In Restoration Garage season 6 episode 10, titled "Win, Lose and Draw," the team at the garage faces some difficult challenges when it comes to restoring antique cars. The episode follows the crew as they work to bring a 1966 Amphicar back to its former glory, a project that proves to be much more difficult than they anticipated.
When the Amphicar was first brought to the garage, it was in rough shape. The car had been sitting in storage for years, and much of its parts had rusted or deteriorated. But despite the challenges, the team is excited to take on the project and get the car back on the road.
The first step in the restoration process is to assess the damage. The team carefully examines every inch of the car, making note of what needs to be repaired or replaced. They quickly realize that the engine will need to be completely rebuilt, and that significant repairs will be needed to the car's body, as well.
Once they have a clear understanding of what needs to be done, the team gets to work. They begin by removing the car's engine and taking it apart piece by piece. Each part is carefully cleaned and inspected, and any worn or damaged pieces are replaced with new ones.
Next, the team turns their attention to the car's body, which has suffered significant damage over the years. They carefully sand down the car's exterior, removing any rust or other damage. They then begin the painstaking process of repairing the car's body, slowly rebuilding it piece by piece.
As the restoration process continues, the team hits several roadblocks. The car's engine proves to be more difficult to rebuild than they anticipated, and they encounter a number of setbacks along the way. But despite these challenges, the team remains dedicated to bringing the Amphicar back to life.
In addition to the Amphicar, the team also takes on a few other restoration projects in this episode. They work to restore a 1959 Fiat Abarth, a rare and valuable car that has been in storage for decades. They also take on a 1968 Corvette, a classic American muscle car that has seen better days.
Throughout the episode, viewers get a behind-the-scenes look at the challenges and rewards of restoring antique cars. From the thrill of discovering a rare and valuable part to the frustration of encountering unexpected difficulties, the team at Restoration Garage takes viewers on a journey through the restoration process.
At the end of the episode, the team unveils their finished restoration projects. Viewers get to see the Amphicar restored to its former glory, as well as the stunning results of their work on the Fiat Abarth and Corvette. It's a satisfying conclusion to an episode full of challenges and triumphs, and a testament to the skill and dedication of the team at Restoration Garage.
