Sorry for no "before" photo...
This 1969-ish PX10 came out the dumpster one Saturday morning behind The Off Ramp bike shop in Mountain View, and I carried it home on the bike that I rode there on. This was my first Peugeot and the first vintage bike I ever restored, though the paint only received touch-up and the rubbing compound did most of the work.

I knew little about vintage bike valuation so originality took a back seat, but I ended up with a bike that I used to do quite a few serious rides on, even some 80-mile rides on these Roval tubulars that turned up at a bike swap meet in Davis for $20.

The U08 behind it came from Salvation Army just a couple of years later, in 1999, for $20. It didn't need so much work and remains nearly all-original.
