They seemed to do a pretty nice job on the 993. The shocks with adjustable top mounts looked a bit OTT for a targa, they could have saved £1500 or so with just some sport shocks and springs, didn't make sense to me...
It didn't seem as far fetched as some of their projects either. Probably only 2 days work tied up in the car, which if added to their declared prices even at full garage rates would have still been a profit...
Am I over thinking this......?

They failed to replace the broken spoiler curtain!
only £50 too...Enjoyed the show none the less and especially the Cat & Fiddle pass, which is a fantastic road

I have been watching it for years here in the U.S. Most likely it will be shown here next season. Usually past programs lag 6-12 months behind when broadcast in the U.K.

Just a thought, but I bet they did not even pay for the shocks, I seem to recall seeing Quantum on one of the units, I reckon they were gratis, call me cynical but…... http://www.quantumracing.co.uk

I finally saw this episode last night. My Tivo picked it up yesterday. There is a noticeable delay in broadcast dates in the US, at least on DirecTV. As for the car, I think they did a decent job of restoring/improving it.

My Tivo picked it up last night as well. I would've liked to have seen the shop that refinished the wheels because they looked like a total loss to me. I enjoy the show and always try and pick up 'Top Tips' from Ed!
After watching the episode I do believe that they just scratched the surface of things needing to be fixed/replaced on that car. If they do vanity license plates in the UK this car's plate should read NEGLECT.
