    Oooo, love a Frogeyed Sprite..... not keen on the Yankee Doodles calling it a 'bug eyed Sprite!', when will they learn that the original English is the correct terminology... hahahaha. Interesting video though.

            Episode 30... and, no, it's not finished! In fact, still no painted car.

              I recon there’ll a couple more episodes before we get to see the colour of the paint. The longer they stretch it the more high class equipment they’ll have placed in their hands. That humble click on my torque wrench is no longer the delight it once was. Garage envy is me (I wish I had done it before them and could do it half as well).

                            I remember one episode that they set a timer to make one bracket, I think that was for a steering pump bracket and that took a day.
                            I wish I had their patience.

                              designing a bracket right can take so long, especially the way they approach it with perfection!

                                Whatever happened to Binky – Last seen heading for the spray booth?

                                In the meantime I quite enjoyed “Building an £850 hatchback into a competitive race car.” Also from Bad Obsession Motorsport
