Classic Car Cock Up! Currently on Channel 5.

Awesome 928 restoration/lash up. One of the many funny things is the historic footage of 928s included 968s and 944s all (apparently) 928s.
 
The end result though looks by far the best thing they have done by 1000x country miles, probably my perfect spec 928. Also great to see my friend Ben Demetriou getting plenty of exposure for his business.
 
I thought this was called Classic Car Cowboys?

I've recorded it to watch later. Will I need to compose myself first?
 
Until I watched this program I wasn't aware that a club hammer is the tool of choice for removing an M030 front caliper.....!!!

The end result looks nice though

Saw that they dumped the original wheels too?

And yes, the state of that front calliper after Bernie had been whacking it with a chisel - they kept showing a close up of it so you could see the big dint he put in the aluminium. They pointed out all the oil leaks but didn't say that they'd fixed them (I hope so) - this show would be passable without Bernie wanging on for the camera. But on the positive side, it makes Wheeler Dealers look far better and that in itself is saying something.
 
Wheels!Yup I didn't get why they ditched the D90s for Boxster wheels????
When he got the calliper off he chucked it down!!!
Those seats looked ok but were they the right era for a GT??
Good program me and Paz watched it together and laughed a lot especially when the 968 which has round headlights but then the 944 with a totally different face!!! Lol.
The trim looked very tired on the outside and even with fresh paint it would have needed a lot replacing!
Eddie China rules [:D]
 
From memory and a fleeting glance they were right for an S4, as I have a similar pair in my garage. Ooh - Id forgotten about those! Linen with coloured piping, probably blue as it wasn't red...

Anyway, if the GT used the same seats then yes.

I too wondered about the wheels. The clowns have swapped 7.5" and 9" wheels for inferior 7" and 8.5" wheels. My girlfriends dog knows more about Porsches than that wally, but I wouldn't trust him with her squeaky toy.
