this. refreshing indeed. i'm all about extracting maximum lifespans / value out of everything, and especially fond of a good bodge that will keep product out of the landfill. i also love hardware with well earned character & patina. beaters are rad. anyone can load up a credit card with the latest trick bits, but it's quirky stuff that proudly display heaps of loving (ab)use and character that i find fascinating.
also - EG hatches rule. i had one for years; served me well for many miles & countless adventures. was properly beat when i finally got rid of it (though the engine was still solid at 300+k), slammed & loud - total kids car - but i loved that thing till the end.
