A Vehcor BBF (Boring Build Friday) video! Best part of the day. Dripping with hater’s tears and sarcastic comments. It doesn’t get any better than this! 🤘🏻 Have a great weekend Scott.

[@vehcor]

Have a great weekend as well. Thanks for the support!

[@worldhello1234]

Hater's tears? It is more like your glazing is dripping all over vehcor's garage floor. 😂

[@klauswassermann8054]

Enjoying every minute of your vids, quite therapeutic they are. Thanks for taking all the trouble.

[@mikedillon6233]

What would I do without you Scott! Watching somebody's skilled rebuild broken things with a sense of humor is rare! Please continue going to the gym and don't unalive anybody!

As a is350 owner I’m excited to watch this rebuild journey!

[@FlyEaglesFly19111]

Wow someone went to great lengths to shorten it up for aerodynamics. This will be a fun one to watch. Thanks Scott. Stay safe and be well. Have a good weekend

[@Slimnutt]

I recently was rear ended badly and had this exact impact on my car the insurance wrote it off as totaled and wrote me a check I absolutely loved that is250 and still do 🙌🏽RIP but I will continue to watch the rebuild series keep it up🦍🔥

[@zacharywong483]

Fantastic video, Scott! The voice over commentary of the process is greatly appreciated, as always!

[@jimwiskus8862]

Hey, it is Friday! You’ve ushered it in. Great build as usual. I can’t wait to see the final product, but I know it will be perfect. See you in the next installment.

[@kickit59]

Scott another outstanding rebuild! I am looking forward to the next video! Thanks for posting!

[@rileygilmore5132]

I have this same car same color and have been through thick and thin with it insurance wanted to total it when I crashed it as well. But did everything in my power to save it and still drive it every day! Was great to see you do this work!

[@deebee3901]

Brilliant video mate - thanks for sharing! Can't wait for more on this car.

[@8056443232]

For fun - "every car rusts." Friend had a 59 Dodge truck and I think the thing was made out of Stainless! At the very least it was a high nickel content of some sort. Talking the entire body, bed, frame, suspension (if you can call leaf springs "suspension"). It had lots of exposed metal, but no rust damage anywhere. California is good, but that truck was truly amazing. He kept it looking original, why not? It was a truly solid truck and testimony to "they don't build 'em like that anymore!"

[@j81851]

Never a boring build on Friday! Too much fun given the car got a good smack in the rear! You make it look way too easy but I know there is skill and experience behind all the levity and good fun, Truly yours is one of the best channels and I always look forward to a new build! Have a great weekend!

[@rafaeltorovip]

Engeniaring definition - solve a problem overcomplicating things. Excellent video as always 👍.

[@ryanmacewen511]

I has a 2006 IS250. Great little car. Got rear ended. By great I mean it drove amazing. Problem is, it's a fake 4 door. NO legroom at all in the back. Seat passthrough is only big enough for a small coffee. So haters wont be pissing on themselves as much.

[@wesleyschoppa6808]

I start every Saturday morning by watching the latest Vehcor video. Originally got hooked by the Mustang (RIP) but keep coming back for the content and commentary. Keep it up!

[@chriswinding8735]

Scott the reverse lights work- no problem there! Never mind just hit “the pile” ! Have a great weekend!

[@jesusuranga8857]

Recently I rebuilt a 2017 Chevy Cruze with a clean title it came from Waco Texas, you do find some clean title cars that were totaled down here in Texas don't know how it works but works for me! Reason they get "total loss' is because shops charge a lot of money to fix but where I get them painted they charge per job not per hour that is how cost of repairs is low for me, also I do most of the straightening and assembly and part replacement the body shop guy only does the final adjustments and paint.

[@muskokamike127]

10:30 I remember when parcel shelves were big enough for 2 kids to sleep in comfortably! (yes I'm that old hahaha)

I’ve thought about “unaliving” more than one person this week…it’s why I workout and bourbon too! Thanks for another build for us.

Great project and as usual, a good backstory. Love the sarcasm and the voiceover commentary. Looking forward to the next episode, have a great weekend! 😎

[@glen4130]

I really like the rough pulls on the frame machine to get things to a point to remove them. Was hoping for some sawzall action.

[@12wingwfetech]

I bought a 2003 IS 300 new drove it for 11 years never once did the check engine light ever come on when I sold it even still had all the original brake pads and battery , never had 1 problem with it . Great car mine had a straight six I think the newer ones have V sixes in them.

[@galehbedrousian1178]

Most reliable cars ever Have owned couple of them before and still driving a 2006 IS350 I think this is the 3rd IS on your channel Very excited

Hey! I've got a 92 4Runner that's made of rust! Only thing holding it together is the paint over that rust. Thanks for making my Friday.

