Ant Anstead: Born Mechanic had an episode air on Monday, October 12, 2026 at 9:00pm. Series 3, Episode 12 titled "Fiat X1/9: A Project in Pieces" was broadcast on Quest.

Ant takes on a 1987 Fiat X1/9 that has arrived engine-out and partly dismantled. Duncan expresses doubts about the feasibility of the restoration, but Ant presses ahead with the project. While the car sits in pieces, a separate crisis demands immediate attention on the property. A drastic repair is needed to shore up the farmhouse, forcing a split focus between mechanical restoration and structural emergency. The episode balances the technical challenge of assembling a classic sports car with the urgent, physical labour required to keep the building standing. The car remains in fragments throughout, waiting for the engine that is not yet in place. The farmhouse, meanwhile, requires urgent intervention to ensure its stability.
