So became is the verb and the gerund phrase, restoring old cars, is receiving all of the action. So what does that?
OpenStudy (king.void.):
A?

OpenStudy (tjbrew):
A direct object is a noun or pronoun that receives the action of a verb or shows the result of the action. It answers the question "What?" or "Whom?" after an action verb. An action verb with a direct object is called a transitive verb. The direct objects on this page are italicized.
