Desperately trying to remember the name of a show a couple of years ago - it was quite low budget and on a smaller channel - maybe 5 Star or something satellite-y. It was 2 guys who had jacked in their day jobs and started a garage buying cheap interesting classics/modern classics, fixing them up, and selling them on for a small profit. It was a bit like Wheeler Dealers in its early days, quite innocent and without pretence. I really liked it - there were a few little clips on YouTube but no full episodes.

Can anybody remember the name of the show? One guy was bald with a beard and they always did this big 2 minute intro about the background of the show and how scary it was!

No it wasn’t that - it was quite traditional in some ways. Neither of the guys on it had been on anything else or were presenters (or I think mechanics!). It’s what made it quite interesting!

Just scraped a Alfa after spending days fixing to only throw away and not dismantle for parts

Complete waste

I quite liked Flipping Bangers, despite some weird/shonky things they did. Remember them scapping the rotten Alfa 155 with freshly refurbed wheels instead of just breaking it for parts (!?), and rattlecan painting one wheel of the TT with it still on the car hehe
