Mat Armstrong's daring purchase of a crashed M3 sets the stage for an automotive saga filled with challenges and triumphs. The car, bearing the brunt of a house collision, displays a laundry list of damages, from deployed airbags to a smashed rear screen and cracked windows. Despite the daunting task ahead, Mat's team dives headfirst into the project, aiming to unravel the mystery behind the crash and assess the car's roadworthiness.

The team encounters obstacles at every turn, from starting the engine to maneuvering the car into neutral due to a lack of oil. However, their determination pays off as they successfully start the engine, revealing its robust condition. Further inspections unveil a bent rear trailing arm but no significant subframe damage, hinting at the car's potential for repair. Using specialized tools like a tram gauge, they meticulously check the subframe alignment and rectify the rear wheel's position, showcasing their expertise in automotive restoration.

The enigmatic circumstances surrounding the car's crash into a house add an intriguing layer to the narrative. Mat's meticulous analysis of the crash site and absence of tire marks on the grass fuel speculation about the car's trajectory.
