I remeber one they planned to do up a 4x4 got half way through doing bits on it and realised it was a cut and shut
so sold it for "off road use only" and the buyer was not real.

The one with the 205 is brilliant the thing was a nail and engine smoking like hell but , acording to Mike it was the clutch and gear linkage

BM08

Clutch and gear linkage seemed to stop the smoke completely though didnt it

And LMFAO at the rattle can paint jobs too. like on that capri they did.

24vcossiemat

it wasn't a cut and shut, it was just to rotten for them to spend more money welding it. they should have checked that first though really

All being said that Edd China seems a really cool guy and knows his stuff on TV although he might just be a really good actor ha

how do you know it was not a cut and shut.

Surly that would have seen it was too rotten before doing nearly all the work...

I couldn't believe that when they done the Capri. Ed spends hours making that wing and valance fit and then aerosols it!!! The finish was poor even on the telly !.

I like on the Mk1 MR2 programme where they happen accross a wing in a breakers that's the right colour etc. It's blatantly a brand new freshly sprayed wing.

matts1

I love how they make 200 quid out of a motor but neglect the fact they have had a mechanic on it for a week solid.

Great wheeler dealers!!

Yes that MR2 wing was funny as bollocks, remember think the same as you matt when I first saw it.

My fav was the lancia delta, it was sitting and not started once for 3 years or what ever it was, then as soon as hat ed cunt gets it going he starts to rev the fuck out of it, yeah thats what to do after its been a non runner for 3 year

haha, its just an entertaining TV show lol. but the cars are jokes. like when he finds that obviously brand new wing in the breakers yard and its obvious that they are resparyed and more is done to them than they make out. its like pimp my ride. they just get actors and the worst cars they can find then get like a new chassis and new bodypannels and say they just gave it a respray

That 205 one was bullshit, they couldn't sell it and the "buyer" was infact one of the production company's staff. Theres a thread on one of the pug forums about it where someone bought it and had loads to do to it still. I wonder how many are genuine buyers after all.

What i hate is when they have the bumpers off and can't even be bothered to clean up the bodywork behind them etc...

Its a bit of entertainment thats all and has to be taken with a pinch of salt.
One of the worst ones i've seen is the Porsche "track car"

Whats more amusing to me is if you watch the repeats of deals on wheels and wheeler dealers how old brewer gets fatter and fatter!

I don't think its too bad, its hardly a hard core restoration show, its a bit of light hearted entertainment.

That Edd China bloke owns a company called cummfy banana who makes those wacky cars out of sofas, bathtubs, office desks etc, he's fooking minted!!

Ahhhh! I never knew that, but he's on the end of one of the Clarkson DVDs (Head To Head I think), racing one of those "sofa cars" against some other whacky ones. Thought it was odd, lol!

Lee Reynolds

I dont mind watching it, but Mike is an irritating cunt and Ed Chinas hand movements when hes talking do my head in

And the Mr2, didnt they fill the back arch with jam
