This episode sees Ian take on a unique and exciting project: turning a 1971 Dodge Camper into a modern-day adventure vehicle.

The Dodge Camper owned by the client, is a classic, but it lacks style and personality. Ian plans to inject some personality into the vehicle. He wants to modify the engine, give the bodywork a new lease of life, and turn the camper into a real head-turner on the road. It is not going to be easy, as the camper is in terrible shape and in desperate need of some TLC. However, with Ian's expertise and creativity, he is confident that he can complete the project to the clients' satisfaction.

The episode kicks off with Ian inspecting the camper and assessing the level of work required. The team then gets to work, and things get busy very quickly, stripping off the vehicle's old parts. Ian and his team of mechanics replace the camper's suspension system, ensuring that the vehicle can handle the weight of the modifications that will be made. The team also installs new brakes, ensuring the camper is safe to drive on the road.

Next, the bodywork of the camper is overhauled. Ian's team removes all the rust and dents, fabricates new panels and replaces the old ones. They also spray the camper's body with a new custom paint job. The color scheme and design chosen for the camper are unique and reflect the camper's adventurous nature.

One of the challenges of the project is transforming the interior. Ian removes the old and out-of-date fittings and replaces them with modern and stylish ones, including new upholstery and carpets. He also installs new air conditioning, a refrigerator, and a stove, making the camper a comfortable and luxury place to stay. Installing these new fixtures ensures that whoever the owner of this camper would be, they can be sure to have all the amenities to enjoy life on the road.

As the project nears its end, the client is invited to inspect the vehicle. He is blown away by the changes and modifications that Ian and his team have made. The Dodge Camper has been transformed into a beautiful, modern, and functional adventure vehicle that reflects the owner's style and personality. Ian and his team have created a unique and exciting vehicle that will undoubtedly stand out on the road and give the owner countless adventures and memories.
