One of the best projects they have done I reckon. Obviously the 18" wheels are vastly too large for the car, though for once they are quite a nice design.

Would have been better without the boy racer stripes and oversized wheels, and better still if they had used the twin cam body shell without the breadvan sides. Good transformation though.

Love the finished car... hate the wheels.

The Europa has been one of my favorite cars since I saw Tara King driving one in the Avengers when I was a kid!

Stu

Sighhhh. Owned that car's brother for over 12 years. Two Frame off 'restorations' Two drive trains.
Final one being an R12 Gordini unit "tweaked". Far more power than even the Fabled Lotus 49 managed..
Big Deal
It was like driving a Coffin
A rebuild of Every Effing part of the excearable thing .. Twice
Complete Utter Rubbish is an Honest and very chariitable descriptor.
TV show is just a Joke. A LOT of Hype over Bugger All.
The suspension needs Total replacement /redesign Having a rear wheel pass one on the Highway TWICE Gives one pause Garbage grade "British' Steel ...shearing... was the cause on both occaisions.. One cannot make this stuff up.

"will be watching both of these links tonight."


I wont!! how to ruin a classic in two programmes!

I have watched the foose progs, and he is quite cool, but most of his donor cars, a pig ugly yank tanks, and even he could make a fat yank wank look ok ish

Apologies to all my us buddies, except one tommy tanker BARE

I'm watching to see what I can learn from their fabrication techniques as I have no training. I love what they've done: took a dream and made it into reality. But, of course, I also hate to see a restorable Europa get cut up where a nice restoration could've (re-)made a wonderful car for less money.

Looks to me like they might as well have cut-and-pasted the front end (with suspension) of a modernish Porsche 911.

Just sayin'

Steve, in the NLs

Love it, even those wheels
