Putting NEW DOORS On My COPART Kia Optima Revealed MORE DAMAGE

Thanks for the content and repairing cars that normal people can buy. Too many people doing the exotics thing...

Dont forget to change over the key cylinder in the door

[@jamescatdad3508]

Good catch

[@mikevincent7521]

He knows better than that.

[@dewaynek8591]

I was coming on here to say the same thing, it’s easy to forget when your door is demolished and the used door comes complete.

[@andreystarovoytov3337]

He can still get in from passenger side, like Hoovie in his X5.

[@Cartier_specialist]

Actually it shouldn't matter unless the battery goes dead because most cars from the last decade have a keyless entry fob and the fob activates the lock regardless of what cylinder is in the handle. The door was pretty much destroyed so it may not be recoverable. A locksmith could rework the cylinder for whatever key you have in less time than it took to watch this video.

[@thevalentinp]

Don’t forget to re-key the new door! Love the channel THANKS!

[@jaym9529]

J n J parts are a perfect match. What a great parts supplier. Really do a great job

[@husseinhussein5565]

I was looking at the 2016 Optima ex and 2016 mazda on copart and planning on getting this mechanic who does car rebuilds but I wasn't sure on how everything was going to go and you drop this video series which really helped me understand everything thank you JRGO

[@ewanstewart8011]

Hey JR I think you have the best channel on KZbin and I can’t wait for your next video, you and all your friends are so down to earth and practical, it’s a pleasure watching you guys work in harmony 👍🏻

[@zachyurkus]

No joke I just did almost the same thing on my 03 IS300. Two doors came from J&J/eBay (same color and everything) and the fender came from another donor car but it was also the same color. J&J’s service is amazing and their packaging on the double-decker pallet they built for the doors was perfect. They couldn’t have arrived any better.

[@andreystarovoytov3337]

I fixed quite a few crashed cars, it's almost always better to just replace those hinges, even if the hood is not bent too bad, it's almost impossible to get it aligned, not worth the trouble. If the main part is damaged, best to just replace those hinges.

[@dandeman46]

John there are two things I look forward to that really makes my day complete: #1- a new WatchJRGo video that can surprise me with the new project of the day. #2- Cleetus McFarland drops a new video showing what he and his circus of clowns can do to squeeze as much hp out of an LS engine. Thanks for all you do for us viewers. Glad you are doing what you love full time now. Be safe!

[@dj_spaulding]

He probably took the Lambo video down because everyone was having anxiety attacks over that kid swinging that steel pole around all those cars :)

[@cadman10000]

My butt was puckered for for first 7 minutes of the video.

[@MrWoodyBalto]

At the very end of this video he says he was Asked to take it down. I'm sure the little heathens dad was not happy to see thousands of people questioning his parenting skills. The video was supposed to be about his cool cars but the kid completely stole the show (not in a good way).

[@Bicketybam68]

I don't know why people were upset with the kid though, his dad was superchill with it (and he would know what his child was like with things like that) plus at the start the kid was even full of information about the Lambo's, so even at that age he probably has a healthy respect for them.

[@cadman10000]

@@Bicketybam68 Because watching a kid swing a 6 foot long rod of metal conduit around millions of dollars worth of super rare cars was distracting and nerve racking no matter if the kid knows more about Lambs than anyone watching.

[@Digital-Dan]

That was just bein' a kid 60-70 years ago -- entertaining yourself, pretending to do damage, staying out of the way of the adults . . . Also, kids become much more capable and aware at a much younger age than you might think. You guys are pretty easily triggered.

Neat KIA video. Wanted to say thanks for letting us know what an Audi R8 looks like cuz one went by me the other day and I would not have really noticed if not for your video.

[@ruststar]

Good point

[@terrylessmann2274]

I was thinking the same thing.

[@jeffreyrigged]

shouldnt affect it the glass its not really anywhere to put stress on it. if it cracks the glass from that you would have to worry about a bunch of things.

[@michelswerissen6544]

Here's a tip I learned all ways replace glass last especially if your working on the frame of the car, stretching or bending it, hope all goes well.

[@boricuacv]

I love these Kia videos; Optimas are great cars. This will make a great driver for someone, super cool to see you giving it a second chance at life.

[@VidTubeWatch]

Glad to see this one almost finished. I've enjoyed this content as well. I emailed J&J about some parts and told them I found them because of you. I guess since you haven't read my email about the 944 that this Kia is the one I should buy. LOL.

[@DeadReckon]

Man I use to work in the auto glass industry, delivered windshields to installers for PGW... Those damn stick on foam blocks are gonna give me PTSD flashbacks. When the windshields are packed in a crate they're often packed with like and not alike windshields so they use those blocks in varying sizes, shapes, thicknesses, and seemingly glue strengths. Some of those things DO NOT like to come off!

[@GEAUXFRUGAL]

Rented a 92 caddy in 92 and it had auto dimmer mirrors. Drove that car to LACA 1,082 miles odo 6,080 when we returned it. 7 day rental unlimited miles

[@codycrawford2385]

Yea some Kia dealers order there cars with the Auto Dimming and compass mirror, you can order one and put it in

KOOL-AID!

[@dlinemusic]

Does this mean parts for the Rolls Smoke came in?

[@DuggleBogey]

I had the glass done on my Volt recently and since I work for a company that sells auto glass I got it at cost and I was shocked at how much markup there is on auto glass.

[@dave11686]

Can’t wait to see the finished product

[@MadMedeiros]

You could have easily replaced the upper moulding on the windshield, most glass shops supply an aftermarket moulding that replicates the oem inner moulding at the top. I’m a glass guy and have done tons of those kias, it’s not a big deal that it’s not there, just kind of annoys me how he basically said it doesn’t use it, when it should really be optional.

