Well, the heroes need a vehicle. They don't know anyone who will lend them one (probably for good reason). They don't trust Honest John's Dealership. (Would you?) And stealing is not an option. (Not that we'd condone that.) Luckily, they've found a vehicle. Unluckily, it's seen better days. Much better days. In fact, it's an abandoned wreck. But that's not going to stop the heroes. They've come back from low points. Now it's the vehicle's turn. Resurrecting the wreck is when the heroes find their needed vehicle as derelict and set about getting it in better condition. "Better" ranges from just running properly to something amazing. The repair job might be done in the form of a montage or interspersed with plot scenes if it takes longer, but the end result is always worth the time and effort put into working on it. In Real Life, armies in the field on the front lines may face supply line problems, so that the only way they can repair non-functional jeeps, tanks and planes is by salvaging spare parts off wrecked vehicles and planes. Sometimes a skilled mechanic can use a few wrecked vehicles' parts to put together one jury-rigged, but functioning vehicle. Compare Break Out the Museum Piece where the vehicle in question has already been restored to working order when the heroes get their hands on it. May overlap with The Great Repair. |

Adventure Time: In "We Fixed a Truck", Finn, Jake, and BMO fix up an old truck they found with the help of Banana Man. They later use it to drive to the Candy Kingdom to defeat an impostor Princess Bubblegum, although the truck gets destroyed in the process. BMO is saddened by it, but Finn and Jake just respond to the burning wreck with an apathetic "meh." | |

Megas XLR: Coop finds the titular Humongous Mecha rusting in a junkyard under a colossal mountain of junk. According to the yard's owner, Goat, the pile (and, by extension, the robot) had been sitting there since at least the 1930s. The two of them manage to restore MEGAS to working order, give it a sick paint job, and rig up a muscle car to replace its missing head. | |

In SnowRunner, there's a number of tasks where the goal is to repair a truck in the wilderness and deliver it somewhere. Other trucks can be found in similar condition just by roaming around. (However, some are actually in perfect condition, so this doesn't always come up.) | |

Christine: Arnie Cunningham buys the titular derelict 1958 Plymouth Fury from Roland LeBay, who then dies. Roland's brother George is aware that the car is sentient and rightly thinks Arnie should try to dispose of the car quickly. George's pleas go unnoticed as Arnie refurbishes Christine (or possibly not; she may be refurbishing herself) into a shiny 1950s dream machine. Meanwhile, Arnie slowly becomes a jerk towards others thanks to his obsession with Christine, and by the end of the book, he's become a full-on maniac. | |

Girls und Panzer: All of Oarai's tanks have been left abandoned for twenty years after the school closed its last tankery program. None of them were properly mothballed, and only one was actually left in the hanger — the rest were outside and one was even submerged in a pond. Despite this, all of them were brought up to working order within days of being found. | |

In Prehistoric Park Reimagined, the Cool Boat the Ancient Mariner was initially a cargo boat used by Novum during the company's earliest years of existence, only to end up left to spend years in the company shipyard without use as a result of Technology Marches On while the majority of the other former cargo boats ended up either sold to another company or sent on a one way trip to the scrapyard. By sheer luck, the boat that becomes the Ancient Mariner is still in the Novum shipyard when the story's Big Good Theodore Richardson finds it and decides it will fit the purposes of his plans for the then newly thought up Prehistoric Park perfectly, at which point he has it upgraded and repaired in time for the rescue team to make good use of it for the park's rescue missions. | |

