Ant Anstead Master Mechanic

Ant has 12 weeks until his baby boy is due, and the same amount of time to fulfill a childhood fantasy, to own a 1950s Alfa 158. But since he doesn't have $20 million lying around, he's going to build the Alfa from the ground up.

Ant has found a donor 1950s chassis, so his ambitious Alfa 158 build can now begin in earnest. He also digs deep into his passion for the early years of Formula One racing and how it inspired this project.

Ant visits an Alfa specialist hoping to buy a live rear axle, and ends up with more than he bargained for. Its win-win, but the tricky part will be trying to fit a Spider's axle, gearbox and engine into his 158.

Ant is beginning to feel the pressure of his ambitious Alfa 158 build. The only place he can get the correct body mold on short notice is his own shop back in England, more than 5,000 miles away.

As the Alfa build nears the halfway point, a torn bicep threatens to derail the entire project. When Ant's wife Christina stops by to make sure he isn't overdoing it, she's surprised to learn that the 158 is a single-seater.

Ant's 158 and injured arm are both progressing steadily, but he still needs lots of help from the camera crew. Making matters worse, the body is still in transit from the UK and might not fit the chassis.
