I loved this episode. Always wanted a capri laser 1.6. I used to love these old episodes, it used to be about flipping cars on a budget. It showed what a home mechanic was capable of.
@Toby_the_Glen Жыл бұрын
Flipping cars is a way KZbin describes 'car dealing' as a hobby? Because "it's just for fun" right, HMRC don't need to know. "I only sell a few, I'm not a proper trader". "Its not about the money" "I'm helping people out?" - yeah right!

You know guys, it is actually possible to like Edd and also like Ant. Doesn’t need to be a contest. Edd did a great job for many years. Then he left WD and now Ant does a great job on WD. Simple as that.

People mainly don't like the dumbing down / erasing of technical detail which came after Edd left. And the fact it was forced by the new producers. Massive respect to Edd for his principles. No replacement was ever going to cut it really when that's what the role had become. You can thank the Yanks for it, they see something they like, buy it and ruin it by adding stupid.
@jkk2443 жыл бұрын
olixbob Sounds like you quit watching WD after Edd left. Ant really does follow Edd’s example and explains and demonstrates plenty of technical details through his work on the show. As for the move from the UK to the US, there is only so much interest in working on rust issues with cars from the UK. The US cars on the show are typically rust-free so the focus is on many other facets of refurbishing the cars.
@Snarl6163 жыл бұрын
Most of the ones who criticize WD with Ant are people that know nothing about mechanics or didn't even watch the episode. People must understand that WD now takes some mechanical works for granted, as they were treated so many times in the past and/or you can easily watch youtube videos to do them.

I like Ant, but he is "just" a mechanic trying to talk cultured, Edd is a cultured man talking about mechanics. Nothing wrong with being a simple mechanic but Edd's speech is wonderfully articulated. Should the Queen ever talk about cars, she would sound like Edd.

olixbob Well, that was the rational Edd gave for the breakup, and perhaps things were headed that way. It looks as though the production took Edd’s criticism to heart, because Ant’s work and technical presentations and explanations are very similar to those of Edd.

I know this was to show how to remove and replace a fender but in all accounts that rust was repairable with just a patch and didn't need the entire fender to be removed. It may have been a different scenario if the fender was bolt-on part but these welded ones are easier repaired if possible. I'm certain there are ready-made patches as these all rust in the same place. Good instruction though.
@jaggass10 ай бұрын
The wings could have holes in them under those rust bubbles. Repairable but quicker to replace them with new ones instead of cutting out the rust, making new patches then welding them.

Ed is so young looking here. We watched him mature and grow in confidence presenting too. The show had a lovely simple fix it in your back yard approach here back In the early 00s too showing all the detail. I'm sorry but the new shows just skip all the interesting bits and it's just not British anymore being filmed in the USA. Ant is good in his own way but his hard man image with those big boots and act with Mike Brewer is just not then same as Ed's modest gentlemanly nature and genuine passion for cars. Notice too Ed's good manners as he for 13 years always addressed Mike Brewer as Sir!
@Snarl616 Жыл бұрын
I agree with what you say, but blame EVERYTHING on the dialogue scripters, who needlessly complicated the actors more and more. In the earliest WD seasons, when everything was much simpler, Mike was an encouraging storyteller of the car, and the mechanic was always enthusiast about the car Mike brought. In the last Edd season you can see Edd whine and complain too much about "too much work", and Mike is depicted in a cringy way, almost dorky, sometimes. About Ant: Ant is underestimated. Maybe his episodes were a bit more about fabricating than mechanics, but the work he did with the Toyota Celica is excellent, just to name the first.

I like the work of Edd. But, in Germany you can`t fix a wing like this way. You loose a lot of money, when the dealer find some plastic on a metal wing. Better use a metal of the tube. They can`t find it and it`s stronger! HU-HA... .

This was the early days when the main object was to buy a car and make a profit by improving it as much as feasibly possible within a tight budget. There is no point spending £2000 on a car that will only be worth £1500 when it is finished. The idea was buy cheap, spend as little as possible, invest some time and make a small, but reasonable profit.
