In this riveting episode of Donut, the team tackles the daunting task of uncapping a worn-out cion FR FRS, focusing on its bodywork woes. From overfender cuts to a smooshed front end, the car's ailments are laid bare for all to see. With manual precision, they embark on a surgical journey to address these issues, navigating the delicate process of removing parts held in place by Riv nuts. The team's dedication to craftsmanship shines through as they eschew power tools for a more analog approach, ensuring a meticulous disassembly.

As the layers are peeled back, unexpected discoveries unfold, revealing foam in lieu of proper welds and a meticulous cleaning process to prepare the metal for welding. Amidst the challenges, the team showcases their resilience and resourcefulness, utilizing a wire wheel to achieve pristine surfaces. Meanwhile, the mention of Shopify injects a moment of levity, showcasing the team's savvy business acumen in navigating the tumultuous waters of Black Friday. Their commitment to quality extends beyond the car's bodywork, reflecting in their choice to preserve the car's structural integrity during repairs.

With a keen eye for detail and a touch of humor, the team unearths the previous owner's haphazard attempts at bodywork, confronting excessive silicone and subpar welding with finesse. Through strategic grinding and meticulous application of seam sealer, they breathe new life into the car's body, ensuring longevity and protection against corrosion. The welding process, complete with different wire thicknesses and careful preservation of the car's rigidity, underscores the team's dedication to excellence. As they seal the car with precision and attention to detail, Donut's team proves that true craftsmanship transcends mere repairs, elevating the cion FR FRS to newfound glory.
