      Scott does USA spec repairs. Have a look at the channel Arthur Tussic , for Eastern European spec repairs. AT does excellent work however the YT experts panic when they see some of the straightening he does. Realistically, even if the cars he fixes doesn't preform in a crash like factory , they are still far better than crashing in a Trabant. See the channel Aging Wheels for a non crashed Trabant.

    A "Tip" for when you break into a brake system - bin the caps, jam a bit of wood/proper brake depressor onto the brake pedal - once it is half/a bit more than half depressed, no more fluid will leak from any open line-joint. Saves a lot of drippage/mucking about/bleeding.

    😀It must be very satisfying to think back about all of them and know that you fixed all those cars/trucks/SUVs and that most of them are still on the road? And I guess you earned a few $$$ back selling them. Hm... you got me wanting to get a V8 before I "kick the bucket". A fixed up newer Chevy SS or a Pontiac G8 GT/GPX (without active Displacement On Demand) would be nice. But at the same time the fuel/gas prices are crazy expensive over here now, and the price will only go up as time goes.
    The big trucks you have fixed also look very nice. But I kind of like wagons (we have 2, 5 cyl. Volvo "wagons", an old crappy V70 gas-powered and a newer XC 70 AWD with "serial turbos" diesel which is still rather nice) but I guess the Australian Holden wagons (som have V8s) are all Right Hand Drive. Some crashed UTEs have been imported to the US and rebuilt using crashed LHD G8s or SS cars to make them into LHD UTEs/small trucks. Those were "teased" but newer imported to the US as new cars.
    I guess I can import an older Corvette or Camaro V8 from Germany but they wount be exactly cheap either.
    I've seen some new C8 Corvettes for sale over here which start at more than $110000...

    As the California driver of a low milage, garage kept Lexus, I find your work quite disturbing...yet strangely fascinating. That rust however, is nightmare fuel, it belongs in the same category as black mold.

      High failure rate, maybe hitting them with a car is the fix. 😂 🤷🏼‍♂️

    There’s a Blue-Green metallic Pontiac g3 at a Copart auction in Chicago. Or at least there was, until Copart’s website decided to shit itself. Maybe that could become a future video series? It’s not as cool or fast as a g8 but it’s still a pretty good looking car.

    There is definitely a Russian in the Sacramento area watching this learning how to put a Lexus back together right now
