In this episode of Restoration Garage, the team at the Garages finds themselves turning up the heat on several projects. The episode opens with a focus on Mark, the head painter at the Garages, who is tasked with reviving the paint on a classic 1967 Camaro Z28. The car has significant rust damage that needs to be repaired before Mark can start on the new paint job. Mark is no stranger to difficult paint jobs, and the team is confident he will be able to bring the Camaro back to life.
Next up, the team turns their attention to a project that has been sitting on the back burner for some time - a 1959 Jaguar XK150. The car has been in the shop for a while, and while the bodywork and engine have been completed, there are still many details that need to be addressed before it can be finished. The team has also been struggling to find the right tires for the car, and this episode shows them scouring the internet and various auto parts stores until they finally find the perfect set.
The episode then moves on to a project that has been causing headaches for the Garages team - a 1952 International Pickup. The team has been struggling to get the truck's engine to start, and they've tried everything from cleaning the carbs to adjusting the timing. As a last resort, they decide to strip the engine down completely to see if there are any internal issues that might be preventing it from starting. The engine rebuild is a long and difficult process, but the team is determined to get the truck running again.
Finally, the episode wraps up with a look at another classic American muscle car - a 1966 Shelby Mustang GT350. The Mustang has some serious horsepower under the hood, but the team realizes that the engine is running a bit too hot for comfort. They decide to install a new radiator and upgrade the cooling system to bring the temperature down. The team works tirelessly to ensure that all the parts are installed correctly and the car is running smoothly before they send it back to its owner.
Throughout the episode, the Garages team faces many challenges, but they never give up. Whether they're rebuilding engines or searching for elusive parts, they always find a way to get the job done. With their passion for classic cars and their unwavering dedication to perfection, the team at Restoration Garage proves that no job is too difficult and no car is beyond repair.
