Saw their stand at the NEC today. The cars are worse in the flesh. I was embarrassed for them.

Surely not possible.

The paint on the Porsche was as flat as a witches tit. The stripes had over spray all over the place too. Not to mention the wires hanging everywhere inside. My particular favourite though, was the protruding wiper motor on the Bronco, which I assume is from the next series.

Just seen a promo on Quest - evidently there's a series starting on Quest in the first week of January.

Some genuinely ropey things going on based on the promo - including building an EV as well as some weird, multi-faceted, creation of what i think used to be a Toyota Supra.

Saw them while watching Kindig yesterday as well, in between packing boxes for house move.

And likewise, won't be watching Gobste either...... smile

I tried to ask about some of their plans and questioned the quality of their work but it seems I have been blocked on all the social networks. When you read the comments though, they must spend ages fabricating compliments.

They are far better at fabricating compliments than fabricating components.....

I just had an old episode on in the background,a rusty vw camper they bought in America,then proceded to spend $21,000 on a scoobie engine transplant that transformed it into a drag racer....that managed 0 to 75mph in 17 seconds.
What a joke

I started watching this first time round but only got a couple of episodes in before giving up.

However, channel hopping yesterday came across an episode with a grey 3 series.

Did they seriously sell that for £60,000?

What did I just watch?!

A 1300 Viva - wash it - waffle endlessly - make an exhaust - prattle on - coming next - recap - show about 1 minute of actual build - get a steering wheel - fit some seventies wheels (from the eighties) and sell for £12,000.


It has to be a parallel universe - a joke - satire - surely it can't be serious?


It makes Yanni look like Leonardo da Vinci and Jeremy Kyle like the Nuremberg trials.

The whole show is such a blatant lie.
They said what a bargain it was to pay £3k for such a rare car, even if it was a project car, yet £3k is the normal going rate for them.
The car had obviously been prepped to look like a basket case and looked like it was in great nick to start with. The exhaust was obviously a kit from Demand engineering and I think had minimal input from the 'artisans' at Goblin works ( https://www.instagram.com/p/B66VhaWArFT/ )
And then the usual 'buyer' who doesn't mind paying the most ridiculous amount of money with no questions asked.

I started watching the episode other day with the Porsche 944 Turbo but missed the last half, they were turning it into a trackday car and were looking to sell for something like £18k, did they sell it and for how much?
