Having scavenged a car engine, a fan and sprocket, plywood panels and tarpaulin, the Bright Sparks have everything they need for their build. But their complex design is labour intensive and the team waste time. With 96 air bags to stitch together, military trained Richard is the best man for the job and begins a stint with the sewing machine. With only two hours remaining, the team battle to mount their engine on their precision-built craft.
