G'day Randy, you are a legend. I had owned three of these back in the day. What you did is not easy. I am sure that at several points you were thinking, come on Australia, what have I ever done to you to deserve this. I really enjoyed this video, thank you.
@@AutoAuctionRebuilds G'day Randy, thank you for the nice reply. There is definitely a reason those spark plugs were time travelers from the twentieth century. The job you did was what all Mitsubishi Verada owners feared. These were pretty advanced cars for the '90s. Some years later I had the car that evolved from the Verada as a company car. It was the Mitsubishi 380 and was also quite exceptional. Do not worry about the shitheads on the internet, enjoy what you are doing and stuff'em.
Please grab the drivers seat and the washer fluid reservoir. Btw, I absolutely love this series. The Diamante was a really cool car back then and it’s awesome to see you giving it some love Also, maybe you can get the dimmer switch for the instrument cluster from the parts car to solve the problem
Back to old good Randy!! Great work considering you do everything yourself! If the interior of the junk diamante is so good, take the seats and the roofliner as well! I watch your videos every day. Greetings from Greece!!
Randy, I have always watched your video like how you take time to explain in detail, and was wondering how much you will charge me to look for a good Toyota Highlander 2015 -2020 in a fair condition
If you didn't do it already, since you're going back to LKQ to get the driver's seat, take the instrument cluster too if it has the lower left-instrument light level control too.
Glad to see you doing some real wrenching on a car again, while I don’t love Mitsubishi’s, I found this video to be entertaining. Go ahead and swap that seat out Randy.
I like that you are fixing the Mitsubishi! I so remember these! That parts car wow i would have grabbed the seat but that’s just me! And those classic car at the beginning nice! Randy don’t let people tell you that you don’t work on cars! Great job! Damn what a difference on the dash looks better! Randy i would love too get the diamanté did i spell that right? But unfortunately i live in mass! Can’t wait for the mustang video love mustangs!
The ip lamps are off the TAIL fuse in the engine compartment. I would do some exploration on the u pikit car on the dimmer. The dimmer & wire back to the main dash harness may be worth cannibalizing. Maybe grab the seat, console trim, and washer tank.
This is the type of content that brought me to this channel. Saving these old, neglected, forgotten hoopties is more interesting to me than the copart walk arounds. Don't get me wrong, I love the walk-arounds, but nobody else revives these 80s and 90s cars anymore. I say do a proper engine teardown video of the SN95 failure, should make for great carnage content.
Great content on the Diamante! I'm on the get the seat team! It would make a huge difference! Love these old 90s boats! Regarding the radio...maybe there is an external amplifier or maybe the previous owner wrecked the original wiring? I see that it's got and Infinity system in there...it should sound sweet! I'm sure that regarding the dash lights the culprit is possibly the missing button! Regards from Portugal!
Uberman is back! It is great to have a break from walkaround videos. Your suggestion is great. Do a restoration relay among UA-camrs. Every UA-camr has to make it at least a little bit better.
Really enjoy your series 👍 For the dimmer light when you go grab the seat in lkq check the Diamante there get the dimmer and follow the wires where they go . And to.finish the center console grab the cap holder it will look nice
I really like these cars. It's great that you're giving it the TLC it deserves. That 6G engine is pretty darn solid - it should be a decent car once you're done with it.
My wife’s business requires much of her time to get all of the tax work completed at the end of the year.As many vehicles you buy,I can only imagine what you go through at the end of the year.I appreciate all the work you put into this channel.
To fix the dash lights. Time for some junkyard recon. Go back to the yard, grab the switch. Also while you are in there follow the harness from the switch and see where it connects to the main harness. It will at least give you a good idea of what the end of the plug looks like as well as how long the pigtail extends off the main dash harness.
Definitely worth saving. I own a 03 LS and was in a hit and run a few years ago. It still runs perfectly but needs body work airbags axle tie rod end and seat belts. As soon as I can get the fender support pulled out hood and fender it will be as good as new. Only 182k on it. These cars are known to run forever!
Never heard of the car honestly but I think it's cool worth saving ? Well idk cause I have no idea what it's worth but would be cool to see back on the road so I'd say yes worth saving
Hi Randy. I like the content! You should do a Raffle like LUCKY'S WHEELS AND DEALS,AND CJ ON 32s .and CJ SO COOL, AND STUNNA REESSE.do a raffle like 10 bucks on that Mitsubishi! It would make great content🤔😜😂 i would buy some raffle tickets for it if you changed that front seat 😜
Randy your always coming across these older cars I have such a soft spot for from our “youth”, so certainly enjoy seeing you put some work into this one. My sister has an 08 Galant Ralliart 3.8 278k on all original plugs, timing belt, hoses, etc. Dang tough cars. I’ll do some digging and see if I can find a wiring schematic for the dimmer switch. I’m certainly not a UA-camr but I’d be glad to take her off your hands and see if she’d make it back to central NC, the Mountains on I-40 would certainly be a big test🤣🤷🏻♂️. Can’t wait to see how bad the SN95 is💯
Sorry, not an Australian car. Think the LHD cars were made in Japan. Our equivelant was called a Verada. Diamante was a name used in the US and Japan. Well maintained, these 3.5's are mechanically strong cars and will go forever. The lower spec model we call a Magna, and I still own a 3.0 6G72 engined Magna wagon we bought new in 1997. Still starts first time and is reliable. We change the timing belt every 100,000Km's. I always replace the timing belt/water pump on any car I have no service history on. Ever thought of trying to get a brake master cap from Australia? God knows, I buy enough bits for aussie cars from the US.
I love your videos! I don't have a car, can't afford one! Or need one at this point in my life! I sure love watching you fix them up! I did the same thing 4 times a year here in Oregon, through the '80s and '90s! Buy for less than $1000, fix them tune them up, and sell for $2000 profit! People who would not think of buying an $800 car, will spend $2800, and really feel good about it too! But in Oregon we can only sell 4 cars a year without a license, Do you have to have a license to buy at the auctions? I'm saving up! Maybe turn a few! Thanks again!😆
My stay in the US I drove 3 different Diamantes 1. 97 Diamante from 160 k to 260 k 2. 2001 Diamante from 80 k to 1?160 k 3. 2003 Diamante from 90 k to 200k Amazing car!! only catch is you had to put only mid grade fuel
