Unlike the majority ,I like Mike...he's a real character and honest and true to himself, he's also done very well for himself. He and Ed will have encouraged thousands of people to restore and repair their cars rather than scrapping them..don't knock him
Oh, how I miss Edd China, who really is a mechanic who does uncompromisingly fine job. Edd was the heart of the Wheeler Dealers’ and I really hope he would come back in a way or another.
Have you caught Edd's new you tube show "Garage Revival"? he goes around to individuals, and helps them finish their own projects. Ep1 is running now. it's not too bad, and Brewer's no where around to bother with. Cheers!
Great show! I think that Ant fits excellent as a mechanic! He is both nice and very knowledge. Of course it's little odd before we are use to hi after Ed, but Ant have gone into our hearts, a very nice fellow!
What put me off Mike was when he went to countries like Mexico, Brazil, India etc seeking favours from people and trying to cut them down on everything - just so he could make a personal profit - it was so cringeworthy and rather disturbing. No wonder Ed pulled out.
One very hot tip. Take out both the gearbox and engine togheter. Much easier. And I shuld know as I have had mine SAAB 96 V4 -74 ever since before i took my drivers license.
I feel the production is less interresting since it went to the US-company Velocity. A lot of things "just happens" without any info or pics. The Saab 96: Yes, you can adjust gaps between door and wing, but.. the door also has to fit in door aperture. No word about that. I enjoyed the windscreen cutting. It was a lot of talk about the small Saab-engine, but the origin is actually US, it was a part of the Cardinal-project, a supercompact for US-market. But, it ended up in german Fords instead: Taunus 12/15/17M., and Saab bought it from Ford. Ant is good, but Edd is better!
Great car, and I can vouch for that having had at least 10 of them over the years. But what's up with the roof upholstery? I've never ever seen one being even remotely as tattered.
I think Ant is a good restorer and knows his stuff, but it is time Mike just concentrated on selling his used cars and left the show. He brings nothing to it for me I'm afraid.
am sad to see edd is no longer doing this but to be fair ant is good guy just wish mike would do one and edd an ant take over who knows maybe one day fingers crossed
Watched it last night, the whole episode and I have to say it was boring, they both sounded like they were struggling to make it exciting, the only novel bit was the Windscreen fix and that was it.😕
I believe you truthfully wish for me back in 95. That you do have something to do with me. Searching for my real father. Mitchell? That is my name. But people know me as well.
no disrespect to the new mechanic,but its not as graphic when doing the work,as it was , the old show with edd was better ,it was more off a show then,all the best edd
i think this was the worse episode ever made (and one of my favorite cars that came on the show)... The escort had good coverage why didnt this little saab deserve the same treatment? I ( and i think i'm not the only one) dont care at all what the head of the saab enthousiast club thinks of it. I WANT TO SEE WHAT IS HAPPENING TO THE CAR. If not just make a 1 min episode: Here is the car i'm going to buy : "insert walkaround of car". This is the car after "insert mechanic" has done his magic : "insert walkaround after restoration + listing of things that needed replacing" THE END.
Yeah, I had a black '72 V4 and loved it so much I kept it for 30 years! Brilliant, quirky but great fun to drive.....
I just bought a 74 Saab 96 to restore. 😄 Hopefully she's back on the road next year.
Is she?
@@fjahnhogler lets pray
i have a 2007 9-3 I Am restoring i would love to see more Saab restores on Saabs older or newer love to watch the show ! ,i AM American ,
Unlike the majority ,I like Mike...he's a real character and honest and true to himself, he's also done very well for himself. He and Ed will have encouraged thousands of people to restore and repair their cars rather than scrapping them..don't knock him
mike is nice. Mike and Ant have a great chemistry too

I miss Ed i would love to see him Re unite with the show if just for a Episode ,!
The Saab 96 is great Swedish classic. The V4 Ford engine was superb-great fun to drive !
What put me off Mike was when he went to countries like Mexico, Brazil, India etc seeking favours from people and trying to cut them down on everything - just so he could make a personal profit - it was so cringeworthy and rather disturbing. No wonder Ed pulled out.
Mike was complaining about the colour on that Saab.. why did they paint the 57 Bel Air yellow, if he think yellow doesn't fit cars?..
One very hot tip. Take out both the gearbox and engine togheter. Much easier. And I shuld know as I have had mine SAAB 96 V4 -74 ever since before i took my drivers license.
It's not "nine six", it's "ninetysix"!
Right

