"Ugly duckling"? "eye sore"? Daft Sods.

I thought the same.

Though when you looked at it before the new chrome, wheels, and removal of those window tints it just didn't look right. I like what they did with it , kept it simple and in keeping with the original, its a car I'd be more than happy driving around.

When you consider the Pacer they did, seems a cheek to rip those mods..

Nice car. Terrible colour. Needed to be a deep metallic red or black. Orange just didn't suit it.

[irocfan]

liked the finished product a lot... ok orange could have been swapped out for candy apple red or some sort of plum/purple but over-all I'd be happy

[BigBen]

Not happy that the drilling for the door mods did not include putting a bit of paint round the bare metal on the holes.

yeah noticed that, assumed it went on later - this was just a 'dry run' to ensure everything worked.

really enjoyed the whole engine refurb bit though

Did I miss how he got the required 8 volts to work the door openers when he fitted them to the car?

Removed the OEM 6 Volt battery and replaced it with an 8 Volt battery - they just didn't show you that bit.

That was pretty much implied, he mentioned that the 8V would not damage the rest of the electrics.

It was nice to know that Ed quite like the shaven look

Yeah the pacer was a mess, they'd have been better off doing a bit of old school WD on that car and selling it on (much like the did with the Golf I mentioned above).

Anyone remember the VW Golf GTi they did in Series 1?

Once they did it up, it looked like this: https://youtu.be/A5sLFUbMY44?t=1185



But now looks like this: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/golf-mk1-gti-restoration...

Well, Series 1 was first aired almost 12 years ago (I know. Scary!). But even so, that's a sad looking car now.

I think we should start a campaign to get Mike and Edd to restore it again!
