Restoration Programs...
Discussion
Looking for some recommendations. Having watched the latest series of wheeler dealers with Elvis as the mechanic (I do like this show but don't love it - not a fan of Mike Brewer and everything outside of the actual workshop stuff feels awkward and badly scripted) ... in search for something simlar, I stumbled across Shed and Burried with Henry Cole and Sam Lovegrove. Same basic principle but I just really took a liking to the duo so having watched all of these I went down a Henry Cole rabbit hole and I've watched all the available episodes of The Motorbike Show, Junk and Disorderly and Find it, Fix It, Drive it. There's A LOT of Find it, Fix it, Flog it available but there's much less focus on automotive stuff on that show! The dynamic with Henry, Sam, Alan Millyard and Guy just feels really genuine and is good to watch as well as them finding old stuff and fixing it up.
So I think I've pretty much exhausted these shows now
Does anyone have any recommendations along this same kind of genre?

Salvage Hunters: classic cars is mostly good
Yeah I have seen that too. I was really into the standard salvage hunters for a while, but went off Drew Pritchard a bit. He makes out he's a classic car expert but I'm not so sure! I can get past that though and might line up a few series of that.
Some recommended YouTube channels:

It has to be YouTube for this kind of program(me).
TV needs to be too mainstream for the nerdy detail this kind of show demands.
Soup Classic Motoring needs everyone's support because I suspect he backed himself into a bit of a corner with his stop-go videos and they must cost a fortune to make, but they are hugely detailed. And they look great.
Edd China's Workshop
Smells Like Gasoline (French, but subtitled)
Even Tavarish has some content that isn't Gonzo.

Fantom Works.
American but incredible attention to detail.
I quite like that one actually. The main bloke is much nicer than is normal for that type of Amercian car show. To the extent that he seems oddly out of place to me for some reason. American but incredible attention to detail.
I think it's the guy in b
hin Rides that I have the most trouble with. I have to look away when he's on because of his creepy beard. Randy Winkman said:

Agreed. M539 Restorations is excellent, although all BMW content in case that isn't your thing. Salvage Rebuilds UK is decent, chap called Ronald Finger (Fingerprints Workshop) has some decent videos and his narration is pretty engaging too. There are plenty of others but those are the ones who come to mind right now.TV needs to be too mainstream for the nerdy detail this kind of show demands.

Iron Resurrection is decent.
While not totally car restoration, have you seen the ‘A (insert vehicle here) is Born’ series that Mark the mental vet did?
He builds / restores a car, bike, helicopter, trike in each series. They are probably about 20 years old now? But still a proper good watch.
ETA.
If you search A Car is Born on YouTube it will bring up the full series on the 6169Brooklyn channel. I’m sure you’d be able to find the others by searching for A Bike is Born, A Chopper is Born etc ….
