The Wheeler Dealer YouTube channel has several short clips from this episode. I enjoy watching the show but always come away feeling some of the repair shortcuts were questionable. I hope they prove me wrong with the Boxster.

Agree. In the last episode I watched, the mechanic was talking about a major dent in the door and said the right way to fix it is to use a hammer & dolly to straighten the metal....when he couldn't get the door panel off after 5 minutes he slapped a half gallon of bondo into the dent. That was it for me.

Also, it's funny that they seem to average ~200 pounds per car they fix, not including labor & overhead.

I love the show and it inspired me to flip 2 Audi TTs and a Cayman in the last 2 yrs.

I always got a kick out of how Edd could spray paint from a can and get such a good match. Hmmm

And always hate how they show the car all cleaned up and then Mike takes it out and gets it filthy.