Next time you decide to do a Diamante just look on any Australian web site for parts and you will find just about anything for the car. As these were built in Australia and exported to the states they were like the GM Chevy SS, never advertised or promoted in the media. They would have really given many American made cars a run for there money and that's what scared motor makers there. There are still thousands of these on Australian roads and a huge car clubs following The Magna and Verada as they were called here as Mitsubishi closed it's factory in Australia in 2008. Me I loved the Magna and Verada cars. They are just so nice to drive
so you no I had a mk2 ESCORT rally car in the UK back in the day 1981 night rally car open roads back then. and yes I had a good roiling road back then called RAT now he was so god. no need for maps back then. just jets 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I really enjoyed this one Randy, just like old times, so I appreciate it. Sorry you’re disappointed with the views. YT is so weird, people have gone on and on about you wrenching more and voila here it’s is….but the views are down? F’d if I know but I enjoyed it all the same 👍🏻👍🏻
I'd say if you are doing this, do it right. Get those seats, they are MINT and you know when you go back someone will have damaged them or they will be gone. That always happens!! Hey if you don't want the hassle and expense just carefully remove the leather covers and foam and transplant them. Do the timing belt. Sort it out properly. You might not make money on the car but you'll have a video series that people will watch to the end and that in itself is an earner. I get how you're feeling about the car. It's weird, it's rareish, it's fun - enjoy!
Randy, did you check the light bulbs in the cluster to see if they were good? It could just be bad bulbs. My Volvo 240 had all the cluster lights out. I checked everything else but the bulbs because i was convinced that all the bulbs could not have burned out. I replaced the switch and the dimmer and still no joy. I finally looked at the bulbs and sure enough all were blown. The reason i think your bulbs are burned out is that the radio display and buttons light up when the headlights are on. If the dimmer was turned down, those lights would also be off
Well for all the haters that say Randy doesn’t wrench on cars.... here you go. It really amazes me how sophisticated this Mitsubishi is. It also amazes me how that car still ran after over 200K on its original ignition components.
My uncle had the same year diamanté in a pretty color called Manhattan Beige I’ve had that car forever he left it to me once he passed away from colon cancer in 2019 and without thinking I had let the car go because it needed work and parts was impossible to find. Seeing your diamanté reminds me very much of my uncles and I wish there was a way I could get this one off your hands and do the timing belt. I have the kit from the diamanté my uncle left me.
Hi Randy after a long time a car is being fixed at AAR HQ. This channel that's how it used to be back then. Great content👍. This looks like Mitsubishi Magna.
poor diamante.. i love this car. mine i have it more than 10 years. and now she in very bad condition 😢💔. i think you need to take the dimmer switch from that diamante in the scrap yard. i believe it's the reason why you don't have dash light. because it's control the whole dash light brightness. if i have money i will buy it from you and rebuild or restore it. but unfortunately am in very bad financial situation. this engine is really strong. and it have a really good tone when you fix the exhaust leak. i hope to see it back to her glory from under your hands. have a good day.
Love the daimantie. Always thought they were neat cars! I'm in kcmo, about to attempt to do a timing belt on my 98 rav4. Praying 🙏 that's what is wrong with it.
Does tune up, almost kills engine and catalytic converter with cleaners. Seems with as clean as heads were inside, valve stem seals were probably redone. These engines were known to have valve stem seals go bad and smoke. As cheap as parts are at pick and pull, seat would be good upgrade. If junk car had a good headliner, still pick and pull parts are cheap.
Hey Randy! Head back to the scrap yard and get the dimmer switch and wiring for your dash and also the front seats. You'll double the value of the car!!
I know I am a little late, Randy however I believe that the reason that your dash lights are not working is it looks like the brightness rheostat for them just to the left of the steering wheel at 12:42 just above the turn signal stalk is missing. The hole for it is on the gauge cluster surround just below the clear lens that covers the gauges. If it is unplugged and missing, the power wouldn't go to the lights themselves. I bet that the other Diamante probably has the switch in it. It might not be a bad idea to go ahead and replace the bulbs in the cluster themselves while you have it pulled apart to replace the dash light dimmer rheostat while you're at it.
My ex gf had a car with this same engine and my sister also owned it previous we sold it with 320k miles original timing belt too I Believe but anyways its still around today 5 years later and I asked the guy was it still the same engine he said yes it now has 510k
The missing rheostat is why the dash lights are dead. Buy that and the seat from the junked car. Also replace the chrome trim on the trunk lid and if the steering wheel is good buy and swap it too. Excellent series on this car.
If you need parts you could get them from Australia but you would be needing to search mitsubishi magna or mitsubishi verada as that's what they are called in the land of aus
I would be very happy to work on and collect the car. Unfortunately I don't live close enough. I do have a channel and it has been growing steadily. Your channel has been an influence on why I created the channel. Sorry to hear about the SN95, she had promise.
Come on man get the seats that would make all the difference in the world I wouldn't buy a car with seats like that but you put those nice ones in there I'd take it in a minute!
Awesome to see this kind of content again why this demonte I will never know lol but cool nonetheless at least it is not an Audi 🤣. I'm waiting on the mustang though.
I would get it in good running condition. You’re not going to paint it are you? It will sell with that old paint. Used cars are fetching top dollar right now.
Hey you randy doin ima big subscribers mane u came a long way love what u do bro keep it up!!!! I love the Mitsubishi I would definitely love to have that !!!
i owned a 98 Diamante im from New Zealand there really nice car i only got rid of mine as it was a weird one with 4wd and it blow the rear diff and i couldnt find one any where
G'day Randy, you are a legend. I had owned three of these back in the day. What you did is not easy. I am sure that at several points you were thinking, come on Australia, what have I ever done to you to deserve this. I really enjoyed this video, thank you.
Thanks man! So much negativity on here lately it’s nice to get a comment like this one.
@@AutoAuctionRebuilds Hey Randy! I went ahead and sent you a link to one of my videos! YOu might like it!
Ready your a good man with a big heart don't ever change or change your videos love watching them

