Mat Armstrong, a daring car enthusiast, embarked on a thrilling challenge to rebuild a nearly new Aston Martin db12 with only 29 miles on the clock in just 24 hours. The car, found at a crash-damaged auction, presented a mystery with its unexplained damage, possibly from a transporter mishap or a rough encounter with a ditch. Despite the low mileage, the car showed signs of a failed road test, leaving Mat puzzled about its history.
As Mat delved into the car's intricacies, he encountered a stubborn Pyro fuse issue that prevented the car from starting. With a diagnostic tool struggling to communicate with the Aston Martin's systems, he resorted to creative solutions to bypass the blown fuse temporarily. The discovery of damaged fuel lines, engine mounts, and other components underlined the extensive work needed to revive this luxury vehicle.
The team's disassembly revealed the car's inner workings, from damaged radiators to bent seat rails and blown seat belts. Challenges mounted as they realized some parts, like a seat frame, couldn't be ordered separately, requiring innovative fixes. Despite setbacks, the team pressed on, aiming to restore the car to its former glory within the tight 24-hour timeframe, showcasing their determination and expertise in the face of adversity.
