BUILDING A CHEAP Z06 Corvette Into A Vette Kart
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 бер 2024
- My 2002 Chevy Corvette Z06 lives again but it's the roughest out of the 20 or so I've owned... so it's time to take drastic measures. We're going full go-kart, removing all the body panels and interior so it can go for one last drive!

With as many broken/ruined/missing items in this car parting it out was the best choice!
You know how I know I'm not right in the head? I'm a service advisor. So I spend 9 hours a day watching mechanics work on vehicles. Only to come home and watch youtubers work on vehicles. I should not find this entertaining but I do. This is probably a cry for help lol.
You don't have the professional attachment to UA-camrs, though so you can relax while you watch instead of stress out while you're watching your guys work 😅
I work in parts in a dealer. I also watch techs work on cars, but watch videos of people work on cars WHILE AT WORK 🤣
Your content might sometimes be normal, but what really catches us is the good times almost as if were there with you, mood is always as bright as a the sun brother. Much success and all the best!
It sounds like you taken a death trap off the road seeing how badly it was rebuilt

Time to rebrand the channel as "JR's Chop Shop"
GTA Online edition!
It’s called Go Recyclers
Lmao i swear this channel is getting so weird switching up the vibe one day jonathan ross goes and buys good cars and other day he just chopped a entired car just for for content 😂😅😂😅 lmao
That sucks I really wanted to see it restored. Oh well
I knew it wasn't long for this world lol. This wasn't a nice classic you saved from the crushers, it was a cobbled up mess that will give life to at least a few other corvette owner's. Eric has gotten more entertaining since he started working with you over at the mini resort, you guy's are funny. Chop some, save some, but in the end, a profit is what you need to live on. Yesterday i got a sweet deal on a 1954 M138A1 jeep willys with the F134 hurricane engine, and the sealed 24 volt wiring all intact, with just a couple really small holes to patch on a solid body. This thing was bought from the governot year's ago, and just driven in northern Michigan in the summer, and never street driven by an older guy who passed away a few year's ago. The outside of the body was painted a dark maroon color, but will be going back to the original military color. I have been looking for one of these for year's, because my grandpa's were in wwll, and my grandpa let us drive a 1967 mule around the farm, and for awhile had an old military jeep he drove around on the farm, but later sold to an uncle, who then sold it again. All the body tags are still on it, and the hood still has the warnings painted next to where the shovel mounts. Anyway, your happy, and so am i lol. G-d bless.
Not overly keen on the disparaging remarks about parting out this particular Vette. Salvage title that was originally cobbled together after a major side impact; clear the car wasn’t safe to drive to begin with. Glad to see it being a donor to get other vehicles back on the road instead - right decision. Glad to see you’re able to make some understandably profitable moves John to ensure your audience can see more H2’s and other cool cars back to the channel.
If you upload it - I watch. You do you.
The spectrum!!!! My mom had one when I was a kid. It was turbo charged from the factory. I’ve been looking for one for 3 decades and have never seen one like it again.
Remember, he’s the bond villain, he warned you you did not see the spectrum!
Spectrum was my first car. Given to me by my uncle with 220k, thing was a champ. Drove it for a year then sold it to a friend who drove it for a few years. Would not die
I haven’t missed a video since the mini resort series. Really come to enjoy the content. Respect the grind
Best possible outcome for the Z06. There's enough hoopties in the world.
Really enjoy the breaking cars videos, very interesting to see how much can be made and the technicalities and logistics of it, don't know why more channels don't do these videos, more please.
By not talking about the GEO Spectrum. You in fact were talking about the GEO Spectrum! You'll be hearing from my lawyer, Saul.
No one was watching my Corvette kart so it's time to go. Next week, I've got a Corvette I'm turning into a kart!
The corvette videos killed it, but I bought it to part out, I bought every car this year except the Mercedes to part out 😂
Heck yeah! just what I needed some watch JRGo!
Right on time 💯
Woah woah woah woah woah..... woah... a SPECTRUM? My first car was an '85 Chevy Spectrum with ZERO options. $500 with a small oil leak. Let's talk about the Spectrum. I also can't believe how many people are upset about a trashed Vette getting parted out. What was he supposed to do? Put ten grand into a 4 grand car to have a car worth maybe 10k that still isn't in great shape? Some of you don't think things through.
Bondo... James Bondo.
