What's up LNC fam, welcome back to another video.
I'm on my way actually to go look at one of the cars that I really like.
It's a 2013 Porsche Carrera S with a minor rear end damage to the bumper.
They took the whole car apart so I'm going to go to the auction, it's local in Anaheim
and check it out and I'll take you guys with me.
I'm going to record everything as much as I can, so let's go look at the car before
we bid on it so we know exactly what we're bidding on.
So enjoy this video and I'll see you guys at the auction.
And we have arrived, good old IE auction.
This is my favorite location by the way, so let's go inside and I'll show you guys the
car.
Alright, we're here, we're going to go find the car, I believe the number is 62, so let's
go find it.
This is the car, so this is the side, so yeah it has ceramic brakes, it's the airbox, that's
the reinforcement, this thing is clean.
Brand new Michelin tires, this is cracked, and everything else looks pretty good.
Yeah, really clean car inside out.
So it has all the options, exhaust, sport plus, sport, nice steering wheel, wow, suede
roof, yellow seatbelts, this thing is so clean.
So yeah, really like this car, really clean, so we're going to bid on it and hopefully
we'll win it.
So stay tuned for the auction.
Oh look, they also got a Ferrari, Platinum Motorsport, the Ben Baller, it looks like
BB Ben Baller.
Alright guys, yeah, I really like the car, so I'm not going to stay here for the auction,
I'm going to go back to the shop because it's going to be playing around 11.30, so I'll
play online, but for now I'll go back to the shop.
Alright so we just got back to the shop, the game should start any minute now, so let's
take a closer look once again at the car.
So here's the Porsche, bam bam, cutie, very cute, so we'll start bidding right now, let's
do this.
Give it to me, give me the car, you ask for it, give me the car, come on, give me, sell
it, sell it, yes, yes, woohoo, yeah, we got it.
Once again, feels good to win.
So we're going to grab the truck and go pick up the car right now.
Best feeling ever when you win a car, it's like your heart races in the beginning but
then you get this joy, 47.28, so we're going to go make a cashier's check real quick and
head to the auction.
Alright guys, I'm on my way to pick up the new project, 2013 Porsche Carrera S, so I
should be arriving at the auction in 25 miles, so that's 30 minutes, and here's how much
I paid for the car, not the best deal, but since I have all the parts and I don't need
to buy anything, it should be a quick fix and turnaround, and it's really clean and
it comes with a lot of options, ceramic brakes, sport, sport plus, exhaust button, so a lot
of cool stuff on the car, it's fully loaded with every single option possible, so yeah,
should be a fun rebuild, so stay tuned guys, we should be arriving at the auction very
shortly.
Alright, just pulled up to IA and Anaheim, Mercury Insurance, and this location is the
best cause it's only insurance cars and it's only Mercury, so you're always going to get
a good car, so we're going to go inside real quick, pay for the car, alright, we paid for
the car, here's our title, salvage certificate, we're good to go, so we'll go around the back
and pick up the car, and then also a major key, I usually tip my guy, the forklift driver,
I give him 10 bucks and they usually respect your car and they'll pull it out very careful
without damaging anything, cause some of them though, they don't care about it, they just
pick it up and drag it or whatever, you know, so that's a good old tip for you guys, always
tip your forklift guy, just pulled up, we're going to load the car and we should be good
to go, alright, so we're in the back, waiting for them to bring the Porsche out, they're
right there, keep coming, the other side is good, that's good, here's this, there's supposed
to be more parts, ok cool, alright, so this is the new project, 2013 Porsche Carrera S,
nice and clean, barely any damage, they just took everything apart, that's the bumper,
so that was the damage to the bumper, so barely anything, I have the new bumper ready at the
shop and all the parts, so we'll secure the car and head out, alright, the car is secured,
time to head back to the shop and unload this bad boy and start working on it,
should be very very shortly, like I said, we already have all the parts for this and then
most of the parts are inside of the car, the only thing it's missing is the taillights,
exhaust and then I got the bumper, I got a new bumper at the shop, yep, let's start driving
back to the shop, alright, let's take a closer look at the Porsche, so this is all the stuff
that I got with the car and they stole the rest of the parts, which I knew because I went and
looked at it and here's why they totaled the car, there's a little bend here and then there's like
a minor little scratch here, can't even see a little scratch here, same on this side and then
a couple of scratches here, little like, not even a scratch, I don't know what would you call them,
but they marked it, they marked this, there's like a tiny scratch and a little tiny scratch
