I can hear it now ... sometime in the future ... someone pulls this car apart again ... pulls off the left side quarter and states ... "Somebody's been here before ..." :o)
The quality of your work as well as your painting gnomes is extraordinary. I wouldn't hesitate for a second to buy a vehicle that you repaired. Thanks for sharing your repair process. It's really interesting to see the work that goes into these repairs. If only everyone did quality work like you do, life would be a lot easier.
You have a 40+ year wealth of knowledge about all things auto body, and your sense of humor ("click", "bumper installation tool") is sublime. Thank you for sharing all your knowledge with us! I'm fascinated by your videos. They show me a lot about how salvage repair SHOULD be done.
After years in the dark environs of a Toyota quarter panel, Mr. Spotty will return speaking Japanese and looking for some payback. Stay tuned for 'Ninja Spotty'.
@@vehcor You’ll be fine in California. It’s not that expensive to live here . 😉🤔. Besides that, think of all the fun you’ll have triggering the liberals face to face. 🤣🤣
You always always do it right even if its invisible you need to do it right as you would know its not, its attention to detail and workmanship in its finest form
Vehcor, The detail work you do is like never I witnessed before. The quality and attention to detail makes me extremely confident to buy a vehicle from you in the future.
Kenneth James The greater majority of people, as is my observation, cannot even pay attention to detail in their writing ability. Almost all take shortcuts, I've instead of I have We've instead of we have, you've instead of you have. Your instead of you're or you are and so it goes. I sometimes wonder if these people ever had proper Toilette training. That's why I keep a safe distance from them, and never shake their hand. God knows where the hand has been. In my profession, by training; Electronics and Electro-Mechanical Engineering, and over 20 years Military Service, 2 years on attachment to the USAF, and working on Military aircraft, and other Mil/NASA projects, attention to detail is paramount. Errors can and will eventually, sooner or later cost the loss of life. It is unfortunate that errors have been made, and it is painful for everyone
Now we see why the RAV4 was totalled. It was the heater box fault that added so much to the repair cost that it went over the budget. Whoever replaces the quarter panel next time will see Mr Spotty's ghost there! See you next week, whatever you might be working on. All the best from Queensland Australia.
These things hold their value, even with the extra work it probably should not have been totaled. Some shops just find any reason they can to get out of work they deem too difficult. Best wishes from the USA!
Originally I tuned in for the Mustang build 2 weeks ago. I binge watched the older episodes to learn more about you. I subscribed for your meticulous rebuilds and tutorials. TGIF has taken on a whole new meaning. Aloha from Hawaii 🤙🏽
Scott,I really enjoy watching you make these repairs on some of these wrecked vehicles that U end up with,it amazes me that so often the replacement parts are the same color as the vehicle ur repairing,you make all this body work look so easy,and you take pride in the great work that you do,if I ever needed collision work done I would hope to have a guy like you to do the work for me,I'm a faithful subscriber,watch ur video every Friday,keep up the great videos Paul, the oldgoatkeeper
Happy Friday Scott! Another action-packed episode of the trials and tribulations of a body tech accompanied by the humble Mr. Spotty. Nice work stitching up the rear section, all the plastic parts, and the diagnosis/presumption of the blend door malfunction in the HVAC system. I feel for ya, having to remove not only the heater box assembly but also the complete dash. Yikes, that's a video in itself, right? Work safe, enjoy your weekend, take care of Mr. Spottty so he can come back for the next adventure! Doug@ the "ranch"
I really enjoy watching you work on the vehicles! It’s nice to watch a craftsman at work. Keep up the GREAT JOB, I would definitely buy a rebuilt vehicle off of you! You are the type of repair man we need more of. 😊👍👌
And it was cheap. IAA started timed auctions and this one was on a Sunday so no one was watching. Not to mention I was that a hole that snipes bidders at the last second. 😂😈
First! It's "Fix Someone Else's Mess Friday!" "Really, Toyota? Who still uses wheel covers?" "Oh, Vehcor-san. Buyer not pay extra yen for alloy wheels, they get Dixie pie-plate wheel covers. We buy these paper plates in bulk from local supermarket. Save us much yen for sushi. Yummy.."
Woooo.Hoooo..Vehcor Friday. Just getting done house work after my full time job. Does any of these EVER surprise you? Oh wait i know thw answer..lol. Scott thanks a ton for taking the time to make and edit these. Be safe have a great weekend. Its gonna be in the 60's here in Philthadelphia.
