I would like to see them working on the body to see who is doing the work not just the putting the parts back on the car. GYC may do good work but who is doing the work , not the big mouth.

That is what I do like about the English show, "Wheeler Dealer". At least half the the show is the actual work being done. If they have to farm it out to get something done, we get to see that too. I think it really is probably the best of those shows. No soap opera plots, no drama, just buying, repairing and at the very end, selling the car to someone. The guy Mike, has a good sense of humor but doesn't overdo it. Edd the mechanic is very good at explaining what he's doing on the mechanical end.
The results are realistic in that they aren't doing full restos but buying clean, interesting collector cars, repairing and reselling for a modest profit.
The cars are generally not the kind of cars we deal with much on this site but still, very interesting. I loved the Blue 1970 Fiat 'Dino' they did the other night.
