Ed is a magician with cars. One of the best and most knowledgeable mechanics ever!

[@dapurmungil8852]

Everything looks so much easier with EDD. Fantastic man ever!

[@barbaraleuba6211]

Wheeler Dealer reminds me of Wind in the Willow's. Mike Brewer is Toad from Toad Hall. Edd with his grey, striped hair is Sensible Badger. What a great team😊

[@nolahahnshouse3389]

Beautiful content sir! Lovely job on the thing.

[@gregkiely4839]

Nice work. Good to see studs, and not bolts, for the wheels.

[@nickpapadatos5263]

Go Edward China more videos please ❤️🇦🇺👍

[@antonyross9957]

i put the electronic contact breakers i think they was called accuspark on my bedford rascal £35ish, it started on a pin and ran extra smooth !

[@progaragechinskiemotorki]

Nowy sezon będzie jeszcze? 😁 fani czterech kółek

Subtítulos, por favor!!!!. Saludos desde México

[@markdeartola1154]

2k for disc breaks!! Wow mine was $300 Also mine were EMPI😬

[@franciscoj.lopsan4940]

Saludos desde chiapas México, yo tengo un safari modelo 71 del mismo color.

[@petebradt]

I had Thing in the 70s and 80s. Very nostalgic.

[@headstonesandhistory]

Wish the disc brakes worked with stock wheels

[@TheTomco11]

Colourful past is one way of putting it 😂😂😂

[@garethjudd5840]

Now waiting for Mike to walk in and say, " It looks exactly the same. You haven't done anything" Ahhhhhhh!

[@uvuhi9867]

Where do you guys get your cars from

[@Excellentbug]

I actually had this problem... But a vacuum censor replacement fixed it

[@forevercomputing]

Copper grease on the back of the pads? Why not the contact points or just put that grease away?

[@luizcarlosgiovaniguimaraes864]

Porque não traduzem para o português?

[@jorgeomartirado2738]

Hi everyone! I got the same car. Where i can get a new windows for my car?

[@spencermorrow2899]

This guy should have never left

[@BigEightiesNewWave]

Solex carb there is your problem right there. Replace with a Weber.

[@TheRoadGlideRider]

Head on over the Edd's new channel for original content! Workshop Diaries!

[@MuaadElSharif]

Keep milking Edd. As he is the reason anyone watches the show.

[@davidgallop654]

Takes me back working on a trekkers great to drive and attention seeker ! Limited slip diff is great off road.

[@mazikkaluchka5562]

A little sloppy if you ask me... First thing to do is to change that old cracked belt... First priority is safety!... Costumer pays $5,000.00 dollars to get stranded as soon as you get out of the shop, but yes you got new braking system... woohooo, now call a tow truck!.. By the way, those front brake kits they're only $500.00 in California or all that job for less than a $1,000 dollars and much less in Mexico where you can get new bug parts!... Oh excuse they are made in " Germany ".. Sorry about you guys in Europe, we test parts in Baja for durability and they are made in Mexico...

[@frostybytes6835]

Are you guys scared that Edd has his own channel and it’s doing better than yours?

[@dmmllw4834]

Pls do toyota supra mk 4

[@sianwarwick633]

I think I have to play this on half speed to get to the point where I understand what's going on. Yikes, fast photography - get in there with a light, don't focus on the screwdriver !

[@jamesleakey247]

It's only when you know a vehicle well do you know that this work will never make a return. A simple engine tune up in the car and drum brake service would be better.

[@brendon-xt5fm]

panther car

[@allwinds3786]

Sorry but I owned a Thing and disc brakes are a waste on a car that only goes 65mph unless pushed over a cliff.

[@tapasbanu2719]

In Hindi language

[@dvorgur]

I dont know how they did when selling this... But 2k for a conversion... and then keeping the old rims talking about originality and not show the new brakes. Sounds rather stupid!?

[@sainath3687]

First 🤣

[@halkneeble7612]

Nice to see the show without guttersnipe Brewer - saves me the effort of skipping over his airtime.

[@miguelnoches7558]

you would never get the money out of that brake conversion on a flip. is ed's labor just free? why pull the engine for a basic tune up? how could he have not replaced the belt? this show just doesn't make sense

[@philipwalton4877]

Neither does this comment 😂

[@therealtea9786]

Not U Ed u seem fairly normal & nice compared to these lying schsiters😏

[@jasondurham407]

Repeat after me... ALOO-MI-NUM... aluminum not aluminium

[@kasperkjrsgaard1447]

Nope, no matter what they call it in the colonies, it’s correct name is Aluminium.
