Didn’t realise this was a 3hr+ vid, started watching Sunday tea time, mrs went out, had a little doze for 20 or so & still loads left to watch, did the whole lot in one session with a pit stop for beef monster munch & a cuppa at 2hrs. Loved all of these builds and the quicker makeovers. Keep the content coming. I prefer these over the big mega budget super car rebuild knob waving channels.

Gentlemen. That was an absolute pleasure to watch. I am 61 years old and was lucky enough to go to Wood Green High school in Wednesbury. I say lucky because we had lessons in car mechanics.. I left school in 1980 and got myself on a government YOP scheme as a tyrefitter. I then went on to work in the electronics industry for a decade. Then various technical jobs. I always wish I had followed my passion for cars. I thoroughly enjoyed every second of this video. It's great to see people with such passion and skill. Keep up the good work guys.wish you every success. Thanks for sharing

Or, “How to build a Mk 1 Escort from scratch”. There can’t be much of the original shell left! Great work

Your'e both very brave, and I'm so glad you are saving a MK1 2 door Escort. Should be worth a ton when finished.

You guys smashed it out the park. What a stunning example. I hope the owner drives it instead of putting it in a glass box. I'd love to see that beauty on the road ideally with my 8 and 11 year old sons in car so they could share my enthusiasm. Painstaking beautiful engineering. You deserve to do well guys. Next level talent. <br><br>The episode was quite long but that not a criticism. So impressed. <br><br>Pure art. Good luck.