Geo spectrum = Isuzu imark. Ww used to have a front clip of one in our high school auto mech class. This platform was changed to the Isuzu stylus/impulse geo storm. Fun little cars
It felt like a Mazda 323 when I jumped it it, def not a normal GM product
@@WatchJRGowhy would you tear up a Corvette like that?
Most people will die and never be able to afford one ...
And y'all just out here la de da cutting em up......SMH
@@clevelandmaker386 are you joking? Anyone could have bought it if they wanted to and you need to go watch the first video where he showed it, was practically totaled.
@@eamon1648 no ...IM SERIOUS AS HELL ABOUT CARS...IM A REAL MOTORHEAD ...and let me tell you something..... I don't know what world your living in ..but in this country...not everyone has opportunites in this so called "land of opportunity.....what a joke and not even a funny one
Land of opportunity....yeah right!...
For the white and the crooks ....
I'm am a motorhead...and these... people tearing up cars and driving the price up is part of the insipid greed of this country...
Then want to play aww shucks behind their clout and connections... WELL I DON'T FALL FOR IT...I .... KNOW...THE ..TRUTH...
wake up...
No, Mr. Bond. I expect you to die….Goldfinger, 1964….great movie!
How is the house renovation coming on?!?!?!
What’s happening with the house renovation? (Where the new shop is I mean) thanks
One vette saving many others
From what I know LS6s are getting hard to come by in good shape, and that engine sounded pretty healthy, transmission definitely needs some work, other than that the drivetrains solid, R.I.P C5 ZO6
Makes me want to do this stuff here on the ranch.
That Vette was shaken and stirred
Not only don' t they make them like they used to, but they never did.
I checked out the parts for sale and don’t see the Z06 cluster or the rear brake vents and ducts?
Takes a bit to list all the parts, they’ll be up! 🍻
@@WatchJRGo Thanks for the reply…I assumed they might have been sold. I will keep my eyes open for them.
Any house updates? Like the new content.
At first I thought “oh great, another Corvette cart” but watching the video it all made sense. He will make a profit and that is good. In the condition that Corvette was in, it would be a money pit These parts will help other Z06’s live on, so there is another plus
How is the house coming along?
Huge missed opportunity there. Opening the vid with the Bond line was great. So naturally the next step should have been using the N64 Goldeneye pause music to play during the fast motion portion of the vid.
I think it’s copyrighted but it’s the best track ever 🔥🔥🔥
Welp there goes another z06 off the road
Welp is not a word
@@mds2465someone doesn't Midwest, welp *slaps thigh* guess Im about to head out.
The parts keep others on the road.
Not like it's a classic, and at least a few other corvettes will come back to life. A rebuilt title corvette is not something i would want to drive with my family. They will chop some, and fix some, but making a profit to live on is what he has to do.
Pitty…😢
This is the best plan, considering its condition. Sad for the car, but understandable.
The buyer is probably building a Factory Five GTM or some other corvette based kit.
good choice to part out the vette.
This video would have gotten more views if the Geo Spectrum was the featured vehicle 😅
The abs pump is a problem to get in Norway new😅🇧🇻
"Is this for UA-cam or something" 😂
I see a lot of sellers on eBay using Greyhound to ship large car parts...
Was ist mit dem Boden im Shop? Endlager für Teile oder was. Du brauchst Regale. Grüße aus dem Saarland.
JR dieing like Goonsquad lmao!!!
Im not about these part out cars its kinda just sad to not see it fixed and on the road like new. Seems like a copout
Y'all have kind of done the Vette thing to death at this point. How is your house coming along?
Yes, I'm trying to buy and part out every C5 on the planet 🌎
Good Evening John Ross
Hey Douglas! 🍻
Worth it in parts at least👍
Oh yeah, C5s are the ticket 💯
@@WatchJRGo. Well (NOT) really, if you are not working on vehicles that you got in your possession. Like for instance the very rough body Camero, or the ls swapped Rolls Royce.
Almost like it would have been great content for a youtube channel or something...@@WatchJRGo
new name>>> here we go> lmao
Put the ls in the redline lol
Crap! I would have come to KS and bought it as is before you tore it apart!
Vette Cart!!!
At least you made some money on the deal and now you can move on to the next project!
The Vette Kart was inevitable. 😂👍🏻
I was INEVITABLE 🫰
@@WatchJRGoindeed! One meeeeeeeeellion dollars. Lol
Rip. 11:56
Wait. *You* bought that Spectrum? I won’t spoil it for anyone who doesn’t know, but I was trying to figure out how to sell that idea to my wife when it disappeared from marketplace.