[@htownblue11]

Scott trolling clean freaks, safety experts, and internet experts is high level mechanical entertainment. Well done as always. Not bad for a guy who never makes any money rebuilding all these cars as “they” say….😂🤣😂

[@paulpierson2137]

It is so nice to see Bauer tools in action. Normally I just see Milwaukee, DeWalt, or some other high priced name. Keeping it real.

[@curtisevans6914]

You are the master rebuild guy the auto industry should hire you for their first builds

[@CR7659]

Reminds me of the packer cars they used to use way way back at the clay track here. They'd cut flaps out of the fenders to fit wide tires on, then as the frame rotted they'd cut the whole back off the car so it didn't fall off and keep running it until it was dead. Maroon '67 Buick LeSabre is one I remember that got that treatment.

[@chrisgray2956]

I just wanna know one thing….does it have intermittent wipers?!?….if so I’m buying it off you now as is….love your sense of humor..literally the same stuff that makes our business tolerable day in and day out…your the best man

Love that reverse scream almost as good as the Wilhelm scream.

On my 2002 Acrua MDX-- it also has heated mirrors, heated seats, moon roof, duel climate control, auto-dimming rear-view mirror, navigation/ reverse camera, 3 rows of leather seats, memory seats and AWD... I'm sure this has all those goodies too.

[@forceablepizza764]

Feeling a little attacked over here. I've got 4 cars and all of them have cracked windshields. I do replace them because they still keep the weather out. Plus, the big trucks like to throw rocks at you on the highway. I really enjoy your videos. Found your channel by chance thanks to the mustang build. Stayed for all the great repair work you do and also the humor. Keep up the great content.

[@MarshallLoveday]

Little story from my insurance adjuster days..... At a shop, looking at a 2-3 year old '82 Camaro. Rear hit. Rear body panel caved in. Minor damage to the rear of the hatch. Glass was intact. I opened the hatch to look at the floor, and it wouldn't go up very far. Forced it open just a little bit more and BOOM! Glass exploded. Turned out the hatch structure had twisted and tweaked the hinges........ "Add a used hatch to that estimate, will you?"..........

[@johnds6621]

I'm glad you like challenges it makes for interesting videos. Thanks Scott.

[@sydsnott5042]

What a good do. Looking forward to the next episode of this repair.

[@matthewbieser8241]

[@patrickzadd5215]

I really enjoy watching the process…. you take these vehicles… that look destroyed and with skill and effort…. make them valuable again

[@mestupkid689]

Lisle part number 38350. Get those pliers and some spray lube you'll never use a pry bar on rubber baby buggy bumpers again. Your videos help me do my job foreal. I take apart interiors and have to bang out body panels and whatnot on top of mechanics. I'm not a pbe guy lol

[@OtherSarah2]

In Texas, we put a windshield in oftener than we put fresh paint on. My '97 is on her third front glass....and factory paint, which looks about as bad as you'd imagine. :)

[@Blazer2533]

Looks like this Lexus took it up the rear hard with no lube but thankfully it went to Dr. Scott to get it's rear straightened out and fixed back to normal.I do believe Dr. Scott can fix anything after seeing all these videos.

[@jokekelleey2071]

Amazing the exhaust pipes get didn't even get touched I wonder if the guy backed into something

[@ditherdather]

My last car was an 88 Toyota Camry. It threw a rod a few weeks ago, and it was SO rusty that my mechanic said that even if I sourced another used engine that he wouldn't install it due to safety concerns. lol. The rocker panels had disintegrated almost entirely, the wheel wells were rusted out, quarter panels rotting away, and the rear bumper actually fell off the car at one point because the mounts rusted into two. I only paid $600 for it though, and it lasted me 3 years. I've had more than enough money to buy something nicer (and safer), but I was trying to be frugal. After it threw a rod I went out and bought a new BMW. The dealership joked about how big of a swing my upgrade was. 😂

I have never seen one with an abbreviated trunk before. Sort of like a BMW E36 318ti but without the creases in the rear quarter panels. "Let me see. I am nearsighted, lost my glasses but going to drive anyway. Is this Drive?" Slams car 55 mph in reverse, hits nearest stationary object.

[@klaw163]

You're lucky, here in the people's republic of NY even if it's a clean title as soon as the insurance company "owns" it it's considered salvage and has to go through a salvage inspection and have the title branded as such

I have known that a totalled vehicle can have a clear title but I don't know how it is determined. I've seen cars with less damage as salvaged title. Perhaps you can discuss the why or why not in a future episode?
