In episode 12 of Junkyard Empire season 4, titled "Junkyard Driftin'," Andrew and his team are back with another challenging garbage-filled project. The team embarks on building a drift car from scratch, using only the parts available in the junkyard. Andrew knows that this is no easy task and has assembled his top mechanics to make this happen.
The team starts with a car with extreme damage. Andrew is quick to point out that the steering wheel of the car is ripped off, the dashboard is crushed, and the windows are smashed – a perfect car for their project. The car is lifted and moved to their workspace. The team starts with a thorough inspection of the car's condition, searching for parts they can recycle.
The team decides to strip the vehicle of everything, leaving nothing behind except the frame. They then begin modifying the car to make it better suited for drifting. Andrew states that the modifications need to be made carefully, as the car needs to maintain its balance and weight distribution when taking corners at high speed.
As the team works on the project, Andrew checks in regularly to make sure that everything is on track. He points out that the safety of their driver is essential, and they must make sure the car is in top form before hitting the track.
As they dive further into the project, the team begins to face challenges. Many of the parts needed to complete this project are scarce in the junkyard. At one point, the team starts to wonder if they will be able to finish the car in time. They begin to put their creativity to the test, using materials they never have before to build the car.
With meticulous attention to detail and hard work, the team finally finishes building the drift car. Andrew is pleased with the final product and decides to test the car himself. He takes the car on a test run, where he drifts through hard turns, leaving behind a trail of smoke.
With the car complete and their skill set pushed to the limit, the team heads off to the track to compete against other drivers. Andrew chooses one of his mechanics, Aaron, to be the driver for this race. The team is anxious as Aaron takes the car out on the track, and they eagerly watch as he competes to win.
"Junkyard Driftin'" is a testament to the ingenuity and creativity of the Junkyard Empire team. The episode showcases the challenges and obstacles that come with building such a complex car with junkyard parts and the dedication required to complete a project such as this successfully. Andrew, with his unwavering focus and unrivaled passion, leads the team to create a masterpiece of a drift car.