Also, maybe you can get the dimmer switch for the instrument cluster from the parts car to solve the problem
Get the dimmer switch from the LKQ car when you grab the driver seat.
I think he was saying he didn't see the wiring either inside the dash.
It runs and drives and isn't rusted so its deff worth saving and im glad to see some rebuilding again 👍 loves all the vidz
Back to old good Randy!! Great work considering you do everything yourself! If the interior of the junk diamante is so good, take the seats and the roofliner as well! I watch your videos every day. Greetings from Greece!!
Behind the cluster gauge, there are bulbs you can twist out and replace.
This is a good video , Randy . Love to see you working on cars .
Oh yeahh rebuild time, hey randy you got your name back lol🤣
Randy, I have always watched your video like how you take time to explain in detail, and was wondering how much you will charge me to look for a good Toyota Highlander 2015 -2020 in a fair condition
I prefer these vids now days more than the walk a round's now days. I Ty kindly for both flavors of vids tho.
If you didn't do it already, since you're going back to LKQ to get the driver's seat, take the instrument cluster too if it has the lower left-instrument light level control too.

It's amazing to see you working on cars again! Don't get me wrong I love walk arounds at copart
Wow this was a great restoration video can't wait for the next one because that was a ton of work you put into that.
I like that you are fixing the Mitsubishi! I so remember these! That parts car wow i would have grabbed the seat but that’s just me! And those classic car at the beginning nice!

