Aye the cue ball can watch or maybe some 3 way action

[hotrodholty]

iv watched all of these programmes and to be honest so far as the mechanic's go this one is by far far far the best one they've built, no 8" wheels spacers or cut down springs, i bet it'll drive alright, gaz shocks, rv8, 5speed manual, wide steels, im just wondering how much they can fook up the lines of the car the way they always do.

the mechanic who built the motor needs a slap, 1 good caining and it blew its head gaskets

[cisco24uk]

At least it's better than 'the garage' I hate the computer generated pics where they tell you how a crankshaft works, lets face it most people who watch these shows know within a little what is going on.

[lee_capri]

i think they need my expertisse to fit v8's bunch of cowboy's,i could have fitted that in a hour box as well the rad look way to small for the v8 look's like a standed rad form what i can see,

 

and that's fot the cappa im not sure i like it and door's what a s*it idea look good on a lambo,

 

the only thing i did like was the bonnet

[morcheen]

i'd guessed that they didn't do the filler/paint work,imagine how shit it would look if they did ?

[mk2dk]

I hate this show makes me angry

[Noodles]

I think so far its a good build As for paint and filler work how many of us do it I dont I know my limits

[Copey]

bonnet yes, wheels yes, engine yes(better if it was a ford 302 but hey) front wings yes(just) lambo doors noooo, and rear end just...what the fook???

[evil knievel]

in my opinion a normal capri looks much better than that! they've ruined the lines!!

 

and lambo doors?? fook off mate!

 

 

the engine choice could've been better, but those wheels are just LOVELY!

[5.0S-teve]

Well, I must say, what aload of S**TE

 

Watched chop-shop in the hope the capper would'nt be ruined, but sadly not the case.

They made a nice job of making the engine look good, shame they knew naff-all about making it run right!! no use of ARP bolts or uprated gaskets, which considering the V8 had been tuned would have been a wise investment even I had the sense to use these items in my RV8 when I built that and I was only 18 at the time.

There's no LSD in it either, they made a big fuss about the fact of putting the V8 in, like it hard work, bloody hell i've got a ford 302 in mine and all works done out on driveway

 

I will watch the next episode, to see if they learn from they're mistakes.

 

Rant over,
