The YouTube pros make it look so easy. One of my favourite channels is Vice Grip Garage, wherein charming Minnesotan mechanic Derek Bieri ventures into the undergrowth to extract long-forgotten classic cars, remove the rat nests, replace the requisite fuel lines and tyre stems and nurse them several hundred miles back to his ranch - often several decades since they last turned a wheel in anger.
Customarily, he can take a rusted-out, moss-covered hunk of junk from abandoned to animated in the space of a day, using the most basic of tools.
