I'm just watching this episode on the TV for the umpteenth time.
It never ceases to amaze me how Ed fixes a car. Take their current issue. The fuel system not working. I took on classic cars and kept old ones going and looking back now I can't remember things going to plan.
I'd put out a head for overhaul...the overhauler says his too busy and I have to wait two months....I take it in when he says....sorry he says one of my blokes is off because his daughter's had a mis-carridge and he can't miss other contracts....you'll have to go to someone else.
I'd diagnose a defective sender....new ones wouldn't be available.
I'd diagnose a leaky fuel tank....I'd give it to someone, pay £1500 for the repair....then it would still leak and the company's gone out of business.
I'd put it all back together....and it would sort of work....then I'd work on something else and come back to it and it wouldn't work at all. ''But I haven't done anything to it!'' I'd shout.
Giving up cars was the best thing I ever did. I have a firms car now, I don't even chainge a puncture.
Cars can be an addiction like anything else. But as long as you stay withing your means, be it financially, but also emotionally and spare time.
Edd was the Brains behind the old show, I hope things work out for him.
AvionicsGuru i like him better than Ant, seems to know more and adds in examples/explains better
I agree, Edd China was the best mechanic on Wheeler Dealers. Mike Brewer should go back to his paper route or be car salesman, they're a dime a dozen.
Thats True both of the springs must be replaced
My buddy and I are working on a 73 1800es...minus the fuel injection, someone had already swapped it over to a Weber years ago...
may be in England it is surface rust, if the spring snapped like that ,that is a rot ,and while you are at it why not change the stabilizer bar bushing that are dry and cracked!
Not always the case with springs, Ive found snapped springs on cars less than 10 years old with no corrosion.
Can’t beat fresh suspension
not even taking the time to get rid of the rust with a brush...very smart!
Lovely car ❤️
Saludos desde México 🇲🇽 me parecen muy buenos días videos muy ilustrativos tampoco me pierdo su programa en la TV
Looking on Ebay these cars are for sale for 30k now.
Was the heat treat compromised? Does that cross member need to be annealed?
Atleast get a heavy dose of waxoil into it, or it will rot out, as the heat has burned out all previous protection.
When mazda MX-3 will appears at wheeler dealers?
Just painting over rust does not solve the problem.
Broken spring... that was probably why Mike was "bowled over by the driving experience".
such fantastic car need a real restauration, not only a bit cosmetic: need to disassembly both axles for de-rust and serious repaint!
its now a 50k car why sell it for 8K?
Di tunggu subtitel bahasa indonesia nya ?
5:33 that volvo engine looks like a ford xflow 1600 to me
thanks. Good to know.
It is not a crossflow,and its not a Ford engine, it's a volvo B18.
Volvo B-series is a lot like a large Ford Kent. Source; I've owned two classic Volvos and many English small Fords.
While he had it all apart he should have cleaned and painted the suspension parts ;-)
These cars will never sell for 5k, plus if you get one for good price, you will renovate it completely.
If only you could pick up a p1800 for 5 grand nowadays
When "sending a car to China" is the best thing for it...
What's going on ? Wheeler dealers is getting out old Edd videos to get some audience ? I can honestly and sincerely say that I have not watched WD since Edd Left except One episode in case of a good surprise... Its has become a show for Americans, if that ...
Ridiculous segment, the repair costs don’t include labor costs= meaningless.
Horrible fixing!!!
Poor car. I Think its worth Moore work to look nice. Love old Volvos
Don't paint it, Dinitrol it.
WD's appeal has really tanked. Why would they put a Hemi in an old Barracuda to build a drag car? The premise of the show is to buy a car, repair/upgrade, and then sell it. Hopefully making a profit. The old WD, before it was "made in USA" was much more interesting. This isn't Edd vs. Ant. It's more interesting vs. predictable, scripted reality TV with poorly written dialog.

that P1800 is begging for a TVR Rover 5.0 v8 to be swapped in!!
Irv Gordon would beg to disagree
no, it isn't