You don’t seem to be your sarcastic self today,you feeling ok,haven’t been able to insult someone yet.always a bright light on my Friday afternoon.just keep doing what your doing 😎😎😎👍👍👍
Remember you'd stay six feet away from mr. Smiley because of pandemic LOL is mr. Smiley going to have a good Thanksgiving I love to be old man thank you I hope you have a wonderful happy holidays with your videos as make the pandemic a little more tolerable God bless you
Hello I am probably 20 years older than you I did body work for 43 years I like your video's this is real life I been a chief instructor back in the 95 years in that era I think you are a hell of a body man quit hit hub caps with your hands I know my hands hurt from this good work
Dang its nearly identical to the way my kia is , i had to replace the window regulator , take nearly the whole door apart , even door handle off, exactally the same way. Nice work on the repair 👍 You go above and beyond for the extra details , not many do , replacing stuff to make it all look good.
Scott - another great video. Can't wait for the dash to be pulled out. Can you talk to the camera person to make sure he doesn't mess up again - 😁 Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family.
I am always in awe seeing your videos, and how many tools you use. From the bumper installation tool, to the spoiler installation tool, but most importantly the custom masking tool. I'm surprised you haven't opened up your own harbor freight style tool spot. Oh, and awesome video too.
OMG! 😱 Mr Spotty left his shadow underneath the panel! As for throwing the plastic on the ground, I’ll quote Greta “How dare you!” 😂 Excellent video once again!
Another quality repair! The camera guy must have been on coffee break with Mr. Spotty when the rear door window was installed. Have a Happy Thanksgiving! Gobble Gobble Spoke to ya later, Ka moan.😎
Bottom of the door covers seem like would be great for collecting salty water and testing the rust prevention coatings on bottom edge of door. what a Good way to prove your coatings tech by not weeping out that road salt!
Your videos are always entertaining and informative. As an added bonus to ruin people's lives you should give the seat belt strap a twist before you reinstall it. Have a great weekend and happy Thanksgiving from downstate Illinois!
Another Quality & Informative Video. Would Like to see Mr. Spotty doing Maintainance on His Daily Driver. 😎 TOY-YOYO... Oh, What a Feeling2😂. Diagnosis; Somebodys Been Here Before.
The heater blend door in my 2010 Impala kept stripping actuator drive gears until I discovered that the previous owner had spilled soda into the vent. After several rounds of alternating spritzing hot water and Windex into the vent, it finally started working without hesitation. I figured as long as I didn't outright pour water into it, it would dry itself out. It did. Whew!
I laughed hard about the "people still fall for the nitrogen scam", we used to call it "Jungle gas", and its not a scam, you get real nitrogen, it won't do anything to benefit you like the shops claim, but its real lol
Great video! I just started this job as an apprentice. So far the hardest part has been puttting back all the parts and pieces together and it isnt easy to remember which screws and pieces were there. Pls give some tips when you assemble~ thx
If pushing in plastic clips were a olympic sport you would be a world champion (even though you used the door seal installation tool to install bumper clips and used the closeout panel installation tool for the roof rail trim installation)
Some of these vehicle engineers must eat their 'Weedies' before they sit down and design some of this mess. I must say, every time you threw the plastic backing in the floor, I could feel the globe getting warmer...lol
I love your work and watching every Friday! I have been trying to make a go here in Saskatchewan Canada of flipping cars, but man the costs are out of this world! Scrap yards are so crooked here you can’t even buy a front clip! The mechanical part no problem but I’m no body man. Trying to learn by watching. It’s the paint part that’s impossible. I would love to know what you pay for the painting gnomes. I am trying to get two used fenders off a 2008 Saturn view painted that have no rust and they want $1,500. And that’s with the fenders off and dropped at their door. Its getting hard to make a buck!
The smirk on your face when you removed Mr. Spotty and then he was still on the car... I got a chuckle out of that one too
😀
Mr. Spotty is destined to spend the rest of his days in a Toyota!
Finally revealed... Mr. Spotty has a twin. More at eleven.
I can hear it now ... sometime in the future ... someone pulls this car apart again ... pulls off the left side quarter and states ... "Somebody's been here before ..." :o)
The plastic joke was so funny

