Rebuilding a TOTALED Pontiac Solstice GXP in 33 Minutes

This week go through the entire rebuild process from picking up the car to the the price reveal in ONE video! We bought this red Solstice GXP that we thought only had some minor rear end damage and no key. After further investigation, we found out that it had frame damage, a timing chain slap, and the dirtiest interior we’ve ever seen. Can we bring this one back from the brink? Hope you enjoy! Thanks so much for watching!

I don’t understand why this channel doesn’t have 300K - 500k subscribers!!!!!!!🤔. It has everything… great content, quality video, great personality and super good rebuilds… let’s forward these videos..! There’s garbage channels with tons of viewers.. just vexes me!

[@rebuildit]

We’d love to have tons of subs, and it may happen someday! Just share us with your friends! Thanks for watching 😁

[@thomasharris5151]

I really do… and you will get there!!! 👌🏾💎🔥😎

Rear dual exhaust valance available in fiberglass from R K SPORT.

[@pmr413]

Wow, that's a long build for you. I can understand putting that rebuild into one video. In the end you saved another beautiful car that was worth the time and effort. The Solstice keeps going up in price especially the GXPs so I think you'll do okay with it.

[@rebuildit]

The Solstice Coupe took us almost a year too. Something about these solstice projects takes forever 🤔

[@user-hb7ic3cf3z]

As always... A very nice car in the end.

[@rebuildit]

Thank you!

[@kirbyof590stars]

A Pontiac Solstice is legit my favorite car, so seeing it trashed like that made me feel so sad 😭 But I thank you for restoring it 😤🗿🔥

[@rebuildit]

If you like solstice rebuilds, check out our playlists, we’ve done 5 different Solstices before this one!

[@nathanielbailey108]

Great price! As an owner of a nearly identical car (besides color) your channel (particularly, unfortunately, the timing chain tutorial) is becoming very helpful. Anytime you do work on this keep sharing! I’ll watch and learn

[@rebuildit]

Glad to hear it’s been helpful! Thanks for watching!

[@whoissterling]

I came here to share this sentiment please keep posting, I’m modding my gxp and these videos help!

[@nathanielbailey108]

what ya doin to it? @@whoissterling

[@vargasjohnson540]

Another excellent video. FWIW, a few folks have cut an exhaust outlet into the single exhaust valance when going to a dual exhaust system. Yes it's a bubba approach, but as you found out finding GXP exhaust valances has become difficult. Another option is NormsFiberglass who offers a few different fiberglass exhaust valances. Though he is known to take awhile to finish projects due to be a small operation, and he amount of orders he receives. Regardless, looks great.

[@rebuildit]

Thank you sir! Good information.

[@worldsgreatestride]

Impressively nice work. You brought junk back to life at a cheap price. Video was excellent all in one 33 minute roll.

[@rebuildit]

Thank you!

I bought my daughter a super clean Sky for her first car.. I’m giving it to her next Friday🤫 I’ve been a watching this channel for a few years and have learned a lot from the channel and the SKY-Solstice. Also what’s your member info on the forum…? I’m a member there too.

[@thomasharris5151]

Also I want that air pump!

[@TheRogerhill1234]

bad idea. give a cheap car, that is cheap to fix, reliable, and already has a bunch of dents on it. Keep the sky for yourself, and keep it in the garage.

[@mxfool1508]

Hi Mark they say all good things take time, in this case it took over a year but it looks awesome as always

[@rebuildit]

Thanks! It kinda just got worked on between other projects. Which made it more difficult to remember where I was at in the process but it came together nicely at the end!

[@johanaxelsson8074]

Gods work!

[@Glizzyoperator]

This is perfect, just picked up a gxp myself that is pretty beat up😅

[@ripleyt1]

By the way, I would like to see a video on removing the convertible top and repairing. :)

[@rebuildit]

We did a video on restoring a convertible top a few years back: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rme9nWysncehr5Y

[@varunmunjal9659]

In this case, gotta ask: Where's the "Thanks!" button?

[@rebuildit]

A comment always works great!

[@markymark2244]

Very sharp car! Only thing I see wrong is cops love red haha. Good thing she is quick!

[@rebuildit]

That’s what the turbo’s for, right?

[@ripleyt1]

I like both fast and slow rebuild videos. Both have their place. Great video, I think you can make a few bucks. With 74k miles was the Cat & Tubo harder to get off than the tutorial?

[@rebuildit]

I’m not sure I understand what you’re asking. The tutorial was done on this car.

[@ripleyt1]

@@rebuildit just thought with more miles on car maybe the cat bolts were harder to get off. I remember the tutorial car only had around 23k. No worries though. 😄

[@rebuildit]

This is the car we did the timing chain tutorial on. Maybe I said wrong mileage on tutorial?

[@ripleyt1]

@@rebuildit oh gotcha. Thought it was the yellow one. Thank you

[@rebuildit]

We used the yellow one on the thumbnail cause we knew it would get more visibility

[@WinnieHome-lt2hu]

Easily 11k cars in the near future

[@jmagilto]

how did you fix the messed up contact paper stuff on the trunk lid where the convertible top fastens?

[@rebuildit]

I didn’t, but I did find some replacement ones on eBay when I was thinking about replacing the old ones.

[@GirthyTikTak]

Just a question, I have an 07 gxp. How did you fix the exhaust rattle?

[@rebuildit]

If I remember correctly, the muffler was pushed forward when the bumper was hit and caused the exhaust pipe to vibrate against the undercarriage. I think I pulled it back out with a hoist.

[@GirthyTikTak]

@@rebuildit thank you so much. Mines rattling a little and just bought it. I'll check to see if the hangars are allowing the exhaust to sway into the bumper! Love the video!

[@justinunger38]

why did you have to reupload this video

[@rebuildit]

It got copyrighted for a song we’ve been using for years. Apparently artists can throw a copyright on a song that they marketed as royalty free for KZbinrs, 5 years after they released it.

[@NilaCheekpeek]

I paid $200 for mine and I'm not going to spend $5,000 on parts when all it needs is a door and a fender and a bumper and maybe replace the top that's less than $1,000 where I'm at

[@rebuildit]

👍🏻

[@creatorsfreedom6734]

Sold as is ? Trash Included ? lol

[@rebuildit]

Trash is extra, since we’d have to dig back through and find it.
