These two clowns are more interested in being melodramatic than working on cars. They were just whinging pricks to that first seller with the yellow MGB. I loved it when he laughed in their faces at that ridiculous offer.
Did you notice the near perfect B GT sitting next to it ?
I use to love watching Leepu build cars using metal that's the same gauge as a soda can and over sized wheel spacers they would yank a wheel hub right out, total joke.
I just can’t watch this with that absolute bell end trying to act like a geezer for the American market!
@@michaeltaylor5682 I know what you mean. Watched about three minutes. That was plenty enough thank you.
@@markrainford1219 ... I'm with you. I'm done here ...
I love it when Bernie loses his temper 😂😂😂
this is by far the best episode ever. Seeing Berny sing si priceless!!!!
The Mazda Mx5 reminds me of a mgb
The way he shut the door at the end of the episode by grabbing the vent window frame will eventually cause the infamous MGB doorcrack. Don't ever do that.
Dam
For me watching this was an absolute waste of time.
Huge drama which is not seen in the auto business. Everything must always be a crisis in “reality tv”
Get rid of the mouthy Cockney
@@ianmarywilliams You have no idea what a Cockney is i see :) hahaha there is not one in this video i know that much :)
@@rangersasc Really, mouthy Londoner then
@@ianmarywilliams Sounds like hes from Essex or somewhere
@@rangersasc That's even worse then lol
haven't these 2 ever heard of sandblasting? it works much better than using a bloody grinder.
Those guys are HACKS. Unprofessional. They do NOT restore anything. They always do so many things half assed. Unbelievable.
Really
@@marioiacolucci Yes, really.
It is a British thing... the customer is not the boss and the employee will make you beg for his service if he knows you can't find one like him.... but I find that attitude mainly in white male.
@@storminator60 big time
For fucks sake. Its a made for TV programme! All the drama is fake. And you get a layman's look at the restoration not the full work. Grow up. I never seen such pathetic comments.
Back axel going down...😂 That's funy
Bernie 🤣
Parts are amazingly easy to come by at really good prices, I was very surprised when I did the restoration on my 73 BGT.
If I'd been the owner I'd have shown Bernie and his screwdriver the door.
Looks great
watching your episodes complete's my day... good job guys,keep it up..👍👍👍
I can’t believe the sills weren’t rusted out. They weren’t replaced so I wouldn’t touch it with a barge pole!
I commuted from Oakland to Lockheed Missles and Space Co. each day in my MGB, BRG. If it rained, it had NO brakes. And those black plastic heater knobs only gave the impression of HEAT.... But that engine/exhaust sure gave a nice prrrrrrrrrr.
With the people skills these two have it’s a miracle they are able to buy anything. So 2 weeks and a budget of $4000.00, I mean what could go wrong? And when the rear end dropped I loved the “ it may be a write off”. You gave 500 pounds for it, you can part it out and turn a profit. Lotsa drama here.
Ho my God!! Taking the paint off to bare metal with the angle grinder, are we mad!!
2 cars ... they didn't fix no car
Ashes to ashes, rust to rust.... LOL, i died at that one!
wow they faked the car. the original rustbucket that they bought is a inca yellow Late model MGB, late model starting from 1978, distinguished by its triumph gauges and redesigned dashboard. inca yellow also didn’t come out until 1977/78. in the green car (which appears to be a Brooklands green, NOT BRG) is said to be a 76, early model rubber bumper car. The dashboard and instruments are different (which is a pain to interchange since they dont share too many differences) and also has early model headrests and early model steering wheel, whereas the inca yellow car had the late model headrests and steering wheel, which is not interchangeable without changing the steering column. so It appears to be faked.
the rear springs didnt drop off , they were sawn off , most viewers believe the panic !
The loops on the end of the springs have been cut load of rubbish
10:23 16:12 28:01 28:20
♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Never use fingertips with sand paper… always a “Block”
So much theater.....be more serious.
