In this episode, the Donut team embarks on a quest to find the ultimate $7,000 project car, scouring the market for hidden gems among the rough. From a twin-turbo BMW 335i to a purple Hyundai Genesis Coupe, each contender comes with its own set of challenges, including high mileage, body damage, and mechanical gremlins. As they meet with owners and test drive the cars, the team faces the daunting task of choosing the perfect candidate to transform into a masterpiece.

Amidst their search, the history of Mothers polish unfolds, showcasing a brand that started from humble beginnings and rose to prominence in the automotive care industry. With a keen eye for detail, the team inspects a heavily modified Nissan 350Z, uncovering issues with the widebody kit installation that could spell disaster for the unsuspecting buyer. Moving on to a Toyota FRS with body kit damage and neglectful maintenance, they stress the importance of thorough inspections to avoid purchasing a lemon.

The journey continues with a Dodge Charger sporting oil leaks and mechanical woes, raising concerns about its long-term reliability. Finally, they encounter a G37 with quarter panel damage, highlighting the challenges of repairing such extensive bodywork. Through their adventures in the world of project cars, the Donut team educates viewers on the pitfalls of buying a vehicle without proper scrutiny, emphasizing the need for caution and expertise in navigating the car market.
