Xinhua arrives at the workshop with a Chinese dowry box, which she now uses to store her make-up. Traditionally, a bride would arrive at her marital home with a dowry box containing money or gifts. Xinhua’s mum had it when she got married and then passed it to Xinhua for her wedding. Xinhua’s three daughters love playing with the little doors and drawers, and Xinhua would love it to be transformed into something special for them. Carpentry expert Shelley and metal specialist John offer radically different designs to choose from.

Remakers Rob and Titch love cars, so when a vintage 1950s Ford Popular comes to the workshop, they are both extremely keen to get their hands on it. The car belongs to Mike and is an unfinished project that he and his dad worked on for years. Now it’s rusting away, but Mike can’t bear the thought of scrapping it. Can the remakers come up with a design that will save it and give it a new purpose?

Metal specialist Titch wants to transform the silver-plated stand into an item that Pauline can use every day, while keeping her memories alive. Show less
