00:01this time on car sos welcome to the 21st century the ultimate 90s roadster is well past its sell
00:09by date and we got a problem with just a little sensor that's stopping this running or has
00:15something more catastrophic happened tim has a bath fuzz works on his gymnastics this is literally
00:22a balancing act and the stage is quite literally set i know this is not what you were expecting
00:27at all it's lovely to meet you to make another deserving owners automotive dream come true
01:00we're in barnesley south yorkshire right i want to make a statement about what we're picking up
01:05today for us yeah because in my mind this this vehicle contains a piece of technology which
01:12makes this one the single most important vehicle we've ever picked up well we've never said what
01:18it is because today we're picking up a mercedes slk yes at first glance it might look just like
01:26another late 90s midlife crisis mobile but tim's right the slk was a genuine game changer thanks
01:33to an ingenious piece of technology it's folding metal roof because while most of the european
01:40competition were still fitting fiddly damp and smelly canvas roofs that had barely changed in
01:46almost a century mercedes walked in and rewrote the rulebook stuffing so much tech into their folding
01:53metal roof you half expected it to achieve orbit at the press of a button and in under 30 seconds
02:00this practical hard top runaround could transform into a mullet flapping roadster with enough room in
02:07the boot for the weekly shop and some essential hairspray and the slk wasn't just a pretty face
02:13under the bonnet sat a 2.3 litre supercharged engine with 190 horsepower and naught to 60 in under
02:21seven seconds just over a quarter of a century on from their release the exterior of this modern
02:27classic may have aged like fine wine but remember under the skin it's still powered by technology
02:33from an era when flip phones dvd players and these two were at their peak so come on who are
02:39we meeting
02:40today so we're meeting matt today matt is the husband of lily whose car it is yeah okay cool
02:44joanne's going to be there as well who's matt's mom okay cool so lily's mother-in-law
02:54hello mate you all right nice to meet you joanne right is this where lily lives yes is lily in
03:01she's not does she have neighbors that know her uh yes do they know car sos so where can we
03:06go to
03:06hide into the garage can we see the car absolutely is that where it is lots of questions isn't it
03:12right come on everyone in shut the door shut the door come on shut the door oh go on then
03:18come on
03:18you can come as well come on there it is the single most important car we have ever taken on
03:26since the
03:26beginning of all time since the beginning of all things car sos what's funny about that nothing it's
03:31not it's true what do you mean i'm talking about the roof yeah i know you're talking about the roof
03:35talking about the roof i can't see it uh it's down at the moment it's hidden so so is there
03:42a reason
03:42for that it's broken it's broken can i can ask right this car looks like it's been here for a
03:46while
03:47it does does it does it run does it drive no right okay so it doesn't run doesn't drive it's
03:52okay that's it can you and i right us three go out there chat about lily yeah we'll leave you
03:58here
03:58with the car come on let's go come on come on so what we got we've got gouges dents rust
04:07a dodgy
04:09roof and a non-running engine i better go and have a look underneath it just to see if there's
04:15anything good about it oh here we go plastic sills now those are great because they don't rot
04:24trouble is though all the bits that rot are hidden underneath and i'm just having a little look
04:30around here i can see well all the suspension components are starting to go this car is the
04:38best part of a quarter of a century old and with that comes the slippage of time and rot rot
04:47a plenty
04:51tell me about lily what's she got on she's funny she's a social she's gonna make friends in the room
04:56she likes upper room she's one of them people that you know they love her they love her and
05:03magnetic yeah the little mercedes slk beauty in there how come there is one of those in the family
05:10it's a mom's car it's a dad's car a dad would take it everywhere a mom she's mentioned to me
05:15before
05:15about going out with mom in it roof down go out for meals look they just to see it sat
05:22where it is
05:23it's just such a shame there's so many memories in it it's been in the family for that long
05:32now there's a good reason why manufacturers hadn't come up with
05:37convertible hardtops it's because they're complicated
05:40why doesn't it work is it just one little motor is it just a ram is it a small thing
05:46or
05:49is it something far more sinister the interior it does need a good a thorough cleanup
06:00so here's our supercharged engine 2.3 liters
06:04so have we got a problem with just a little sensor that's stopping this running or has something
06:10more catastrophic happen within there that we do not know
06:17so why is it off the road what happened to it to put it in that position so 2017 um
