g'day Nev

What sort of car restoration shows are you interested in ?

there is quite a few different shows that cover quite a few different types of car restoration....if you can call whacking $100,00 worth of electronics, wheels and paint jobs in an old bomb, restoration :rolleyes:.

My favourite is a pommy bloke who builds or restores things from ground up the show is called ***** is born/reborn depending on what he is building. At the moment he is restoring an E type Jag. In the past he has built a race car from a kit, a hybrid landrover (my favourite), a plane and a helicopter. I think thats on Saturdays or Sundays at around 1.00 pm.

Another good one is an Ausssie show called "rodders life".....looks like its made by a couple of blokes in their backyard :D. But is interesting none the less....I cant remember when that one is on though


There is probably 4 or 5 others (that i can think of) that more or less could be considered restoration shows depending on what your into.

cheers

Nev check out www.foxtel.com.au
then look at How To Channel, Lifstyle, and Discovery and Discovery Science
or Optus or SkyTV

They all have their own web site so you could see whats happening at the time.

I agree with BD about the pommie guy who starts from scratch but like American Choopers there is American Hot Rods which for the vehicles is great the rest of the crap :doh:
