Garage Squad Season 1 Episode 8 Cady-strophic

In season 1 episode 8 of Garage Squad, titled "Cady-strophic," the squad is called in to help save a custom 1960 Cadillac Convertible that has seen better days. With a classic car like this, there are always surprises lurking, and the squad has their work cut out for them in this episode.

The car's owner, Mike, had bought the car with the intention of restoring it himself, but he quickly realized that he was in over his head. The car was in very poor condition, with rust and body damage throughout. Mike had started to work on it himself, but he quickly realized that he did not have the skills or the tools to bring it back to life.

Enter the Garage Squad, a team of expert mechanics and car enthusiasts who come to the rescue of classic car enthusiasts like Mike. The show's host, Bruno Massel, introduces the squad and gives a brief rundown of what they will be doing in this episode: restoring the Cadillac Convertible to its former glory.

The squad begins by assessing the damage to the car. They notice that the car has been previously painted in a non-factory color, and it looks like the paint job was not done well. They also notice that the car's engine is missing some parts, and they will need to track down replacement parts.

Next, the squad disassembles the car so that they can start repairing the rust and damage. They remove the doors, trunk lid, and hood to get a better look at the car's body. They also remove the seats and carpet to check for any structural damage.

Once the car is stripped down, the squad starts repairing the rust and damage. They cut out the damaged metal and replace it with new metal, welding it in place. They also repair the body damage, filling in any dents and smoothing out the surface of the car.

While the squad is working on the body of the car, they also start working on the engine. They find replacement parts for the missing components and do a full rebuild of the engine. They also replace the transmission and suspension components.

With the body and engine work complete, the squad turns their attention to the car's interior. They replace the carpet and seats with new ones, and they also replace the convertible top. They also install new audio equipment, including a new stereo and speakers.

The final step is to paint the car. The squad chooses a classic Cadillac color, and they do a professional paint job on the car. They also add custom pinstriping to give it a unique look.

Once the painting is complete, the squad reassembles all of the car's components and starts it up for the first time. The engine roars to life, and the squad takes the car for a test drive. It handles beautifully, and the squad is proud of the work they have done.

In the final scene, Mike comes to see his newly restored car for the first time. He is overcome with emotion when he sees it, and he thanks the Garage Squad for all of their hard work. The episode ends with Mike driving off into the sunset in his beautiful, restored Cadillac Convertible.
