Rebuilding a clear title 2013 Buick Enclave after it was totaled by an insurance company 

It’s really cool to watch someone reverse the impact scenario and see the pressure points relieve themselves. A true sign of a good body man. Spent some years around a heavy collision shop. Waiting for the next installment.

In a world where everyone is building Chargers, vehcor dares to be different, and builds an Enclave. I loved the dual view on the pulls, that was cool!

This is going to be another interesting build. A low mileage vehicle like this will be a great option for someone looking for reliable transportation at an affordable price. You're not only going to keep it out of the scrap pile but also going to help someone get solid transportation.

The dual camera view when doing the pull was cool. Cheers.

Love watching your builds. Great work and detailed descriptions, like the old Wheeler dealers show when Edd was on it. 👍

Always enjoyable to watch you work on a new project. Keep up the good work.

I'm a huge fan of these cars. Every time a customer says "Enclave" I get dollar signs in my eyes like Scrooge McDuck...

The yell when backing the car off the trailer gets me every Time!!!! 🤣🤣🤣

Hi Scott thank you for builds with sarcasm. We have a lot of that here too with corruption (east coast) and rust. Have a good weekend .

Bought a 2013 Enclave loaded, when the second generation first came out late that same year. Sold it 6-months ago to CarMax with 36,000 miles. Best SUV on the market. Comfortable with the smoothest ride. Bought a 2021 Enclave Avenir right after I sold my old one.

That Enclave would have had a Parts Title (Statutory Write-off) here in Australia and gone to the junk yard. So many repairable vehicles are written off over here for even less damage than the Enclave. Good to see this one being repaired. It will be interesting seeing the progress. All the best from Queensland Australia.

Nice job. I enjoyed the voiceover with the technical descriptions of the bits and pieces, for which I had no knowledge

I never being interested in learning this type of work, you are a great Teacher. Thank you for taking the the time to explain, I have learned more , w/o ever doing this

Nice to see the Car o liner being used for what its meant to do. I'm a panel beater here in the UK and my Car o liner is so clean you can see your face in it. Everything with heavy damage is always written off now.... oh the days of putting in chassis legs and boot floors...

Pulling the outside first is always best, it will relieve so much tension from undamaged areas as well as the damaged areas. Easier to pull a strong section back into alignment than loose sheet metal on the inside. I was taught to " reverse the impact".

Do enjoy all the builds, for me something to learn every time Thanks

Cracks me up every time when you back up off the trailer. Gold, love it.

YAY-love that cutter also. Keep warm Scott. Rich

Always a good day when mr boring build friday releases a video! 😉 very educational to see all the special tools used.... klick... 😆

I don't hate the forklift pulling episodes but I really enjoy when you put them on the rack. The split screen is a very nice touch!

Good therapy watching this when you’re bedridden. Hats off to you Sir.

I really like your videos. Kind of makes me feel like I am taking an automotive class!

When you were lowering the rack and I saw the 2X4's holding the wheel at that angle..I thought "That is janky as hell,........ I love it!" The safety experts heads had to be exploding!! LOL..Great start on a new build!

Having lived and worked on vehicles in both Texas and Illinois your sarcasm about the different levels of rust is spot on. Enjoy your dry wit and taunting of us in the comments!

Nice, I'm actually rebuilding a 2018 Enclave for my wife right now, was side swiped down the whole driver's side so I have a similar repair to do on the quarter.

great video Scott. Have a great weekend. Anxious for the next one.

Loved the rebuilds, keep going on this one. Looking forward to the finale on this cute little car.👍👍😐😐

In addition to the excellent work, dry humor, the best part of the video is rolling off the trailer!

Enjoy the videos. Very educational and entertaining. Thanks for sharing.

Great channel and presentation. I always learn something new.

Always digging this channel. Scott does it rite!!

Need more Mr Spotty!!! Thanks for the Friday entertainment!

