This is why rebuilt vehicles get a bad name and it keeps getting worse 

"Somebody's been here before". Four words that, when Scott says them, strike fear into my heart.

I don't see how someone could live with themselves knowing they can potentially get someone killed with bad repair jobs like that. Makes me sick. I wish we could get the police involved in cases like this.

I need a "SOMEBODY'S BEEN HERE BEFORE" t-shirt for my ex-wife. Love these videos!

'This one comes from Mississippi,the state not the river"priceless.

I LOLed at "Scott's Terrain Emporium, located right next to Scott's Grand Am Emporium"

That fix will never be right without Mr. Spotty overseeing the work. You better settle the dispute quickly.

Scott's number one rule with someone else's attempt at a shoddy repair: "Pile!"

that 30 seconds of him putting straps away nicely after use mad my day.

These videos are so calming and relaxing, somehow. Love your work mister! :) One of the only guys on RU-vid that does this work whose cars I'd actually trust!

Since I haven’t seen it mentioned yet... “Mustang” You’re welcome.

I was secretly hoping when you took off the last seat belt you'd say, "In the mail" lol.

Use reverse to stop because it has no brakes. So basically it's like every forklift I've ever driven!

I just love watching you work scott. I learn a lot from you. I lov the words someone been here. You are the man. Can"t wait to see what next. Take care.

The way you got that 3-wheeler on the Lift is an adventure to itself... Jesus i do not want to know what other "improvisations" are done all around the world... But hey. You guys do what you gotta do! Seeing your daily struggles make me appreciate you more. Keep at it!

There is: "somebody's been here before!" and "somebody's REALLY been here before!" This vehicle would be the later...

Thats the ultimate someone has been here before...what a death trap. Glad you're fixing it right!

Just when you think "someone's been here before" couldn't get any worse😬

“Somebody’s been here before” seems to be a gross understatement.

What happened to Mr. Spotty? Love the way you work! Can t wait for next friday! Greets from also salty streets and rusting cars from Germany

It looks like that "repair" was done in the backyard of someone who thinks that if he has the tools, he must be a mechanic.

Thanks for sharing and taking the time Scott. Stay safe and be well. No need to thank us for watching.

Kids, *this* is how you become a competent adult. Holy shite just the breakdown of rolling it off the trailer and flat bed. Awesome.

I live in Tucson Arizona- it sure is nice not having to work on rusted junk.

Man you find some horror shows its scary whats out there. Good thing there are people like you that do great work!!!.

Wow that was bad, didn't realise Scotty Kilmer was doing accident "repair" these days.

That rebuild abuse at it’s worst. So glad you are there to rehabilitate it. Too bad they can’t go back and try and figure out who did that previous work.

Interesting that the state inspections only want to verify there are no stolen parts (which is a good thing) but they don’t seem to be concerned if it was fixed correctly

I just LOVE the analysis of what's wrong. I see real crimes in some of those "others" work. Thanks for sharing that info Scott! Cheers, Rich

That suspension bracket looks like the last guy welded it with his eyes closed. Yikes.

Scot we have a Guy here locally called Russian Bob who aligns trunk lids & quarter panels with bondo! His work is very similar to the repair on this Terrain! Great job on the teardown and finding it's problems!

Holy crap! That thing was a rolling death trap. Hard to believe someone could do work that shoddy and let it leave their shop. Must’ve been done by the previous owners cousin who is a TV repairman and has an awesome set of tools!

“But wait...there’s more!” I’m almost afraid to see what next week’s video will show 😱😱😱

I life The videos where you get cars that have had poor repairs done before you really helps with buying a car knowing what to look for. Thank you for going into detail like you do. You also do absolutely amazing work!

I enjoy your videos so much and see what to look for damage. I wish more body shops here in Georgia had your work ethic and attention to detail. Some body shops, that did good work, they got tired of dealing with insurance companies that nickel and dimed repair jobs, so they closed up. No you have body shops that are the "preferred" repair center. I have seen first hand how they do work. I could see sanding marks through the paint, runs, cloudy look to paint and after a few years the clear coat pealing from the window seal. They have a "lifetime warranty" on their repairs, so wondering how that will work. The insurance companies want repairs cheap so seems to be aftermarket parts find their way in the mix. I would rather have used OEM parts, properly repaired and painted like you use than some of aftermarket ones.

as a tow truck driver myself i say you did an excellent job with the wrecker!

