Guys i get that there's a lot of builds in the works, this is something that's been scheduled for many months and ive been looking forward to immensely. Its only 2 weeks.. lets just sit back and have some fun working on something we can be a little rough with.
camaro comes sometime this summer, but i dont "dare start another build" before everthing else is done... JK, itll start this summer once everything warms up and quits raining here.
Hey Chris! I'll abstain from any "finish your current build comments" although I'm eager to see the 2J BRZ I think you should scrap the apocalypse idea but retain the drift missile idea. Strip the interior G35's are heavy. Then give it lightbar headlights or a singular bar (following the Noriyaro concept) Possibly no hood if it exceeds the budget but you need a front bumper or at least a tube frame. Then some basic TLC, Spark Plugs, Oil Change, Seafoam, etc. make sure the pads in the Brembos are good. Check trans fluid, ball joints, end links and whatnot. Toss on a couple simple breather mods, intakes, free up the exhaust, replace the coils, lower it, and get wheel spacers. Then I'd either dip the car, rust it or just leave it alone and call it a day. Excited to see the final product!
Considering Chris is doing full-time RUclips now count these episodes as filler between parts coming in for the other builds. I'm just glad we're getting these way for frequent releases, it's great just to watch Chris DIY stuff, no matter what car it is.
Drift missile! Everyone's giving you heat for so many cars but I think it's cool. It's nice to have so much variation in episodes and if you can pull it off then it's great! You do you man!
roll the window all the way up regularly then when it reaches the top pull up more on the switch (which is the auto function) and hold for 15 seconds which will relearn the auto window for that door so it wont keep going down.
all these people complaining about too many builds be the same people who'd complain if their favourite car doesn't get featured for a few weeks because your finishing projects 😂😂😂 you get a lot of content from different cars all the time and watching a dude learn and show you it's not actually as difficult to work on a car as you think. like that's awesome. keep going Chris you're a legend.
Hell yeah, stock it's almost 300 hp, looking at the struts this guy put on seems to indicate that he might have put some goodies under the hood as well.
Just bought an 03 sedan for $300 from my buddy. It sat in the driveway for a year. Didnt start. Minor cosmetic issues. Parasitic battery drain. Took it home washed it, cleaned it out. Replaced battery, spark plugs, all fluids/filters, bank 2 cam position sensor, 1 ignition coil and it runs beautifully. Installed catch can and single straight piped the exhaust it rips. Working on a few dings on body and a squeak in the backseat now. Lol I'm in about 650. I use pick n pull alot. Cheers
"as long as all the metal is there and has all its connections its gonna be safe" You're straightening out crumple zones that have been crumpled. You should look into a concept called work hardening. Every point where that panel was creased then straightened back out is going to be significantly weakened. You better be full disclosure to whoever you sell this to.
I have a 2005 since new. The front corner crumpled in beautifully. This saved the passengers in that collision, the main portion of the chassis, wind shield etc. The passenger door gap looks good so this is a good buy.
Build the entire front body out of sheet metal but don't make anything precise. Just cut and bend it with hammers and pliers until you have a "fender" and "hood" and "bumper"
And definitely do not paint it. Can get a mismatching wheel too if it's cheaper and same diameter. Maybe even use the random headlight that you already have
It's like Two-Face as a car, I love it! The back of the car is in great shape so it would give good contrast. Make it look like the front is possessed.
if you guys seriously dont like him having multiple build i dont think u get the idea of the channel... its awesome that he has multiple builds, that way he will always have something to work on, and the series wont get repetetive. keep ut the good work B!
strut tower definitely needs to be pulled out and forward. you may be able to heat it with a torch and use the winch in the on the fj to slowly pull it in the correct direction.
I think it would be cool if you guys did "quick build" episodes sometimes. I love being informed, but I also love watching you guys just go crazy with your car knowledge. nice upload!
Everyone chill out! I for one am super excited for this build. I really like the apocalyptic builds, like mighty mods Silvia. Don't doubt this guy, I guarantee this one will come out looking awesome and as for the other builds let's be glad Chris has plenty of content in store for us!
Awesome!! Couple of tips as I work in the parts department of an Infiniti Dealer here in Canada. Those Engines are super strong, the Brembo big brakes are an expensive option for those cars so if its salvageable keep them. The front suspensions have multiple arms and compression rods and knuckles so finding parts at a scrap yard is the way the go for sure, depending on what you have planned for the car, buy new rubber cones for the control arms to sit in as they get worn and usually need replacing. Looking forward to seeing what you do next.