I know you hate to hear about the old days. I did body work at a less than professional shop. We would have done some pulling. Some hammer and dolly work. And sent it to the body shop. Of course the finest scrap yard replacement parts 🙄. I remember the rule being, bondo couldn't exceed 7/8" in thickness. I'm sure they made a fortune. But I never did. I was young and 5 dollars an hour in 1974 was a lot of gas ⛽ money for cruising. Thanks for sharing the right way to fix cars.

The smirky smile of haters tears when u turned the key while on the trailer, before unloading, PRICELESS!!👍

Nice job with the trailer-scream. Especially excellent pre-trailer tuning session. I still want more drama with it. LOL.

learning a lot about our '14 Acadia. Thanks

23:49 I had an issue removing that bracket from my 2011 Chevrolet Volt. That bracket was riveted in, rather than held by bolts. Probably GM wanted to make sure no one would mistake a Volt with a Bolt. The Volt doesn't have any bolt inside.

Thanks Scott, great video..

This going to be a fun one! You know it’s Friday when you hear the patented V-Scream. Maybe an aerosol Scream can to drown out the haters tear. I enjoyed the rear compartment investigation a precursor to the what’s in my console. It seems so appropriate. Yeah, far from boring. I don’t know anyone who can take a crumpled piece of coal and turn it into a diamond. Super start!

split screen ,like the Woodstock flick, I like!!

Ha! That "aaahhhkkk" coming off the trailer gets me every time!

Nice work...I like the cricket sounds too...I miss summer already...lol.

'Wouldn't you really rather have a Buick?'.... Oh boy... A car from Detroit. Can't wait to see what's in the console! Really enjoy your content Scott!

You always make it look so easy.

Never a dull moment thank you 😊

The brackets surrounding the gas tank are actually the additional pieces that come with the factory tow package. Some sort of additional rigidity

Great job .it will be sweet when your done

Love these rebuilds!

Another solid build Scott!

It's amazing how many parts are in a car

Already hit the like button. Now let’s watch the master at work!

I believe you pulled the outside panel out too pick some of the pressure up the inner panels I've watched enough for your videos to realize what you do there's a method to your madness as people say but great job buddy your videos probably help a lot of people so keep up the good work

I thought you flimmed this video in Summer time until you mentioned Christmas is around the corner Mr. Spotty! What was the weather like in Chicago when you flimmed this video because you're standing outside in T shirt 👕. Love your videos. Very educational and entertaining. From Ontario, Canada 🇨🇦.

In 1966 I was driving my 59 Impala Bubbletop and T-boned a 60 Olds. Both of us were going to fast for the circumstances, but she ran a yield sign. After the accident the front end of my car was turned to the right. I saw another 59 a week or 2 later that had been t-boned. So the front clip and frame were fine (both cars had an X Frame. I bought it and swapped my body to that frame. IN order to take it apart, I had to use the can opener as most of the. bolts were inaccessible. I was 16 then and not wearing a seat belt. I estimate I was doing between 50 and 60 when I hit. Surprisingly I didn't contact the steering wheel. I'm a believer that at times one can have super human strength. I pushed the gearshift all the way to the dash. Interestingly, to this date, I have. no memory of the accident. I can tell you everything up to the point prior to collision and after I regained consciousness. I can even smell the bakery I drove by when I think about it.

Never had good luck with red cars, last one caught on fire gas heater bad. thanks for the video

Glad to see work on a "practical" vehicle that will sell quick.

One of my fav channels along with Mustie1. You need to add a new shirt " Someone has been here before" lol

Lots of fun that brightens my Fridays. We haven't seen the pizza delivery person lately.

Always enjoy your videos. 😊

Wow that’s cool can’t wait to see the next video

There should be a little motor on top of the apparatus to lower the spear tire down, just push a button and the tire would lower down with out having to use a lug wrench, or power driver.

someone's been here before - in the pile Thanks for the vid' 🔥🔥👍👍🔧

Looks like a fun project.

You are amazing! I love all your videos.

