Exploring and GIVING AWAY an ABANDONED CAR

[@Lot76CARS]

I’m surprised you’re not going to restore this😮 to be fair Renault 9s are pretty thin on the ground so the parts will be useful for someone at least.

[@JohnsGarageIreland]

It'll help someone that's for sure, I can't weld so beyond me to fix it

[@michaelloftus9780]

What of its fate John? Did anyone take it?

[@JohnsGarageIreland]

Absolutely, a viewer picked it up on Monday. It's donating some hard to get parts for another restoration. I had 43 emails about it. I'm recording a video later with more viewers cars for sale.

You'll need to invest in some gardening tools, pole saws, multi-tools.. or at least a pair of hedgeclippers 😄. Pity you couldn't see the mileage on it, will probably go to the crusher

[@JohnsGarageIreland]

I had a chainsaw and bill hook, but the owner said I wouldn't need it 😂 How wrong they were. Anyway, given the amount of interest in it, I think it's going to a new home. It's a perfect parts car 🚗 👍 👌 and fortunately the price is right ✅️ 😀 👌

Jack Corbett of the Cannibal Cars channel would be the man to get it running. A great little channel if you haven’t seen it.

[@JohnsGarageIreland]

I actually reached out to him about it but he wasn't interested. I thought it would be right up his street. It'll get a new home though, HUGE INTEREST in it.

[@whitegtr]

Thanks for the heads up about Cannibal Cars. Just subscribed. KZbin is rubbish for searching for this kind of stuff. Anyone have a list of all the Irish car youtube channels? The ones I have found so far are just through forums or the like.

[@JohnsGarageIreland]

@whitegtr The KZbin algorithm doesn't push Irish content due to the small potential audience/advertising revenue stream. It's a pity, but there you go.

That thing is roached…..
