Mike Brewer's still eager to splash the cash on a tailor‑made bus, hoping the lavish conversion will give the programme a striking, eye‑catching vehicle. He imagines a fully customised interior and exterior, with plenty of flair, and he's prepared to spend considerably to achieve that look. Mechanic Edd China's, by contrast, advocates a far more restrained option, preferring a conventional campervan rather than an extravagant bus. His stance's influenced by his expertise in air‑cooling systems, which he feels are best accommodated by a modest, practical build. Consequently, he's still pushing for a simpler, cost‑effective solution that aligns with his technical experience.

The lads set about overhauling a BMW 335i estate, intent on giving the wagon the kind of performance and visual flair normally reserved for an M3. Their work concentrates on extracting power that rivals the M‑class model and on applying styling cues that make the estate look far more aggressive, all while retaining the car’s original chassis. They hope the upgrades will let the estate keep up with the M3’s acceleration and top‑end speed. When the build is finished, the real test arrives: can the tuned estate be prepared well enough to take on a genuine M3 in a straight‑line, head‑to‑head drag race and come out on top? The outcome will decide whether the estate can match the M3’s performance.

Mike comes across a rare Land Rover Series 1, only to suspect that the vehicle might not be exactly what it appears at first glance. What begins as a modest cosmetic touch‑up soon spirals into a far more intricate and pricey restoration effort, as hidden issues emerge and the work proves far more demanding than anticipated. He soon realises that each component requires specialist attention, driving up both the timetable and the budget considerably. The simple plan to spruce up the classic quickly turns into a tangled, expensive undertaking, forcing Mike to confront the unexpected challenges of bringing the old four‑wheel‑drive back to its former glory.

After years of hunting for the perfect 1980s hot hatch, Mike finally tracks down what he describes as the ultimate example – a Renault 5 GT Turbo. The episode sets the scene with Mike's excitement at uncovering a model that epitomises the era's blend of performance and style. Elvis, known for his hands‑on approach, is tasked with bringing the hatch back to its former glory, but the clock is ticking as the birthday approaches. Mike and Elvis must coordinate their efforts, balancing the need for a thorough rebuild with the pressure of the looming celebration, leaving viewers wondering if the car will be ready in time.

The lads acquire a Mitsubishi Shogun, intending to turn it into a capable off‑roader. Their plan hinges on Elvis tackling the vehicle’s rust problem; if he can get the corrosion under control, he’ll then fit a lift and install a selection of accessories designed to boost its off‑road ability. The group hopes the modifications will give the vehicle better ground clearance and more robust handling on uneven surfaces. They’re counting on the lift to raise the chassis and on the added parts to improve traction and durability. In short, the boys’ project revolves around first addressing the rust and, once that’s sorted, enhancing the Shogun’s performance on rough terrain with the lift and extra gear.
