    Pretty purple bolts.

  2. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars David Millhollon says:

    Love your videos Ray you have peasants of Joeb .

  3. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Michael Lawrence says:

    Ever wonder why Ray refuses to chat with us Canadians?

  4. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Michael Lawrence says:

    Those bolts are purple because they have been installed by a Prince wannabe.

  5. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Daniel Clark says:

    That car took a real beating, lot's of parts to replace and a few to mend. Insurance adjuster would total that car if they saw all that damage.

  6. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Galen Vetterick says:

    Interesting that a body shop farms out part of their work. Must not be a very complete body shop that I would not use.

  7. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Reaper says:

    How's that not totaled?

  8. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Hola! mark friedem says:

    I've never encountered disc and drum on the same wheel

  9. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Robin Sattahip says:

    Soon on a used car lot.

  10. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Kevin Ray says:

    My dad was big on using locking pliers to remove and install the springs on brakes

  11. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Shaun Oneill says:

    Your not very good with inboard brake shoes are you??

  12. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Justin Ferguson says:

    What is the insurance policy to total that car? My state says $5000 once the combination of parts and labor exceeds $5000 the insurance company totals the vehicle

  13. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Paul Josephssen says:

    'i wonder why these bolts are purple' ASKING THE REAL QUESTIONS!

  14. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Michael Taylor says:

    The purple color is a phosphate plating added for corrosion resistance.

  15. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Michael Tutty says:

    Another great video, Ray. This should be a fun project

  16. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Charles Lease says:

    They got was called a brass hammer

  17. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Greg Dunning says:

    This is 100% a total loss just by looking at the quarter damage. Body shop is wasting insurance money sending that to the service department without putting it on a lift themselves to see the damage. The inner quarter is definitely buckled. Some de-trim on the trunk interior would show that immediately. That right there starts you on the path of where those weld points are, and the trunk and aperture are probably sacrificed. Possibly even the roof. Rear of the aperture looks bad as well. Probably needs replacement just for the inner rocker damage.

  18. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars John says:

    I wonder if you can get the stains off your hands?

  19. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars blauskie says:

    Confidence is knowing that if anyone messes with you, you can completely disassemble their car. Nothing says "you lose" like going out to your driveway to find a pile of parts where your ride used to be.

  20. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars David Skeen SR says:

    The insurance company should have totaled this car. Body damage us this cars name!!

  21. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Johnny O says:

    I'm beside myself
    I've done panel beating or body shop work in the past and we had to do all that work our selfs
    Like doing air con units
    Engine and electrical work
    We never sent a car from one place to another
    BUT if it was a complicated job then we would send it to who ever to get something fixed up
    But most was done in our shop

  22. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Jeffrey Calabro says:

    What's up with the colored fasteners is it the insurance company

  23. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Chevy Bull says:

    Wouldn't have thought that so many other parts were deformed under the "body damage".

  24. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Robert Blando says:

    Click!

  25. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Shane Davis says:

    So is the pouple bolts for you yanks to keep you calm from getting pissed off haha

  26. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Richard Theisen says:

    I think the purple is a low grade thread lock. Probably easier to dunk the whole bolts at the factory

  27. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Ryan Engle says:

    Not Sure if this has been answered. But those Purple bolts have a tamper proof (purple) coating. If that's broken your warranty is gone.

  28. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Joe Rossiter says:

    That reminds me of the other one that you did where you just pulled the arm off the nut broke off up in the frame and you had to re weld it

  29. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars plexnoid pachinko says:

    Drum brakes… eeeuughhh….

  30. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Richard Hall says:

    I would have thought that car would be a right off parts and labour must cost more than that car is worth

  31. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Steven Nihipali says:

    I wanna say, your videos are why to companies have come up with the ratcheting wrenches, lol

  32. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Steven Nihipali says:

    As a milwaukee tool fan, you're using the rigid impact like a boss! love watching these vids

  33. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Luci Feric says:

    Listen, just throw a good alignment and wheel balance on it. Dont try to sell me a bunch of parts.

  34. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Orest Kendzora says:

    If that car had a locking glove compartment with a special socket for the lugs, you would have been screwed

  35. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Steve Caruso says:

    Why would anyone want to fix this car with all this heavy damage?

  36. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars James Ziegler says:

    Thank you Ray

  37. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Just A Man says:

    The bolts got bruised in the collision.

  38. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Just A Man says:

    Worked at body shop for a short time in my youth we used to say, "I could wheel that off, I'm that good."

  39. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars p z says:

    rust free from ny and amazed spinning nuts off by hand

  40. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Phantom Hemi says:

    Some cars just should not be fixed.

  41. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Steve Jones says:

    When did the quintessentially British "buggered up" enter the American lexicon?

  42. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars The Mad Machinist says:

    those spindle bolts are splined. You're not supposed to rotate them inside the control arm. see all the metal flying when you hit them with the impact? you're supposed to zip the nut off and drive them out with a punch.

  43. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars steve says:

    is part two about, as i cant find it

  44. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Charles Murphy says:

    This car is totalled?

  45. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars William Ambrogio says:

    When you start putting it back together and the new parts won't fit, do to bent and misaligned holes, do you straighten it yourself or send it to the bodyshop ?
    Great Video THANKS

  46. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Pumpup Jam says:

    Fixing a "Rent a Wreck".

  47. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars A bit of every thing with finpainter1 says:

    Nice part about suspension parts they don't need painting and color match. Air bag damage would have totaled that car i bet.

  48. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars tonnymiller123 says:

    I like how car bolts are slightly tapered so they are easier to get on the nut/mount

  49. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars lorenzo52877 says:

    I think alot of us like the longer videos
