Mike heads to Chicago to check out a 1960s Pontiac GTO. The car is in relatively good shape, but there are some problems that Edd will have to address, such as the air conditioning, suspension and steering wheel.

The only rustfree Datsun 240Z Mike can find in his budget is an automatic with a wheezing engine. He buys it anyway, hoping to make money by getting Edd to spice up the engine and swap the auto for a manual transmission.

The DeSoto Firedome, a fabulous '50s coupe, has great styling on its side and one of the first ever Hemis. Mike and Edd set about addressing the damage done by a bad custom job to return some class to the stunning cruiser.

Mike pries a VW 181 Thing away from a collector. Forced to dig deep for the purchase, there isn't much money left for Edd to deal with an engine that stalls, lethal brakes and an uninviting interior with no heater and bad seats.

Pickup trucks are U.S. icons and Mike is keen to get into the booming classic-truck market. He manages to find a 1950s Ford F1, which is an unfinished project. Edd creates a paint scheme based on a sandstorm in the desert.

Mike wants an MGA for the U.S. workshop and tracks down a California car he thinks will be an easy restoration for Edd. But that's not the way Edd sees things and, to make matters worse, he refuses to stick to Mike's low budget.

The AMC Pacer has long topped lists of the world's worst cars. But Mike feels the neglected 1970s hatchback is ready for classic status and he enlists Edd to help make the car cool again.

To stay under budget on a BMW 2002, Mike takes a punt on a car that hasn't been started in 17 years. Coupled with a complicated mechanical fuel-injection system, it's uncertain whether Edd will be able to bring it back to life.

Mike and Edd take a look back at their favorite moments in and out of the new workshop in the USA.
