I bought the DVD with the complete episode of the C4 Restoration. Edd is quite handy with the spanners. IF I had to be critical, the C4 was one of the first cars they did and there were a few bodged things. Example, note that the tires are all different treads. That is totally unacceptable for a Corvette or in fact any car.

I think the black can spray paint job for the mirrors and small details might turn out OK if you have a good hand. I tried to paint the inside trim pillars with black paint and while it does look better its not perfect. I am dubious that the can black spray for the targa roof will look good.

Overall its a great show.

I watched this episode on HDnet i believe. They did a good job for the money they put in it. It really gets under my skin how he dogs on the car though.

Agree. Seems most British twits with a microphone and platform seem to enjoy throwing out little digs at Americans. This show and Top Gear being prime examples. If I hear one more I'm going to **** pound the first Brit I see into the pavement.