So the car was faked. It made several good points and was very entertaining. The new steel roof was amazing. The paint job and final bodywork looked very nice. I still can't figure out HOW they made money on the car. It looked they lost 2,000 gbp. The bumpers looked new as well as the grills and other shiny bits. New seats and upholstery costs a fortune in the USA.
I like the animation of the original MGB leaf spring suspension @17:51
That’s about the only reason I keep watching these shows.
16:10 I had a good laugh!
Wow gents, it's beautiful 😂
these shows just get sillier and sillier.
Be surprised if that car ever made it to the road wouldn’t trust them to fix a push bike
Burnie is not a mechanic . Is a idiot I fill sorry for is wife
Parts for MGBs are cheap but no way was the cost of that 'restoration' 4k
Great job guys
a great example of a tire kicker. they honestly hasn’t made any car better than when they first came in. disrespectful to the sellers and The car.🤦🏻♂️
If you can enable it for other country's you will get more likes,after episode 3 its disabled,we loved this show
good simple times
The hundred was over paying, wouldn't try rebuilding that car if you got it for free
I can’t believe you paid £500 for that pile of junk. I’ve sold solid rubber bumper GT’s for that recently.
I would have just scrapped that shell if it was mine.
I have a 1981 MGB GT (yes you read that right, 1981, even though the factory closed in 1980!).
After the factory in Abingdon CLOSED down in 1980, all the remaining MGB GT parts were shipped to British Leyland in South Africa as CKD (Completely Knocked Down), where only 200 was ever built from imported CKD kits.
I would have left the MGB and taken the right hand drive Chevy Impala
absolutely!!
25:22 Woo woo woo wooooh
Think they be better off with 1st car. What went wrong, it happen when they bought the car!
Hate the stupid rubber bumpers glad they filled in the sunroof
before after cars are different.
Will you come back to work?
There's a karioke machine over there.
Hahah.
Wow, if that's all it takes to expertly appraise a car, then I've just found my new job.=
Nice job on the bodywork but at bare minimum I would have expected a compression check, an inspection of all the engine seals and gaskets, and a test of the clutch. Without all those things buying this car would, as we say here in America, be like buying a pig in a poke! Last but not least that's not British Racing Green paint, it,s several shades too light.
I bought a new red MGB in 1970 in Orlando, Florida. I think that it was manufactured during a strike.
Uk car shows are good.
Nobody seems to have bothered welding underneath.
Is that a 483MG number plate, amazing for the price.
the parking light/front indicators are upside down - funny that the appraiser didn't notice that
Really dam
What happened to the chrome bullet mirrors?
Proper british comedy
I live in america and its pretty hillarious to me how Brits do bussiness!
I’d have the 3.5 v8 gt. 0-60 in 8 seconds and 125 mph.
Oh boy, Bernie is a drama queen.
He always gets mad
32:07 😂😂😂😂
12:06 lol
Where the hell is Suri!!!lol
GGGuys omg finallly its the old guy
What happened to the bullet mirrors
careful guys ...all they looking for are hits !
The 240Z killed off a lot of 2 seater sports cars.
Crash testing notwithstanding,, chrome bumpers were so much nicer than that black rubber nonsense. Neither bumper is going to matter in a collision, lol.
Well done mates, I would have no problem having you restore one of my cars or buying one from you, cheers..
im out at the bogus karaoke play.....
Those 5mph black rubber bumpers are as ugly as hammered snake s***, they definitely had to go....
16:14 omg
The mini was worth 5.000 as well
I remember all the dramas in the classic car newspapers when this was broadcast, eventually the tv production company admitted their were 2 MGB's
the green one was a completely different car that only needed a respray, the whole restoration was staged on the yellow one and then it was scrapped
No surprises there! These guys are embarrassing to watch, I wouldn't let them fix my bicycle.
They had to scrap it because the rear suspension wasn't safe at all.
Should be called drama queen,its just too much.
Appraise a car ? Whos joking .
Is Bernie really that unpleasant. Don't know how anyone can be around him.
The Bernie character wrecks this show but to be fair to him, he is obviously told to act up and the scenes are horribly scripted.