I didn’t buy it but I’m sure you know who I’m holding on to it for 😛
That Geo doesn't belong to you ... yet!!
Hey
🥉 yo Ryan!
You know I get it but it’s a Z06 kind of hurt my soul a little seeing it taken apart
Cletus macfarland might buy it he got stripped vet called Leroy now it dragg car
You should sign that headlight cover and send it to him.
He's a youtuber not a celebrity of any kind, although he does resemble Jim Carrey from dumb and dumber with that botched haircut. Sign a hundred-dollar bill and send it to him then it will be worth something.
@@speedyg2577 it’s a joke way to get rid of some trash. And the dude said he wanted it.
thing did have a rough life
Come on bro it needed work but it would have been an epic rebuild series that’s really disappointing and it’s a C5 Z06 it’s rare
I really hope this means this one is getting a proper off road suspension as well lol
Rip Corvette
Sup "hey"guys
I thought you were going EXOTIC? channel.
Thank god something interesting!!! Now fix the Rolls lol
What's next ?
Yo
Yo!! 🍻
Noiiiiiiceeee 🤘🏽🔥😊🖤
Please don’t start being that channel that makes clickbait titles. You’re better than that.
You need to rebuild a Porsche 928 with C5 engine and its parts.
I just know I never want to work on another stock 944/928 😂
No lol
LS swap the Mini. I dare you.
Where’s the Cobra?
He got rid of it....said he hated it...I wanted to see that finished myself
@@mikemartin2423 that sucks. I was hoping to see more videos and progress of it.
@@DaveScout87 yea me too...I've had 4 sn95s...two cobras and two gts...they make great drag cars
No no no!!! Enough with the karts! Dude this is what kills your channel man. Rebuild it .
This car was trash, no reason to dump money into a salvage title car 🤷🏻♂️
@@WatchJRGo Since when does one become so obscenely arrogant that they think they can both love a Corvette and combine that with a logical approach to financial decisions...who do you think you are? I want to see more irresponsible spending on cars you love and having it work out anyway.
Agree, if u had money to dump on expemsive shops, resorts and house, u sgoukd have rebuilt it, ur channel needs to have a long term rebuild then some fast builds to keep your channel interesting, look at alex legitstreetcars chnnel, he doesnt post videos everyday but for me i look forward every weekend for his videos to come up coz he keeps it interesting and not just buying junk cars which u said ur gonna stop. Your channel has been stuck with 300.000 plus subcribersand its taken you years to get that when u should have over a million subcribers right now if u just improve your editing and content
@@WatchJRGo Love you bro and appreciate the response, just an outside looking in thought. Best of luck, I still liked and I am subscribed. Keep moving forward!
You didn't watch the video??
Whoever is watching this video, I hope this day will be a great day.😇
Nice , doin it roadkill style
Lmao i swear this channel is getting so weird switching up the vibe one day jonathan ross goes and buys good cars and other day he just chopped a entired car just for for content 😂😅😂😅 lmao
😐
Close to 1st?
Close! 💯
no
All because of a bad owner who shouldn't of touched it and his 304 of a ex gf
Another part out. Spare me.......
Dog that's bull sh%$#t that car still runs out of all the other junk cars😮😮😮
I'm out. I'll be back when there is building or fixing.
jr go back to what made this channel great yes everyone want to make a buck but you had a great channel till now i don see the salvage market really taking off like it did and i am a dealer
Yay another vette cart! Your losing me buddy!
Jr.... why is eric always working and you are just standing around with your lil camera?? Huh why ...... why????
This channel sucks now
Looks like this is back to being a junkyard channel, I'm out!
LMAO, I love how you were apparently back for 3 days 😂
JR you are all over the map. I used to enjoy your channel but I am realizing you are grasping at straws. Unsubing.
I have made the same videos for 5 years, it’s a channel about my life, nothing else.
I hate to brake it to you JR, I am not the only one who thinks this way. Starting a parts salvage resell business out of your new home for someone with your potential seems wierd.
no part out videos for me. I dont want to watch you make money
How “original”.
Cringe worthy. Bad decision.
Lmao, I bought the car to part out, it’s the right decision from beginning to end 💯
Hey
🥈 yo George!
@@WatchJRGoyo JR!
Hey
Look who decided to join us! What happened the other day?
🥇 boom!
Back in the pole-position tonight I see.
