Been watching for a couple years now, completely caught up with all episodes I can find. Edd was actually my inspiration to start doing my own car work. He does make it look easy, and there are many aggravating factors doing your own work, but he also doesn't sugar-coat it.
Since I've found the show I went from barely able to do an oil change to stuff like:
* BMW M3: Replacement of cooling system (radiator, pump, thermostat, hoses, fan, fan clutch), new control arms and bushings, all new fluids (transmission, diff), new brakes and fluid, intake manifold removal and cleaning, new steering pump, various sensors.
* BMW 330i: New steering pump and hoses, new water pump & thermostat, intake cleaning, DISA rebuild, throttle body and idle control valve cleaning, control arm bushings, replaced dirty/sagging pillar material, refinished center console
* VW TDI: 40k service (DSG fluid, fuel filter, oil & filters, intake filter, cabin filter).
After these projects and building my confidence I bought a 1986 Mercedes project car last November. I sorted out the rough engine, replaced fuel filters, oil & filter, new brake master cylinder and rear brakes, vacuum leaks, broken odometer, broken turn signal. Starting body work now with simple metal cutting, grinding, and flux core welding.
Now if this isn't the sign of a good show I don't know what is. It's a real confidence builder.
