  • Well the episode started with tiny little difficult repairs, but ended up leading to me cutting the whole bottom corner pocket out of Auto Alex's classic BMW E30! It was much easier to do it this way than to try and work around it!

    Honestly it's kind of mind bending how you manage to piece together parts of a cars body that have obviously needed an expensive machine to stamp them out at the factory. Watching you piece them together like a jigsaw and then weld them so that they look like one seamless piece is brilliant to watch and I'm so glad you took on Colin Furze's BMW so I got directed to your channel and get to see the craftsmanship on display.

    Love watching, tried doing something similar back when i was 16 years old when my mum gave me my 1st car to work on, her old vauxhall chevette that was heading to the breakers yard, completely full of holes but after many many hours & months in my dads garage with just a vice and basic tools and a limited budget i got her finished and as good as new! And through a MOT.
    Keep up the good work !