06:24um lily's mom got diagnosed with bowel cancer and then passed forward to 2018 she got a terminal
06:32diagnosis and got given two weeks to live ultimately uh it was just out of the blue just a shock
06:38and she passed away on mother's day
06:43how did that affect lily significantly i'd only known fey at that point for probably a year and i
06:52could see the relationship just fantastic so lily loses her mom lily loses mega mega close to her mom
06:58yeah and then from cancer and then within three months of that lily's in the hospital being told
07:05she's got cancer sorry all right you're doing great she said
07:16what come on come on you can do it oh if i die she said that yeah
07:29luckily the early it was the early stage we'd caught it it's cancer but it's treatable
07:35you couldn't write it it's just it's just literally they've literally just got over one thing and then
07:40something else has been thrown at them yeah how old is lily 35 35 that's enough bad luck for anyone
07:47and i'm sure anyone watching this will go that's more than enough please tell me that i'd love to
07:51tell you that but you know so her dad bruce um he got bowel cancer please don't start talking about
07:59this guy in the past tense as well yeah yeah he sadly passed away
08:06so she watched her mother pass away she got diagnosed with cancer herself
08:10and then she watched her dad pass away as well she did
08:16i'd like to think we're done now i think we've had enough for one lifetime well let's make damn
08:21sure let's inject some good news yeah let's do something good and hopefully that'll be the start
08:25a spiral of good things yeah i just want her to to be able to make the memories and have
08:31memories with
08:31it that she's had in the past it's one of the last things they've got she's got of her mum
08:35and dad
08:37if not the only thing so where does she think it's going today she thinks it's going to my best
08:41friends liam's and he's he tinkers he's good with his hands and he's good with cars he's good with
08:45anything so the the story is he's going to take it and diagnose it and then myself and him are
08:49going
08:49to go and periodically do some work on it right so here's the deal i'm going to leave but it's
08:55getting
08:55done it's happening it will just be the best thing that's happened to her in seven eight years
09:07yes this little slk is a treasured reminder of lily's mum and dad so the boys can't afford to let
09:14her
09:15down go on put your back into it okay that'll do it but with rust eating away at the bodywork
09:22a
09:23lifeless engine and a fiendishly complicated roof packed with turn-of-the-century tech
09:28they're staring down a monumental challenge so i'm going to do you a deal here right okay listen what
09:36i'll deal with the rest of it i've got the engine i've got mechanical issues underneath and rust of
09:41course as well so i'll deal with all of that you deal with the roof i've owed loads of convertibles
09:48yeah this is the first iteration of the most complicated one of all i have no experience
09:53fixing these things not yet i think it's very important that you get your head around this
09:57because this is one of the most major advances in car design ever
10:07the boys have got their hands on the ultimate turn of the century grown-ups toy a mercedes slk
10:15i can't believe that we're doing one of these cars surely they're new no no we're just really old yes
10:23on
10:24top it might not look it but this little beauty is almost a quarter of a century old right come
10:29on
10:30however underneath it's aged about as well as these two
10:36wow oh and let's have a quick look at the front of here at the moving components oh the suspension
10:40the springs the calipers everything is absolutely not just surface rust it's actually deep ground in
10:47horrible rock yes it might not look too bad at first glance but there's a couple of real whoppers
10:54standing between the boys and lily's beloved car being back on the road first up the engine issue
11:00the slk's power plant was cutting edge at the turn of the century but so were downloadable ringtones
11:06and look how well they've aged so is this the return of the millennium bug or a good old-fashioned
11:12nuts and bolts problem under the bonnet then there's the folding roof tim's so adamant about its
11:18importance to the world of automotive engineering that fuzz is leaving him to it so will it just need
11:25a software update or is something more sinister at play finally the suspension currently the slk springs
11:33and shocks are groaning louder than fuzz's knees after a long day in the workshop so it's going to need
11:40some brand new kit on all four corners and if they do manage to complete all of that it's going
11:46to need a
11:46full respray and original deep black paint to cap it off but before the team can get to work on
11:53that
11:53rotten body work fuzz needs to work out why the engine's currently refusing to boot up we know it's
11:59an on-runner but why i think we need to get some electronic assistance on this and since he thinks
12:07bluetooth is something that requires a trip to the dentist he's called in some tech support welcome to
12:14the 21st century and here to help us we have john who has brought in some specialist equipment so