Ant is good, but Edd is better!
Edd is good mechanic, but his bodywork skills were novice, Ant fabricated that rust repair like a pro.
edd china for the win!! sadly no longer on the show
Watched it until I realized it wasn’t Edd. I’ll go watch some other Saab content, fanks.
dont we miss him!!!!
Great car, and I can vouch for that having had at least 10 of them over the years. But what's up with the roof upholstery? I've never ever seen one being even remotely as tattered.
The poor Saab engine is running as well as a haunted saussage^^
I love the sound of the V4.
I think Ant is a good restorer and knows his stuff, but it is time Mike just concentrated on selling his used cars and left the show. He brings nothing to it for me I'm afraid.
Just a thought but why don't they both go to view the cars?
I Would love too see ED back on the show if just for 1 Episode , or even help !
Without Edd this is Flogging a Dead Horse
cant believe they paid 2800 for a v4 that doesnt run. I wouldnt pay that in SEK
Joel Forsberg he drove it away when he bought it
In Sweden, he had bought it for $ 100 or less .
And ? Do you have to pay more for it just for that?
you do, actually. saabs are way cheaper in sweden because they are way more common over there.
Wrong ! In Sweden we use salt on the roads so they have almost all rusted away.
am sad to see edd is no longer doing this but to be fair ant is good guy just wish mike would do one and edd an ant take over who knows maybe one day fingers crossed
i still have my 1973-96 drove it in high school 40 years ago, also have a lot of parts for sale if anyone is interested
There no poke without smoke. Should have got the 2 stroke 🥰
Ya no shitty
Bought one of those new in 1967 for Stg.700.But why the round headlight? These were changed for square in 1968.
They switched to round in the United States! In other countries, they were square .
all that's good, but what happens with the rust, back from the superficial to the bubble ??
I doubt I'd let someone change a clutch on my drive just to sell a car. He had all the gear there too. How strange. Windscreen part amazing though.
Yes, that was weird. First replace the clutch at sellers driveway - then buy the car..?
yeah what a coincedance...or utter shit.
A TV crew, a stash of extra cash off camera and a promise of 2 seconds of fame probably did the trick.
Saab 96 never has a problem with it, it’s the problem driver
Edvard Pajula what the fuck you are you doing here?
@@antti1325 What rehupuntti there?
Höylä Soikkeli i' see everything....and when i hear or smell saab i'm there😅
@@antti1325 Relly good, nimittäin saab be man on the road
Why is Ant pretending to unbolt the hood when all you realy do to remove the hood on those sabbs is pulling two pins? seems more like he is acting
Back then Cars fore the american market had to have round lights. In that way the us tried to stop cars from out of the us to enter the market
What was edd talking about no garage time diy?
Great work!
Finally a Saab 96! But you would have bought a two stroke
Edd would have insisted....
How about testing the engine BEFORE you reassemble the grille, hood etc. etc.?
this show abuses the mechanic. Its good that Edd China left.
Watched it last night, the whole episode and I have to say it was boring, they both sounded like they were struggling to make it exciting, the only novel bit was the Windscreen fix and that was it.😕
Don't watch it then.
I bought a new 1967 V4 in UK for 700 quid.
This guy still alive?
"Ninety-Six", not "Nine-Six". Sweet ride!
No. Nine-Six. I'm Swedish.
No. Ninety-six ! I`m Swedish and owned one !
I believe you truthfully wish for me back in 95. That you do have something to do with me. Searching for my real father. Mitchell? That is my name. But people know me as well.
Allan Johnson what are you talking about
no disrespect to the new mechanic,but its not as graphic when doing the work,as it was , the old show with edd was better ,it was more off a show then,all the best edd
Never change a winning formula. Ant is cool but everyone is gonna miss Ed China.Velocity sucks!
37 comments in 2 months see I told you we wanted ed china🤔
Cherry picker not necessary with the 2 strokes..
i think this was the worse episode ever made (and one of my favorite cars that came on the show)... The escort had good coverage why didnt this little saab deserve the same treatment?

i love you
lol what 2800 for a non running v4? in finland i can get one for 500..
Shame! a load of crap now, but of course Brewer/Velocity etc KNOW the Huge USA Market is where THE MONEY IS!!!
And now, you must buy ZAZ 968m from Ukraine.
Show has gone right downhill that Ant is as annoying as Mike! 👎