Thomas & Friends: In the episode, "School of Duck", the school at Harwick is damaged by a storm, rendering the children unable to go to it until it's rebuilt. While the school is being rebuilt, Daisy is left to take the children to the school at Knapford, much to her dismay. Duck, thinking the job sounds like fun, decides to look for a coach after delivering a train of scrap to Reg so he can do it. Unfortunately, every coach he finds is being used by another engine. Duck eventually comes across Dexter, a decrepit coach abandoned in an overgrown siding, whom he is unable to pull due to broken axles. When he hears from Daisy that it could be months before the School at Harwick is repaired, Duck decides to take Reg's advice about recycling old things and making them new again. He comes across Dexter again and uses Judy and Jerome to take him to the Steamworks to turn him into a mobile classroom. In "Thomas, Percy, and Old Slow Coach", while delivering a train of scrap to the scrapyard, Thomas and Percy come across Old Slow Coach, an abandoned coach set to be broken up despite otherwise being in perfect shape. Thomas and Percy wish there was something they could do to save her, and they get their wish when a workman's hut catches fire and burns down despite the firemen's best attempts to put it out (Thomas and Percy even help by letting them use the water from their newly-filled tanks). The two tank engines suggest that Old Slow Coach be used as a new hut for the workmen, and Sir Topham Hatt has her restored to her former glory. In "The Refreshment Lady's Tea Shop/The Refreshment Lady's Stand", Sir Topham Hatt gives Peter Sam the job of finding a new location for the Refreshment Lady's tea shop. Peter Sam shows the Refreshment Lady the Woodland Way, the Old Castle Causeway, and the Whistling Waterfall, but since she likes all three of these locations, she doesn't know which one she should choose. The following night, a storm breaks out, and when Peter Sam is sent to help Rusty clear the damage, they find a derelict railway coach. Peter Sam collects the coach and gives Sir Topham Hatt the idea to turn it into a mobile tea shop, that way, the Refreshment Lady can sell refreshments wherever and whenever she likes. |

In one episode of 7 Days (1998), a man who was presumed dead after testing an earlier model of The Sphere turns out to have survived. After he blows up the current Sphere, the Backstep Project's only hope to travel back and undo it is using said earlier prototype. Not only is this risky to begin with, but this one had spent years lying in the jungle. | |

It's not clear if the SWAT Kats built the Turbokat out of junk entirely or not, but it's been destroyed a couple of times and damaged at others, forcing major repairs to be made in the latter cases. In another case, they turned their civilian tow-truck into a monster truck to go up against a water-stealing alien. | |

In Mystery Men, Roy is tasked by his junkyard boss to dismantle a weird old tank, but never manages to do so. Near the end of the film, the team's ally, an enthusiast for non-lethal weaponry, sees the tank and explains that it's a "Herkimer Battle Jitney" one-of-a-kind armored vehicle designed not to kill, but instead to disarm its enemies with a high-powered "Electro-Nuclear Magnet" while being impervious to enemy fire, so they resurrect it to use as their transportation to the enemy's hideout. Thankfully, the vehicle's nigh-imperviousness made it resistant to any kind of damage—including attempts to scrap it—meaning it was still mostly intact in the first place. | |

In Don't Escape: 4 Days to Survive, you find an old, broken-down car in an abandoned barn. To get it back in working condition (which lets you travel around the map faster and bring more items with you), you need to find gasoline, an ignition coil, and a spare tire. Later, Barry can further improve the car to reduce its gas consumption. | |

Unfortunately, Launchpad crashes their plane when landing. After an adventure with a group of unfriendly natives and Tarzan Expy Greydrake, they find the "statue". It's actually another crashed plane, the one Greydrake came in on. When Mrs. Beakley points out that Greydrake is supposed to be coronated in a few days, they set about repairing the plane. | |

He then shows up at Dominic's garage with a wrecked Toyota Supra. Luckily, the car's 2JZ engine is intact and the crew gets to working on it. The end result is powerful enough to defeat a Ferrari in a drag race. | |

When the eponymous group from The A-Team works on a vehicle, they're usually weaponizing it. But in the episode "Knights of the Road", they end up fixing up an old tow truck that hadn't run in years. They end up using it to go after the Villain of the Week and when they've sufficiently angered him enough to attack them, then they weaponize it. | |

