Loved the engine bay work and rear end too. So much effort involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That rear end and transmission combo would be capable surely? Just turn it up to 11 etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unlikely to happen on that turbo or a stock motor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't hide this but at the same time I would have much preferred this to be over a few episodes rather than crammed into one video. they crammed it in quite well but I feel like this is completely different to the original mighty car mods. all that being said I am stoked at the results they got and I think that is a real achievement.
