    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.

      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

  • @BrucePierson
    @BrucePierson 3 года назад +2

    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.

    • @vehcor
      @vehcor  3 года назад

      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!

    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!

    Those screws for the door strikers often have very shallow torx recess so it easily strips.

    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!
