In a previous video https://youtu.be/gMHYnWLQ5As I started to replace the rotted subframe on a 14 Subaru and received a lot of push back saying I was ripping off the customer because it wasn't rotted. If you feel comfortable saying this subframe is safe and would like to install it on your car I'll happily save it for you 😁
Cheers!

Was it really rotted?! https://youtube.com/shorts/WOf91EL9znE?feature=share

There seems to be some questions of my Integrity folks. A couple of people sent me some nasty emails about the Subaru subframe saying that I was ripping the person off because you can't fail for surface rust in New York state and that is a true statement. However, when the side of the subframe is completely Swiss cheese and you can stick your Hammer through it on both sides, well, that you can fail for, trust me. same thing here.

Completely rotted out. You can see straight through it. so I guess before you judge my character and rectitude, rest assured folks, I don't change those things for the fun of it.

  10. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Robert Johnson says:

    Creepers who question your integrity are not fans and they do not do quality work like you do. I believe every community would be a better place if they had at least one mechanic with your integrity.

    Excellent work man. Keep up the great professionalism. A master at what you do.

  14. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Tech Nine says:

    No a sub frame like that you could be sued for if you passed. Lol not sure if that's true but if somebody really wanted to push it they could get your license to do inspections revoked.

  15. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Jeff Cuevas says:

    why even bother with trolls…screw them

  16. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Shane Darden says:

    I knew there was a reason, it had to be something like this. Often a video doesn't tell the whole story. The most irritating thing about rust is how even with good maintenance, you're racing the clock.

  18. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Zero Izanagi says:

    Just use duct tape.

  19. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Brendan Conley says:

    here is the fun thing with inspections you can fail a car if you deam it unsafe and that is unsafe. Just because it will pass by the letter of the law dosen't mean you are doing the person any favors by passing an unsafe car, if they don't like it take it to someone else.

    Not even scrap metal

  23. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Buster Hernández says:

    Let's stop and rethink that folks only can have an opinion based on they own knowledge, and sometimes that isn't enough or even can't compared to your mechanic skills or experience señor , so let them be happy 😁 and we all can be happy watching your videos like we have been doing it especially when Hanna jumps as a helper lol it sounds like me and my daughter working together lol

    Opinions are like assholes everyone has one unless they've ever done work like that they need to shut up.

    Everyone’s a expert on those Interwebs . I know I don’t want it work that damn hard for nothing either

    You’ve shared enough gold to the effect, if Eric O told me the sky was falling… I’d keep my behind inside. Don’t argue with trolls. They’re living in your head rent free. Dont give ‘em the satisfaction

  32. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Nick Dolphin says:

    Damn Eric, anyone questioning your integrity should get off the computer….Tires Plus (or "minus" My sister in law learned when her LR wheel spontaneously detached from her car less than a week after having all 4 replaced) probably doesn't like their "Junior Assistant Parts Installer" using their computer for YouTube.

    I can't tell you how much help you've been to me, recently especially so as I have just started wrapping up the 08 Dodge Grand Nemesis SxxT. Your engine swap saved me more time than I can even begin to tabulate.

    Compared to my 67 D200 Sweptline Camper Special, this van is comedically engineered. MOPAR has become SUBPAR

  33. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Tiffany Kooper says:

    easilly plated and repaired without removal so yeah you ripped them off.

  34. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Martin Todd says:
