        Was very surprised that edd didn't show changing the tca's as they were obviously shot!
        Didn't show any prep for the paint job, which included the engine bay after servo fitted? Sure would have drilled holes for lamp brackets before painting as we'll?

        Looked a tidy car when done but what they showed of the underside looked untidy and needed tidying to justify the price IMO.

        I like the shows, it's interesting seeing how much better edds workshop & equipment have improved as the series have progressed, they are starting to get away from the original concept of doing affordable cars though, used to be much lower budgets.

              Just watched on the link and quite enjoyed it.
              As for prices mentioned, it's only telly and there is the possibility they were all made up! Did the bloke really pay 11-8 for it?

                                I thought the program was great for what it is...Entertainment.

                                Ed China the strait man, Mike the chirpy ****ney wheelah dealing geeza. Getting a car doing it up and selling it on for some profit what's not to like? Both Ed and Mike are experts in their chosen careers, and both work well together on the telly.

                                I've never seen engineering blue used on the telly before, well done Ed for explaining a LSD rebuild and not saying it is easy to do.

                                Yeah I would loved to see how the door was repaired and the car painted and some more info on the wing change but that would take up too much time..

                                Maybe we need a 'Rallye Sport Escorts You Tube' channel showing all the common resto/service work? Media has changed if you think you can do a better job entertaining or more importantly sharing knowledge then post a video and a link to here (of course subject to Mr Custom's approval).
