For People Who See Potential In Rust
The Resto Hub was built because project cars don't belong on generic classifieds. Here, 'barn find' means barn find. 'V5 present' actually matters. And 'rolling shell' doesn't need explaining.
Browse Project CarsWhy I Built theRestohub
I’m Tom from Sheffield. I love all vehicles really, but more than the vehicle i enjoy the project. I enjoy the process of tearing something apart and rebuilding it, to be something even better and unique if possible. A few years back I sold my 1991 Suzuki Samurai 413 before I finished it. Thought I’d just pick up another one later. Turns out they don’t grow on trees. Now I’d give a lot to get it back. Trying to replace it was a nightmare. You’ve been there: 20 Facebook groups, Marketplace full of “spares or repair” windscreen wipers, and eBay showing you new floor mats when you typed “barn find”. So I built The Resto Hub instead. It’s just for UK project stuff — barn finds, projects, american cars, rolling shells, MOT failures, unfinished builds. No dealer fees. No scammers asking “is this still available?” at 2am. Just people who see a rusty shell and think “that’s got potential”. If that’s you, you’re in the right place. List free, find your next build, and let’s keep these things out of the scrapyard.
The Problem With Other Sites
Facebook means trawling hundreds of groups + Marketplace. eBay's full of parts, not projects. The forums are dead. I wanted one place to find barn finds, MOT failures, unfinished restos — all of it.
So I Built This
I'm just a guy who loves cars and works on my own when I can. I recently finished restoring a 1991 Nissan Figaro for my wife — so I get the late nights, the parts hunts, the "why did I start this" moments. This site is for people like us. Builders, dreamers, people with more ambition than garage space.