Turn it into a 1990s/2000s Fast & Furious style ricer. Get a cheap fibreglass bodykit/hood and go to a scrapyard and grab the largest rear wing you can find, then cover any scratches and dents with big decals
This is awesome man, I'm stoked af, You've got some great builds in the works and I can't wait to see you finish all of em, btw this challenge is gonna be sick and you for sure have it in the bag. Craigslist sucks ass compared to Copart, I managed to pick up an 02 outback ll bean up for 1100 out the door, drove it home.
you should take the Brembo brake calipers off of the G35 once your done with the car and put them on the BRZ or on a another build, as a major brake upgrade
Check the IPDM which is in that black roundish box which is next to the battery for moisture or corrosion in the connectors or fuses, I had a 350z come in awhile back that had moisture in it, it too was a wrecked car being rebuilt, has green crusties in it which was expensive to replace. His lights kept turning on by themselves when the ignition would come on due to the relay grounding from corrosion.
My fun started out with an $850 93 SC300 that I'm going to use as a learning tool/drift missile, plus the car was completely stripped accept for the mechanical items. Have fun with it, a lot of times projects with little to no rules are the most fun.
I say you beat the dent out of the drivers fender. DIY 4 hood pins from bolts ditch the latch and hinges on the hood and reuse the factory hood. Mount and wire the free Acura headlight, then buy some wood and felt sheets, and use your new fiberglass skills to build a super simple flat fender, extend the core support and extend the screwed up bumper. Ending up with some thing that looks like Nintendo 64 polygon graphics. Find a spray paint that matchs, paint the fiberglass, and its done.
Apocalypse car for sure! But flat black? Nah man, Giver the good ole fire treatment!! dust the silver with black and char that thing. Maybe sell the trunk lid and make a chicken wire one lol
I like the mad max idea. Throw on a junk yard fender, hammer out the hood, fab up a beefy tube grill then sand it to bare metal and hose it down with muriatic acid so the whole thing has a rusty patina. If you really want to go nuts, chop the roof off.
Melbourne Rider I agree, Australia doesn't want people to die from unsafe cars being on the road. That thing needs to be put on a frame alignment table and the whole leg and strut tower replaced to be safe again. Trying to straighten what is there will just leave it weak and metal fatigued meaning if it ever crashes again it will probably kill any passenger in it. The crumple zones are there for a reason, to absorb energy in a crash. Even if he straightens them they will not behave in a crash as designed. Seriously feel sorry for who ever ends up with this car if not fixed correctly. Will be a death trap
Love the show man!! Keep up the good work. I just appreciate the motivation and the content you put out. Your just just like any one of us working on our cars imagining a vision and getting there. Much props.
I know your doing this for fun but damn I can't watch this thing get get turned into a rat rod or apocalypse style car because I love the g35. Good luck man.
let me know if you are looking for anything OEM just so happen to work at an infinity dealership that might possibly be to your benefit or not, just looking out homie !
We all enjoy your content and no one is trying to be harsh but for the sake of your audience one build at a time is best. It creates an attachment and a vested interest between the audience and the car. That's probably why MCM is so popular, they create a story with their cars.
Sell the drivetrain Sell the brembos Sell the coilovers Sell other parts mods from car Scrap the remaining Turn a profit Use money for fixing the Aston properly and not butchering it..
Lots of negative comments here. Keep doing whatever you want Chris! I personally like the sound of this build and I'm looking forward to the challenge. I'm going to be starting an LS swapped 996 project in the next year and I plan to use copart for at least the 996. I'll definitely tell them you sent me. My goal is to get 200K performance numbers from a 20K budget. Thanks for the inspiration Chris!
Im curious if you can actually fix this car? so far I dont think so, car has some major frame damage, needs frame machine, new parts just to drive right, disappointing. In case your wondering I do this stuff for a living & own a car that wasnt hurt near this bad that needed pulled, just judging by what I see another car unfinished....
Shoot I understand it's a part of the challenge to sell it but you literally have golden opportunity for a manual for the 2j BRZ , talk to Tavarish and I'd be willing to bet that If he was in the same situation he'd keep the trans for the car, you could part out the rest of the car to make up any of the money you would have lost not selling it, but it keeps you from getting bored of the automatic big turbo 2j in a small sports car
For a end of the world build i would purposefully rust or rough up the exterior, like Mighty Car Mod's rusty golf. Adding louvers would add to the theme. Instead of the stock lights I would add those oval or circle lamps that Road kill bolts on to their junkyard builds.
You should strip the interior and sell it so you can have more room in the budget for mods, plus the stripped interior would be perfect for either of those ideas.
If you really want an apocalypse look, do a flat facet rusty metal motif. Think like how a diamond is cut. Build a frame from some thin square tubing, then pop-rivet the faceted panels onto the frame. I would make the frame into a clamshell that latches and and lifts on some gas struts; the entire front nose of the car would hinge up.
"Hey guys Chris here, today I'm going to show the Bugatti Chiron I won on copart. As you can see one of the tires is flat so the engine is basically useless so let's throw a 2jz in there"
Make sure the control arms you ordered come with ball joint shims or you'll be waiting on parts again. Can't reuse the old ones. It's a little black cone looking thing that aligns the arm in the knuckle. I learned the hard way
Hey B ! We bought our g35 coupe for 1000€ but we swap the motor for the same vq35. Interior was awesome but it needs to go away so the car is so light. Always we bought some Bride seeds and straightpipe. Also weld the diff and now? The car is awesome. It drifts awesome and in future we will bough some turbos! You should do same thing and make some budget drifter for learning
I never seen it done but I had an idea for a hood that I thought about doing to one of my cars, take a chain link fence section and cut it to whatever hood size you have, weld on a hood latch and hindges and spray it black that way it looks mad maxish. I think it would look pretty sick and very unique! You should definitely try the idea on the G35 if you go the mad max theme!
Completely agree, why should we care about a budget build?? When he's got a RB BRZ, 2JZ BRZ, Lotus, Turbo Mustang, FJ cruiser. We want to see cool cars. Start finishing some of these, flip them for more money if he needs it
its just becoming blah, it isnt a learn to fix cars channel, it isnt a fabrication channel, it isnt a paint cars channel, it isnt a watch me learn to drive channel. with the mustang car, and the 2jz swap i was hoping to watch him learn to build a car and weld, and put something together, maybe im hating right now
But if he needs money how is buying loads of cars and all the parts for those builds going to help? That very thing is what makes me nervous about the long term viability of his channel. He just barely starting putting some cars up for sale and theres no way he's making enough money off ads to support a channel like this so fingers crossed he sells a TON of merch.
mrkthmn well the cars are pretty cheap for being old or beat to shit. plus hes probobly investing s bunch of his savings to maybe see a return of profit from the videos. and yeah i wanna see him successfully run his channel. its too cool of a concept to let go
Collin Gregory it becomes a rebuilt title car after u register and pass safety inspection.. at least in my state.. if he would Fix oem specs and not all crapy he could turn around and sell it and make a profit.. it's a smart thing to do if u know ur way around a car.. I've bought a couple cars like that fixed them drove them for a couple years and sold them for more than what it cost me to buy deliver fix inspect and register..
Yup, if it's done right: you can make a nice profit. This one doesn't look like it'll be done right though. But who knows, maybe someone is looking for a cheap car like this or parts.
thats if he can even get a salvage title. here in NH you have to prove that all the original damage was repaired and show receipts to prove you bought the parts and have it inspected by the state police and they only do the inspections two days per month.
You're gonna sell this to someone and they're going to die in it and sue your shit. I mean for fucks sake look at the strut tower. What are you going to do about the 6-8 degrees of caster?
OhYou_ you can't get sued at least in Oregon if you sign over the title and get a bill of sale. Once you have proof of when it was sold it doesn't matter what happens technically.
Depending on miles I'm pretty sure you could sell that g35 with light repair for 4-5 k, if you got new panels, had everything straighten almost perfect, and maybe couple things here and their I'd say 6k depending on miles
Go like, terminator, with it. Make it look like there is some heavy steel/robot/high-tech head light combo revealed where the exterior façade is ripped off. Keep up the good work, great channel
Chad Andersen sometimes people are trapped in cars dying with the horn stuck on and the fuel pump dumping gas on a burning car. pretty sure it's easier to carry cutters then a socket set in that situation.
I doubt that was the case. Most cars have something called an inertia sensor, when a car is hit hard the fuel pump will automatically shut off. The salvage people were the ones to cut it. In an emergency situation you would only need to cut one of the cables to break the circuit, no need to cut positive, negative and the other connectors.
Chad Andersen the cables under the fender were damaged in the crash. almost every wreck I've witnessed where the front end got crushed the horn stuck on. usually the cop pulls bolt cutters out of his trunk and cuts the battery cables so he doesn't have to sit there and listen to it for 5 hours. most inertia switches either automatically reset or are easily reset. My car you just push a button in the trunk. Had to reset it once when someone backed into my car at my apartment complex. same car, I hit a Cadillac going 40mph and it didn't trip it. salvage people couldn't care less if the battery goes dead. If they did, there wouldn't be a battery in it.
Again, if it were an emergency repsonder that cut cables they would have just stopped after the horn stop. No point in cutting both, just a waste of time when other things need to be done.
Chad Andersen I thought it was the salvage people that apparently had nothing better to do? guess it could have been the tow truck driver, but I doubt it. 90% can't even tie down the cars they are transporting. either way, the cables were cut by someone not smart enough to know they only needed to cut one.
Definitely apocalypse style. I would probably keep the right half of the bumper cover that is undamaged, and leave the left side and the engine bay exposed with a a tube frame instead of a side fender.maybe even make a sheet metal hood
The part that is smashed in on the Side I think it’s called and apron fender frame rail how much would you think it’s gonna cost me to fix mine it’s a g35x 2007
Guys i get that there's a lot of builds in the works, this is something that's been scheduled for many months and ive been looking forward to immensely. Its only 2 weeks.. lets just sit back and have some fun working on something we can be a little rough with.
B is for Build don't just think outside the box, tear it up ;)
B is for Build Please do a "DeathRace" style build. Also when your done with the G35, mustang, and BRZ will you be building the Camaro?
camaro comes sometime this summer, but i dont "dare start another build" before everthing else is done... JK, itll start this summer once everything warms up and quits raining here.
Can't wait to see what you come up with.
B is for Build keep doing what doing. I can't wait for your videos every week
Hey Chris! I'll abstain from any "finish your current build comments" although I'm eager to see the 2J BRZ
I think you should scrap the apocalypse idea but retain the drift missile idea.
Strip the interior G35's are heavy.
Then give it lightbar headlights or a singular bar (following the Noriyaro concept)
Possibly no hood if it exceeds the budget but you need a front bumper or at least a tube frame.
Then some basic TLC, Spark Plugs, Oil Change, Seafoam, etc. make sure the pads in the Brembos are good. Check trans fluid, ball joints, end links and whatnot.
Toss on a couple simple breather mods, intakes, free up the exhaust, replace the coils, lower it, and get wheel spacers.
Then I'd either dip the car, rust it or just leave it alone and call it a day.
Excited to see the final product!
katabaticsaint I agree, not in love with the rat rod idea
Reece Fitzgibbon that's a perfect idea! Talk some sense into him
Considering Chris is doing full-time RUclips now count these episodes as filler between parts coming in for the other builds. I'm just glad we're getting these way for frequent releases, it's great just to watch Chris DIY stuff, no matter what car it is.
Drift missile! Everyone's giving you heat for so many cars but I think it's cool. It's nice to have so much variation in episodes and if you can pull it off then it's great! You do you man!
roll the window all the way up regularly then when it reaches the top pull up more on the switch (which is the auto function) and hold for 15 seconds which will relearn the auto window for that door so it wont keep going down.
all these people complaining about too many builds be the same people who'd complain if their favourite car doesn't get featured for a few weeks because your finishing projects 😂😂😂 you get a lot of content from different cars all the time and watching a dude learn and show you it's not actually as difficult to work on a car as you think. like that's awesome. keep going Chris you're a legend.
If you 2jz swap it i swear to god...
Oprah putting 2JZ's under everyone's seat. YOU GET A 2J....YOU GET A 2J.. EVERYBODY GETS A 2JZ!
MrEujoo he should 1gz-fe swap it. or RB26. or even reuse the brz engine and build it up
HgMossy or just keep the VQ35DE because they are are a good reliable engine that make plenty of torque and sound great.
DeviousPrimate I agree. The VQ is a good motor Imo.
Hell yeah, stock it's almost 300 hp, looking at the struts this guy put on seems to indicate that he might have put some goodies under the hood as well.