12:20that we can try and diagnose whether we have an electrical fault that's preventing the engine from
12:27working so where are we at with it right now well first hunch will be this unit here okay so
12:33what's
12:33that in there there's five relays inside of here so the relays are like a remote switch so rather than
12:39having power going all the way through your switches in the dashboard you just get the major power going
12:45through those and they switch on and off when needed yeah okay cool so what can we do to check
12:51that out we can plug it back in and we can physically hold the relays over okay and see if
12:57we get any comms
12:58hey maybe we're going to get an almost instant winner out of this problem solved happy days
13:04after all these years you think he'd know better so john's going to bypass the module's automatic
13:11relays by manually flipping the switches one by one hopefully bringing the car's systems back to life
13:17right what do we go i think this one will be the horn yeah yes okay this will be i
13:24think the fuel pump
13:25yeah well something's struck up there we've got some comms with the engine ecu now but still
13:31nothing with the transmission and nothing with the abs so john's going to replace the 40 module with a
13:38new one but will it do the job all right let's see uh let's see how we go give it
13:45a try i don't hold
13:48that much we're here we've got a runner problem solved our happy days so while fast comes to terms
13:59with the fact a computer just did most of his job jim's off having a smashing time
14:08as he demonstrates the history behind how mercedes created their game-changing metal roof
14:14ha ha look at it using nothing more than an old scrapper he's found in the yard some power tools
14:21and more than likely the first aid kit right so late 1800s and early cars were basically just
14:28open carriages there was no roof there was no covering at all the horse had gone
14:31and they had an engine but there was a problem everyone got soaked so skip forward about another
14:4010 years and they brought out this so to stop everyone getting wet they basically just slapped
14:47a massive pram top on top of the car and before you know it you had kind of the first
14:52convertible
14:53but the thing about this car is that it didn't offer any sort of safety protection at all
14:58so the next thing they did was this well something that looked a little bit like this
15:04called the louder let which was popular in the early to mid 20th century the idea was
15:08we're beginning to see metal creeping over the head of the passengers in this car but those in the back
15:14well if they were the vips they could enjoy either the sun with the hood down
15:19or have the hood up if it's raining but the problem with this thing was it actually it wasn't
15:24structurally sound they were kind of dangerous by the mid 1930s it was the french who took a crack
15:31at the folding hardtop problem and typically they did it rather stylishly
15:39the peugeot eclipse a work of art the world's first retractable hardtop roof very similar to what
15:49i've done to this one and i'll show you how it worked now their one was powered you could press
15:53a
15:53button this one's not quite the same i haven't had time but similar operation opening up the boot to
15:59create space to put the roof in like that there we are and then the roof folds back like this
16:13like that and then the whole lot fits neatly into the boot like that yeah exactly like that tim now
16:25the thing is the technology was incredible but the problem was people didn't want to buy them they were
16:30overpriced they were complicated to use and they only sold a handful but what it had said to the world
16:35is there is a need for a retractable metal hardtop convertible so while tim attempts to replicate
16:42decades of precision engineering with little more than guesswork and gaffer tape fuzz has discovered
16:49john's high-tech solution might have revealed an old-fashioned problem that's more up his street
16:55i can hear a little bit of bagginess at the front there i'm wondering whether that is the timing chain
17:02the timing chain is a bit like the chain on a bike but instead of turning pedals into wheel movement
17:08it keeps the engine's valves and pistons perfectly in sync as i turned the crank as you can see
17:18the tool is dropping down and if i keep going around that should start rising again as the piston goes
17:27up
17:27the bores and that sound that fuzz heard could be that there's some slack developing in the chain
17:33and if that's left unchecked it could jump a tooth on the sprocket leading to a catastrophic engine failure
17:40so i'm now releasing the tension on the chain by undoing this and once i take it out the chain
17:48should be
17:49nice and slack now i've got to be very careful that i do not drop these bolts down inside
17:57because if i do then i have to remove all of the front of the engine and the sump one
18:03false move
18:04and it all goes horribly wrong
18:09right i'm going to use this chain link splitter now the idea is that this pin pushes the link pin
18:20out and
18:24through there we go one of the link pins out right there we go and what i'm going to do
