Edd Finishes “The Best Car He’s Ever Built” I Wheeler Dealers

[@elit3401]

As always, Ed's hard work really shows. Great looking car ! Love your passion for fixing cars. Keep up the good work !

[@ChazzC]

Edd’s tip about making a frame with tape, then filling it in would have saved me a lot of frustration many years ago when I was repairing the rocker panels and a rear fender on my 1975 Camero!

[@rb67mustang]

7:02, The MG looks like its new again. The refinished wheels look great as well, but a new set of lug nuts should've been used instead or the rusty originals.

[@erikvonstaphatesignorance4805]

I wish after all his hard work Ed would have replaced those rusty lug nuts…

[@TheOmerkhanchi]

Came to the comments section looking if anyone else noticed lol

[@DrPangloss]

No centre caps either.

[@diego646464]

I was going to write just that !!! 😉

[@ronjones1414]

My exact thought!

[@jwray9799]

Mike is to CHEAP. after all he's a USED CAR DEALER... And it SHOWS!

[@robewalk2]

Your right Mal Barker, I just finished watching and saw those old rusty colored tire lug nuts back on without a hint of cleaning and possibly painting.

[@rollyae82]

Paint looks great, all the details engine bay and components look utterly shit...

[@sandhillschapel7633]

I would have either cleaned up or replaced the lug nuts.

[@rogerwatt8491]

. . . and found some MG wheel centre badges.

[@onastick2411]

You have to remember, they were doing up a car to make a profit, that was the idea of the show, and in the early days, they were looking at it from the perspective of an amateur mechanic. So no they didn't do the bright work, or the engine bay, they did what was necessary to flip a not to rare car, for some profit.

[@derekbelton9384]

Why would you not replace the wheel nuts? Where are the wheel centre caps & the roof aerial?

[@dchassocks]

Untaxed for last 11 years, all that work!

[@gooondie]

The one thing that kills me with this episode is the grimy brightwork that get bolted back onto the car

[@bobfellows5758]

It would cost too much to re chrome, and all profit would be lost

[@gooondie]

@@bobfellows5758 yeah I understand that. It just sucks because it really lets the car down

[@hillbillymal9351]

Shame you didn't clean the wheel nuts

[@tomsonfire3740]

this is like a 20 yr old episode. They're not giving 2 shits right now

[@tomsonfire3740]

Edds newspaper trick is as old as having newspaper with your chippy tea

[@AdrianBellVoiceovers]

No one noticed the headlight surround on the fender (wing) not at all ready for paint? Open rusty blisters at 2:47. Crazy

[@geoffgreenhalgh3553]

I noticed.

[@LordTwaddle]

Always a problem with these older episodes was they would blow the budget on one big job like the paint, then it’s always such a shame when they put grotty components like those pitted chrome window trims and those terrible wheel nuts back onto the car.

[@geoffgreenhalgh3553]

Those wheel nuts are a joke!

[@stretchclogg]

Was just thinking the same.

[@tomsonfire3740]

"was they would' just doesn't make sense lad

[@jamesterrill1938]

Ed always has a great video as long as Mike is not in it..

[@cmeonthemove]

That's why his own Workshop Diaries are worth watching (and the reason this site always uploads an Edd video on a Friday, even though they kicked him off the programme years ago).

[@Snarl616]

In the early seasons Mike gave you great tips about how to sell your car and/or buy one.

[@roberthartmaier6643]

He put the side light/indicator assemblies on backwards!

[@RonnKilby]

Note misalignment of bonnet/badge at 6:31.

[@danilfoveanu]

I was hoping not to see Brewer 🤨 otherwise, the job was just perfect 👍

[@carlprendergast3827]

Superb, shame about the ancient rusty wheel nuts, but beautiful motor.

[@JohnHewitt-o9f]

Why didn't you replace the rusty wheel nuts??

[@54mgtf22]

Young Edd is so cute. 👍

[@robertbeirne9813]

Nice job on the wheels… now, about those lug nuts.

[@hanskurzen]

Only £1,000 for a respray ?. Where was it done please ?. Thanks.

