Where are they now? An old build returns with a problem.
It has been a couple years since I finished the rebuild on this once rust-free GMC Sierra. It is back now with a check engine light. Is it something I did or is it just a GM truck? Since it is here, we can take a look at the repairs and see how they are holding up to the Illinois winters. I'll show you how to diagnose and repair this common failure.

Tracking down an intermittent misfire on a Ford Escape that runs fine every time I get it.
One of my customers brought me a 2009 Ford Escape that only breaks when he is driving it. Since this is the second time back and I don't want to continue wasting time and money I need to do something to find a solution to the problem or at least narrow it down. Let's see if my idea works and what it will take to fix this little guy. For all the Ford fans that like to tell me GM cars rust worse than Fords, I have included proof that you might just be wrong about that.

Pulling the frame rails back to spec and fitting the new parts on the fox body Mustang GT
The Mustang is finally back on the frame rack for some pulling and measuring. We already cut the donor pieces off so if we can get the rails in the right place we can fit everything up.

Removing the engine from the 1993 Mustang GT so we can work on the frame rails
Today we are removing the engine from the 1993 Ford Mustang GT convertible so that we can do some work on the engine itself and have some room to work on the frame rails.

How I picked up a car shell with no front suspension, without causing any damage and no fancy tools.
I found some parts for the Mustang build but there is a catch. I have to pick them up from a house using only my trailer and whatever I bring with me. I have an idea, more of an excuse to fabricate stuff. Let's see how my idea works out. If we don't destroy the parts we need in the recovery process, we can get them pulled off and ready for our build. If you need any parts from this Mustang you can send me an email. vehcor1@gmail.com or through my website link below.

Rebuilding a clear title Acura RDX fresh from the dealer lot
Some brand-new parts have shown up for our brand-new Acura RDX with only 800 miles on it. Let's get it back together and see if the hood is indeed still good.

Rebuilding a totaled Acura RDX fresh off the dealer's lot
It has been a while since I have had a rebuild this new. Technically the first owner was the insurance company after they paid it off. What could be better than a build with less than 900 miles, and an easy repair? Oh yeah, the fact that it still has a clear title! Let's get into it and finish up what someone else started.

Rebuilding a totaled 1993 Mustang GT convertible with engine damage.
We don't find too many clean fox body Mustangs around Chicago anymore so when this one came up for auction, I jumped at it. It is one of the most desirable years for the fox body as it has some 1993 only options and was the last year before the SN95s came out. This one took a pretty good hit in the front end and the airbag deployed. It was listed as a stationary no-start with engine damage so let's see what it will take to make it run.

Completing the rebuild of the T boned Honda CRV
The 2020 Honda CRV Touring AWD is painted and ready to go back together. There shouldn't be much mechanical work to do on such a low mileage vehicle. Let's get it together and see what it looks like.

Cheap airbags, seatbelts and a few other parts go back in/on the T-boned Honda CRV
The T-boned CRV is all edged in and we have some more parts so let's see how much we can get back together today. It is common for the "experts" to tell me vehicles are totaled because the airbags deployed. While the cost of airbags and airbag related damage can push a vehicle over the total loss threshold, there is no law that says a vehicle must be totaled if the airbags deploy.

Finishing the repair on the B pillar of the T boned Honda CRV
Last week we pulled the CRV and tacked up the piece of the inner pillar we had to replace. This week we will finish welding that piece in and install the outer panel. We will also get the doors fit and the hinges on for the last time (hopefully). By the time we are done, it should be all ready for paint and a lot less pain than I expected when I started.

Repairing the B pillar on the T boned Honda CRV
Last time we took the CRV apart, today we start some repairs. We will move the B-pillar around and see if we can get it back where it belongs. If we can, we will cut it open and see what needs to be replaced on the inside. We did get a few parts, two doors and 3/4 of the side of a CRV. Two of the three parts were even in the right color..... Bonus!

I bought an EV to bribe and distract my supervisor.
I had a cheap remote-controlled car that I used in the house and the supervisor loved to chase it until she destroyed it. I figured I would get her one that would even the odds a bit. This one is far too fast for inside, so we take her out and let her go. She will run herself to exhaustion playing with the car and tennis balls are no longer interesting to her. We do bring water with us and make her stop and drink so calm down PETA. She is currently sitting next to me because she heard the video of her favorite toy.

The last owner of this Honda VTX went a little overboard... and that's not a bad thing
We are going to take a look at a motorcycle I am offering on my website. I did not realize how many accessories this thing had on it at the time I filmed the video. The description on my website lists a good portion, basically everything in the Honda catalog that was chrome ended up on the bike.

The parts are in for the RDX build after a little research to find the best prices.
We have most of the parts for the RDX build, hopefully the rest come in by the end of the video. I found deals on the parts from unusual places, like the dealer. You can't beat OEM parts to make the repair process go as smoothly as possible.

I took a big gamble on a non-running Acura RDX Aspec
Today we start a new build. It is a 2021 Acura RDX Aspec AWD with only 20,000 miles. It was a stationary vehicle because it will not run. I either saved some money or I am about to be upside down on this rebuild.... Only one way to find out. The damage from the deer on this was not nearly as bad as the Lincoln MKT we did at the beginning of the year but at least that one still ran..ish.

Cheap fix for the Lexus IS belt molding problems
I have sold a few of these IS 250s and they all seem to have the same peeling belt molding issue. Here is a cheap fix to avoid the expensive ($200) factory replacement option. It takes less than an hour to do all four doors.

Rebuilding a cursed Buick Enclave
Another one of my rebuilds has returned. This is the 2013 Buick Enclave that we rebuilt a while back. You can see the videos in this playlist: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLjIovTQhKoos4apnq-GXagDlE19GhAmKp In addition to the damage to the side, it also needs some work to get rid of some suspension issues and warning lights.

Lost and forgotten at the auction for five years
How long do cars sit at the auction? On average about two months, but this 2004 Pontiac Grand Am GT is far beyond average. It was sitting at the auction for a month shy of five years. Had the auction not been moving locations, it would have likely sat even longer. It was not wrecked, has a clear title and doesn't run. Let's see if we can figure out the history and get it running again.
