Rust Valley Restorers

Post by 70GMC »

So for you mopar guys and classic motor enthusiasts try a look at this show.
It’s based up in the west coast of Canada in Tappen BC as it’s known and it’s about an old petrol head called Mike Hall who has collected over 500 motors over the years. There appears to be a lot of mopars just sitting around waiting for the magic wand to bring them back to life.
Well Mike does this I would say in the old fashioned way …

The show can be found either on the history channel or Netflix. I think there in there 5th season anyway, it’s worth the watch to see how these motors turn out.
I hope you enjoy the show and the motors….almost wants you to jump on a plane and take a look…..well maybe.

I’ve watched most of them. Entertaining show and some classy restos.
Not that keen on the other show on Netflix, Car Masters: Rust to Riches. To many cars on 20 inch rims and resto mods.

Plus one for the ‘love this show’. Watched from the start - so funny. I love how he does a deal and comes back with 3 more wrecks…
Not a rivet-counter shop for sure but they have a certain charm.

Few years ago I drove right past it - before the show - and never knew it was there… if you find it on Google earth the field of dreams is about a mile up the road to the north.

I also enjoy the show but have to agree with James....I wouldn't let any of them near my car :shock: :shock:

I loved the episode where the haulage driver offered to buy the whole place. Was a big money offer until you add up the cars, the land, the buildings etc then it didn't seem as generous as I first thought.

Cheers Steve :thumbright:

That's really interesting. I didn't realise the car yard and restoration shop were separate :thumbright:
