Free Florida Swamp 1985 Chevy Corvette Rescue!! Interior Swap PT 4

[@tabajaralabs]

I still cannot understand why you ditched the nice red corvette to save the swampy thing... :\

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

Obviously 🙄 there’s something you don’t know.....

[@cajunroadwarrior]

Salvage title is worth less than a clean title. In some states you can't register a car with a salvage title.

[@baffledbyit]

Seems mysterious, is it the title or the transmission or something else?

[@RetroPCUser]

@@cajunroadwarrior my sentiments exactly. Plus, the transmission on the red one lost gear 3 and finding a working transmission from a junked car is 1 out of 100.

[@s99614]

He said that the salvage title on the red Corvette made it worth less. Plus all the parts he used would have cost more than the whole car cost him.. And then there is the transmission issues on the red one. I would have liked to see the math on this.

[@jimmywait74]

Love the carpet swap but I would have power washed it before reinstalling.

[@MidsouthRAs]

yes and what about the hole in the floor? I would have sealed that up after going to all this trouble

[@josephklein4451]

Andmaybeohhh I don't know,FIX THE GIANT RUST HOLE!

[@mrj-charles6383]

I would have also used something like mold armor to spray everything inside to prevent future mold issues. I have a bit of an OCD and I take it apart I make sure everything is cleaned like new before putting back together.

[@jpcheco]

Would have been easier to shampoo the carpets while they were on the floor...???

[@Sol-su2mi]

maybe he will fully detail it when its complete?

[@stubberific]

Saving a Corvette and a gecko earns you some extra special cred. Well done, sir.

@@josephklein4451 He left it there this video, we don't know what he plans to do about it in the future, so, save that until the car is finished and if he didn't fix it by then, then you point it out.

[@josephklein4451]

@@Skyfire_The_Goth the correct way to fix that is when you have everything out of the car.why put it all back to just have to take it all out again to fix the rust spot?

[@Skyfire_The_Goth]

@@josephklein4451 That's the way you'd do it, and probably I'd do it that way too, but we're not him, he might pull that part of the carpet back out, or he might be able to fix it from the outside, we don't know what he has planned.

I used to live in florida. I never went into my house through my garage because they would run right in so I would go to my front door but I always used a mini light which was on my keychain so I can see the ground at night as I walked to my front door. Try not to step on any snakes geckos or any lizards in general. It was an adventure to get in your house back then. I'm in Georgia now still a hot place but not like Florida and no more lizard adventures... LOL
