Boxster wanted this truck so Theodore and Matt took time off from their Matchthebox garage to give it a thorough inspection.

Once done, they had it towed back to their place to get it restored replacing worn out and missing parts including new engine and tires.

Matt and Theodore were wondering why he would put everything together but did not restore the body at all. Boxster indicated that he intended this to be a functioning work truck.

Inspecting the truck Boxster figured there are still things he needed to add.
