The restoration in and of itself was cool, but holy hell some of the other cars in that shop were insane! Was a tour through rally history without leaving your chair.

Incredible work.
Just imagine when people start restoring ITRs and 300ZX TTs back to factory spec and they are spending tons of time looking for parts that were thrown away by ricers.

You forgot PASSION, we all know how "boring" these projects start to get. (as to the "I don't care how it looks anymore, cuz I can't find the right parts, etc..." stage)

When you're a Saudi with 30+ years of oil money it's pocket change to spend $$$$$$ restore a car from rust to like-new top perfomance... and then put the car on a pedestal in your own personal museum behind a velvet rope.
Oh and LOL, that Model A is crazy!! Love the milkwagon wheels:D :eek:
Looks like that shop is based in Finland :dunno:

Wow, I wonder how many hours were put into that.... unbelievable...
I'm probably just stupidly ignorant, but what engine is that?
I have never seen dual spark plugs before?

Simply awesome. I wish all shops had that kind of drive and dedication to the work. What I can't believe is the amount of time and effort they put in to the small details. If you didn't notice, all those brass linkages and bolts (!!!) were remade by hand!
This is passion at its finest right here.
