In this episode of Donut, the team takes on the daunting task of resurrecting a 1984 Isuzu Impulse that has languished in a garage for decades. Facing a myriad of challenges such as the absence of aftermarket support, a missing title, and the looming specter of a smog test, they dive headfirst into the project. Delving into Isuzu's history, from their humble beginnings in trucks to the innovative design of the Impulse by Jaro, the team uncovers the unique story behind this forgotten gem.

As they roll up their sleeves and get to work, the team confronts issues with brakes, bushings, suspension, and a rusty, unusable gas tank. With determination and resourcefulness, they source rare parts from Japan and tackle each obstacle head-on. Along the way, they showcase the resilience and creativity required to bring a neglected classic back to life, shedding light on the challenges of working on a car with such limited production and aftermarket support.

Amidst the grease and grime, the team's camaraderie and unwavering dedication to the project shine through. From the painstaking process of cleaning out a clogged gas tank to the meticulous work on brakes, shocks, and springs, every step is a testament to their passion for automotive restoration. As they navigate the complexities of reviving a car that defies convention and expectations, they embody the spirit of automotive enthusiasts who refuse to let a lack of resources or mainstream recognition stand in the way of their love for cars.
