In a triumphant return, Tj Hunt unveils the rebirth of his iconic 1965 rb26 Tokyo Drift-inspired Mustang after an agonizing 8-month hiatus. The car emerges from the paint shop with a jaw-dropping engine bay that exudes power and finesse. Adorned with cream and Porsche Irish green stripes, this Mustang underwent a meticulous full restoration, with every panel meticulously replaced due to shoddy prior workmanship. As the team delves into customizing the interior, the clock ticks down to the looming SEMA show deadline, pushing them to install the rb26 drivetrain within a mere 72 hours.

With the clock ticking, the skilled team, including the knowledgeable Mark from rad Industries, dives headfirst into reassembling the Mustang. Their focus sharpens on integrating the engine, transmission, and essential fuel components. However, a hiccup emerges in the form of a leaking clutch line, spewing brake fluid and halting progress. Despite the setback, the team's resolve remains unshaken as they tackle challenges like kinked hoses and missing grounds, striving to overcome each obstacle in their path.

As the team races against time, issues continue to crop up, including a missing ground connection that delays progress. Despite these setbacks, the team soldiers on, addressing each challenge with determination and expertise. With the finish line in sight, the Mustang stands poised for its triumphant return, ready to roar back to life with the rb26 drivetrain at its core.
