VW 181 Thing (S12E07)

S12E07

The Volkswagen Thing was developed in response to the German Army's need for a lightweight military vehicle in the late 1960s. VW designed a practical convertible that resembled an upside-down bathtub on wheels, but savvy marketers saw potential in selling it to the public as a quirky, four-seat beach buggy. Unfortunately, many of these vehicles have succumbed to rust, making it rare to find one in good condition today. Mike successfully acquires one from a collector but has to spend a lot, leaving Edd with limited funds to tackle a stalling engine, dangerous brakes, and an uninviting interior lacking a heater and comfortable seats. Can they transform this Thing into a profitable flip?