This episode reminds me of the old cliff-hanger western serials, horseless stagecoach launches off the cliff.....stay tuned next week! I am tuned, got my cowboy hat and cap gun, I'm ready.....!

Missed your Videos Scott. keep them coming :)

I was wondering if you kept rebuilding common vehicles to get the best economy from the parts cars. Glad you missed the snow, the roads are still almost impassable here in east Texas.

"This is not a sponsored video... yet... your move, MyAirBags." - LOL! :)

Love your comments on rust. I'm from Ohio and now live in N.C. The vehicles in junk yards amaze me how rust free they are. It pains me to see these vehicles going to the scrapper!

I like watching your channel because you always make every effort to fix everything right the first time. Collision repair can be some difficult, tedious work, and some people pay the consequences of bad repair work when their car gets hit in the same spot, but the way you do your work keeps faith in the industry, you're awesome!

That poor car! Sooo much damage, most people wouldn't even attempt it. I'm glad its in the right hands to get put back on the road.

12:54 "Sorry about the reflection." I didn't even notice the window was up until you mentioned it (Sorry, bald joke)

After showing us a litany of poor workmanship, you end the video with “OH NO”!!! Always interesting. Thank you for sharing.

Wow! Excellent video. Amazing how someone did a shoddy job on past repairs. Like your attention to detail and safety. You do great repair work. It's important to do the job right. Can't wait to see the next video on this project.

There should have been a scream a couple of times moving that thing.

I love the commentary especially when you said you tried the spot weld drill and didn't like it lol. Keep up the good work man.

Its shocking how badly others hack things together. You do damn good work, the right way.

You sir, set the standard on how to correctly repair a vehicle after an accident. Also, you ended this one on a good cliffhanger. Can't wait to see what you found, or did not find above that headliner.

well done sir, you are by far my favorite channel to watch. being a technician myself I see my fair share of ill repairs and improper work. It feels good to see repairs being done right. Especially on this one fixing somebody else's bad fixes. the quirky sense of humor is also great. keep up the good work :)

No Gnomes were injured in the production of this video!! Keep up the great work.

Makes me wonder how some “rebuilders” sleep at night knowing someone’s family is driving around in their handiwork.

vehcor ;Immediately, I watched all of your videos, I was amazed by your workmanship and hand skills, you are a very good mechanic, I congratulate and appreciate you. If I live in America, I would have all my car works done to you.

Forking cliffhanger! "Hey, waddaya know" is a new catchphrase for you! Missed opportunity, could have had afternoon crew drive that thing around the shop. I am sure RU-vid revenue would pay for half of what they smashed into.

Very dodgy repairs from the previous shop. We call them "Butchers" here in Australia. Love your work, great to see someone who does the job properly!

The surprises you get with "somebody has been here before." I'm interested in seeing what else they covered up. Good job. 👍👍👍

You need to fire that current camera person! At least Mr Spotty knew how to setup the scene! 😉

"Someone's been meddlin in stuff they ought not be meddlin in!" Eric O.

All that hard work just to change the shocks. Cheers from Jacksonville Florida

I wasn’t ready for the video to end lol.

Simply the best rebuild guy I've seen on RU-vid, if it's worth doing, he does it right first time.

Amazingly the 'weld' the previous people did stood up to the accident. It just ripped the whole thing off

In an alternate reality.. Vehcor the gynecologist: "Somebody has been here before"

That sudden wrench sliding in after you couldn't don't the correct socket was interesting lol

Somebody's been here before Friday... My favorite

Oh wait.... It gets worse... Body filler Hell... And booger welds? OMG. Even the blokes at Hack Fabrication wouldn't do this! Where the heck is Mr. Spotty... ? Scott, you are an incredible perfectionist! And this is one of your best videos!

Ain’t no subframe rips that can’t be fixed by a 12 pack of Coors and an arc welder

Thanks for taking the time to make these videos. Always fun to watch!

Scott always like a challenge! Especially if someone has been there before and flubbed up. That minor collision just saved someone's life due to Scott's expertise.

I’d still buy this when you’re done with it.

WOW!!! What a disaster...I do hope the shop that fixed/effed it up worse gets shut down. I am assuming that you guys have car inspections every year or so..if so..I would suggest to them that tapping into the cars computer become part of it..with all the airbags gone etc. As for that hideous weld...or so called weld...I think my 8 yr old nephew could do better. It is VERY VERY reassuring to see that there are indeed people who repair things properly. You are a MAJOR asset in the car rebuilding world. Keep up the great work Scott!