18:34is i'm going to draw the new chain through using the old chain as i turn the crankshaft
18:40yes with a little glamorous assistance from daryl the two chains can be joined together and then gently
18:47fed around the crankshaft now have you sure you've got the tension on that yeah until fuzz has both
18:54ends of the new one in his mitts okay so we are now winding it through
19:08thanks daryl i can do it from now cheers mate so that's our chain together now so what i need
19:15to do
19:16is reassemble everything and then well then we've got to see if it runs and that should be one major
19:23step closer to lily's car being back on the road now all it needs is a roof and let's hope
19:29he's not
19:29planning on fitting that one in 1996 mercedes finally worked out the way of storing
19:39the equivalent of all that metal in the boot of the car and although other manufacturers had pulled
19:45that off before it was the boffins at mercedes who turned it into the must-have automotive accessory
19:52what's a nut to crack and if you doubt me well the list of manufacturers that once mercedes had done
19:59it
19:59decided to copy were peugeot lexus vw mazda ferrari mclaren vauxhall porsche chevy dayatsu and the list
20:08goes on that's how stonking it was that's the potted history behind it the trouble is that's
20:15brought him no closer to working out what's stopping lilies from moving it's that down there
20:22if we just can get a signal to that that hydraulic pump there will send the fluids to operate the
20:27roof
20:27but before it says yes you can operate the roof there's like this long handshake going down of every
20:34little sensor every micro switch everything's saying yes i'm good i'm good i'm good yes i'm good
20:39we'll operate the roof and until he identifies which one's the problem the roof is staying put
20:45ah i thought it was you oh it's not tim right i need the roof to be working today okay
20:54this has got
20:55to go into the paint shop i i'm i'm deep in the zone at the moment i know kind of
20:59know how this thing
21:00works i'm sorry it's not going to be working by the end of the day well because
21:04we cannot paint the roof now that's going to dictate how we're going to have to put this car
21:08back together
21:13tim and fuzz have taken on this 2001 mercedes slk 230 a little roadster with some big memories attached
21:24it's owned by 35 year old lily who inherited the car from her parents faye and bruce
21:29after they both tragically passed away from cancer
21:34and if that wasn't heartbreaking enough lily's been diagnosed with the disease herself meaning
21:40she's been unable to maintain her beloved sports car which has spent more than a year locked away in
21:46the garage with a number of serious faults i just want her to be able to make the memories and
21:52have
21:52memories with it that she's had in the past since getting their hands on it the boys have been on
21:59a
21:59mission to make that dream a reality with some technical assistance fuzz has tracked down and fixed
22:05the electrical gremlin that was stopping the engine from firing up by fitting a replacement module and he's
22:12also stuck on a brand new timing chain to ensure things run smoothly well into the future elsewhere
22:19the tired seats and interior have gone off to the specialist trimmers for a deep clean repair and repaint
22:27the rotten wheel arches are being cut out and rebuilt but it's not all good news tim's stumped by
22:34the high-tech roof and there's the matter of replacing the rusty suspension components
22:40so the paint job's on hold right now lily believes her car's being sorted by a family friend but that
22:47excuse won't wash forever and to pile on the pressure matt and joanne have arrived to inspect progress
22:57here it is oh dear oh my god it actually looks worse than it did you're never going to get
23:02it finished
23:03it's half a car we're really close aren't we to potential reveal day and this just looks like a wreck
23:12we have done work we've done it work on the electronic side of things uh but also on the engine
23:18but the one thing that's letting the side down at the moment is progress on the roof tim has only
23:24one
23:25job and that is the roof this is progress yeah that is stagnation we're going to get the car done
23:34leave that to us can we talk about lily yes so we need something big to give her the car
23:40back what do
23:41guys do in terms of you know something which she wouldn't be sus of going to but we can bang
23:48gigs
23:49theaters that kind of thing would that be a good opportunity to catch absolutely yeah yeah she wouldn't
23:55have a clue so with just five days to go before they plan to hand lily's car back to her
24:02tim not
24:03only has to find a west end show willing to play host for the big reveal he's also got to
24:09figure out
24:09what's gone wrong with the roof and there's only one place left that can help crack that mystery
24:16you know what i've been thinking about this one job i've got to do of fixing the roof on lily's
24:20slk
24:21how do we do it where do we go how do we make that happen and then it suddenly dawned
24:26on me uh what
24:28about here let's hit it yes one job sure is taking the brat by the burst look at this place
24:37it's called
