Who enjoyed wheeler dealers?

[Joe-ashtonmobile]

Who enjoyed it then??

We went to look at the car last week, after talking with max what he wanted to do, we went over today to take the engine out and give it the engine the car deserves

[fiesta-mk1]

I am watching it now mate

[frankthefencer]

Surprised he has the money after giving 11.5k for that!!!

[DAZZA]

What's the plans.....

[l4ndymac]

I agree it did seem a lot of money, love the colour though, i used to have mk 2 that colour, erm 18 years ago !! . Should of put quarter front bumpers on though, i thought .

[wild pete]

seems to me there must have been a lot they didnt show , are you telling me there wasnt any welding needed doing underneath !

[thrashermax]

No welding required underneath. It's really strong. They didn't say it's a one previous owner car with only 40k miles.

Ashton mobile screaming 1700cc xflow with twin 40s.

The paint job cost £3,500, they didn't show that bill!

[Col-ashtonmobile]

Looked underneath the car today and not a bit of rot , i,ve seen more crust and scabs on a 90,s mk6 escort

you,ll have a job finding one in this condition

[marky4]

and it will be even better with its new engine

£1850 for paint and wing - which they stated at £120 each so leaves £1610

 

[sidpf1972]

im confused now where can you buy mex wings for £120

[w p e]

lets face it if they don't no the the difference between a ATB and a LSD what chance do the public have being guided by watching that crap .

and saying the diffs now ready to go back in with the bearing retainer locking clamps missing realy says a lot . fook im glad i know what im doing

[Posse]

What I thought was mad is that he changed the front legs over and left them worn throw away control arms on

[w p e]

i would have thought bouncing around a farmers field for most of its life would warrent new bushes all round and going by the state of the tca's and rollbar bushes it MUST have been sold with NO MOT

The original seller of the "Brown" MKI Escort as featured on Wheeler Dealers has put an answer on his current Ebay ad for a car he selling regarding the MKI Escort - and at that selling price I bet he not worried about bouncing another one around a field as well !!

There was many things on this car that wasn't shown on the show, it has all been polybushed etc, don't think they could squeeze a full resto into a hour show

[marky4]

Maybe they should have made this a 2 parter and gone into more details

maybe so but to the joe public as far as they see all the old stuff was put back on and not mentioned in the budget so what you see is what you get

if the buyers happy then alls good just hope the bearing retainer clamps were put on the diff

that sort of thing it needs addressing

[popeye]

show was ok, but they should have shown more of the rebuild .

[BIG G]

Does it really matter that much what cost what and if this or that was shown to me it's still a bloody Datsun painted in in fooked kidney yellow

I don't take any of these programmes seriously, if you believe that a series

 

of at least 10 programmes costing millions is left to any sort of chance ,lucky

 

finds on ebay, punters with cash on the hip,etc etc, you must be very Green.

 

They are all 'set up' well in advance .
