I imagine the same way you get the original flavor Fiats they're based on.

I don't know how to do that, either!

My aunt has a ratty yellow Polski Fiat in her garage, maybe she'd sell it to me. And then I spend like five times what it's worth getting it to the States.

I Dno the last upload was in December. Granted he does a poo poo ton of fabrication that im sure takes weeks at a time and everything is x2 AND I'm assuming has actual customer projects he needs to do to. Im sure we should see something soon. Do they have a Facebook or something with small updates?

They're probably to-be-crushed press cars. fast n loud which is also sponsored by dodge got the scat pack challenger, and pulled the engine to stick into an older challenger. I would imagine freiburger's comment about putting a hellcat in a roadkill vehicle may lead to the same. Maybe pulling the motorhome 440 out of the charger and making a ratty 700hp charger.

They need to do that swap again; motorhome 440 into another charger, hellcat V8 into the motorhome.

when I saw the bit with the ramp truck rescue, I had a brief hope that it was leading up to Hellcat Gremmy.

I did notice that someone sure did an amazing job getting the melted rubber shreds from the tri-burnout off of the cars before the motocross track filming though.

MCM is the best advertising Ichibarn or Turbo Yoda ever had so I'm betting the cost of a older Liberty is zero compared to the customer lineup due to the show.

Still is cool guy but those two businesses really get a biiiiiig leg up from MCM. Just before MCM got big and Ben was just one of Marty's mates, Ichibarn went into recievership, Mechanical Stig and his partner bought them out and weren't exactly flush with cash - now they are pretty much the biggest place for Subaru importing and mechanics, some due to they are in fact quite good, the main part due to the huge publicity of MCM being in their workshop.

How much would a punted-to-poo poo 11 year old Liberty with an EJ205, automatic, and a filthy interior fetch for someone like Turbo Yoda in the Australian market anyway? I can't see the car being a lot more than $5k AUD or so.

Anything up to 10K. Second hand Subarus are not bargins in Aussieland and that 03 didnt look too bad apart from the kms. I still want a SpecB manual wagon one day :(

Too true. I threw thousands at people just going by word of mouth when I was stuffing about with rotaries in the 90s.
If anyone was on the east coast with project cars, these guys would be almost printing money and have more work than they could handle due to the advertising MCM brings.

Breath deflector to avoid fogging up the visor. It just makes your exhaled breath go down and out of the helmet
