I think it's (series or season depends how you say it) 6 episode 19.
Dai said it was a blue M3 i think it might be this one but only half the show is viewable in the link.

it was not a bodge and the repair was to MOT standards and he had in fact said to the owner it needed a new chassis on previous occasions but he was unwilling to pay to have it replaced but just wanted the car MOT'd

Sounds like a bodge to me if your mate even said it's not what the car really needed

I can't remember the episode tho, so if Ed made comments about shoddy welding or whatever then there's be a reasonable cause for being pissed off

hahaha i had a good laugh when Mike ask Edd did he ever let him down before and Edd looks right into the camera hahah.

Did look at that link to forum about Dealers Wheelers,Scotty,there are some funny comments really
Most of people dont like Mike but i find him good,maybe sometimes do something odd but we all have our odd days.
They say that its impossible to earn moeny on cars like they do,but i think that the goal of this show isnt some accurate information about how to sell car,its simply a show.
I must say i have learned a few things from Edds advices about painting,some mechanical how-to and few Mike tips on what to look when buying a car.

blasted discovery channel just stopped showing them,instead i have that overhaulin and that hideous bike orange county show.
was looking at pirate bay for full download of the show but there is none,just some of the episodes,separately.
maybe they return the show back.

They changed 205s gear linkage becose shifting gear was bad and loosy,i know what that feeling is because i have pug 309 home,its like stirring a soup.

I watched some of the first series of wd and I found it quite annoying. The first one, the porch, where the mechanic sprayed an entire panel with a tin, well, I've never seen anyone paint an entire panel convincingly with rattle cans, so either it looked horrible close up, he used about 20 tins flatting between each layer, or he reached for his compressor once the filming stopped, which seems the most likely considering he's in what looks like a fairly well equipped garage. The worst one was the Mini, which was a shed. It looked like quite an effective repair on the apex but the entire car was covered with rust holes, so either the guy spent many, many hours welding or most of it just got some lob in it before the paint job. And they made what, 100 quid on it? It must have taken a couple of weeks to do even what they showed on the film. Are they stupid?

These days I'm mostly watching stuff like this http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xr7vmq ... OAEbKz4QQQ (which is where the current avatar came from)

The original series had a hellishly small budget - they had to buy a classic car and repair it for under £1,000.

During the more recent series, they're spending upwards of £10k buying the car, plus parts etc.

My favourite episodes:

Jensen Interceptor Mk. III
Fiat Dino Coupe
Chevrolet Bel Air
Lotus Elan S3
