I Rebuilt A 'TOTALED' C6 Corvette From Copart For UNDER $1000!!

[@xnadave]

Applause! I for one am glad to see a Corvette saved instead of parted out. Looks great.

[@melissadunagan6596]

Me too

[@Co1eTrain84]

Especially a well optioned lower trim

[@ftboomer1]

For every parted out Vette, there is another one saved.

[@michaelRay2576]

He that began a good work in you will faithfully complete it . 🙏🏾👍🏽💪🏿

@@michaelRay2576 Huh?

[@derekwork6749]

please keep doing rebuilds. i like seeing stuff returned to its former glory rather than in a bin

[@idodegen594]

as a Corvette owner I'm glad to see this one be able to make it back on the road... great content.

[@DB1Journeys]

I rebuilt a 2014 Mustang and at my first salvage inspection, I was denied because I hadn't painted the bumper yet. Never realized that paint mattered in the safety of the car. But, took it back to the shop, painted it, and everything was good.

[@michaelf.1581]

Very entertaining! Loved seeing the process from the amount invested to final product. Wondering how much it would sell for.

[@scraplifegarage]

I’ll be sure to update when it sells!

[@phillipberk5767]

@@scraplifegarage out of curiosity, been about a year, what did it go for? Given the usual 50-60% of clean title value rule for pricing rebuilt titles, my guess is you still prob got 18k+ give or take?

[@bigd9848]

First time I came across your channel and I love it.Great job on this project.You have a great shop it’s a good business.Enjoy your day ✊

[@robertguerrero8009]

Very nice rebuild and appreciate your honesty, thanks for sharing, cheers..

i did not know you could change the body panel like you did. Very cool.

[@willab3626]

I liked seeing you guys fix one for a change. Love to see more of that content.

I love the chemistry these two have working together. Love that 2008 black beauty.

This video is solid all the way through I have a c6 08 m6 CA CT and his sale numbers for current market are on point!

Enjoyed this content very much. Should continue this style. It works! Fernando is the man. Your channel just popped up in my feed yesterday. Never seen it before.

[@scraplifegarage]

Everyone love Fernando!

[@alk3myst]

I learned today that those rear quarters are removable with simple hardware. nice

[@leefearon6226]

I always enjoy your videos especially fixing cars keep it up.

[@jacksavage2612]

So happy I found your channel man, not only is the quality of work and people there but the video quality as well! An added bonus I’m right across the bridge in annapolis! Keep on keeping on!

[@johnpick8336]

You have the Best Scrap Yard Walk Arounds on KZbin ! Fixing stuff is great to watch too.

[@nunyabusiness6400]

Really enjoy the rebuild videos. Looking forward to more, especially the turbo 911 rebuild!

[@scraplifegarage]

You and me both! Thanks for watching!

[@josephgyselhart2505]

It's good to see a car back to life good job love the show

[@scraplifegarage]

Glad you enjoyed it thanks for watching!

[@codyadams5182]

I did the rear wheel bearings on my 05 ,you made it look easier than it was..lol..I love that Sienna interior.

[@scraplifegarage]

It only looked short because I cut out the parts what I was cussing at the car.

[@craigcaggiano431]

Enjoyed this video, that you put the Vette together rather than tearing it apart

[@natethegreatog]

I’m a ford guy but I love corvettes! Great work glws! If for sale and not a toy!

[@d.j.9961]

You can get a front wheel drive wheel bearing installer/removal tool from ebay & it allows you to extract a wheel bearing without a press & install the new bearing. All it is, is a forcing screw with several sized disc & cups. Works great!!!

[@patrickantonissen2496]

Nice to see it’s easy to repair, so also keep making these kind of video’s 👍🏼

[@JamesDavis-us6uw]

I love to see guys who know what they're doing.

[@scraplifegarage]

And you’re watching us idiots!?

[@mustangboss1246]

You have earned yourself a new subscriber. This is what I like to see. Cars being saved and not parted out. Please try do more like this. From Johannesburg South Africa. We dont get that class of cars so much here. They are very rare here and sell for over a million Rand.

[@troydunn04]

I love the corvette content. I just hope you continue doing content on them. you are very good at this.

[@TheBBodyBuilder]

Really enjoyed the revival videos…it’s nice to see you save one from time to time.

[@cmoney360CS]

Found your channel from the 997 turbo. Can’t stop watching. Keep it up man, you’ll be at 100k soon.

[@karlsamanek554]

A well maintained C6 in black is already a contemporary classic. Still a beautiful head-turner, reliable, fast and incredibly fun to drive (especially here in Germany with mostly no speed limits).

[@scraplifegarage]

How rare are corvettes over there?

[@karlsamanek554]

@@scraplifegarage very, very rare. The general importing company for European countries, croymans, went bancrupt in 2006 or so. So for years, there were no vettes imported to the EU.

[@mikecrew2298]

loved seeing a vette survive 🎉 more please 🙏

[@benjamingill9361]

I just want to hang out in your shop all day and watch the cars. I love this.

