So Wes, just remembered your comment a few months back that Mrs. Wes's RAV4 was just about 100% rusted through. So possible candidate for the new (to her) ride for the Mrs.?? Think it'd be cool for you to be a customer of Scott's and he's kind a close to you right?
I was using your favorite tool before you were born. In 66 I T-boned a car with my 59 Impala bubble top. A few weeks later I saw another 59 that had been T-boned. So with the X frame, the body of the T-boned 59 was toast but the front clip and frame were fine. My front clip and frame were also toast. I picked the T-boned car up on auction for a few hundred dollars. I had to use your favorite tool to get at the front clip bolts. But at 16, I put two totaled cars together to make one for a net cost of $75 after selling what was salvageable from the parts car (engine/trans, glass and a door and trunk.
I love watching you work and hear you narrate what you're doing. I wish other channels would do the same, but most talk your ears off and then do a little bit of work and then talk more. Also, thanks for picking on the clean-freaks as well!!
Thanks, it is easier for me to film the work and narrate it later. My main goal is fixing cars, not making videos. That is where the difference comes in.
I agree that Scott's videos are the best. I look forward to watching them every Friday. And I watch them again during the week to keep my good cheer while I wait
Scott I think what I enjoy best about you doing this work is you make it look so easy. And I know for you since you do it all the time it is easy. You understand the process and you understand what you need to do to get to the results you're looking for. But to people like me who don't do this for a living , it kind of looks like magic. You take something that was destroyed and written off, and turn it back into a functional machine that anybody would be happy to use because you put your fingers all over it made it good again!
Bought a 92 Bronco that had 10 garbage bags of empty beer cans (Coors light), $10.00 worth of loose change, extra parts for a total brake change including a rotors, and a half a tool box worth of tools. Winning.
Great video! Those cutaway shots on the trailer unload were awesome. We knew exactly what u were doing at every step without sitting through 8 minutes of unstrapping and unloading. Great editing sir, and as always the subtle humor and wit are funny!
This video had everything we could have asked for! Plenty of Mr. Spotty sightings, the favorite tool made its presence known, nice jabs at the Safety folks, and a bit of vacuuming for the cleaning fans. I especially enjoyed the different camera angles showing the scrap metal making the journey to the “pile”. Looks to be another top quality rebuild/repair. Can’t wait for the next installment!
The scrap yard could put slip on extension lifts on the forks as to not damage the underside of the vehicle when loading it on your trailer , whether it be a parts car or rebuilder! Amazing and baffling how people get in situations that destroy there vehicles , even if it’s a accident, today’s cars are not that hard to drive ! Great skill and work ethic , mr spotty gives enough support and direction to see the project threw . Enjoy and be inspired by your video!
Watching you unroll the rear quarter reminded me of my first new car. I had a 1976 Toyota Celica. Made the first payment on Wednesday, ran into a gal on a bridge on Friday. I broke her tail light on her 68 Buick Skylark. I was missing an entire right front fender. I couldn't find it anywhere. Went to my next appointment, and as I was coming back to the car I saw a little tiny bit of white (it had a reflective white stripe on blue) about a quarter way up the passenger door. Yup, I had rolled up the entire fender and stuffed it under the passenger door.
This should be mandatory viewing for most body shop guys. In my experience there aren't many out there that are willing to replace quarter panels. They seem to rather get a huge amount of repair hours to fix (get it close and bondo) or like in this case total it and send it down the road.
My wife and I drive a 2018 Rav 4 so it was interesting to see how similar this one was to ours. We are in New Zealand and the US model has a lot of differences, not just being left hand drive. The whole console's different and our model has mag wheels for a start.
What do you want to bet the reason they crashed was the crappy tire tread in the rain, also I would definitely take a look at the maintenance stuff engine oil transmission fluid etc. Anybody that leaves the interior of their car looking that crappy probably isn't doing any other maintenance. Great video definitely enjoyed watching you work on it.
My first visit. Tyre depth 3/32 ! Over the pond we've measured tyre depth in metric for ever! At 8.05 when you pulled with the slide hammer l know l would have cut through at the fuel flap , drilled all the spots out ,carefully removed that section and "given it a go !" If someone says to me that won't repair that's a red rag to a bull ! 😂😂 Air chisels have been banned in body shops over here for 40 years +. I see many videos of so called body specialists but l can see you know what you're doing . A very pleasant change . Thanks . Going to have a gaze at the Corvette. Cheers!
that scream coming off the trailer threw me off lmao. i love seeing this channel grow and the quality has really improved over the years and old or new its still really enjoyable watching these
DAMNIT! Where is the Bondo!! Also, you need to send Mr. Spotty off with the Afternoon Crew to cross fit; just point out to him in the contract the health and fitness clause.
Hello from Los Angeles ,I really admire your job I wish I can have your availabilities to fix this vehicles is an art ! Watching you every night hasta la vista!
I'm new to watching your videos and I want you to know your doing an excellent job at filming and making these videos. Continue to do what your doing and I promise you will reach over a million subscribers because of your great content. Thank you my friend for your time and effort into producing these videos as they are very entertaining
and heavy rubber floor mats to cover floors. headliners were doomed though. opps i remember when auto s and trucks came with rubber floor coverings damn they were completely washable, we've taken giant steps backwards
I agree and electronics that are much to sensitive. I live and work in South Africa and 90% of my car trouble are wiring or computer. And not rodents but bad roads.
@@vehcor I remember the F**d Torino wagon when dad was stationed at Leavenworth. Out the back of the base, there was some undulating road that made riding in the back.... interesting. Except my brother- he loved it back there. One day, we had to go out that way. Jim had eaten more than his share of Froot Loops. We tried to tell dad "take it easy!". That only made him go harder. That was, until all of a sudden the back of the wagon exploded in Technicolor. After that, dad took it easy on that road.
Of course someone's been there before. Someone used this car like an appliance. Fix it enough to look decent. Oh and I hope those hubcaps make it to the pile.
Another great build/video to look forward too! Please clone yourself (and Mr. Spotty of course!) and open a West Coast Division. Lots of rust free candidates out here and locals can't drive worth a crap either!!! Glad to be a happy customer!!
3:09 As much as I admire your dedication to repositioning the camera and getting every step of your work in a shot and all the editing that must take, don't you think the one of just putting the prop rod in the hole in the hood was too much? :) It was good for a laugh at least.
You still had easier cleaning than the used minivan I bought. 4 and a half hours cleaning and carpet steaming alone. There will never be eating in there again though.
i find your vids very interesting as in this day of replace-a-part. Many body shops tend to right the vehicle off because they tend not to learn how to knock things back in shape keep up the good work mate yes i am from Australia and this is becominh the here as well
Gummy worms are the worst! I hate it when I get a car that the parents let the kids have gummy worms or any gummy crap. All mashed into the seat tracks, seat belt mechanisms, UGH! I also wanted to let you know that I did a bunch of mods on my trailer based on what you did with your PJ. I was able to run the battery charging cables on the last auction car I picked up and it was wonderful to fire it right up when I got home instead of having to jump it or put it on a charger for a couple hours. Still have to wire up my LED deck floods and an LED light inside the tool box. Maybe today if it's not freezing out.
A bit different than the 2007 I have. The left rear arch midway up the door to halfway across the wheel well has rust that I want to repair, but would have to buy the entire rear quarter just to get the 18" of arch needed. Maybe I will stitch weld in a patch instead and beat it to shape. Mine doesn't have any flares or other plastic parts to remove so looks quite a bit different.
The person who is reading this comment i wish you great success health love and happiness i am from morocco have a good life for everyone here God bless United States of America ☺💟
Is the inner fender well crumpled from some previous accident or was I just seeing things, it looked like there was something that you could see on the interior shot as well as from the outside??? Once again, love the no bs fix!!
I never understood picking the car up with a forklift. Is it like hey the car has damage anyway, what more is some crushed exhaust and fuel lines etc...?
3 hours working on the car, 6 hours editing the video!
Yep, creators understand the struggle!
All worth it
So Wes, just remembered your comment a few months back that Mrs. Wes's RAV4 was just about 100% rusted through. So possible candidate for the new (to her) ride for the Mrs.?? Think it'd be cool for you to be a customer of Scott's and he's kind a close to you right?

