    One of the things I really like and respect about Ant is his genuine passion for what he's doing.
    This isn't a job of work, it's a labour of love.
    His enthusiasm shines through and he has a lovely personality, which is absolutely right for presenting and narrating a programme of this type.

      it's his biggest outstanding quality, his childlike joy, and genuine passion for what he's doing. that's what makes him great to watch. something to inspire to have the same joy and passion for something in life as he shows.

    I know this is nothing to do with this car "which is so impressive" but I've just watched WD where you did up a Saab 96. My old man scrapped ours in the 80s, about 82 I would have been 10 at the time and he sold it to a banger racer who we watched destroy it a few weeks later. It was two tone colour burgundy and cream. What you and Mike did to that 96 was amazing and took me right back to two early memories. 1st it breaking down on the way to the circus and missing that and second selling to the racer and seeing it wrecked. At the time I was glad I look back now and wish he kept it. Thanks for rekindling memories I never knew were there👍
    P.S I can't wait to see the alfa finished, you really should be proud of yourself. I've got a GF so I get why you built a one seater. 😁

    Please clamp sheet metal and a ythi g else down before you drill it. I have had sheet metal grab a drill and try to gut me. I was wearing a heavy leather apron and that stopped the piece. Great work. Be safe.

      Right? They are releasing the last part of this series in a somewhat fractured pace. Been waiting months for it though, and am super glad they are finally doing it.

    Next time copper braze that grill, would look mint! Then have it surface treated hard coat or something be nice. You TV dudes have the budget for that!

    Is Ant actually rebuilding an Alfa 158 starting from paper sheets? What engine has been chosen?

    • @MrSilnev
      @MrSilnev 4 года назад +2

      I think, the engine is a donor from an old alfa spider.
