After meeting with the owner and taking a closer look at the car, the Car SOS team discovers that there are quite a few issues that need to be addressed.

They even call in some favors from other car enthusiasts and restorers to help them find what they need.

As the restoration progresses, the team begins to make significant progress on the car. They replace the damaged body panels, repaint the car in its original color scheme, and install new suspension and exhaust systems. They also work on improving the performance of the engine by making some upgrades and installing new components.

Towards the end of the episode, the team unveils the completed Renault 5 GT Turbo to the owner.
