VW Golf

Bernie, Leepu and the Chop Chop team have landed a new commission with Guinness-swilling master of gauche, actor and comedian Johnny Vegas.
He wants a mobile volcano in which he can play batman to solve all the world's ills and which will make him feel as if he's sitting on his gran's lap after she's eaten nine chilli peppers.
Other than that, it's got to be a classic-shaped Volkswagen Golf - albeit an uber-powerful four wheel drive one (Johnny already drives a Golf R32).
Chop Shop mechanics and panel beaters, Julian, Lee and Shaun embrace the project with wild optimism - sourcing the engine and four-wheel drive running gear from a 300hp Subaru Impreza, the like of which has found fame on the world rally stage.
Trouble is, the example they've chosen has been in a major smash - in fact it's the most wrecked donor car they've ever bought.
Have they finally bitten off more than they can chew ?
