Ep 7. Peugeot 205 GTI

In Car SOS season 6 episode 7, the team takes on the restoration of a classic Peugeot 205 GTI. The car belongs to a father and son duo who have been working on it for years but have hit a wall when it comes to getting it running smoothly. The father, Mike, bought the car as a project for him and his son, Alex, to work on together. They spent countless weekends tinkering with it in their garage, but they were never quite able to get it running right. It became a bit of a running joke among their friends and family that the car was a bit of a lemon.

The Car SOS team takes on the challenge of fixing up the Peugeot and surprising Mike and Alex with a fully restored car. As always, the team faces some unexpected challenges along the way. When they first start working on the car, they discover that the engine has a serious problem that may cost more to fix than they anticipated. They also find that the car's bodywork is in need of some serious attention.

But the Car SOS team is undeterred and sets to work restoring the car to its former glory. They strip it down and replace the damaged parts, including the engine. They also repaint the car to give it a shiny, new look. To make sure that it not only looks good but performs well too, the team takes it for a test drive on a race track. They even get some professional driving advice from a race car driver to make the most of the car's capabilities.

Throughout the episode, we get to know Mike and Alex and learn more about their love for cars. We hear about some of the other projects they've tackled over the years and see how much this particular car means to them. It's clear that restoring it is about more than just getting the car back on the road; it's a way for them to spend time together and to bond over a shared interest.

In the end, the Car SOS team succeeds in restoring the Peugeot 205 GTI and presents it to Mike and Alex who are blown away by the transformation. They can hardly believe that it's the same car they had been working on for so many years. The team has not only fixed the car but added some special touches to make it even more impressive, including a custom steering wheel and a sound system that rivals those found in modern cars.

Overall, this episode of Car SOS is a heartwarming tribute to the bond between a father and son and their shared love of cars. It's a reminder of the power of restoration projects to bring people together and create lasting memories.
