This Acura is a good place to start if you want to get into rebuilding cars. All the damage is bolt-on parts, the vehicle cost is low and these are good sellers. I am going to let the gnome have a chance at rebuilding. Let's see how it goes..

I did a very similar rebuild in May this year. Simple front end damage on a 2013 Jetta from a salvage auction. I rebuilt it in my driveway, it's now my daily. Your channel was a big part in motivating me to do it! Thank you for that, was totally worth it.

same here. last year bought a 2017 Crew Cab Silverado 1500 work truck 4x4 with 94k miles for 15g at auction from a rental company so it just needed a wash. then this year got a "wrecked" 2015 ford explorer with 95k miles for 7g, just needed a new front end. Replaced the bumper reinforcement, radiator support, front upper and lower bumpers, and gave it a new paint job. A 2015 ford explorer for 10g titled and licensed is not too bad if i say so myself, 60% discount over buying it at a dealership. And the they still have clean titles.

Per aviation standards (no B.S.) your cotter pinnage is actually acceptable if you trim the ends of the cotter pins. You can see the standards in a reference book called the AC 43.13, acceptable techniques, methods and practices. Might be a good weapon to peruse, considering all the expert opinions you must deal with.

Im rebuilding the rear end suspension on a 98 camry and both rear abs wheel speed sonsors were stuck and i needed new knuckles, so i ordered a pair of knuckles off ebay from the south. They arrived with a lot of things attached to them, including part of the speed sensor, so i cut my old driver side one just above the sensor, spliced the wire with the head of the sensor from the new, used, knuckle and saved myself $85.

I have a friend that has a 2001 TL that's been in the family since new and is in good shape inside and out. The catalytic converter was recently stolen off of it while at work, but after some struggle with insurance it was fixed, a $2500 job. Now months later the Transmission died and is being fixed at even at 20 years old at 67k miles. My own car that's 8 years old has twice that mileage.

When the lease was over, though, he leased a crew cab Silverado due to his side pinball game refurbing and repairing business work. Your gnome clearly has the skills for doing vehicle repair and restoration work. With a bit more experience, he'll be putting you out to pasture.

By the way, has anyone ever told you that you look like Jason "White Chocolate" Williams and that the bodyworks gnome is a dead-ringer for Chris Kaman?
