In this riveting episode, the team at Tj Hunt embarks on the ambitious task of restoring a 1994 Mazda FD RX7, a car that was once a wreck salvaged from an auto junkyard. Purchased for a mere 7 Grand, this RX7 was a sight to behold - with a blown engine and a mismatched color, it was a true project car in every sense of the word. But with determination and hard work, the team spent a year rebuilding this iconic vehicle, culminating in a special engine setup all the way from New Zealand.

As the dust settles on this forgotten gem, the team faces a myriad of challenges - from creepy crawlies lurking underneath the car to the daunting task of reviving a neglected '90s classic. With a touch of humor and camaraderie, they dive headfirst into the restoration process, uncovering surprises and sharing anecdotes along the way. From dealing with pesky spiders to reminiscing about past adventures with the RX7, the team's dynamic shines through as they breathe new life into this forgotten beauty.

With a keen eye for detail and a passion for perfection, the team meticulously works on various aspects of the RX7, from the center console to the door cards, ensuring that every part is restored to its former glory. They tackle challenges head-on, sourcing rare interior parts and replacing worn-out components with care and precision. Through laughter and banter, they forge ahead, determined to bring this iconic car back to its former splendor, one repair at a time.

Amidst the trials and tribulations of restoring a classic car, the team at Tj Hunt finds joy in the small victories - from fixing cracked door cards to upgrading lights for a brighter, more modern look. With each task completed, the RX7 begins to regain its former charm, a testament to the team's dedication and craftsmanship. As they share laughs and stories throughout the restoration process, one thing becomes clear - this RX7 is more than just a car; it's a symbol of passion, perseverance, and the unbreakable bond between a team united in their love for all things automotive.
