With a steely determination, they tackle the challenges head-on, including welding in a new frame and redesigning the entire build. The camper truck takes shape with a back habitat box, integrated tables, and a sleek modern facelift that would make even the most seasoned car enthusiast nod in approval.
But as the team gears up for the final touch - a coat of paint - they encounter unexpected hurdles. Mistakes in the build process lead to wobblies, a term that would make any perfectionist cringe.
