Bernie, Leepu and the Chop Shop team continue their quest to build supercars for superstars and next they turns their hands to a Volcano Car for actor and comedian Johnny Vegas.
He wants a ‘mobile volcano’, an uber powerful boys toy that is based on his favourite shaped car, the classic Volkswagen Golf. Johnny already drives a Golf R32 and he wants it to eat his Chop Shop version's dust.
So a four wheel drive monster begins to take shape as panel beaters Julian, Lee and Shaun source the engine and four-wheel drive running gear from a 300 horse power Subaru Impreza. If Johnny wants power, he’s certainly going to get it with that engine.
But there’s a snag, the Impreza they've chosen has been in a major car crash and it’s the most mangled donor car they've ever bought. It only cost £700 but will all its bits work once they're extricated from the wreck? Will the boys be able to fit the powerful four wheel drive Subaru parts into the modest front wheel drive chassis of a VW Golf?
And with Leepu not one to have his designs outdone by the mechanics, he decides to use some artistic license and alter the shape of the Volkswagen, without consulting Johnny…