A real pity as aside from his fake outrage, this is a good show.
What year is it?
I just bought one 1978 good running condition 56k miles for the price of 3400
It's yellow convertible
Why don't they drive around in classic cars that they pimp out? I mean Count does, doesn't he?
bald man is insufferable
Perhaps you have to be an American to appreciate the over acting dribble.
After all that work
they lost money , the
labor of workers is not
cheep . that comes to mind
all the people that was on strike
in the late 70s it would of been
worth it if they only had build
a quality Compact Car to last,
cause they Rust out a lot over seas,
Still see old Beetles around
and only one or two of those MG
in peoples driveway tucked away.
That was a lot of Rust on that Car
to be honest not sure if it's as good
as it l👀k's, Wow was that
Bernie's wifey on show °?• .. I thought
Bernie had a much older wife in age
she look much Younger then Bernie .
No way would I buy a car of these sharks. Fake fake fake
Again! Setup arguments. The Canadian spends four hours looking for a ‘rear end’ after the rear end has been fitted and really four hours! Did not show how they cut the rust out of the ‘A’ pillar or overhauling the carbies. But did show us lunch with the wife and what looked like singing in a pub. And once again failed to wear their seatbelts while driving. Guys we are interested in your reconstruction work, not all the other repetitive rubbish. Cheers.
Manufactured angst on what was a fake series.
Dodgey Brothers Resto's
I WOULD RATHER MAKE A LOSS THAN HIRE AN BUNCH OF LAZY EMPLOYEES WHO MAKE ME APOLOGISE FOR TELLING THEM OFF.
People are lazy at work always
Never ever painted a car like that! WTF
This is one of the best restoration cars tv shows. These presenters are amazing!
I realized that after watching it for 30 Seconds it was a Reality Knockoff that i didn't need to watch.
Too sad for words.not sure what the tubby guy is on but it’s not good. Stroke blood pressure. Silly,could actually make a good show. Didn’t bother after see bodsay not bother getting out of bed. He had them sussed.
There's a difference between dirt and birdshit
And another fake deadline
The rear leafsprings are cut. Thats why the axel fell of, Totaly gay show!
I get it its bad, but there is no need to flip out. Put the effort in the end price tag. Your health is way more important baldhead.
nevermnd I love de baldhead.
Insult to the average intelligence.
Whats up with the old guy
On one hand I like the end product of these two BUT...what I hate about this show is their constant bickering! Its pathetic!
Without a doubt the worst car program I ever saw. I thought it was a comedy to begin with.
Everything is staged, with poor acting and if "Bernie" is a master mechanic , well, no wonder the UK Car Industry collapsed.
If he ever actually spoke to his staff like that he'd be laid out straight away. I'm guessing the American production company thought that a guy with a Cockney accent, driving round insulting people would sell in the States, and Dick Van Dyke wasn't available.
Why did he try to buy it for a hundred quid then claim it was beyond saving?
When they are painting it at 37 minutes you can clearly see that they are painting over a front wing with huge rust holes - no repair, no replacement panels.
It also looks like the drivers door doesn't close properly.
Bodgers and cowboys.
It's criminal to claim this is a restoration.
Think they trying to copy the formula of American Chopper with all the drama and screaming, you are right its obvious its staged and fake. Anything for TV ratings and money i guess.
@@joanned8172 Agree - there was an awful, awful show where the otherwise highly skilled Indian mechanic/panel beater overacted so badly it was impossible to watch. The 'moment' was him pretending to go into a trance to get his 'vision' of how the car would look and we were told if he did not 'feel it', the restoration could not happen.
Of course, he did 'feel it' and we all were so relieved and happy.....yeesh....as corny and silly as you can get.
All their episodes have been the same; argue about a car, curse a lot, questionable work (c'mon, WHO'd actually WANT a car "restored" in 2-weeks?), get mad, storm off, then get mad and storm off again. Ho hum.
Ha ha
makes me cringe these creeps ...car guy me.
