Why I bought an entire car just to take off a few parts and junk it

[@williamfoote2888]

I almost shed a tear for the MKT you’re going to execute, but then I remembered that ‘ It’s a Ford’ and realized that I didn’t care.

Scotty is just saving someone the pain of having to walk everywhere when their Ford breaks down.

[@johnhufnagel]

looks like that 240k is about all that engine will do as well. baby poo, not milk shake, in that engine. also, parts car is about the only answer these days, especially on anything over 10 years old.

[@slidin122]

All the new Fords are bad anyway! The last good year Fords were in 2003. Also, parts nowadays for any car are in short supply and it seems that’s the only way to rebuild

[@Ram14250]

You almost shed a tear for a car with a "cow catcher" grill and a hearse rear end? Don't forget all the nice brittle plastic! Only thing it's missing is the casket for the back. 🙃 Milk shake in a 3.5/3.7... ummm let me guess... a bad water pump leaked all it's goodness into the crankcase. Designed to fail!

I actually studied this video from the production viewpoint taking a mental note every time you reset camera and lighting. Thank you so much for for taking us along for the ride, the effort you make is greatly appreciated 👍

It’s not weird. People don’t realize how much work goes into video production. Once you start making videos, you never watch movies quite the same again. I actually enjoy the video filming and the work. The editing, not so much.

[@litz13]

I needed front end parts for my Jeep XJ after getting clipped by a 16 year old with more get-there-itis than sense. Found the same make, model, year AND COLOR in a yard. That's the ultimate win - $400 for every part I needed and the paint was sun faded to an exact match.

Thanks, I will try.

[@alansmith4734]

Buying a second vehicle for needed parts, in today's economy, does cost less because Parts Availability is crazy! Also, it saves you months, not having to wait! I saw a video where the mechanic needed a gasket for an oil filter housing. The gasket was unavailable, but the oil filter housing w/ needed gasket was available!

That "scraper" that you use to forcibly remove welded panels (using an actual hammer as a hammer this time) is actually called a "5 in 1 tool" and is used by painters to perform their black magic. So another tool that you are using in opposition to its' actual function! Good on you, sir!

As a retired Volvo parts manager I appreciate your quality and explanation of the process of repairing to the genuine original equipment or many times better . I saved for Friday to keep with my regular format . You always amaze me on your ways to save money and time by having Scott's Emporiem ! I think that a few more Lincolns are in your future with side or rear damage . Glad the engine was shot as I hate to see a car ripped apart for a few things and scrapped . I will noe have a double bonus this week as I watch this second posting this week . My the new year bring the best of health and happiness in the new year to all your loved ones ! Your prosperity will continue as your hard work is the key to your success and quality is number one ! Thanks for the two for this week ! A faithful subscriber ! I

Assuming the parts needed are rust free and not damaged, this makes a lot of sense financially. This vehicle has a lot of miles, a bad engine, so scrap anyway, it allows for an economically sound fixing of another similar vehicle.

[@kthwkr]

It' a 2011 and it's breaking mostly because the original manufacturer used plastics that had unstable poly molecules and they have started breaking apart. OTOH, my Honda CRV is 2010 and the plastic parts are healthy. Some of which I recently popped off to fix a little fender bend. I didn't break any of them and after pushing out the dent they popped back on. I think some manufacturers are making cars with no consideration for lasting longer than 10 years because they will be used up North where the salt is going to kill them no matter what. I am thinking they should make two types of cars. One for the rust belt and another for the non-rust belt. A 10 year car and a 20 year car.

Question, rally for anyone, with you battery powered ratchets and impacts do you put them on to charge every night or do you have multiple batteries so you can wait until they are dead to recharge? Being a professional I know you are running them way more than a hobbiest like myself, but just curious.

[@muskokamike127]

10:56 Question for you: when you're pulling parts off one, is it advantageous to have the 2nd car next to you so as you pull parts off, you just walk over and put them on it? Of course there are things like you can't replace the valve cover or radiator support after you've put the new fender on.... Just wondering what works best for you.

Seeing how that plastic just turns to dust. There has to be some place to complain about the built in obsolescence.

One thing about the whole car being less than the parts you need. That's a major issue up here in Canuckistan. There's a big parts recycler not far from me, they literally want like 20% less for used parts than you can buy new. I was looking for parts for my Ford 5.4L (shut up stop laughing!! STOP LAUGHING!!) and i was shocked......a rebuilt head was $900 and they wanted $700 for a pull with 250,000 kms on it. They wanted $500 for a steering rack and a rebuilt one was $600. When they emailed me the prices I wrote back: that S you see on my forehead stands for sexy NOT stupid....lol.....
