This looks awesome guys!
What software are you using? Do you know any online tutorials? I'd love to learn photo restoration but it's quite difficult to figure things out on my own.

I use, almost exclusively, GIMP. Its an open source free download and a very powerful tool. Photoshop has more features but can be a bit minty for the occasional user. There are others too but I have found GIMP serves me well enough. Youtube has dozens of tutorials on whatever software you settle on. The tutorials will give you a decent grounding on the basics, but there is no substitute for getting a photo up and getting stuck in and learning for yourself. You will find that what works on one image doesn't necessarily do the same on another so you learn as you go. I've been using it for years and I doubt that I have even scratched the surface on what it can do.
I have only been doing the restorations for a relatively short period, as previously I tended to mainly dodge about with my own pics and doing fun pics for my kids and grandkids. The restorations however, give me an immense amount of satisfaction and knowing that someone else benefits from the result, even more so.
I have also learned a lot from all the restorers on here. What a great bunch of generous and like minded souls they all are. This whole site restores your faith in human nature. If you have any queries you can always PM me.... go for it!
