Overhaulin’

Generally considered the most realistic of the car makeover shows, this has a familyfriendly feel, although complete restorations in seven days still seem far-fetched.

Talented car designer Chip Foose conjures up a new look for the cars, based on suggestions from the owner’s friends and family.

Virtually every aspect of the customising is shown, often with clear explanations as to why certain parts are chosen and how they’re fitted. Muscle cars form the majority of the cars getting ‘Overhauled’ but some European sports cars and 4x4s have been done.

Most of the cars end up fully customised, although a handful have been fully restored back to factory condition.
