The easy thing to do would be to give this a 7 and move on; say automotive and makeover reality TV fans will eat this up; say once you’ve seen one you’ve seen them all. But Resurrecting Rides does stand out as lighthearted and accessible for people who may not be its primary audience. It feels like bantering with old friends and funny without forcing any bits and weird editing decisions. Crucially, it also makes use of satisfying visuals in the planning and side-by-side phases, and nothing too stupid happens to the cars. Just a satisfying and rewarding watch overall, whether you take interest in the niche or in Pimp My Ride nostalgia.