Just bought an 03 sedan for $300 from my buddy. It sat in the driveway for a year. Didnt start. Minor cosmetic issues. Parasitic battery drain. Took it home washed it, cleaned it out. Replaced battery, spark plugs, all fluids/filters, bank 2 cam position sensor, 1 ignition coil and it runs beautifully. Installed catch can and single straight piped the exhaust it rips. Working on a few dings on body and a squeak in the backseat now. Lol I'm in about 650. I use pick n pull alot. Cheers
"as long as all the metal is there and has all its connections its gonna be safe" You're straightening out crumple zones that have been crumpled. You should look into a concept called work hardening. Every point where that panel was creased then straightened back out is going to be significantly weakened. You better be full disclosure to whoever you sell this to.
Late to the party but ffs. This is rubbish.
I have a 2005 since new.
The front corner crumpled in beautifully. This saved the passengers in that collision, the main portion of the chassis, wind shield etc.
The passenger door gap looks good so this is a good buy.
Build the entire front body out of sheet metal but don't make anything precise. Just cut and bend it with hammers and pliers until you have a "fender" and "hood" and "bumper"
And definitely do not paint it. Can get a mismatching wheel too if it's cheaper and same diameter. Maybe even use the random headlight that you already have
It's like Two-Face as a car, I love it! The back of the car is in great shape so it would give good contrast. Make it look like the front is possessed.
@mdoe8 just us the Acura light he found lol
if you guys seriously dont like him having multiple build i dont think u get the idea of the channel... its awesome that he has multiple builds, that way he will always have something to work on, and the series wont get repetetive. keep ut the good work B!
strut tower definitely needs to be pulled out and forward. you may be able to heat it with a torch and use the winch in the on the fj to slowly pull it in the correct direction.
I think it would be cool if you guys did "quick build" episodes sometimes. I love being informed, but I also love watching you guys just go crazy with your car knowledge. nice upload!
HEY my buddy used to own this car!
Keep up the great work love the channel!
lmaooooo when he stated the stupid stickers and read this at same time lmaooo
your buddy sucks at driving
Everyone chill out! I for one am super excited for this build. I really like the apocalyptic builds, like mighty mods Silvia. Don't doubt this guy, I guarantee this one will come out looking awesome and as for the other builds let's be glad Chris has plenty of content in store for us!
Love the diversity of vehicles on this channel. No car is safe from Chris's madness.
Also love this build already since it's my favorite car :)
Awesome!! Couple of tips as I work in the parts department of an Infiniti Dealer here in Canada. Those Engines are super strong, the Brembo big brakes are an expensive option for those cars so if its salvageable keep them.

This is awesome man, I'm stoked af, You've got some great builds in the works and I can't wait to see you finish all of em, btw this challenge is gonna be sick and you for sure have it in the bag. Craigslist sucks ass compared to Copart, I managed to pick up an 02 outback ll bean up for 1100 out the door, drove it home.
Ayyyyyyyyy G35 love
This challenge is a breath of fresh air! Short term project compared to the very long series you usually do. I'm keen to see how this pans out.
I love early in day uploads
and the new 8:00pm publish time on the east coast is GREAT!
you should take the Brembo brake calipers off of the G35 once your done with the car and put them on the BRZ or on a another build, as a major brake upgrade
DANIEL VALERIO nah he should sell them to me
Check the IPDM which is in that black roundish box which is next to the battery for moisture or corrosion in the connectors or fuses, I had a 350z come in awhile back that had moisture in it, it too was a wrecked car being rebuilt, has green crusties in it which was expensive to replace. His lights kept turning on by themselves when the ignition would come on due to the relay grounding from corrosion.
Soon Chris will have more cars then Mr. Spaghetti
The mister spaghetti is so old
For how much it's been raining lately, I commend you for almost always filming when it's dry outside
This guy has a hard on for buying crashed cars. What's he up to now? Like 10 cars?
He said he sold the Charger, soooo...
3 BRZs
Evora
Vantage
FJ
Mustang
Camaro
S2000
G35
5-series.
11 if you count B is for Boat as a whole car.
Akizzem should I tell him there's an Alfa Romeo Giulia QV for sale on copart…
I dont have a 5-series but i do have another car ive never shown on the channel. And i sold the boat, so i think that puts me at 11.
+ Mustang
+ s2000
I think you need to see a shrink! Or open a car lot
My fun started out with an $850 93 SC300 that I'm going to use as a learning tool/drift missile, plus the car was completely stripped accept for the mechanical items. Have fun with it, a lot of times projects with little to no rules are the most fun.
Forget all the hate. This is rad and I appreciate you doing a low dollar build.