[@kougerat5388]

I'd say more like when was it done ? I just checked it was first aired in 2004 ! no wonder the respray was only a grand, mind you 20 years ago even a grand would have been cheap! I had a Triumph TR7 resprayed by a very cheap garage back around 1992 and they charged me £800 I remember most garages wanted well over £1000 and that was over 30 years ago. Mike must be getting trade rates.

[@gymshoe8862]

He re-installed rusty lug nuts!! Egad!

[@davespears2241]

I would have polished the wheel nuts.

[@avnihooven4761]

Gulivers in giantland?

[@railmaster.7752]

The trafficators / parking lights are upside down, the parking lights should face outwards.

[@danielmorris6523]

"Tupac" paint is the best....

[@AAAAlberto]

Edd ! # 1!

[@Gandalf606]

Ed China WAS Wheeler Dealers for me. Loved his gentle personality and thoughtful commentary. Stopped watching after he left.

[@donwest5387]

the other half was the "mouth"

[@buckwheatINtheCity]

We're living in an era where rust is called patina.

[@bmstylee]

Patina: an old English word for cheap and lazy.

[@cameronwallis7024]

Why didn’t they refurbish those wheel nuts also?

[@diegobonora7337]

Ciao e un piacere guardarti ...non mi stanco 🤗🤗

[@donwest5387]

Haven't seen too many paint jobs!

[@donwest5387]

it's an mgb

[@mastersteel1079]

Hello Edd😁😁

[@caseyspeer8179]

Been watching you guys for years but you guys put new wheels on a car but use the old rusted lug nuts you guys could upgrade it to New lug nuts lol

[@donwest5387]

put some vintage cosmics on it

[@Iowa599]

It looks good, except the lug nuts!

[@Robert_Hillier_Clark]

Should have stayed with the blaze, when repainted it would looked as good if not better, plus the interior of boot and engine could have been cleaned up and would have matched perfectly. Comments re lug nuts have already been correct made.

[@davidwaterhouse2552]

'Moisture' also has a habit of getting everywhere, resulting in 'ROT'! I think I would have put new chromed nuts on the refurbished wheels, or better still gone for 'minilite ' alloys ! dx

[@donwest5387]

quick over-spray🤨.

[@Pilarparkinson]

all that work and they put the wheels back on with rusty nuts and no wheel centre caps

[@brianbloom1799]

EDD the Car Came out Great Like alway,s 1 Thing is Wrong, Why didnt you put new lug nuts.

[@peterhallock9486]

No radiator paint, rusty lug nuts etc! 👎

[@davebarrowcliffe1289]

Cellulose was better. Change my mind...

[@danielmorris6523]

Those wheel nuts though... why go to all that effort on the rest of the car to use those rusty wheel nuts. Buy a set for a tenner and it would make a big difference.

[@TC-qd1zw]

To expensive for new wheel nuts?

[@scotireland3087]

Nice job but not a fan of red. Red belongs to the Italian prancing horse and Brittish racing green belongs to classic Brittish cars.

[@simaile69]

all that work and you don't paint or polish the lug nuts

[@donwest5387]

sentimentality has the best of you. Try a WRX

[@avnihooven4761]

Cherry red people of eden

[@timread8448]

Erm good vid..but cost.... so no labour cost... Yes I know a gifted amateur could do it, but unless you wanted it to sit in your garage for years whilst you sorted it whilst actually working for a living the cost is unrealistic....

[@avnihooven4761]

Yes usa people want sweet sugar reds to us a

[@johnwilder8517]

Ha, I thought the same thing. jw

[@chrisbryant6408]

All that work and they reused the rusty old lug nuts

[@perrywest8316]

All that work and you couldn't spend a few more quid for new lug nuts🤦

[@davebarrowcliffe1289]

Those rusty wheel nuts look shiiite! 😂

[@avnihooven4761]

Funny little sugar evils reds as little funny joy kids

[@englishtothebone1]

£100 to fit an mgb gt windscreen. Too cheap.

[@julianlord2697]

Put the wheels on with rusty nuts and no centres, amateur mistake

[@franktaylor7617]

😎👍

[@colinjohnpack3105]