right here and then on the pulley right here, minor little scratch, so somehow that's why they
totaled this car, but I had all the parts sitting around the shop for probably like a solid year
already from the 911 R conversion that we did, so I had the whole back end together laying around,
the exhaust, the side mufflers, the air intake and also I have a bumper, so here's the bumper
for the Porsche I had laying around, so finally came in handy, so we're gonna spray it real quick
and we could start installing it, we'll start putting the car together and start hitting the
streets very shortly, should be a quick turnaround, right so all the marks are gone, everything looks
nice and clean like nothing ever happened, same over here, I'm just straightening this out a little
bit, so now I'll start installing the air box, that's the new air box and then we'll start with
the exhaust, air intake box is installed, same with the center muffler, so now I gotta do is
install the side cans on both sides and then reinforcement, heat shield and two side covers,
so that's up next, all right so the muffler is completely installed, so now we got left is the
side brackets, one right there, one over there, the reinforcement and the heat shield and we're
done with the back end, we could start installing the rear bumper and then same over here, I don't
know what they marked, they put damages, unless they put those little scratches that you can't
even see them, but yeah, they put replace this because there's scratches, all right I put the
Porsche all together, the old bumper and this is why it's salvage title, it's a joke and they
totaled the car because of this damage and here's the air box that got damaged, one right there
little mark and the crack right there, that's pretty much it, so here's the new bumper, I'm
installing it now and the car is ready to go, all right so I just removed the old bumper, so as you
guys could see, everything is perfect, no damages to the rear body or anything like that, just the
air box and this support pretty much saved it and there's nothing on the support, just a little
scratch right here, but that's about it and little scratch right here, but other than that, this
thing saved it, so we're gonna install the new bumper right now real quick and we're ready to
roll, all right so I'm finished with the back end, everything came out nice and clean, so right now
I'm gonna put the emblems and I'm gonna put a black emblem instead of the chrome, all right so
I made my template, so now I'm gonna put the emblem, black emblem, so this way it's nice and
straight and I made the template out of this one, so that's how you put an emblem on.
All right the back end is finished, emblems are installed, ready to go, the only thing I got left is
this underneath shield, I gotta install it real quick and we're officially finished with the
car, somebody stole the old body shop, didn't put it in the car, so yeah we'll put the car
on the lift right now real quick, install it and we'll take a closer look what's going on
underneath as well, this is the only shield that was missing like I said, so let's take a closer
look underneath, everything is super clean, everything is dry and clean, wow like a brand
new car, yeah everything looks clean and good, up front as well, couple scratches on the bumper
but that's nothing, suspension is good, same on this side, let's check the back, wow this thing
is spotless, like a brand new car, only has 24,000 miles, so yeah everything looks good, so let's
install this shield and we're ready to go, all right everything's installed, all the shields are
good, that's it, this thing is finished and also I'm gonna change this lip, it looks a little rough,
so I ordered a new one, so I'll change this real quick right now and that's it, and here's the new
lip, brand spanking new, so we'll install this right now real quick, all right the front lip
is installed, nice and clean, and this is a aero kit one, so it looks nice and aggressive, this Porsche
drives so nice, really stiff and smooth, drives amazing, yeah so low miles 24,329, so 24,329, so it comes
with fully loaded, you have the sport plus, the suspension, the exhaust with heated and AC seats,
navigation, one right here, one over here, so you've got a navigation on the screen,
really fast, we're gonna be jumping on the freeway in a second, and we could do a 0 to 80 real quick,
really clean, has suede roof, what else has the chrono package, has a Bluetooth
phone and music, you could stream music from it, so yeah, beautiful, so the only thing I got to do,
change the windshield and windshield is coming at the end of the week, they'll replace that real
quick, but other than that the car is ready, so we're gonna jump on the freeway right now, we'll
put her in the second gear, or maybe in the first, and we'll do a full send,
so yeah, really fast and really stable, it just goes and goes, I probably got to like 80,
maybe a little, yeah, so like 0 to 80 real quick, so yeah, perfect car, all right guys, we're
officially finished with this 2013 Porsche Carrera S, car came out fantastic, this vehicle is for