I say you beat the dent out of the drivers fender. DIY 4 hood pins from bolts ditch the latch and hinges on the hood and reuse the factory hood. Mount and wire the free Acura headlight, then buy some wood and felt sheets, and use your new fiberglass skills to build a super simple flat fender, extend the core support and extend the screwed up bumper. Ending up with some thing that looks like Nintendo 64 polygon graphics. Find a spray paint that matchs, paint the fiberglass, and its done.
Apocalypse car for sure! But flat black? Nah man, Giver the good ole fire treatment!! dust the silver with black and char that thing. Maybe sell the trunk lid and make a chicken wire one lol
Excited for what you do on the car man honestly
is that same engine from a Nissan 350 and 370z
MysticMusicVideos yep VQ35
yeah, Nissan uses the same block for all of their v6 engines, they just edit tunes and displacements and such for different engines
MysticMusicVideos VQs
MysticMusicVideos 350z's engine VQ35 :v
the 350z uses the same engine, its a VQ35DE and the 370z uses a VQ37 hence the name "350" and "370"
I like the mad max idea. Throw on a junk yard fender, hammer out the hood, fab up a beefy tube grill then sand it to bare metal and hose it down with muriatic acid so the whole thing has a rusty patina. If you really want to go nuts, chop the roof off.
That would never see the road again in Australia
Well yeah Australia sucks when it comes to that.
Melbourne Rider I agree, Australia doesn't want people to die from unsafe cars being on the road. That thing needs to be put on a frame alignment table and the whole leg and strut tower replaced to be safe again. Trying to straighten what is there will just leave it weak and metal fatigued meaning if it ever crashes again it will probably kill any passenger in it.

Seriously feel sorry for who ever ends up with this car if not fixed correctly. Will be a death trap
Larn Davies my state doesn't even do saftey inspections. America.
So Tru, I can't believe the relaxed laws they seem to have in the US, almost 3rd world like.
Oh god no. Mind you, that said I thought the same sort of thing about the Evora.
Love the show man!! Keep up the good work. I just appreciate the motivation and the content you put out. Your just just like any one of us working on our cars imagining a vision and getting there. Much props.
Probably the whole front frame rails on both sides are bent, that's why the drivers side fender is bent.
I know your doing this for fun but damn I can't watch this thing get get turned into a rat rod or apocalypse style car because I love the g35. Good luck man.
Fixed up the front end of my Acura with a few ropes and some friends. Love seeing successful pulling
A mad max apocalypse g35 would be sweet!
I like the second idea with the G35 (apocalypse style). I think the car has too many wires and modern parts to be a good rat rod.
I love g35 thank you for doing this build
Love it, keep the projects coming.
ps quality on your hats is fantastic.
let me know if you are looking for anything OEM just so happen to work at an infinity dealership that might possibly be to your benefit or not, just looking out homie !
Woo pumped! I LOVE VQ's... Looking forward to this one :D
We all enjoy your content and no one is trying to be harsh but for the sake of your audience one build at a time is best. It creates an attachment and a vested interest between the audience and the car. That's probably why MCM is so popular, they create a story with their cars.
I have a 03 Tiburon and I am 95% positive that the headlight in the back seat belongs to that. Looks nice
Ayyyy Tavarish!!!!
Fuck yeah. It's nice having different builds, it's like a surprise what build the next video will be about
the paul Walker sticker is from tuner crate which is last months subscription, that States that is recently crashed
Definitely watching this series. I have a g35 myself too ! Currently swapping engines to a low mile engine one
Sell the drivetrain
Sell the brembos
Sell the coilovers
Sell other parts mods from car
Scrap the remaining
Turn a profit
Use money for fixing the Aston properly and not butchering it..
Lots of negative comments here. Keep doing whatever you want Chris! I personally like the sound of this build and I'm looking forward to the challenge. I'm going to be starting an LS swapped 996 project in the next year and I plan to use copart for at least the 996. I'll definitely tell them you sent me. My goal is to get 200K performance numbers from a 20K budget. Thanks for the inspiration Chris!
Sadly those coils look like racelands, which are blown from new.
what year is the G35?
