Well done, I remember this show & I was completely amazed at "how bad" these cars were...500 kg of bog on average per car & I recall wheel spacers that just could not be legal, engineered or safe. If I recall the massively wide aluminium machined wheel spacers were used on an XJ12! (P.S. Wheel spacers I believe are illegal here in Australia)

They were more sculptures than cars... I have to say, I found that Porsche to muscle car transformation visually appealing. That said, I'm not surprised to hear the word "death trap" with these cars. Making cars heavier without improving suspension and breaks is definitively not a good idea.

Further to the tweet shown, I recall (hopefully correctly) Johnny Vegas expanded on it to say he wasn't paid for being on the show, but the incentive was to be presented with a customised car at the end of filming. I believe he stated it broke down when he drove it away and the production team didn't want to know. He also said something along the lines of 'the best acting he ever did was to pretend to be pleased when he saw the friggin' thing!'

The Saab 'gangster car' they did for Martin Kemp was purchased by the organiser of VW Action, annual VW show held at Santa Pod. Show goers were invited to write messages on it, or hit it with various implements for a donation to Brad's (a teenage cancer charity). And then the car met its end by being crushed by Podzilla, Santa Pod's monster truck. Having inspected the car close up, I can tell you that quality of workmanship was atrocious. And there was no way that should have ever been on the road. At least it was used to raise money for a good cause before it was put out of its misery.

having seen both programmes, i'd say that since Leepu's experience was mostly building bangers in (anything goes) India, he wasn't really qualified/skilled enough to factor in UK/EU safety regs in some of his builds. Bernie was right to have a go at him over some of Leepu's ideas & fabrication work. Heck, i recall Martin Kemp's "special" was also close to being a death-trap before the "big reveal". (You could see it in Martin's face in the partially completed phase).

Great video again. I'd forgotten all about that terrible programme, maybe I'd just blanked it out. Bernie always in a make-believe bad mood, Leepu building cars similar to that advert where they used an elephant to re-model a Peugeot or something like. I remember one episode when the garage had supposedly burnt down and Leepu was pretending to cry, absolute crap. I bet whoever supplied them with body filler took a kicking when that show finished, they would have bought it by the ton!

Seem to remember the fun and games that the bodyshop had when they were building Jet1. Mr Holland told them that it should have been a Rover P4 75 from about 1950, rather than the later updated P4 with the bigger boot. The folk were not very complimentary about any of the Rovers used, I think they might of ruined maybe 3. The English geezer was always in a bad mood, shouting at Leepu. Didn't he later appear on another show, where you could hear him shout "Mario!" I almost wept at the sight of wasted P4s left for scrap when you consider they were considered quality cars at the time.

all those chop shop/ classic rescue type programs with Bernie were terrible. every one had similar outcomes, bernie would tap up some old mates for bits, and use old school bodge methods, there would then be a calamity, and a load of shouting, some sackings, or walkouts.....the project would look unfinishable, but then somehow it got finished. then a so called expert would judge the car to be worth a huge amount and they would celebrate with a handsome 'profit' i recall an episode where an MGbGT was wheeled in, and it had a sunroof.... but it was so rotten, they brought in a second car and restored that, but that didn't have a sunroof... so there was a quick scene where a guy was welding on a flat sheet of steel to the huge hole in the curved roof where the sunroof had been... and of course it looked great at the end... but it was clearly another car. hilarious... but those programs are just that. 'entertainment' as it says in the credits. its in no way a representation of the industry.

Leepu spat the dummy out because he wanted to "design his own car" when Jooles Holland wanted a replica of Jet 1.! Customer is always right springs to mind.! 😉 😉

Kinda lame that they didn't go the whole hog for Jools and find a working gas turbine engine to put in the Jet 1 replica. The funny thing is, it would actually be the more environmentally-friendly powertrain option swap in some ways, as gas turbines can run on sustainable fuel without needing any modifications!

Nice idea but I will say... went to Le Mans Classic a few years ago and there was a later gas turbine car entered. It seemed to do about 1 lap every hour or so, don't think it was that reliable...

I tried watching one episode of Chop Shop and wanted to kick the TV in, they built a Capri for some sports guy, went to the scrappy for an engine, shouty bald guy found a 3.5 Rover V8 and claimed it was 200 bhp, , got the thing done with stupid gullwing doors etc, guy came to collect it and he couldn't fit in it lol.
