Tim and Fuzz travel to Stroud in Gloucestershire to take on a 1973 Hillman Imp which has been abandoned for decades. The car belongs to former NHS theatre nurse Margaret, and her beloved nickname ‘Tin Lizzie’ was her pride and joy until it started to need a lot of work to keep it on the road.
By the time Tim and Fuzz take the car on it has rusted away so badly it's barely a car. See how the doors are reassembled, the cars electrics are plumbed in and the gearbox is fitted. Then there’s the engine, now fully rebuilt and upgraded. But in a rush to get this finished in time and everything running to plan, there is still one doubt in the Car S.O.S workshop, will the engine start?