[@williamscoufaras7045]

When you busted through the crash wrap, you sounded like the Kool Aid man! 😂 Btw, great video JR! Can’t wait to see the finished product! 😁

[@2Hunnit_Hawka]

I really want you to keep this car for some reason.. it’s simple they seem to be pretty reliable and looks decent. I like late model Kia Optimas

[@Joyos77]

0:12 And this ladies and gentleman is how little JR was born.

[@Scotty_in_Ohio]

Kia typically only offers auto dimming / HomeLink rearview mirrors as a dealer installed option or bought as an "accessory" in their parts department. I have one for my Soul that I've not installed yet - they usually go for around $100 on eBay (new) and around half that for used depending on what features you'd like (compass, temp, etc.)... What that roughly translates to is there won't be a "factory" harness for the power - you'll need to run it down along the a-pillar or "steal" it from the dome light circuit.

[@ajw828]

I was thinking more Ace Ventura exiting the rhino, but Kool-Aid guy works too 😂

[@kevincollins2184]

If Ace Ventura and Kool aid had kid that's what it's birth would be like 👍

[@racerx009]

That Kia gave birth to the Jrgo!

[@drsysop]

If the buyer checks the Carfax & Auto Check they wont pay $10k maybe 7-8k possible. Insurance companies will advise owner it was in a wreck & will affect insurance rates.

[@yazanbaddawi9683]

The first thing came to mind with that intro was Ace Ventura coming out of the rhino from behind hahahaha

[@jean-marcandjoshua-petsjournal]

The Kia birthed a JRGO, awesome!

[@MatthewHoman]

I'd like to see a frame straightening video of this car.

[@dave1135]

Hate to say, but with a side impact like that There's Always some body damage that you have to pull the rockers and hinge mounts out a little to restore straightness

@@WatchJRGoit's fantastic. Perfect choice for that. I heard it in the Porsche video not to long ago and started listening to it frequently. Love the vids man.

[@Zhek088]

Watching him go threw the plastic reminded me of the movie ace Ventura when he came out of the rhino haha

[@Mike-id1bk]

No disrespect intended, but maybe actually knowing what you are doing/getting into ahead of time would help. Pillar damage wasn't hidden, I'm just not sure you know what to look for. Side hit like that will almost ALWAYS have that type of damage, first thing you look for, and a big part of the reason why cars like that get totaled.

[@Eric-ks4em]

Yay more copart Kia Optima yaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

[@ThaMythbuster]

Hey man, the trim below the windows on the doors seems to be different from the original doors, look at where the rear door meets at the C-pillar, looks like the new doors have thinner trim there? Perhaps you can swap them over from the crashed doors still.

[@jacknimble1]

@@elesjuan Poeple forget that it is hard to get a bank loan for salvage title cars so it means cash paying folks and cash paying folks don't want kia's. I agree, the car isn't worth $10k or anywhere close to it.

[@htwhls19]

Put it on cars n bids and see what it’s worth!

[@dougbeatty4730]

Must be you guys haven’t driven a newer Kia there vehicles have come along way.

[@elesjuan]

@@dougbeatty4730 LOL. It's really interesting how the internet is soooo jam packed full of kia apologists. Can't tell you how many hundred times I've heard "they've really come a long way.". That's literally like saying, "my dogs shit tastes a little less bad than it used to." Tell me... When did this miraculous improvement take place? Yesterday? Cause last I saw, there were still millions of less than 3 year old models recalled for engine failures, vehicle fires, airbags deploying while you're driving down the road, air bags not deploying during collision events, sunroof exploding, brake failures, subframe rotting out from under 2 year old cars, fuel leaks, electrical failures... The list goes on and on. Bottom line, I couldn't possibly care less how much "better" they are. Having formerly worked in a dealership that had a Kia franchise, you're only fooling yourself if you think kias are worth buying. There's a hundred different cars out there you'd be better off buying than a piece of shit kia.

Awesome!, you looked like Neo getting unplugged The Matrix

[@69Dartman]

My Neon the door got over sprung hard into the fender destroying the skin and it pulled out the upper hinge. Now the replacement door is out about a inch because the mounting point is egged out about a inch too. I have to figure out how to push that point close to flat again so I can get the door and fender back into the body and lined up. I got it looking fine but if you know what your looking at it's way out. It opens and closes and window works so that's as far as it got. I bet you have similar issues with the center pillar with the tweaked parts. I could use a frame machine or something, still thinking of a driveway way to do it.

[@TheBrokenLife]

Bottle jack and a tree?

[@69Dartman]

@@TheBrokenLife Ya know that's exactly what I was thinking. My car port has 6x6 posts holding it up cemented into the ground and I bet it could take it. Just trying to work up the ambition to probably take the door back off and give it a shot. I'm hoping I can do it without pulling the door but I think I need the room. I didn't realize how badly the mount point was out till I couldn't get the door right and started looking for why...

[@TheBrokenLife]

@@69Dartman I don't think I'd recommend using a piece of your house for the job when there are giant trees virtually everywhere.

[@69Dartman]

@@TheBrokenLife yeah, but nothing safely in my front yard. I have trees but couldn't get close enough to do any good. I could probably give it a test and if things start creaking not go any farther. Or use a junk car as the back stop.

[@TheBrokenLife]

@@69Dartman Got a buddy with a tree? A frequently empty park? FWIW, I bought a 24" hydraulic ram for exactly this type of thing at HFT for under $100 (basically it's a ram that you would use in an engine hoist). So... If you could get within 4 feet of a tree, that would work. Personally, other than the challenge of just doing it at home, I'd have a shop do it for a couple hundred and move on. Or maybe change your thoughts to pulling it from the opposite side with a ratchet strap instead of pressing it from the damage side.