Mind boggling repair. I have never seen a tech so smooth and knowledgeable. GREAT JOB

Mr. Spotty: お前はもう死んでいる!
I love how Mr. Spotty will have left his mark on that one ... 4-ever. So glad neither you or Mr. Spotty are in California.
I would not last in California, I’m too poor. 😂

As I own a Rav4 this was interesting to see how some things come apart and if I need to fix, replace or just have a look - now I know thanks Scott
After watching you repair this....I am pretty sure I could tackle the job myself....said the last two guys who promted, somebody's been here before!

This guy makes it look easy. Fun to watch a real craftsman.
Amazing you were able to buy a white or silver Toyota from the auction that didn't get sold to go overseas. Nice work as usual.
And it was cheap. IAA started timed auctions and this one was on a Sunday so no one was watching. Not to mention I was that a hole that snipes bidders at the last second. 😂😈
Love the torque setting for the door mirror,
2 ooga doogas 😆😆
Great content Scott, I look forward to these each week.
Regards Chris from the U.K.
You need to leave a Mr. Spotty in every car you re-do. That way when it's said: 'Somebody's been here before...' They'll know it was done right.
First! It's "Fix Someone Else's Mess Friday!"
"Really, Toyota? Who still uses wheel covers?"
"Oh, Vehcor-san. Buyer not pay extra yen for alloy wheels, they get Dixie pie-plate wheel covers. We buy these paper plates in bulk from local supermarket. Save us much yen for sushi. Yummy.."
we haven’t even gotten to the mess yet! 😂
@@vehcor i added to the pile...
🥈 Try harder next time.😊
Beware of Scotty Kilmer don't dis 🤔 Toyota....
Woooo.Hoooo..Vehcor Friday. Just getting done house work after my full time job. Does any of these EVER surprise you? Oh wait i know thw answer..lol. Scott thanks a ton for taking the time to make and edit these. Be safe have a great weekend. Its gonna be in the 60's here in Philthadelphia.
It always amazes me how much work you get done in just a little over 1/2 hour. looking good.
Great video. I am amazed at the amount of "glue" used in auto construction.
It's stronger than steel in some applications.
Jeezo pete-all those "SNAP TOGETHER" parts that make that car.....wowzer!-enjoyed your working through it all, Thanks!
You don’t seem to be your sarcastic self today,you feeling ok,haven’t been able to insult someone yet.always a bright light on my Friday afternoon.just keep doing what your doing 😎😎😎👍👍👍
It has been a long week so I was a little tired for the 3:00am voiceover.
Vehcor does such awesome work it attracts trains and first responders. LOL
With all the videos on RUclips I can honestly say that yours, and South Main Auto are by far the best!
Top class work and plenty of patience, love watching a professional at work
I have to say that the newer Rav4's look a lot better than the older boxy ones. Nice work as always. I like the color on this one. 👍
I actually like the moldings and painted bumpers on the 2016+ same body panels just no fisher price trim.
🤔the newers one look boxy,the 2016 model has nice countours the new ones from 21- have sharp edges
Vehcor: "Come for Auto repair, stay for the sarcasm."
“Sarcasm is the lowest form of wit but the highest form of intelligence,” wrote that connoisseur of wit, Oscar Wilde.
How about carsasm?
Great work and keep safe out there and it's literally looks fantastic job
Thanks! Stay safe as well.
Remember you'd stay six feet away from mr. Smiley because of pandemic LOL is mr. Smiley going to have a good Thanksgiving I love to be old man thank you I hope you have a wonderful happy holidays with your videos as make the pandemic a little more tolerable God bless you
Thanks for the support!
Love the click noises when he tightens a bolt has Mr.spoty been showing up to work
Always interesting and informative. Thank you for sharing. In my youth, the trendy named RAV4 was called a station wagon.
After binge watching a bunch of your videos I would rather buy my next vehicle from you even over brand new. You do everything from top to bottom
Hello I am probably 20 years older than you I did body work for 43 years I like your video's this is real life I been a chief instructor back in the 95 years in that era I think you are a hell of a body man quit hit hub caps with your hands I know my hands hurt from this good work