I own a 2004 Diamanté LS
with 292k miles still running strong these cars have great motors & drive train with great pickup & go hp
Sucks that a great video of you wrenching didn’t draw more views. I remember those cars and they’re unique, I was surprised more people didn’t click

P.S. The washer bottle on the LKQ car was in good shape!
Great video Randy and also good work ! To be honest with you with a few more parts of that LKQ diamante I think this will be a very decent car
Liking and commenting to support this project. Great to see you putting the "Rebuilds" into "Auto Auction Rebuilds" Randy.
Uberman is back! It is great to have a break from walkaround videos. Your suggestion is great. Do a restoration relay among UA-camrs. Every UA-camr has to make it at least a little bit better.
Just grab the dimmer switch at Copart when you go back for the drivers seat
Could circuit film on some instrument clusters have a break in metal, powering dash lights?
Grab those chrome body moldings for TK!!
Really enjoy your series 👍
For the dimmer light when you go grab the seat in lkq check the Diamante there get the dimmer and follow the wires where they go .

I had a car just like that, I lived that car! Haven't had a car since that ran as good and as long as her she made it to 385,000 miles
Did anyone else catch that he put the old rotor on it
Nice to see you work on a car again. Enjoyed the video.
Definitely worth saving. I own a 03 LS and was in a hit and run a few years ago. It still runs perfectly but needs body work airbags axle tie rod end and seat belts.

The factory looks a lot better
Never heard of the car honestly but I think it's cool worth saving ? Well idk cause I have no idea what it's worth but would be cool to see back on the road so I'd say yes worth saving

Good work! I’ve always loved these and definitely qualify as an under appreciated survivor!

I get how you're feeling about the car. It's weird, it's rareish, it's fun - enjoy!
If the dimmer switch is disconnected you will have no dash light. Did the previous owner use the dimmer wiring for the "dash LED'S".......
Randy, did you check the light bulbs in the cluster to see if they were good? It could just be bad bulbs. My Volvo 240 had all the cluster lights out.

