Car resto/ custom TV programmes.

The white early bay restored in 2014 by car sos is still sat 5 minutes away from me.
Sat uncovered beside the house in all weather at the back of a drive blocked in by several other classics. It’s apparently never moved for years judging by the flat tyres of the cars blocking it.
I’m curious to see how it’s fared, but you can’t see enough from driving by.

I was at an mot station and a the Nissan skyline they did came in, looked like it’s been sat on a drive 10 years too, still looked pretty good , if you bought a new car and sat it for 10 years it wound rusty

Not according to the hot rod shop that had to do a lot of work on the Ford pop rod they built, saying that its not the sort of thing they are used to custom fabricating parts. Watch Bad Chad on You tube if you want to learn about body work.

In what way, I can pick holes in almost anything but they aren’t suggesting they are building concours cars just very good ones

If you want to see some real quality work then watch the Hayburner TV series on You Tube where they project managed a split bus build for Ewan McGregor. Superb work.

Unlimited budget and time is a unicorn in the car world , it’s no surprise that the unicorn is better than the majority

They had to redo the front suspension and steering as it was "undrivable" ,looks like they got the axle set up wrong but then you do need to know how to scratch build so it is correct. I bought a camber/castor gauge to set the suspension on my hot rod Austin A40 as it has air ride.

That’s minor details really , snagging list stuff