Excellent vid. I like how u head off the keyboard warriors just itching to jump in to tell u wat wood b better or how they wood do it so much better. Also how u point out to the bubble wrap safety nazis u a have safety gear on and will try to not damage the car with yr skin. Love it. Good job. Love yr content. Been doing this for 40 and a half years so far. Always learning

You make it look soooooo easy.

I would like to work with you purely to gain knowledge. You are truly a master of your craft sir. I would not hesitate to buy a vehicle rebuilt by you.

I feel my lower lumbar go out every time you lift those seats

There's also a buckle right above your head, on the passanger side.

Salvage in this case just means the insurance company determined it costs too much to repair. Your gain! 2013 to 2017 Enclaves are the coolest. I have five Salvage Title Copart vehicles: 2007 SAAB 9-3 convertible, 2002 Oldsmobile Intrigue GLS, 2003 Oldsmobile Alero GLS coupe ( with only 20,202 miles!), 2003 Oldsmobile Aurora, and a 2003 Pontiac Bonneville SLE. All repaired to perfection.

Since the last few videos have not been in your own shop I guess it is too cold to work there in the winter? Thanks for sharing. Charles

Throat cleaning part was awesome 😂😂 Great job

It’s that time (clears throat). Didn’t work out so well for us. Ripped the bumper off the Acura EL backing it off a u-haul. Guess we don’t have the form perfected just yet. Lol

Another great video keep up the good work

The Sarcasm was extra thick today, much appreciated !!!

Can’t break them off if the they are liquid. Torch is the only way to go. Thanks for the vid.

It would have been interesting to see if the Right quarter panel moved with your pulls on the left, Now you have me hanging on till the next video. I hope you filmed it>

That left rear has some impressive negative camber on it, any chance for mirroring it to right side for better cornering grip?

GOOD WORK SCOTT MERRY CHRISTMAS

Aye these things get a bad rep but we got a 2011 traverse with 180k still on the original timing chains, water pump just now went out lol, if you change the oil or get it changed, use full synthetic and recommend it so hopefully the next owner catches on.

I'm an A&P mechanic which is an airplane mechanic. When I'm taking of an exhaust stack or alternator we use plastic baggies and then note on the baggies the part & location of the hardware. It's required that we do it that way so we know where the fasteners had gone to and its location. Side note....... All the airplanes that I worked on general aviation aircraft like you're Cessna and Mooney, Piper the alternators that go on the aircraft are all AC DELCO but like Aerotech slaps their sticker on the alternator and charge triple the regular cost. It's all got to do with LIABILITY!!!

Love the response on the gloves lol 😂

Thanks for sharing.

Foam? Nice to see that Buick put in sound damening fowm!!

very good work...

Nice job! 👍👍👍

“It’s that time...” cough. [Clears pipes]. Priceless 😆

Your Easter basket magically has an exhaust still attached

Great video buddy!

She gave you such a great gimmick with that little scared scream. LOL Never gets old!!!

Clearing your throat before the trailer unloading was just perfect. Thanks for the entertainment

Another interesting project!

My 2 week old Acura MDX was hit in al most the same manner in January 2020. Wheel was trashed, Taillight survived. New qaurter panel, and rear bumper. Body work and paint were good. I am an ex body man. Detail was not close to acceptable. Title was clean, an carfax read "damaged". It is long gone. Mine was not hit hard enough to damage the inner structure. Estimate was $4500.

I live in Pakistan and stumbled on to your videos.... informative.....but I see them for your speaking style....specially it's that time bit ......thoroughly enjoy your scared muffled scream as you roll down....makes me laugh every time

Hope that tornado missed you there. Massive damage through five states, It was on the news here in Australia.

Great it's Friday ! Another build by the pro (Scott) .

I have told this to people and they don't believe me. I have rebuilt dozens of wrecks and many had clean titles. I still let people know that it was wrecked and repaired.

That a great job…..must really keep you fit

Out here in the west we call the fire wrench a gas axe!
