Two brothers set out to build matching Track Rat Porsches; one lost interest due to lack of funds and time; with a Porsche racing pedigree and a not-so-stock surprise under the hood, Shea thinks this 944 is the perfect project to rescue.
Dan and Shea drive out to Clovis, New Mexico, to buy the holy grail of JDM imports, a Toyota AE86; nostalgia aside, Aaron is skeptical whether it was a good buy, or even roadworthy.
What was supposed to be an unfinished project feels more like a mechanic special; with problem after problem, it looks like this car was closer to ending up in a landfill than laying down 11s leaving the car meet.
Shea, Dan and guest Wiley Stevens get less than they bargained for when a mess of a project car turns up and doesn't look anything like its photos.
With Amir's help, Shea, Aaron and Dan rescue a rust-riddled 1989 Honda CRX from what would ultimately be the scrap pile.
With an always-packed schedule, it turns out that Dan is no better than any other project car owner; he let his C5 Corvette fall to the wayside, but Shea and Aaron give him the final push to get his Corvette out of his side yard and into a car show.
Aaron thinks a stalled RX-7 drift project checks all the boxes; the car has the makings to be a powerhouse drift car, with a surprise under the hood that makes this candidate all the more enticing.
Shea, Aaron and Dan take inspiration from the original owner's plan for a Miata with shoddy welds and complete the ultimate version of what he intended.
This V-8-powered Subaru STI looks good on the surface, but needed a complete mechanical overhaul, with some extra little touches; given Subaru's pedigree, the guys get the build sorted and put it through its paces on the tarmac and the dirt.
Dan, Shea and Aaron buy a fox-body Mustang drag project that was halfway through a turbocharged LS heart transplant; with their eyes set on 700+ horsepower, they attempt to finish it within five days for a local "run-what-ya-brung" event.
Dan, Shea and Aaron buy a stripped-out Mini with a goal to completely transform it in only four days; the boys don't like to lose; they scheme to add an illegal nitrous bottle and disguise it as a fire extinguisher.
This Subaru Legacy already had a lift kit, roof rack and bash bar installed, but the owner couldn't figure out why it wouldn't turn over.
The team takes a short train ride to Santa Fe, New Mexico, to look at a Chevy Silverado 2500 that has an LS transplant; the previous owner wanted to turn it into a Sunday cruiser, but couldn't sort out why it would randomly shift into neutral.
In the season finale, Dan, Shea and Aaron fly to Grand Junction, Colorado, to investigate a listing about a Nissan Skyline GTS-t drift project. In only three days, the guys completely transform this stalled project into a legendary drift missile.
