In this epic saga from Mighty Car Mods, the team delves into the depths of automotive despair with their latest project: a beaten and bruised Nissan Skyline R32 GTR. Purchased four years ago, this once-majestic beast now sits in a sorry state, requiring a Herculean effort to restore it to its former glory. The team unearths a plethora of issues, from a bent bonnet to rust-ridden panels, showcasing the car's tumultuous past.
With the support of Castrol Edge, the team sets out on a mission to revive this iconic Japanese sports car, facing challenges at every turn. The exterior of the R32 GT-R is a sight to behold, with cracked rubbers, a dysfunctional boot, and a back end held together by a makeshift latch and a humble cable tie. Inside, the car's stripped-down interior reveals a lone bride seat and a set of pedals, hinting at the car's former racing glory.
As the team grapples with the car's nightmarish wiring and attempts to coax the engine back to life, they enlist the help of Charlan from Hazerati to assess the car's restoration potential. With rust and extensive damage plaguing the vehicle, the team faces an uphill battle to breathe new life into this automotive legend. The journey ahead promises to be fraught with challenges, but with determination and expertise, the Mighty Car Mods crew is poised to turn this automotive underdog into a roaring success.
