Sounds like Junkyard Wars, but with a timeframe more conducive to building stuff that will work.
There was a kilted guy on Junkyard Wars years ago. I couldn't place his accent, but he wore something like s Skilt and had a goatee that went halfway to his navel and a mohawk...blue if memory serves.
I miss Canadian TV...especially Red Greene being on four times a day. When I was a kid we could pick up one station from Seattle part of the time and two Canadian stations pretty much all the time.
The grass is greener on the other side of the fence...and it's usually greenest right above the septic tank.
