[@interstateboss5921]

These guys really inspired me to go for it. Inspection day on my 1st ever rebuilt C6 is on the 30th of this month !!!!! Awesome content!!

[@scraplifegarage]

That’s what I like to hear! Congrats!

[@interstateboss5921]

@@scraplifegarage Thanks so much !!!!

[@interstateboss5921]

PASSED INSPECTION !!!! I'm going to say this for all the people who watch this channel that are on the fence about buying salvage cars from the auction. I been wanting to do this for over a decade. Never quite had the stones to really do it. When I saw these guys taking apart and putting Vettes together it looked so simple. It gave me the confidence to go for it. I purchased an auction C6 that needed fenders and a bumper. The car got delivered 2 weeks later. The title came a week after that. Fixed the car in 2 weeks. Got it inspected 2 weeks after that and now the car is legal. It only took that long because it was my first time. I know now to schedule the salvage inspection way in advance since that's what takes the most time to schedule. Moral of the story. If you are the fence, just do it and you will thank yourself later. It's still unreal to me. I never thought I'd ever ride in cars like this. Thanks to LeeCParts for the parts. Thanks to Scraplife garage for the content that helped me rebuild the vette. Just do it guys. !!!

If the ecu got knocked off the engine did not run at all after the wreck.

[@JasonMcCord-qk3yb]

Yeah, I noticed that too. That engine shut down the second the accident happened.

[@JasonMcCord-qk3yb]

Nice! I’m glad to see you are making videos that aren’t project related. I’ve missed these walk-around videos!

[@scraplifegarage]

Had to get some projects wrapped up! It’s been a BUSY couple months!

[@russelbarns1737]

Hey Lee, you're walk around visits to the salvage yards are always very informative and entertaining 👍

[@martinblanco7899]

I had to re build my c5 , I saw how much meat was on that z06 for 11k was a deal! Thanks for not gate keeping! Love scrap life 🔥🔥

[@mustangjunk6013]

“Meatloaf was here” - Meatloaf

[@Turboy65]

The engine didn't complete three revolutions once the ECU harness was destroyed. So it probably didn't suffer from an oil starvation problem due to the destroyed oil tank. It probably fragmented at the same moment as the ECU and harness were wiped out.

[@xinx-fn8973]

The LS6 was also put into the 1st Gen CTS-V

[@tripstomexico9770]

Your videos inspired me to jump “in” the business, got a $850 2015 ford focus clean title and all it needed was a battery and a deep clean. At the end of the day I flipped it for $4600🤝🏼

[@scraplifegarage]

Hell yea!

[@nunyabusiness6400]

That Grand Sport!!! I'm with you on that color combo with the red GS fender stripes and red interior!

[@zachattack2016]

The LS2 block is more durable then the ls3 because of the thicker cylinder walls. Can handle boost better. The heads are great, but for smaller engines, you can bolt on the ls3 heads and intake, also you can do a 402 stroker, bore it .005" and you have a 408.

[@oler777]

Do you have a key and the radio door code transcivor? And can i buy them both my 07 c6 cant get a key reprogrammed because its broken and cant sence any key

[@WayApp]

Thanks for sharing your experience with us!

[@MrDeadsr]

pop up headlights are the best, its what i dislike about the last few generations of Corvette. And the rear lights.

[@larrystar3693]

Been watching you guys for like 2months strong you have good solid team around you. An I like that Lightblue Corvette hope u don't get rid of it. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK

[@oler777]

Dibbs on c6 widebody real pannels!!!!

[@christopherhilkin473]

That LS7 can go into a Fiero. It's been done successfully!!!

[@PaddyBoy644]

I was unlucky enough to have a 2006 HSV GTS with the LS2 and the piston slap was incredible till it warmed up!

buy em all - sort it out later.....

[@scraplifegarage]

That’s a dangerous game partner!

[@malikdigger4544]

Next ti a C1,C2,C3 & C7 Vette thd C5 is also are kool especially the 50th Anniversary & Gransporr which not easy to find Scaplife think 03 C5 Anniversary Edition is good buy despite bad passenger side rear damage.

[@oler777]

Are you selling the wheels? Where at

[@matthewmartin9067]

Been waiting for this !!!

[@aaah4642]

The C5 is definitely my favorite corvette by far, excited to see more C5 content!

