I finished it up, no, not a hot rod or scream at each other because the car needs to be totally restored by next week show.
They take classics, refurbish them on a budget, and then sell them for a very fictitious profit, as labor doesn't seem to be counted nor is travel time and money (in the TR4 episode Mike flies across the Atlantic to get a new door skin) but they show some good tips on how to fix and restore things, and they also go to specialist shops and suppliers and show how things are made there. Worth a watch if you haven't.

I watched it last night. I was curious. Does the TR4 engine use thrust washers like the TR6? If so, they never even checked them, nor did they take the head off. I guess the compression was good and the car was not smoking. Ant did install an "improved" water pump with 6 impeller vanes and a two-piece rear main seal plus an alternator and of course reversed some wires. They paid $6,800.00 for the car, put in about another $6,500.00 and sold it for $16,500.00. They got a new doorskin from England custom made. $1,340.00 as I recall. Car was clean and rust-free.