If I'm ever buying a rebuilt title car, this is the type of guy I would want to buy from.
I’m sure I haven’t mentioned it before but I love that pneumatic can opener
Me too!

If the air chisel was not the first air tool invented after the compressor, it should have been! 😂
Silver duct tape is almost a perfect color match!
Toyota certified repair tape!
@@vehcor no thats antirodent tape that is Toyota certified!

I'm a retired panel beater, did it for forty two years, can't believe I'm watching this but I do miss the trade... Hi from the UK,
Sometimes it is fun to watch and see how others do the same thing in a different manner. Greetings from the USA!
My first thought was, "I wonder how much damage the forklift driver did?".
You don’t know anything about rebuilding cars then. The only way cars get transported on these auction lots is from the forklift
@@algsoccerstar That is true. It’s also true that the forklift drivers often cause damage to the vehicle.
Typically just scratches in the bottom, if any.
Man you are working mr spotty hard today, he's everywhere.....it's that new contract he's too keen...
He is working as he should.
Scott I think what I enjoy best about you doing this work is you make it look so easy. And I know for you since you do it all the time it is easy.

You crack me up with you snide remarks about the Mustang.
Always enjoy watching another man

I got in at #665. That's a nice low number for once. I hate it when the video gets all old and scratchy - and skips. Nice new video! Thanks.
Fresh videos are always the best! 😂

Maaan, listening to you gives me the sense of Boot Camp. Straight hard talking - barely any subtlety.
Flex tape for the win!
the color match on the "body fix it tape" was spot on!!!
Vehcor and Mr Spotty are gonna throw down one of these days,it’ll be a bigger fight than Rocky and Apollo!
What do you want to bet the reason they crashed was the crappy tire tread in the rain, also I would definitely take a look at the maintenance stuff engine oil transmission fluid etc. Anybody that leaves the interior of their car looking that crappy probably isn't doing any other maintenance.
Great video definitely enjoyed watching you work on it.
I had flashbacks of the A-Team intro watching the cut views of you removing it from the trailer. I re-watched it with the theme song playing. Epic....
One of my favorite shows and intros!
TGIVF - thanks for my weekly quality fix!
Thanks for the support!

