01

Find it.

Name the part, check what should be there and compare local, donor and overseas options.

02

Fix it.

See the tools, materials, steps, warnings, useful references and real cost before you start.

03

Finish it.

Track the next job, the money already committed and the evidence that proves what worked.

TALK TO RESTORE REPLACE

Hands busy?
Talk through the job.

Use large captions, Greasy Hands Mode and deliberate “Look Now” frames to discuss what is in front of you. The assistant never treats background noise as purchase approval and manual workflows remain available.

How it works

From the first photo
to the final bolt.

It does not pretend the camera knows everything. You stay in charge of the vehicle identity, the job list, safety decisions and every dollar spent.

01

Add the vehicle

Start with what you know: make, model, year, chassis details and the goal for the build.

02

Take the photos

The phone guide walks you around the vehicle and calls out the angles that still need coverage.

03

Check the job list

Review what may be missing, damaged, incomplete or wrong. Confirm it, correct it or bin it.

04

Restore or replace

Compare tools, time, repair cost, replacement cost, fitment evidence and your budget.

05

Do the job

Follow the repair steps or compare local and overseas replacement options before buying.

06

Keep the record

Save what worked, what did not, what it cost and the before-and-after evidence.

Before you hand over the money

Check a project before you buy it.

Found something on Marketplace? Share the listing with Restore Replace before you spend your money.

We’ll help identify the vehicle, spot visible missing or damaged items, estimate Restore-or-Replace costs, flag what the photos cannot prove and show whether the project is likely to fit your budget.

When repair makes no sense

Replace it.

Check likely names and numbers, donor compatibility, seller evidence, measurements, delivered cost and fitment confidence before buying.

FROM QUICK FIX TO GROUND-UP BUILD

The whole vehicle.
One honest Garage Plan.

Restore Replace helps with the whole vehicle — mechanical, electrical, body, paint, wrap, interior and parts.

For every job, compare four paths:

Then build a Garage Plan around your budget, time, tools and finish line.

TWO SHELLS. ONE REAL PROJECT.

KEEP THE PROJECT MOVING

Use the time and money you have.

Tell Restore Replace how much time and money you have this week. It will give you the next useful job, track what is blocking progress and help stop the project becoming another permanent garage ornament.

SHOW ME THE FINISHED BUILD

Try the look.
Before the real spend.

Use private vehicle photos to compare paint, wrap, wheels, stance, trim, interior and restomod directions. Connect the chosen look to likely jobs, parts, costs and timeline.

FREE GARAGE VIEWING

GARAGE TV

Official build stories, practical how-to viewing and real garage inspiration. Watch free YouTube sources here, save a watchlist with a free account, then get back to the job in front of you.

Official embeds and provider links only. No pirated, downloaded or re-hosted episodes.

THE RESTORE REPLACE SWAP MEET

Ask the Garage.
Before the internet.

See what members already have sitting in sheds, garages, donor vehicles and parts piles. Buy it, sell it, swap it or give it away — with no listing fee, no required subscription and no percentage added to the part.

Members arrange payment, pickup and freight themselves. Restore Replace does not hold funds, guarantee the item or guarantee fitment.

THE GARAGE COMMUNITY

Real projects.
Evidence labelled.

Ask a practical question, keep a public or private Build Thread, watch official Garage TV together and turn useful fixes into a structured library that keeps the failures too.

Project data and media stay private unless the owner deliberately shares them. AI assistants are labelled; humans make moderation and certification decisions.

Hard-to-find parts

Look further without
buying blind.

When the local price is mad—or the part simply is not here—build a clear enquiry for overseas sellers and wreckers. Ask for the photos, numbers and measurements that matter, compare the true delivered cost, and keep a record of the answer.

  • Local-language enquiry templates
  • Supplier photos and measurement requests
  • Part price, freight and delivered-cost comparison
  • Nothing is sent or purchased without your approval