Good to see you again 🙋♂️👍
Gotta love those multipurpose installation tools you have. I think manufacturers have decided to support their use extensively!
Scott - another great video. Can't wait for the dash to be pulled out. Can you talk to the camera person to make sure he doesn't mess up again - 😁
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family.
I see Mr. Spotty left some of his DNA under that quarter panel at 2:32.
I was surprised to see this written off. No seatbelts, airbags, mechanical damage... and still driveable. What a score!
I am always in awe seeing your videos, and how many tools you use. From the bumper installation tool, to the spoiler installation tool, but most importantly the custom masking tool. I'm surprised you haven't opened up your own harbor freight style tool spot. Oh, and awesome video too.
Thumbs up and I enjoy your work. Thanks for sharing this build.
Having a 2017 platinum i loved seeing you rebuilding this one
Toyota have a white paint problem and I am going monday morning for repainting my wing 😕
OMG! 😱 Mr Spotty left his shadow underneath the panel!
As for throwing the plastic on the ground, I’ll quote Greta “How dare you!” 😂
Excellent video once again!
Lovely Jubbly, very thorough.
Those are some nice, reliable trim installers you got there. Might be a pen that fell in the "gutter".
Great work as usual
You are very smart very very smart. I like 👍🏻 your work. I’m from Iraq 🇮🇶. Thanks.
Dash! Interesting idea on what caused the issue.
Well, my theory is that it was a combination of bad design and slobs. We will find out for sure in the next video.
Another quality repair! The camera guy must have been on coffee break with Mr. Spotty when the rear door window was installed.
Have a Happy Thanksgiving! Gobble Gobble
Spoke to ya later, Ka moan.😎

Precision work from a precise guy. Mustang, yes please! I've quit smoking, need something to occupy my down time.
Where’s the afternoon crew? A special episode on boring Friday “The Afternoon Crew: Where are they Now” LOL.. great job man as always
Very satisfying; nice work!
Thanks!
Awesome work. Keep it up. Inspires me to wrench on my car.
Thanks!
Mr Spotty’s stunt double is now part of the car!!
Dam you do great work!!!!!
Thanks
Great Job, it looks great!!! Thank You... :-)
Thanks!
Good job guy. It was fun watching
That sure is a great deal of work just to replace the fuel filler door cheers from Jacksonville Florida
And ...... Just like that. Job done.
Masterclass in repair work.
And yes can we have more Mustang please?
Great job.198 thousand subscribers
Great work as always Keep giving it to the Trolls love it
I drive the same car, surprising how it all just pops apart. Nice car.
Nice build again. Looks good, you will sell this really fast.
Ahh yes nothing more relaxing than a car repair.
All work Vehcor perfect
I’m glad to see Mr. Spotty is adhering to the new contract!! 😂
If the people who design the vehicles we drive today had to repair them they would be back at the drawing board, nice job on the Toyota 😎👍👍
2:30 holy crap, Mr. Spotty has a body double!! I knew he was in one too many places at the same time...
Love your channel you work and teach my kind of guy
Love ur videos could watch them for hours very satisfying
Looks great. Definitely not buying new in the future. Rebuilt is the new NEW!
Another Quality & Informative Video. Would Like to see Mr. Spotty doing Maintainance on His Daily Driver. 😎 TOY-YOYO... Oh, What a Feeling2😂. Diagnosis; Somebodys Been Here Before.
I think that diagnosis solves 80% of problems these days! 😂
These toyotas with their subpar wheels and hidden surprises! Ford friday er.. Toyota Friday, Noice!
I am starting to feel like this thing has caught the Ford Flu!
It escapes me that millions of people don't watch you. This is better than anything on t.v.

awesome video Scott. Anxious for the next one. Have a great day and stay safe. Happy Thanksgiving wishes.
Those screws for the door strikers often have very shallow torx recess so it easily strips.