[@RipRoaringGarage]

Those seats...just a shame about that car overall. And while I share the sentiment of the guy that couldnt watch (some of them, I couldnt myself, not without crying inside), I get it. Could be worse, seeing some classic cars get wrecked bad and totaled out. Or the absolute worst, a Demon that gets totalled, and then never gets repaired and rots away...hehe. PS I know youre working on the video (hopefully) and it takes time, so eager to see that one

[@nathanwarren1126]

whats the go with the cars under the red covers? are they cars people have died in?

[@glennlozuke268]

Really informative...thx

[@Kuwait99]

More videos about c6 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@robertmyers6488]

What a great color.

[@highlanderc]

C5 with Centennial seats!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@mac9955]

What was wrong with that Camaro next to the first Vett?

[@ike01coolxd29]

In my experience 40psi oil pressure with cold oil seems low.

[@andrewbeetz2196]

Great video, and great C5! Well bought!

[@juniorbermudez1718]

I would reach out to HRE and see if the can get you new set of wheel barrels???

[@jamesparker6017]

Coral Gables 🌴🇺🇸 Hehe Love my C 6 's. Breakin my ❤. 🏄

[@jlakindd]

Waiting for you guys to buy a 997.2 911 C2S and rebuild. 997 market is crazy rn

[@JUST_ONE_ID10T]

looks like that black and the red c5 could be made into one good car with both of them and then part out the parts car.

[@schawn4925]

If the ECU wires got sheared off like that, is it most likely gonna cut the engine off instantaneously?

[@scraplifegarage]

Yes it is

[@steelwheels327]

You're really savvy on parts value !!

[@davebarron5939]

Stupid question, why is the C5 a parts car and not repairable? Did I miss something? Thanks.

[@IlovemySubaru]

What is going on with the Mitsubishi 3000 vr4?

[@retrobear9367]

I love my cheap aftermarkets seats in my Yellow c5. But damn those c6 seats would look better

[@BVance1972]

What are the cars in background, that’s covered with red-ish tarp ? I’m sure the story’s interesting?

[@jucedcustoms2274]

Need that LS3 for my 85 monte ss

[@giorgitadumadze8490]

[@Lsmomo55]

[@6.4erik]

[@michaelcampanella9724]

It would be really cool to see you spice it up bmw m series m6 v10 🙂

[@cronk6879]

I wonder if you can get that lip fixed on the wheel or replace that alone rather than buying a whole new wheel

[@RipJayOn23]

Wish he could fix it😢

[@ronaldrey8474]

Whole section covered with like red tarps ? Is that bio-guarantee instead of biohazard ??

[@scraplifegarage]

Those are the cars that are under police hold etc. part of an investigation

[@ronaldrey8474]

@@scraplifegarage hehehe love to take a drug dog through there. Lol ahh to help the authorities of course

[@Eatongee]

What are the cars covered in red?

[@davidr6865]

Probably biohazard

[@TheDingopaul]

I was thinking the same thing

[@randysinger2673]

was just going to ask the same question.

[@nigelw598]

They have mentioned before that they are involved in ongoing police investigations. 👍🍻

[@anthonysiegel4685]

Really 10gz..man here in L.A. you can buy a driver for that

[@gd1996]

Too many vettes for me again lol... but that happens a lot on this channel and knowing the parts value, it's obvious why.

[@brianreid5891]

“For a Volkswagen” Im truly offended considering the VR6 is probably the best sounding 6 cylinder there ever was! How dare you sir…How dare you! 😂

[@Clank_TTV]

lmao that was my old atomic ornage c6 z06 before i sold it. I guess whoever i sold it didnt have the best luck.

[@xd_dirkjan]

What’s the deal with the cars all sealed up in red plastic… law enforcement/ DEA seized.

[@gregl4244]

Clear tail lights are so much uglier than stock c5 lights.

[@roemalo4331]

Man I built my credit up for two years, taking rides to work from my very good friends, I spent 3 months looking for a truck, and I fucked up bad. Bought a ram 1500 with the 5.7. I watched it for a week. Drove it twice. My dad drove a 99 2500, he passed 2 years ago, it made me remember him and that truck. The day after I bought it, I started it up in the morning to drive to work and.... TICK TICK TICK TICK TICK. Quietens after 30 seconds, when its warm and it starts you cant hear it at all. I drove to work that week and realized the horrid mistake I just made. That was 3 months ago and I'm too ashamed of my stupid self to even tell any of my friends. I'm so broke if you knew me you wouldn't want to know me. I dont know what the fuck to do, I'm just venting.

[@alexgerstmann3007]

Get that car is out of jampa and it has a procharger on it it would be my buddy's old vet super anal about the maintenance and what was done to that car
