im watching an old chop shop on real time, just watching what thier doing to get a 2.0 mondeo engine in it, they've chopped the car to pieces trying to get an engine in which would fit with different mounts and inlet (just like rs1800 etc)

 

what are they putting the engine in?

 

oh sorry, just an xr2i, pretty straight forward

 

I saw that a while back, dont they claim itll do 170mph aswell lol

 

yeah i watched it the first time around, what a pile of shiiite it turned out to be

 

Is that the monstrosity that tey put the entire rear end of a Mondeo onto aswell?

 

Yeh.

I could do better with a spatula and a spoon!

That "lee-poo" guy knows how to handle his tools and stuff but he needs to leave his designs in india!

What a joke the front wheels were at some angle fookin numptys

 

Your clearly wrong "Bernie & Lee-Poo" said it will assist in the handling so it must do, as they are the dogs danglies!*

Tim

*Might not be true.

 

I thought the same.. made hard work out of a relatively easy conversion...
I will get the chance to tell them this afternoon as we are filming again with them in the chop shop...

 

the programme is only on tv because of their explosive relationship, its just another nail in the coffin of TV, because it proves that talentless producers will make anything.

 

anyone seen "the garage" from malta?

FFS! its a two bit spanner shop with a big mouthed scott (called jock actually) shouting at his staff and generally being a hot head.

if it weren't for him you might as well just broadcast an mot in real time on TV

 

The garage is in Marbella, not Malta lol

 

i'll take one of these

same thing though, still shite!

 

i like american hot rod and them type ones, cars having some proper work done, love hot rods

 

amercian hot rod is old tho and codinton is dead now aint he and most the workers work 4 chip foose, but i do like watching it and over hauling is the bee's knees

 

Chop shop is shite... just another typical british reality show which is embarassing. I mean, look at the yanks, they get overhauling with some proper resto work being done utilising some top notch engineering worked out to the mm, and we get chop shop..that clown lee poo runs his hand over a panel, gets his hammer and cutter out and butchers a car. Just look at the fitment and welding.. I wouldnt like to wash one of those cars as the panels must flex like a Bstard. The yanks get that ultimate makeover program where that loud mouth yank tears down some persons house and builds them up something amazing full with top of the range gear..what do we get, some dozy twat wearing big cuffs on his shirt covering the gaff in MDF..if they spend Ł100 ill eat my hat. The yanks must come over here and watch our tv and laugh.

 

They should make a TV series with Reyland.

Benni.

 

i know hat you mean about these programs !! ive got into the one called "overhaul" really like this one and that chip foose really seems to know what he is doing !!

Benni.
