Ant Anstead builds his own car from scratch

Recommended Posts

Just tripped over this new series on Youtube today.

Ant Anstead building his own "special" basically a replica 1930s Alfa Romeo 158 Grand Prix race car.  This isn't like a Wheeler Dealers restoration, he's starting with a donor MG chassis and making it up from there.  In fact it's not at all like Wheeler Dealers at all.

He also creates a fibreglass body from his own mold, explaining the gel-coat and fibreglassing techniques as he goes.
 

To date there are 5, 30-minute episodes uploaded with more to come over the coming weeks.

 

Here's a link to episode 1

Been watching this as well.  He seems a bit hacked off with his injured arm in a sling but still getting things done.  Liked the bit when he told his wife it’s a single seater.

Enjoying but am I the only one who thinks a shame to be hacking apart a good fairlybrare chassis vs building from scratch.
