The last repair made this rebuild worse than the accident. Fixing a hacked up Buick Regal

This 2011 Buick Regal T-type was hit down the side. The owner purchased it from the auction and replaced the left doors, fender and left front suspension. When he could not get his parts to fit properly he took it to some shops for them to straighten it out. Nobody wanted any part of it until he found a guy that was willing to do it cheap. Well, sometimes you get what you paid for. Now I have taken on fixing the accident damage as well as the damage from the "repair." This car came to me from Houston TX. Not sure why, he literally passed hundreds of shops on the way to me. Well it is my problem now so let's straighten it out.

@@gerrywatson261 Ya Plonker.!! If it were an Audi it would have been worth repairing. I had 2 of those, both less than 3 years old and serviced by main stealer. They both went into limp mode in the outside lane of the M25 due to a software fault thinking the pre-cat sensor was faulty.. I had to keep an OBD reader plugged in so I could reset it after crossing 4 lanes of motorway in the aforementioned limp mode. How bloody dangerous is that then.?. They should all be recalled and scrapped, be they Spewick, Pauxhall or sodding Opels. Awful GM worldwide motor cars. The new model isn't much better either.. Rant over. Phew.!

I scrapped out a 2007 Impala with less (but similar) A pillar damage than that. The driver's door wouldn't close correctly and the gaps were shit. I would have never put that kind of shit work back on the road. One of these days I'm gonna get the guts to cut one apart like that and fix it. I'll need a good learning project to practice on that won't cost a bunch in case I "f" it up. Thanks for recording this and putting it out. Let me know I made the right decision on that Impala.

@vehcor 3 года назад

One of my bodywork gnomes did a few 00-05 implalas to learn on with the same expectations. Toss them out if you mess up. He learned a lot and the cars came out fine so he made some money as well.

The Dr is in! Wow that went from the pile to totally resuscitated. You have honed your craft to an absolute art. I imagine the owner will drop off a copy of this repair to his lawyer. I don’t know if there is a known category for the destruction done to that car. You hit the nail on the head, the repair was worse than what it came in for. Stellar work as per usual!

It’s a Vauxhall insignia here in the Uk Opel insignia in Europe, they come with a selection of engines a 2.0 diesel that blows up a gutless 1.8 that over heats and another gutless 1.6 diesel eco, only one they made that was pretty fun to drive is the 2.0 vxr but still only a slightly better shade of shit 😂😂

@vehcor 3 года назад

We have all those junk engines here as well. 😂 The diesels come in our Cruze though.

Class work here, I think you're being your usual laconic self calling these videos boring as they are actually very instructional and way cooler than watching some idiot ramble on about throwing a lambo back together...You're a real mechanic and your ethic of doing quality work is admirable and sadly disappearing...Well done on a top job done right...