Star Wars: The Old Republic: In Knights of the Fallen Empire, after the Outlander and crew escape into the swamps of Zakuul, they come across a derelict ship that's been lying there for centuries. Koth quickly realizes it's the Gravestone, the only ship known to have taken on the Eternal Fleet and won, meaning it's now a vitally important asset that they need to get operational again. Several missions are spent gathering supplies and materials for repairs and clearing out the local wildlife that have made nests inside the hulk. | |

Drake & Josh: In "Dune Buggy", Drake's friend gives the brothers his old Dune Buggy... which is completely trashed and utterly unusable. They make fixing it into a project, but once it's fixed, their parents refuse to let them drive it. Drake drives it anyway and gets into a crash, which he's forced to hide, covering up both his horrible injuries and the damage to the buggy. | |

As you rescue your friends in Far Cry 3, they gradually repair an old fishing boat found wrecked in a sea cave. Why they don't just use one of the modern, fully-functional boats or helicopters scattered around the islands isn't addressed, but presumably they wouldn't have been able to travel rough seas or have the range needed to reach safe land. | |

The plot of The Flight of the Phoenix (1965), its 2004 remake, and the novel on which both were based is centered on this trope. However, instead of the protagonists discovering and repairing a derelict plane, they build a new plane out of the wreckage of the one which crashed in the first place. | |

In Mobile Suit Gundam 0083: Stardust Memory, Kou Uraki meets an ex-Principality of Zeon mobile pilot named Kelley Layzner, who is content to retire after the end of the One Year War. In his spare time, Kelley tries to restore a leftover mobile armor called the MA-06 Val Walo. While both men are aware of their past and current military affiliations, they decide to work together and repair the Val Walo because of common experience as soldiers. | |

BattleTech: Mechs are known for their insane durability. Unless a mech's center torso is destroyed or it gets destroyed by artillery or nuclear attack, a mech can be repaired given enough time and money. Canonically, even a mech that had been left sitting out in the open, completely exposed to the elements for decades or possibly centuries can be brought up to working order after some time in a repair facility. | |

He then shows up at Dominic's garage with a wrecked Toyota Supra. Luckily, the car's 2JZ engine is intact and the crew gets to working on it. The end result is powerful enough to defeat a Ferrari in a drag race. The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift: To race against Takashi, Sean and Han's friends restore a 1967 Ford Mustang that Sean's father was working on, using the engine salvaged from Han's destroyed Nissan Silvia S15 Spec-S. |

Ninjago: After their monastery is burned down by the Serpentine, the ninja move into a derelict ship called the Destiny's Bounty that Zane finds in the desert. They spend the beginning of the next day cleaning it and Jay installs a system to allow the ship to fly in order to make it a mobile base. We later see how the ship and its original pirate crew sank during a storm long ago, and in the same episode, the pirates are resurrected and battle the ninja. While the ninja also go on to use other headquarters, the Bounty and updated versions of it serve as their HQ for the majority of the series, being rebuilt or upgraded every time it's damaged or destroyed. | |

Multiple strips depict them discussing repairs, overhauls or wholesale replacements for its various parts and their plans to take a cross-American road trip in it once it's working again; but, comic strip continuity being what it is, they never approach their goal and the van remains perpetually broken and under maintenance. | |

However, they don't have a boat... until George brings them the boat Hoops and Cassandra found on the beach earlier.

Warhammer 40,000: In the Gaiden Game Gorkamorka, the background plot for the game is the Orks trying to rebuild the spaceship they crash-landed on the planet again because a civil war broke out over which of their identical-to-a-non-Ork gods it was meant to represent, nearly destroying the ship. The Meks working on the titular Gorkamorka manage to keep the Orks occupied by having them compete to bring in the most scrap metal to rebuild the ship and get more tags (having a tag will allow an Ork passage on the ship once it's built, so naturally, the Orks think the more tags you have the more chance you'll have to leave the planet). | |

