Five years ago, my mother bought this car, thinking it was a solid classic. But over time, the truth came out — this car had multiple past damages, questionable repairs, and years of neglect. And it gets worse. The wiring is a complete mess. Random switches, added gauges, and modifications that make absolutely no sense. On top of that, every single wear part is completely worn out. At some point, there was only one logical option left: Sell it… or send it to the junkyard - but I decided to do the opposite. I’m going to bring this Renault 4 back to life. Not as a perfect museum piece — but as a properly restored, reliable car that can be driven and enjoyed in everyday life. This is going to be a full, honest restoration. No shortcuts. In this first episode, I start with a complete disassembly. This is where the real condition of the car is revealed… and things get worse than expected. In this series: Full teardown Hidden damage exposed Fixing terrible wiring & modifications If you like real restorations, classic cars, and saving machines that most people would give up on — subscribe and follow the journey. #Renault4 #CarRestoration #Restoration #JunkyardRescue #ProjectCar #BarnFind #RestorationProject #VintageCars #Renault #FullRestoration #Disassembly #CarRebuild #AutomotiveRestoration #RustRepair #ClassicCars #SaveTheClassics #JunkyardRescue #DIYRestoration #GarageProject #Oldtimer #MechanicLife