This rebuild induces truly epic levels of torpor. I couldn't even bring myself to fast forward to get to the end. No, I had to watch each miserable bolt and sorry connector come off one at a time. Scuttling gnomes dart in and out of the frame, narrowly avoiding being struck by random pieces Scott launches toward the piles. And even Mr. Spotty was too bored to show up for this job. Exquisite.

Great to see the scraped knuckles in the beginning, good to see you are at least human not just a machine. I get a knuckle buster at least once a week, still don't know how you do it but great work.

Once again - great job!! It is always fun when you do an archaeological dig

You restore my faith in craftsmen. First, and I hope not last, time I've seen you work. Meantime, good health and long life to you.

This rebuild series is gonna give me "piles"... Keep up the great work, Scott. Mr. Spotty, the Afternoon Crew and all the Gnomes depend on it!

Thanks for showing what things to look for and how to properly fix cars. Although I am not a body man, I greatly appreciate you sharing your knowledge and experience with us. As always, I will be looking out for the next video.

Great to see you with another Terrain build.

You a true man you go above and beyond to make sure people are safe like your work ethic

Missed these Friday videos. Thank you for bringing them back. Looking forward to next week. And please get Mr Spotty back on the payroll.

So much contrast to repairs here in Australia. In my state, I had to take photos of every step of the repairs, provide a manufacturer repair instructions and VIN's of the parts cars I used, then the repairs physically checked by someone. That was to sign off before I had to get a roadworthy inspection.

Greeting from warm dry sunny Arizona, this build gives me nightmares.... when your parts car starts looking good compared to what your rebuilding

You guys have got all the toys forklift, rollback tow truck, snap on boxes kool shop mr vehcor!!!

I love how organized he is

Some people have no business working on a vehicle. What would have happened if this vehicle rolled? I am pretty sure it would have ended in fatalities. Scott you should have brought someone in to look at this mess. This clown needs to be held responsible.

The lack of thought for the driver, passengers and other road users is unbelievably when bodgeing a vehicle to such an incredibly low standard, these morons should be hunted down and put in jail. Thank goodness you are here to point out the death traps that are being used to transport families daily 👍🏻

Mate, was surprised to see the new melting chalk dust on the cart... seams the afternoon crew has sprinkled this new dust all over the roadside as well... :) lol

Thanks, I enjoy your Friday builds!

Scott. And what you see and what you explain is what makes it so important. Most people are not honest, where as you are. You explain what you see, why it's bad, and why it's important to fix it in the specific order in this specific way. That is the number one reason why I enjoy your Channel.

Don't forget to clean out the pcv port in the intake so it don't come back with a blown rear main

8.5 Years towing in the Rocky Mountains, it is very unusual for me to see a GMC Terrain missing the left rear tire like that. I towed at least 3, possibly more that were all missing the front left tire assembly. All from pulling out into traffic without looking after stopping to look at wildlife in the ditch. All were rentals and all were less than 6 months old, all 3 totaled. I hope they all opted for the rental insurance, lol.

Can't wait for the next video,this is car is lucky to end up in your shop after this damage,I'm sure it will be 100% after you repair it.

Superb cuts and camera work, especially on those tie downs.

Man ! What a shop !! 'Their work improved the accident'..

That previously welded sub frame carnage may be one of the craziest things I’ve seen yet. Smh

As ugly as those welds in the rear suspension mounts were, they held. It was stuff around them that broke. What was criminal was the missing airbags.

A video of the storage yard and walk through of what cars you used on what projects and plans with them would make a cool video id watch. Been watching you for a long time now. Be cool to see whats in the yard!

I think this is the first video of yours that I've watched. I was thinking the car should be totaled, it couldn't be worth fixing like an insurance job, the repair cost would exceed the vehicle value. As I watched, I realized you get needed parts from your stash, or buy similar complete wrecked vehicles for parts source. Pretty clever and interesting how you work.

Great video. Love to see the work that goes into fixing a wrecked vehicle. Keep up the great work. Seems if you want to get into a project will need all the proper tools. 😉

I'm curious if the owner or insurance company paid for those missing(?) air bags (curtain)?