Im curious if you can actually fix this car? so far I dont think so, car has some major frame damage, needs frame machine, new parts just to drive right, disappointing. In case your wondering I do this stuff for a living & own a car that wasnt hurt near this bad that needed pulled, just judging by what I see another car unfinished....
love the long lengthy videos 💪
Shoot I understand it's a part of the challenge to sell it but you literally have golden opportunity for a manual for the 2j BRZ , talk to Tavarish and I'd be willing to bet that If he was in the same situation he'd keep the trans for the car, you could part out the rest of the car to make up any of the money you would have lost not selling it, but it keeps you from getting bored of the automatic big turbo 2j in a small sports car
Tavarish is a friggin joke lmao
For a end of the world build i would purposefully rust or rough up the exterior, like Mighty Car Mod's rusty golf. Adding louvers would add to the theme. Instead of the stock lights I would add those oval or circle lamps that Road kill bolts on to their junkyard builds.
just strip it
rust the car
tube front end
less is more!
You should strip the interior and sell it so you can have more room in the budget for mods, plus the stripped interior would be perfect for either of those ideas.
Build number 743 in progress.
Revving while cold is a one way ticket to a beautiful knocking sound
The Porsche ratrod made me deeply depressed, time to take my toaster and rubber ducky for a bath 😭
If you really want an apocalypse look, do a flat facet rusty metal motif. Think like how a diamond is cut. Build a frame from some thin square tubing, then pop-rivet the faceted panels onto the frame. I would make the frame into a clamshell that latches and and lifts on some gas struts; the entire front nose of the car would hinge up.
"Hey guys Chris here, today I'm going to show the Bugatti Chiron I won on copart. As you can see one of the tires is flat so the engine is basically useless so let's throw a 2jz in there"
Make sure the control arms you ordered come with ball joint shims or you'll be waiting on parts again. Can't reuse the old ones. It's a little black cone looking thing that aligns the arm in the knuckle. I learned the hard way
Nooo just try and find some used parts parts and fix it back to stock !!!
Everyone should click the coparts link to show them that B is for build is something they should continue to sponsor.
+1 for featuring BossRoaster. My favorite Miata build
You still have the Austin Martin
I'm now just imagining an Aston Martin combined with an Austin Healey...

Hey B ! We bought our g35 coupe for 1000€ but we swap the motor for the same vq35. Interior was awesome but it needs to go away so the car is so light. Always we bought some Bride seeds and straightpipe. Also weld the diff and now? The car is awesome. It drifts awesome and in future we will bough some turbos! You should do same thing and make some budget drifter for learning
There's a 2017 NSX on copart with less than 10,000 miles
I never seen it done but I had an idea for a hood that I thought about doing to one of my cars, take a chain link fence section and cut it to whatever hood size you have, weld on a hood latch and hindges and spray it black that way it looks mad maxish. I think it would look pretty sick and very unique! You should definitely try the idea on the G35 if you go the mad max theme!
Spelled Infiniti Wrong!
vgg1 I noticed that two
fuxed
B is for Build fixed*
lol
Wow! I bought a G35S today! Excited for this build!
B is for boo many builds
shit getting annoying now, fucking actually finish a car. or learn to paint halfway decent, or even tig weld.
Completely agree, why should we care about a budget build?? When he's got a RB BRZ, 2JZ BRZ, Lotus, Turbo Mustang, FJ cruiser. We want to see cool cars. Start finishing some of these, flip them for more money if he needs it
its just becoming blah, it isnt a learn to fix cars channel, it isnt a fabrication channel, it isnt a paint cars channel, it isnt a watch me learn to drive channel. with the mustang car, and the 2jz swap i was hoping to watch him learn to build a car and weld, and put something together, maybe im hating right now
you're def hating man, if you want to learn welding watch mister tig or the fabricator.
maybe your right
Wow, I literally just got a 350z to my driveway this morning and I come to see that my favorite youtube channel has picked up it's fancy brother :)
he lost his job man. if he wants to do 7 builds at once. im sure he has the time and the need for the money.
But if he needs money how is buying loads of cars and all the parts for those builds going to help? That very thing is what makes me nervous about the long term viability of his channel. He just barely starting putting some cars up for sale and theres no way he's making enough money off ads to support a channel like this so fingers crossed he sells a TON of merch.
mrkthmn well the cars are pretty cheap for being old or beat to shit. plus hes probobly investing s bunch of his savings to maybe see a return of profit from the videos. and yeah i wanna see him successfully run his channel. its too cool of a concept to let go
Excited to see how this turns out!
good luck trying to sell a salvage title car
Collin Gregory he won't get much especially since it's a g35
Engine and transmission alone are worth more than $1500 as long as its not crazy miles.
