The thing with the BBS rims is, they were useless for what they were doing - putting something back to original doesn't mean adding or keeping someone elses afterthought.

It also shows that if you look hard enough, you can find rare parts that you'd otherwise give up on. They're not aiming for concourse, as they have a limited budget - from what I've seen, bufty's have an endless supply of cash that goes on pristine shrinkwrapped spares, and polish - these guys don't have that. They aim to buy a car, tidy it up (make it more presentable), and sell it on, for a profit or a small deficit.

I like watching it - the mechanic, Ed, has given me an insight (not necessarily a step by step How To) of how my Cossie was put back together. And TCA bushes on the Capri? I've never done anything like that, and he made it look easy enough to do that I thought "I can do that!"
