I've found this 2011 Cadillac Escalade ESV that needs saving and drug it back to my house. It was abandoned at a local shop after they told the owner it needed everything replaced. They might actually be right, basically everything on this truck has been beat into the ground. A quick search on Marketplace turned up an entire interior that was the right color and in great shape for just $400. Today we're going to get it all installed and then sell the old interior to recoup some of my money. The cheapest Escalade truly is the most expensive Escalade you can buy.

All I hope is that you at least take it back to the old shop and let the detail dudes go HAM on interior and exterior once you get the new engine in. Can't complain about the current state of the vehicle when you cant do much more to it.

Donate the old seats to a car shop that does interiors. I was watching a car show on TV, by the Martin Bros. Customs. The Interior Guy took some saved seats in storage, and worked his 'magic' (added more foam & leather) on them!

i have a general question i have a smart car like the one you had but it’s a 2015 and the water pump went bad and my fixd scan tool said it overheated to around 257 degrees, but I was idling through a parking lot and shut it off immediately. the shop that replaced the pump said they did not detect exhaust gas in the coolant, do you think it could’ve done significant damage?

@WatchJRGo 2 года назад

@brian5o 2 года назад

What an improvement on the interior. I'm kind-of surprised that you didn't steam clean or use some Tuff Stuff on the carpet under the front seats before installing the new ones though, it sure looked nasty under there. The vacuuming did help a lot though. Good luck on this one, I can't wait to see the next video on it.

@g_unit6773 2 года назад

Agreed. Installing new seats over that disgusting carpet that evidently smells seems to be a major corner cut

@paulwisdom5383 2 года назад

Yeah it did bother me too but tbh with these older vehicles as a one man band time really is of the essence. It takes so long to wet vac an interior that size and often smells get worse if you don't get 100% of it all out. It's a tough call. It might be a caddy but it's still a whupped high mileage one at that!

Detailers take the seats out to clean the carpet. JR takes the seat out, says "ew, the carpet is gross" and puts another seat over the top of it so you don't see it. :)

@DarinNederhoff Год назад

I'm kinda surprised he didn't just set fire to it. I know that would have been my first move. ;-)

@zaphodbeeblebrox6627 2 года назад

Before you start stripping the seat frame down to get it off the base, I’d investigate if it’s easier to swap the seat covers over, they’re usually just clipped on all around the base and the back rest might come apart once you take the hinge bolts out. Try taking one of the old seats apart first.

@jreyman 2 года назад