In No Man's Sky, you can find wrecked starships which you can claim as your own. They're all initially in very sorry states —not just with crucial systems critically damaged but also many inventory slots being clogged by various damaged systems— but by scrounging for resources you can eventually repair them into a state as good as new, probably even better than the starship you begin with. | |

One of V's allies in Cyberpunk 2077 did this in her youth, fixing up a junked fire truck by herself. Unfortunately, the local police refused to believe she repaired an entire truck on her own, and instead assumed she stole it, and subsequently locked her up in juvie. It's something she is still bitter about to this day, especially when none of the civil servants or law firms she contacts to represent her wrongful imprisonment suit seem to believe her story....but such is life in Night City. | |

The Star Trek: Voyager/Stargate Universe crossover "Destiny and Voyager: Crossroads" sees the crews of Destiny and Voyager join forces to get them both home after finding a wormhole linking the Milky Way galaxy in the Star Trek universe to the galaxy that Destiny is currently travelling through in its own universe. The final plan sees Destiny take both crews back to the Star Trek Earth (which is a journey of only a few months at Destiny's maximum speed where Voyager would still need over thirty years), the two crews conducting what repairs they can during the journey; Starfleet gives Destiny a more thorough repair job once it has arrived back on Earth. | |

In Titan A.E., after Cale is marooned on a drifter colony, he and Akima find an old ship integrated into the colony. Once Cale determines its engines are intact, they begin restoring it to flying condition so they can catch up with the rest of their crew, and prevent Korso from turning the Titan over to the Drej. | |

Downplayed in Treasure Planet: Battle at Procyon: During the sixth mission of the campaign mode, it's possible to find an unmanned ship if the player goes off the beaten path. It's noted to be unharmed, so all that's needed is to approach it and put a skeleton crew on it, upon which it's then added to the player's personal fleet. | |

Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers: Many of Gadget's vehicles and inventions are built from broken toys that have been thrown out or lost by their human owners. There are also a few specific examples: This is how the Ranger Plane came to be in "To the Rescue": After the Screaming Eagle is destroyed in a crash-landing in part 3, Gadget uses the wreckage to build both the sled the others use to catch up with Klordane, and the Ranger Plane itself (combined with other garbage from the local airfield/camp). The Gyrotank in "The Case of the Cola Cult" was built from the Gyromobile, which virtually fell apart after Bubbles sabotaged it. On several occasions both the Ranger Plane and Ranger Wing were rebuilt into another vehicle suiting the Rangers' immediate needs after being destroyed or damaged earlier in the episode. Because Status Quo Is God they're back to their original condition by the next episode. |

Gamma World adventure GW6 Alpha Factor. On Mindkeep Plateau there is a maintenance hanger that holds a derelict military ground car and some mechanic's tools. The car's battery is dead, it's out of fuel, and there are no keys. If the Player Characters can recharge the battery, find a source of fuel, and recover the keys, they can get the car running and drive it around. | |

Life Is Strange: Before the Storm has Chloe finding a rusted truck in the scrapyard. Naturally, it's the one she still drives three years later, in the main game, so her managing to fix it is already inevitable. She does so just in time to rush Rachel to hospital after she's stabbed. | |

In the Gravity Falls flashback episode Gravity Falls S2 E12 "A Tale of Two Stans", the young twins Stanley and Stanford discover a wrecked boat and being a years-long project of fixing it, dubbing it "Stan-o-War". They seem to come close to finishing it, too, before the fall-out happens. | |

Star Trek: The Next Generation: In the episode "Peak Performance", a team led by Riker are put in charge of the USS Hathaway, an eighty-year-old, semi-decommissioned starship for a battle simulation exercise. One of the first things they do is get the warp drive working again, at least for a brief hop, which the mediator of the exercise thought impossible. In "Relics", after losing contact with the Enterprise while working to recover the sensor logs from the wrecked USS Jenolan, Scotty and Geordi La Forge work quickly to get the ship flyable in order to find out what happened. |