24:38the cathedral here at mercedes-benz museum but look at that what even is that yeah me and you in
24:44one
24:44now let's do it come on he's jumped on a plane direct to the birthplace of mercedes
24:52that thing would cost you 12 million squid if you wanted to buy that and home of their global
24:58headquarters located in the car cradle of germany oh wow stuttgart that is an absolute treat to see
25:07the year is 1886 and this thing believe it or not is actually the first car like ever and the
25:15top speed
25:15of this thing was 10 miles an hour and you might notice it's missing something yep a roof
25:22yes a bit like lilies then 1893 this is the ben's victoria people in the back they stay nice and
25:28dry
25:28wet in the front very similar to the multiplier let's hope fountain of slk wisdom tobias walberg
25:35tobias yes it's lovely to meet you has the answers tim so desperately needs
25:40i mean it is a wonderful piece of engineering when the company makes something like this and
25:44they think they've got it what sort of testing procedure is that the rooftop they tested it for
25:4920 000 times they opened and closed it 20 what 20 000 yes and not one car but 30 cars
25:56they tested
25:56well all they're all that in a big line doing that exactly and when it was successful the test
26:01then the car went into production into the customer and is that because never until this
26:07date has a company managed to make it commercially viable so when you were going to release it to
26:10the world it had to work exactly this is the reason why was it popular if you walked into a
26:15dealer could you just go and buy one like that what was the deal of course you can but
26:18you have to wait for two years because the waiting list was so long two years two years exactly in
26:24the beginning is it fair to say then that this little teeny weeny car is of huge scalable significance
26:31yes this is more than fair to say because it was milestone in the in the history of mercedes-benz
26:37small little car a great success but before we go to the roof yeah let me show you the boot
26:43of the car the boots the boot yeah come on why do you want to show me the boot of
26:47the car
26:50right so the boot works and the storage space yes you got it okay i've got it okay so let's
26:54close it
26:55and now we open the roof this is what i've been waiting for this is where we go from a
27:00hard top
27:01coupe into a full convertible the windows go down hang on stop stop i get why you showed me the
27:09boots
27:09did you notice that because the boot opened like a normal boot hinged here by my elbows but now the
27:15roof's going down somehow the engineers have worked that way for hinging what okay that's impressive
27:24it is oh it's a robot it's beautiful it's like mercedes-benz ballet mercedes-benz ballet god that is
27:34incredible to see and just to check it still works right can we talk about lily's car the problem that
27:45i've got on that roof i have done what i can and i've checked what i can but i cannot
27:49get it to even
27:50start working one small detail you may have to check again yeah um it's uh related to the abs
27:59anti-lock braking system is for the brakes right that's got nothing to do with the roof when the abs
28:05sends a signal to the ecu of the roof it needs a speed signal that the car is not running
28:12faster than
28:13five kilometers per hour it gets the speed from the abs that signal goes through to some ecu somewhere
28:20that goes yes we're below five kilometers per hour allow the roof to go up and down yeah but if
28:25that
28:25speed is not being sent to the abs it thinks whoa we might be doing 100 kilometers per hour do
28:32not
28:32allow the roof down exactly so the abs what control module or what i'm confident yes thank god i came
28:38to germany you're welcome when was the last time that you had a strange hug from an englishman
28:44sorry come here come here you don't know what this means to me man seriously
28:51yes tim may have made a new special friend and got to the root of the problem
28:55but now we're just three days before the reveal father's run out of patience
29:02my niece must here we're so far behind we need to get this car painted so i've been looking online
29:08and i've
29:08found a solution which uses this there's a way of manually raising the roof apparently
29:17yes when your other tool disappears off to germany and lets you down it's time to swap tim for alan
29:25alan key because to get the perfect finish on the paint job everything needs to be sprayed at the same
29:31time all i need to do is undo this here just to release hydraulic pressure
29:40is it going to yeah okay
29:47ah yes look at that here we go hold on up it goes
29:57there we are well at least now we can get the car painted brilliant but we've still
30:05got a non-functioning roof but hey that was a useful little tool wasn't it yes unlike his partner in
30:15crime so with the roof now accessible the car can take another big leap forward by heading off to the
30:21sprayers for a fresh paint job leaving fuzz to tackle the final big job i'm absolutely delighted that
30:29we've got our new suspension components because i want this mercedes to look as good underneath as it's
30:36going to look on top so all of the original worn out and rust covered components are being replaced
