I have some exciting news for you Jalops. I am looking to purchase a new car to restore, and I figured there would be no better place to look for something cool and weird than on Jalopnik. I Don’t really have a budget, so take a picture of your car (or any car you think is worthy of restoration, regardless of who owns it) tell me a price, and why I should restore it. If I get over 100 responses, I WILL buy one of the cars commented.

If anyone could share this to the car buying section, it would be greatly appreciated.

I’ll give you my ‘96 Ford Fiesta.. But you’ll have to ship it from Norway to your place (I’m guessing the US). It needs a new exhaust, new shock absorbers, new springs, something is VERY wrong with the steering rack so that needs replacing.. It needs new rear arches, and a new hatch.. Uhm.. it’s been in a small accident at one point, so the left headlight is a bit crooked... Oh.. and it needs a paintjob. Oh yeah, there’s something wrong with the airbags, don’t know what though.

But the engine is nice.

Here’s a picture of one, mine is a three door though, but in the same colour.

I’ve got a ‘98 Firebird V6 with a blown engine that is in need of some loving. It would make a great start for a V8 build, and I’ll let it go for next to nothing:

For real though, what is the weirdest car you’ve ever restored? Also, how did you get authorship with zero commenting history?

Ooh ooh I have an abandoned Crown Vic on my property. You can restore it if you like for the cost of cutting down the tree that grew between the driveway and garage door. (Note, I really don't understand Illinois ownership laws of abandoned property.)

A cizeta v16t that someone had swapped an ls3 into. As to the second part of your question, no idea.

One of only what, 20 V16Ts in the world? I’ll believe it when I see it. Are you by chance related to idriveacl63amg?

Let me rephrase that. I did not personally restore it, I was apart of a team that did so for a client.

Do you have a web portfolio showing some of your work? If you’re working on stuff at that level, I’m sure it’d be fun to read a build thread or look at some pictures.

Perhaps you are familiar with Legendary Motorcars?

Peter something or other, the Canadian guy that had a show for a while on Velocity?

No, I’m not familiar. Where are you/they located?

I left long before that, but that is the same one.

So you worked for him but wasn’t on the show, but still same shop.

I watched the show here and there, it aired at weird times or something. I watch Velocity alot though, something to do when I’m bored I guess.

It's a rental property. Previous renter left it, it's been there for a few years now. Haven't bothered with it. I also have an abandoned Jetta, and an older Audi on what looks to be oem bbs or bbs style wheels.

Holy shit yo, can you take pictures?

The cars we restored before the show were fortunately just as good.

Yea seemed like he did good work, for at least what the show aired. Have to at least do great work to get ahold of the stuff he did.

Could you talk a little bit more about this project? Is there any photos of this?

Thanks man!

That thing is awesome! How long has it been there?

Somewhere between 10-15 years. Family left it temporarily when they went to Europe, ended up staying permanently. I atcually have the keys to it, and it ran when parked. I also have permission to do whatever I want with it, but there's a wasp nest in it that holds me back from my LeMons dreams.

There’s a great 190e just begging for a restoration that an Oppo on here has.
