Flipping CHEAP Wrecked Cars on Facebook Marketplace - How Easy is It?

Be sure to check out my latest video on this. See how much I have into this rebuild and how much I sold it for.

I was in the automotive industry for 45 years. You say it’s easy but you are modestly underestimating your extreme talents. Love the way you go after your projects with such confidence and no fear. God bless. Keep up the awesome videos.

Step 1: Become a body shop

You Rock. You make it look so easy but 99 out of 100 of us would be crying trying to do that. Well done, makes for compulsive viewing. 👌🏼👍🏼

Zach, when you weld a long thin seam, weld 2 inches, use a wet rag and cool it down, space 5 inches then weld 2 inches, cool with rag then go back, weld the middle between the welds, cool with a rag and keep going, takes longer but less warping. On a long thicker quarter panel weld 6 inches, space 6 cool with wet rag and weld 6, space and repeat.

If you heat up the tip on the seam sealer applicator and flatten it out you can mimic the factory job pretty close. Good work man! Definitely a good skill to know.

Should be a warning to those of you who've purchased a car with a "clean" title and sometimes a "clean" car fax. To be honest the easiest way to see if any major repairs have been done is to take a car to CarMax - they usually can find just about every repair/repaint on a car... I know Zach would disclose but in some places they may only say that this had "minor damage"....

I’m really impressed with what that Frame pulling setup can do!!

This is great until someone is injured during another collision in that car, and you are sued for everything you have and ever will have because you did an unsafe repair. Toyota has some of the strictest guidelines for collision repair out there.

Few things to note 1. Should have removed the 12v battery and the hybrid battery before welding 2. per toyota (and every manufacturer) you cant reuse a folded seam panel which that quarter is (wheel arch is crimped over the inner structure) 3. You arent allowed to splice or reuse the HSS inner structure 4. He cut the stucture of the inner rocker, this is also HSS, and needed to be replaced If anyone is doing this to your car (looking at you geico, progressive, and farmers) dont let them touch your car, it is unsafe and illegal, car must be returned to pre accident condition which means used weld on panels are not allowed

It's funny, every time I have enquired about a used car with a rebuilt title, the seller had no documentation on the work done, and claimed that it only had 'minor' damage like a broken taillight or needed a new bumper.

That would be a stat write-off in Australia. Illegal to ever see a road ever again!

I’ve been flipping cars full time since I was 17 now 25… Superb skill sir I know first hand how much work it is not easy everyone seems to think it is. Really is art

Great video, as always. I love watching you make things work. Also, as a Youtuber, I love your background music!! Keep making those videos and we'll keep watching!!

Just fyi any hybrid’s value is based on battery age. Unless the buyer is an idiot. I flipped an undamaged Prius after rebuilding the hybrid battery. Still only sold it for $5500 in Central Florida. Best of luck to you though. Your $11000 is an estimate without a damaged/totaled/salvage vehicle. Again you may get lucky with an idiot buyer, but most wouldn’t pay more than 50% KBB if the car has frame damage or salvage history.

Keep the door lock actuators out of the old doors, they are a common fail point for these cars. Great work, enjoying this Ultimate Rebuild!!

great work 👍 continue doing these quick rebuild series and your channel will grow big time audience love that

Zach you should be rightly proud of your work. I really look forward to your posts and projects. Keep them coming.

Thank you for always sharing your journey into learning new skills, love that you never let anything stop you. 😊

Most impressive work I've seen you do yet! Outstanding job young man it looks great! 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
