More importantly - where was Paul? What has Phil the imposter done with him? And has Phil got a swanky number plate on his van like Paul does (did?). These are the questions that need answering!
Yes, that was a bit of twist in the plot. It has been Paul for year now, he should be OK he always seemed the strong silent type.
Indeed. I was playing the Tuesday night wd drinking game and I didn't know what to do! 2 fingers for Paul. How much for Phil?

Paul cone back!

Good episode. Think the sale was staged fairly well.
It's OK Paul was back this week, thank god he is ok

Phew. Phil mustn't have cut the mustard.

Another good episode. Seemed to be quite a lot more of Ed in it.

Yep, good to see Paul (and 28P) back again. Maybe Edd let him have a little holiday to say thanks for helping lift so much stuff and press brake pedals when required wink

I just cant watch it anymore...
there was no huge clouds of smoke, no glass thrown to the floor, no paintwork was removed using a grinder, replacement parts werent found in excellent condition under a load of st in someones barn, no one lost their temper and ran around swearing or slamming the workshop door................... and the car they finished with was actually the same car that they started working on..
JUST WHAT KIND OF CAR ENTHUSIASTS PROGRAMME IS THIS??

If only they didn't think they would make a deadline and then they did that would be fantastic viewing.

Loved this weeks car but couldn't help thinking the paint job looked a little Fisher Price if you know what I mean.

Maybe they should take a leaf out of Desert Car Kings book and auction the car at the end.

That is not a bad idea at all. Wonder if it will get taken on board, after all they are clearly PH users , if only the classifieds.

Really enjoyed the episode. Almost as good as their Fiat 500.

Would love to see Ed take on a complete ground up restoration of an Alfa Junior or similar. Perhaps an off-shoot over three episodes.

Ed China comes across well on TV and to be honest he could easily carry a complete restoration series in the style of those done by Mark Evans (A Car is Born). Evans was good because he was an enthusiastic amateur and we could all share his pasion for getting it done, whereas Ed has good knowledge of metal work, mechanics and restoration and would, I believe move it up the next level of interest.

I saw on Facebook a few days ago that Mike was in Japan at an auction, will be interesting to see what they're importing. (Please be an AE86 biggrin)

Great programme with the Isetta. The guy who did the steering wheel refurb reminded me in a way of a Benny Hill character.

Why didn't they refurb the gearstick at the same time?

One of the better episodes for sure...certainly with the last two they have redeemed themselves for the god awful Skyline.
