you honestly DIY? 

Let's be real - how good are you when it comes to car DIY? The more work you can complete on your own, the more money you can save. Remember, labor is an expensive part of the process so anything you can do yourself, make it happen. However, consider the fact that if you're not TOTALLY sure how to do something or you're going to have to buy quite a few tools to get the job done, then you may want to just leave it to the pros at Toyota of Clermont. 

Consideration #3: What's your budget and how will this car fit into it? 

What is your budget? It's important to consider this BEFORE you start restoring a classic Toyota car. Restoring a car can end up being costly and it's easy to go down the rabbit hole and buy tons of parts and accessories that you might not need. Narrow down exactly what you need to get to your ideal vehicle and stick to that list when it comes to buying parts. And don't forget to factor in labor!