30:41but before fuzz dives in it's time for a quick car sos crash course on how it all works straight
30:49from
30:49the walking haynes manual himself what we have on a car is two sorts of weight one is sprung weight
30:56now that includes the body shell the seats the people inside the car the engine the gearbox everything
31:05that is attached directly onto the body shell all bouncing on this spring but then everything that is
31:13below the spring is not sprung the wheels the brakes the tires all of that it's unsprung
31:22and that unsprung weight is trouble because when the car hits a bump all that mass bounces around which
31:29can make the tire momentarily lose grip on the road definitely not what you want on your sporty little
31:35mercedes now there are components that help the unsprung weight stay in contact with the road so it
31:42doesn't bounce around uncontrollably now the main component there is the shock absorber without the shock
31:52absorber inside the car very quickly it might start going a bit green it would be like a boat on
32:00choppy water
32:02so now there's our shock absorber helping to control the unsprung weight at the bottom keeping it in
32:10contact via the tire and the wheel with the road above us our spring
32:17is holding the body and the engine all those components and others inside the car and giving us
32:24a nice smooth ride
32:34and without all of these components working in unison things can get pretty hairy and exciting on the road
32:42so now well might as well attach these onto the car can't have built it
32:53the international fully mercedes-brained playboy returns come on then jet set right what you found
32:59out the abs so the abs does the job of sticking the brakes on to stop it sliding right stop
33:05it skidding
33:05but it has another job to sense speed yeah and if the car thinks because that's broken the abs control
33:11module is broken if it will prevent the roof from going down okay fantastic right so it's the module
33:17you reckon it's the module i reckon it's the module where is it here go on then it's landed where
33:21here
33:22the module's here a replacement module is here right well nothing has arrived here i can tell you nothing
33:27has arrived here i've been working around here all day so we are still in the same position you had
33:32one job
33:33you've been all that way all that way and you've come back without it but there's a bigger problem
33:40on the horizon tim's lined up a very special west end show to surprise lily at but the tickets she's
33:47been sent are for tomorrow so while he crosses his fingers the missing module arrives in time
33:53the rear axle is ready to be raised back into position oh this is literally a balancing act
34:07right okay we are roughly in position so what we will do now is drop down these arms insert the
34:17rear
34:17springs and start actually doing the final fixing of this rear axle assembly and while tim's killing time
34:26waiting for the replacement module fast has decided to keep him busy with refitting the interior have a look at
34:33these so these have been massively refurbished for me the color the smell the texture of a car is all
34:41nostalgia and i really hope that when lily sits in it she's she's taken back to some good memories
34:53that's the first piece to go right
34:57we're just fitting the center console to the car here and i want to show you something the button
35:03to operate the roof and look what it is it's a mini hardtop i mean it just rubs salt into
35:08this wound even
35:09more yes with the team frantically reassembling every nut and bolt time is running out for tim's missing
35:16module to arrive yeah hi i've got a parcel that um was supposed to be delivered today by midday
35:23let me put it this way i absolutely have to get my hands on that today
35:29honestly this is catastrophic for us
35:38it's at the hub the hub the hub okay could you go there no it's in the hub in their
35:44system somewhere
35:44and i can pay to get it re-delivered possibly to get it re-delivered possibly to a different location
35:50tomorrow where to the theater the theater so that means that we are going to give lily her car back
36:03and there might be a chance that the hood is stuck down so while the team burn the midnight oil
36:09doing
36:10what they can to get lily's car ready for its west end debut come tomorrow it might be curtains for
36:16tim
36:16this is the first time in our history that this has ever been so close to the wire
36:26it's taken a whopping 700 hours of fault finding grinding repairing and renovating
36:34and still the roof's not fixed you had one job you had one job do you know what you had
36:43one job
36:44yes and he's not even managed that because reveal day is upon us and the missing abs module is still
36:51missing i've been waiting for this for weeks but in true west end fashion the show must go on

41:28with a roof that simply wouldn't budge from the boot
41:33but with a sprinkle of car sos magic the boys have bought it back to the future
41:39outside the rotting wheel arches have been rebuilt the body resprayed and just in the nick of time

42:41we've hung on to it for so long and i was just really worried when matt told me that