[@threeballedtomcat9380]

The C-5 and C-6 Corvettes were "Screwed and Glued" , which was a big improvement over the C-4 and C-3 bodies. Great job, guys ! Good to see one worth repairing ! There was a book written about the C-5 'Vette called "All Corvettes are Red" and after I read that book I found a very nice used C-5 and it was the best car I ever owned. I wish I were able to buy the car you guys have repaired because I feel that you guys care that your repairs are the "real deal" , and you give a damn about your reputation, which is VERY good ! You guys do good work, you make me miss when I was working on cars and trucks

[@cameronh7534]

It’s really cool to see one that was totaled be turned around and fixed again. I had an orange automatic c6 that got totaled because someone didn’t yield but now I have a blue one that I like more that’s a manual

[@OMGWTFLOLSMH]

Daytona Sunset or Atomic Orange? I prefer the Atomic Orange by far.

[@JBF_100]

Great work guys! Very interesting to see how all of this is done! I learned quite a bit, car sounds great.........wish it was a manual! Looking forward to what's next! Thanks again!!

[@davidvasta]

I did just learn that the quarter panel was bolted on...that is amazing! Now I want one even more. Did you sell this one?

[@messenger8139]

Good work! You've earned every penny of what your sale price should be. Love it when things work smoothly.

[@TimG2553]

The sound the vette makes is amazing love to own one one day not many here in the uk 🇬🇧

[@robertjones1709]

Great Turnaround 👍 on that Rig! Most definitely worth the 20K + you mentioned. '08 -'09 my favorite with the LS3 Nice.

[@paulford5725]

Hi guys, new subscriber here, really enjoyed both parts from start to finish. I'm watching from Australia and look forward to the next project. 🥇

It just so happens you might get your wish sooner than later..

It sucks to get an alignment and then have to put your wheel on again lol thanks for the content it’s nice seeing you drive that beauty.

Yeah, good video seeing a Vette put back together

[@iannorton4463]

Definitely enjoyed seeing this kind of vlog but it's still hard to say what I prefer because I'm a brand new subscriber. The couple of vlogs I have seen are very good. Also because I'm in England, I get to see loads of cool American cars. ✌️🇬🇧✌️🇺🇸

[@waynek921]

I Really enjoyed the video and more of these would be great for the channel. Keep up the great work 💪

[@scraplifegarage]

Well I have good news for you because I’m rebuilding another c6 as we speak!

[@robertjones1709]

I agree! If you are able to bring any car back around, even if it's a Juke? 😁 Sure why not that Corvette is nice even though it's a Manual. I would daily that thing for sure, I'm actually jealous would love to be wrenching on stuff like that, great content guys

[@zoesdad71]

Very much enjoyed the repair video.

[@victorrobinson9116]

Me myself I would not throw away the rear spoiler you just took off a little JB weld or plastic adhesive can fix that body Wing repaint it rattle can and just resell it for at least $50 FYI I'm just saying, Victor from Palmdale California have a good day

[@scraplifegarage]

You’re right, it can definitely be fixed but when you can get them new for $100, the time and effort just doesn’t make sense right now! Thanks for watching

[@markrichardson3566]

Always more corvettes, cheers from Canada ❤️

[@Co1eTrain84]

body panels yes you can bolt them on(i had a C5). The rear tubs unfortunately aren't as easy. Mine had been very lightly rear ended and we found there is actually ways to section in the tub :)

[@Powershift]

Great job. Love the outtakes at the end of the videos too. LOL

To avoid inadvertent welding, disconnect the negative battery lead first and connect it last.

Hay I built a Black Corvette 2008, LS 3, 6 Speed Trans Tremec 6060 and Just like dat and another one 2007 Convertible Automatic w 6.0 !! It cost me a lot more than that to complete. ! What a great cars !!!! I tried to sell them with a Salvage Title and Nobody wanted to purchase them so I have been driving them for about 6 or 7 years now !!! These were my first cars and since then I have learned a LOT of info since then. The Black Vette had a least 20 k in it because I had to pay for almost everything ! It was a great experience. ! I got them from Co Part also. They have TRIPLED their prices and to get a decent car is so costly it's not worth the trouble. Find one somewhere else. From an owner would be a better and smarter purchase. Had fun, try it sometime and SAVE a great car !! David S in Ponchatoula, La.

[@davidlsteinwinderii3331]

It is sad that I have them both and really appreciate them but they are both broken down, Just replaced a shift cable and somehow the car will not start now, and the Black Corvette needs a clutch replacement and this is totally out of my repair ability. So I can t get anyone to fix the car that doesn't want to FLEECE me !! Too Bad Huh? David S. New Orleans area.

What is the difference ? Salvage title, repaired , then a clean title? Is it still sold as a salvaged tittle but repaired? Insurable? Different from state to state? 🌻

Does replacing those rear bearings cause the rear wheels to be out of alignment as you just had the car aligned?