Collin Gregory it becomes a rebuilt title car after u register and pass safety inspection.. at least in my state.. if he would Fix oem specs and not all crapy he could turn around and sell it and make a profit.. it's a smart thing to do if u know ur way around a car.. I've bought a couple cars like that fixed them drove them for a couple years and sold them for more than what it cost me to buy deliver fix inspect and register..
Yup, if it's done right: you can make a nice profit. This one doesn't look like it'll be done right though.
But who knows, maybe someone is looking for a cheap car like this or parts.
thats if he can even get a salvage title. here in NH you have to prove that all the original damage was repaired and show receipts to prove you bought the parts and have it inspected by the state police and they only do the inspections two days per month.
I love your channel bro! Keep it up.
Your my motivation to get my miata build started/finished soon!
You're gonna sell this to someone and they're going to die in it and sue your shit.
I mean for fucks sake look at the strut tower. What are you going to do about the 6-8 degrees of caster?
OhYou_ you should buy it bro
They're going to die and sue you for it. Makes a lot of sense.
OhYou_ you can't get sued at least in Oregon if you sign over the title and get a bill of sale. Once you have proof of when it was sold it doesn't matter what happens technically.
I'm going to buy this car, then die someday by the cause of this car and sue the shit of the person who rebuilt it.
OhYou_ you can't sue if your dead
Depending on miles I'm pretty sure you could sell that g35 with light repair for 4-5 k, if you got new panels, had everything straighten almost perfect, and maybe couple things here and their I'd say 6k depending on miles
Hey I just bought one too :)
Cup nice
For the tug of war you can check in the trunk under the false bottom and there should be a stock tow hook that will screw into the front bumper
dont ruin the car, stop being cheap and fix it right
Go like, terminator, with it. Make it look like there is some heavy steel/robot/high-tech head light combo revealed where the exterior façade is ripped off.
Keep up the good work, great channel
Why do idiots cut wires instead of just removing the cables from the terminal? It takes a minute or less to remove them so time isn't an excuse.
Chad Andersen sometimes people are trapped in cars dying with the horn stuck on and the fuel pump dumping gas on a burning car. pretty sure it's easier to carry cutters then a socket set in that situation.
I doubt that was the case. Most cars have something called an inertia sensor, when a car is hit hard the fuel pump will automatically shut off. The salvage people were the ones to cut it. In an emergency situation you would only need to cut one of the cables to break the circuit, no need to cut positive, negative and the other connectors.
Chad Andersen the cables under the fender were damaged in the crash. almost every wreck I've witnessed where the front end got crushed the horn stuck on. usually the cop pulls bolt cutters out of his trunk and cuts the battery cables so he doesn't have to sit there and listen to it for 5 hours. most inertia switches either automatically reset or are easily reset. My car you just push a button in the trunk. Had to reset it once when someone backed into my car at my apartment complex. same car, I hit a Cadillac going 40mph and it didn't trip it.
salvage people couldn't care less if the battery goes dead. If they did, there wouldn't be a battery in it.
Again, if it were an emergency repsonder that cut cables they would have just stopped after the horn stop. No point in cutting both, just a waste of time when other things need to be done.
Chad Andersen I thought it was the salvage people that apparently had nothing better to do? guess it could have been the tow truck driver, but I doubt it. 90% can't even tie down the cars they are transporting.
either way, the cables were cut by someone not smart enough to know they only needed to cut one.
Definitely apocalypse style. I would probably keep the right half of the bumper cover that is undamaged, and leave the left side and the engine bay exposed with a a tube frame instead of a side fender.maybe even make a sheet metal hood
Sell the transmission and engine and brembos and get $10000 at least
Cadester00 haha! No way
More like $4,000 if he's really lucky and patient.
yess
The part that is smashed in on the Side I think it’s called and apron fender frame rail how much would you think it’s gonna cost me to fix mine it’s a g35x 2007
RB26 swap!
Yeah add that to the 20 other engine swap plans
apocalypse build for sure! also drifting with tj?! cant wait for that vid 😁
Edward Martinez go and please fuck off with your tj.
schaapje666 lol
Do the rat rod!! That souds so cool. Would love to see how clean you can get the engine bay to look!
This is flipping cool! Go for an apocalypse build; imo it will end up looking cool af
Get the mechanic manual and check for mesuraments for the suspension tower. I don't think it is where it's supposed to be
Great videos mate liking your channel and the builds you do
