I'll try and catch a rerun, we often watch the show. Great craftsmen and it's always heart warming to see the owners' reactions when their beloved item is returned.

[Chillidoggy]

I shall watch with interest!

[Rambo]

I hope they replaced the wishbones 🤔

Excellent Tony thanks for letting us know, we recorded the program knowing we would be talking instead of listening and having to rewind quite a few times.

[Dave Eds]

Great stuff @Kimbers I really enjoyed that. Excelllent repair work.

Good to see how well MJK is looking, and how proud he was of you too in that very touching moment.

What a great story, thanks for sharing.

They were on back order unfortunately! 😜

Having a few days holiday in the Grampians (stunning, warm clear blue sky today) but made sure I got back to watch it at the hotel. You coukd see Mike was chuffed with the result. Very nice thing to do @Kimbers.

 

[obione]

We watched this last night, very enjoyable and lovely to see you both

[MPx]

Great to see you both on the tele @kimbers and a wonderful story.  What an amazing job Brenton did on the car.

(Slight aside off topic, but I've always wondered how The Repair Shop works Tony - I'm guessing you approach and if they like your story/item you get selected...but do you then pay for time/materials or just hand it over and they put in whatever's needed?)

The TV show pays for all the repairs on The Repair Shop! Restorations can cost hundreds to thousands of pounds so everyone who gets on the show is very lucky.

If people wish to make a donation to charity we're very happy with that, but it's by no means necessary

Wow just watched this - absolutely fantastic to see.
