In the second episode of Garage Squad season 5, titled "Little Red Corvette," the team takes on a 1969 Chevy Corvette that has been sitting in a garage for the past 20 years. The owner, Michelle, inherited the car from her late father and wants to restore it to its former glory, so she can share it with her own family.
As they start work on the car, the team discovers that it has a number of issues, including a cracked engine block and a transmission that needs to be rebuilt. The body of the car also needs a lot of work, with rust and other damage that has accumulated over the years.
Despite the challenges, the Garage Squad team is up for the task and begins the restoration process. They start by taking apart the car and assessing the damage, making a plan for what needs to be fixed or replaced. Along the way, they encounter some unexpected surprises, such as discovering that the car's original color was not the red it was painted but was actually white.
The team then turns their attention to the engine, which needs a lot of work. They replace the cracked block and rebuild the transmission to get it running smoothly. They also upgrade the suspension and brakes to ensure that the car will handle well on the road.
As work on the car progresses, the team gets creative with some of the details, such as reupholstering the seats with a custom red and black design that pays homage to the car's original color scheme. They also add some finishing touches, such as installing a new exhaust system and adding chrome accents to the exterior.
In the end, the team manages to give Michelle's Little Red Corvette a new lease on life, restoring it to its former glory and making it road-ready once again. Michelle is thrilled with the outcome and excited to share the car with her family for years to come.
Overall, this episode of Garage Squad showcases the team's expertise in tackling tough restorations and highlights the emotional connections that owners have with their cars. It's a fun and engaging episode that car lovers are sure to appreciate.