i think you need to take the dimmer switch from that diamante in the scrap yard. i believe it's the reason why you don't have dash light. because it's control the whole dash light brightness.
if i have money i will buy it from you and rebuild or restore it. but unfortunately am in very bad financial situation.
this engine is really strong. and it have a really good tone when you fix the exhaust leak.
i hope to see it back to her glory from under your hands.
have a good day.
Love the daimantie. Always thought they were neat cars! I'm in kcmo, about to attempt to do a timing belt on my 98 rav4. Praying 🙏 that's what is wrong with it.
Does tune up, almost kills engine and catalytic converter with cleaners. Seems with as clean as heads were inside, valve stem seals were probably redone. These engines were known to have valve stem seals go bad and smoke. As cheap as parts are at pick and pull, seat would be good upgrade. If junk car had a good headliner, still pick and pull parts are cheap.
Instead of hot glue, which would NEVER work in a car reliably. Use UV glue. Learn how to use it and you would find many uses for it.
Love the vids - much more interesting than the auto auction walkarounds - keep it up!
I'd like to see you work some magic on that 65 T bird :)
Damnit Randy your letting me down in 22, I always look for post you reply to but don’t hart because your pissed off Comments are always entertaining
Hey Randy! Head back to the scrap yard and get the dimmer switch and wiring for your dash and also the front seats. You'll double the value of the car!!
You go Randy. Learn on the fly. This old beasts is way cool. Glad to see you working and stimulated again.
I know I am a little late, Randy however I believe that the reason that your dash lights are not working is it looks like the brightness rheostat for them just to the left of the steering wheel at 12:42 just above the turn signal stalk is missing.
The hole for it is on the gauge cluster surround just below the clear lens that covers the gauges. If it is unplugged and missing, the power wouldn't go to the lights themselves. I bet that the other Diamante probably has the switch in it.
It might not be a bad idea to go ahead and replace the bulbs in the cluster themselves while you have it pulled apart to replace the dash light dimmer rheostat while you're at it.
My ex gf had a car with this same engine and my sister also owned it previous we sold it with 320k miles original timing belt too I Believe but anyways its still around today 5 years later and I asked the guy was it still the same engine he said yes it now has 510k
How much are the front seats from the yard? I would think that makes the car look twice as attractive, but maybe they are just really expensive?
The missing rheostat is why the dash lights are dead. Buy that and the seat from the junked car. Also replace the chrome trim on the trunk lid and if the steering wheel is good buy and swap it too. Excellent series on this car.
The Mustang sounds like my 87 when it blew the 2nd gear synchros and grenaded the trans. Looking forward to it!
I love seeing you restore this car. It be a great daily driver for someone. Decent cheap cars are hard to find these days.
Hey listen punk lol no need for a cliff hanger lol making us wait lol I hope your having a good new years and ur enjoying the new house!!! God bless
Great. Back to rebuilding! Love it.
Hey randy you can jump the 2
Wires together at the dimmer switch and the lights will be Full bright but working
If you need parts you could get them from Australia but you would be needing to search mitsubishi magna or mitsubishi verada as that's what they are called in the land of aus
Best advice go to the other Mitsubishi Diamante at the junk yard pull the switch see how far the wires go be best advice I wold give
Good luck buddy
I really enjoy when you breath life into cars like this. Good video!
I would be very happy to work on and collect the car. Unfortunately I don't live close enough. I do have a channel and it has been growing steadily. Your channel has been an influence on why I created the channel. Sorry to hear about the SN95, she had promise.
F"ck the haters randy they just jelous they cant do what they love for a living . Don't let them steal that energy you give off !
Come on man get the seats that would make all the difference in the world I wouldn't buy a car with seats like that but you put those nice ones in there I'd take it in a minute!
Awesome to see this kind of content again why this demonte I will never know lol but cool nonetheless at least it is not an Audi 🤣. I'm waiting on the mustang though.
Exhaust gasket is so very easy to replace! Did it on my 03 Mitsubishi Outlander
great video but is there a reason why you guys don't steam clean the engine before making your changes?
I would get it in good running condition. You’re not going to paint it are you? It will sell with that old paint. Used cars are fetching top dollar right now.
Hey you randy doin ima big subscribers mane u came a long way love what u do bro keep it up!!!! I love the Mitsubishi I would definitely love to have that !!!
That junkyard has incorrect years on both the Buick and Pontiac. It’s a 64 Catalina.
In the early 90' Mitsubishi was a great and advanced company the dilmonta was a head turner back then
If you go and pick up the driver seat maybe Paula cluster cover off and see where the wires goes for year dash lights
O right thats a goodl video for the channel! If u put the seat changes the car completely! Cause is the thing that u use for driving!
Good to see you wrenching on cars again love it keep it up
I wish UA-cam would put on a laughing reaction emoji for some of these comments 🤣
Why dont you swap the instrument cluster from the Junkyard car. Just a thought.
That mustang already had something really wrong with it because those 2v engines can take a beating
i owned a 98 Diamante im from New Zealand there really nice car i only got rid of mine as it was a weird one with 4wd and it blow the rear diff and i couldnt find one any where
Were these the same V-6 engine that they made for Chrysler from 1988-2002.
Get the dash light switch, headliners and the front seats from from the Junkyard car
I've always loved the Diamante. Maybe you can pick up the dash switch when you get the seat from LKQ.
Finally did some wrenching missed the grill and at the junk yard it was litterly pull and go.
Nice video I thoroughly enjoyed it. Keep uploading more like this.
Don’t know why the Diamonte didn’t go so well wanted one when they were new but didn’t happen sorry it didn’t go so well
Randy you should put that pioneer radio back with the proper dash kit it would look better than factory
I'd get those seats, will make yours a lot nicer and worth more when you go to resell.
Good energy bro, wish you were my neighbor.👍🏽keep up the great work.
You could at least clean the valve covers before placing them back. Just a comment
Looking good Randy!!! Definitely get the seat!!!