These repairs seem small when you do them but they are 5-6000$ repairs in a shop and you do it right
I look forward to Vechor Fridays
The detail guys needs a raise!
you remind me so much of my high school shop teacher. especially with the "Bitch Mittens" part
Back before everyone was afraid of everything, I presume. 😂
I can tell you know what you are doing and care about the outcome of your work. Keep up the great work.
Thanks for the support!
I love the trailer unloading “yelp” tribute. Lol
this. i was dying lmaooo
I like your mild sense of humor. Funny but not manufactured to the point of being stupid. Thanks for that.
Tape Lives Matter! Had to go there!
If this isn't more 2020 then I don't know what is😂
Does the color of the tape matter? 🤔
@@vehcor All Tape Color LIves Matter. : )
@@bcool4068 - Hey, be careful. Talk like that will get you in trouble with the silver tape matters supporters. lol
Mr. Spotty needs a bling upgrade from masking tape to HVAC tape!!!
that scream coming off the trailer threw me off lmao. i love seeing this channel grow and the quality has really improved over the years and old or new its still really enjoyable watching these
I literally watched the whole video with a smile on my face...

I liked the quick cut trailer unloading sequence
"Effective but not if you want to put it back together."
Your humor....its the best....I literally laughed out loud!

Ok everyone, just admit it. You screamed along with vehcor as he drove off the trailer. I did.
There is a special drillbit just for spot welds. Saves effort and grinding.
Kind of odd that was deemed a loss. Guess there is not a lot of value in 2015 Rav 4? That's a long way to pick one up. Looking good buddy.

15 gallons of bondo😂😂 this sent me rolling! Great video! Also the editing is🔥
I did such a good job with the duct tape, I may only need 10 gallons! 😂
Mr spoty looks extra happy today.
Darn, you pulled off the tape! I wanted to see the 15 Gal of Bondo. ROFL
You do amazing work with a touch of humor and sarcasm.
Thanks for sharing.
Vehcor Day!! I actually turned one of these down make me regret it brother!!
They are easy sales but hard to find a good deal on.
on my older cars I upgrade. I use plastic garbage pail pieces to replace steel like they do on newer cars. no extra bondo weight needed.
😂
Actually not a bad Deal
Enjoy watching your videos and the quality of work you do and even enjoy your jokes just waiting on more of the amazing work on the mustang
Good job, looks like it will be a easy flip. 👍👍👍
Thanks, it should be, these are very popular.
Saw that inspection sticker then you mentioned Virginia 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
Great video and...the duct tape repair on the quarter was a good color match!!
As Usual I loved it but too short see you next Friday
But lets be honest, an hour long video would still be too short! Love Fridays!
Sorry, I don’t want to bore people into a coma. 😂
Woo hoo.. been waiting all day. Have a great weekend! Thank you for sharing
I too look forward to boring build Fridays! Great thing to watch when finished work for the week.
I liked this video because I like to see good work. Not because you told me to.
😂
Dang your camera and editing skills are improving!! I like the cinematic shits in this one ☝️
Nice video. But I can definitely see why they totaled it.
Good editing Scott, you’re getting fancy!! I agree with you the interior is probably why it was totaled. 🤣
It takes a long time to film just a few seconds so I don’t always have the time for that.
also thank you for having the amazon page with tools used on there!

Nice to see a craftsman working. Do you see a lot difference between the car company's and the build quality. Toyota versus other brands.
Top tip: tape from bottom to top for shingle like water shedding.
15 hour drive? Did you make it part of a vacation or ??
Duck Tape and Bondo works great every time my friend !
About time you got a Toyota they sell fast
Scott, cleaning would be a good job for the afternoon crew. Assuming they are still employed.
They are not.
Yeah! Thanks for the update and the new video. FRIDAY
very satisfying to watch, keep em coming
I like that slide hammer that things up Beast always enjoy your videos awesome video
More quality work. Is there a rhyme ore reason for using the trailer support jacks? vehicle weight?
On the lighter vehicles like this, they aren’t really necessary. I suppose I should probably use them but I’m lazy. 😂
More Toyota/Lexus please! They are the best vehicles!
Also makes them overpriced and not always worth the work.
I never understood picking the car up with a forklift. Is it like hey the car has damage anyway, what more is some crushed exhaust and fuel lines etc...?
Same here ...it could get pricey too ..such as the Hicas and Super Hicas Systems in the Nissan's ..those steering lines are ULTRA EXPENSIVE !
Love to see the Mustang again
looks like you back is healed, careful man, backs are trouble.
Dude you deserve more subs! At least 500k
My luck the transmission would have been bad. You had me on the duct tape thing. 😂🤣😂🤣 Looks good so far!!👍👊💯🙂
Every once in a while you get an expensive surprise, part of the job.
