- We found a piece of paper inside our new car with a phone number on it, so we called it...
That's when things got crazy and our investigations took an unexpected turn as we unraveled the strange history of this car.

You don't need a repair invoice, but at least a stat deck from the person who repaired it stateing that they repaired the damage (itemised) to the best of their ability. Stat deck must include vin number etc. You also need the original receipts for parts with vin number of donor car if used part(wreckers should do this anyway). Need original receipt from where ever the last owner bought it from included with your purchase receipt from where ever you bought it. wouldn't be hard at all to get back on the road if you can contact the last owner.

Hey MCM guys, it's really crazy to see this car again after all these years, I'm actually the kangaroo that got hit by this car. I still have a 6 screws and a plate in my left arm. Hope it brings you better luck than it brought me.
diamond comment here. laughter with tears reading this
So "funny"
Fuckin skippy
😂😂😂😂😂 best comment on this vid by far.
I'm still laughing at the fact that kangaroos are called "skippy" in Australia
imagine being some random MCM fan and getting a call out of the blue by Moog telling you he's bought your old car. mad
proper mad x)
At least I would know it was in good hands
My favorite part was "Hey, it's Moog from Mighty Car Mods!" and without hesitation or like "wow why are you calling me?" it's right into "How ya goin' mate?"
@@Inpheksion don't get me wrong I was nervous and excited as hell
It's Double-A mad, mate... it's Maad!
I love this. Just a pure Australian moment when he calls up and the guy is so chilled and happy to talk.
When you think these guys could’nt get more wholesome then you see how moog talks to fans on the phone 🙌🏻
it was wholesome until I saw a kangaroo explode D:
Yea man these guys are the most wholesome cartubers out there. Would love for them to come to the states. Like do a series of track days at like road America and VIR etc etc
I cannot tell you enough how much I respect you guys for supporting reach out. My friend who was 19 committed suicide a few weeks ago and to think there are people out there trying to make the lives of people like him better really does mean something. Thank you
Getting tagged by a Kangaroo is really the most Oz thing ever. “F’n skippy” 😂
If this project gets a name, it should in fact be named Skippy, now that I think of it.

Speaking of regretting selling a car. I spent a year building my Evo back in 2013 and then got laid off from my job in 2014 and I had to sell it, I missed it every single day since. So last year I got the chance to buy it back from the friend I sold it to. He only put 14k miles on it in the 6 years he owned it. I paid cash for it this time around so it's not going anywhere this time! 😁
Very happy for you man, Hope you have a Lot of Fun with it
That’s beautiful man. Good on ya getting you’re life together. Good friend that knew to keep it and give it back when the time was right.
Good for you man! I know that feeling. Good for you!
I put 14k on my car in the last year lmao, nice!
@@Aftermath435 I bought my Evo as a rolling shell and put a built 2.3L stroker in it matched up with a some HKS cams and a Gt30r turbo. Super fun combo. Its making 351hp/348tq on stock boost, going to turn it up this summer to around 450hp and just have fun with it.
Martin is starting to sound like “sensible Dad” to Moog’s “over-enthusiast teenage son” ha ha! I love you boys 😊😊😊
"A for anu... apple."
You could try wandering into your local Subaru dealer, tell them the story and ask if they can search for the parts invoice based on the VIN of the car. Who knows, you could get lucky…
Power tools have ratcheting mechanisms on them for a reason: so that you can start loosening fasteners by hand.
You're fine.
I live in North Queensland and I had a prang in my 94 NC2 Fairlane, it was raining I was on a 4 lane street with centre parking and a Land Cruiser turned from the outside lane to the centre parking space right in front of me and smashed the left front of my car. He tried to blame it on me so I got the cops involved and he ended up paying a fine and my insurance claim, I was able to buy my car back for $200. My car was sent to the panel shop and they wrote it off saying that the chassis was bent (which it wasn't all the damage was above the bumper and in front of the shock tower). I went to get photos of the damage and I noticed the panel shop had a NA Fairlane with right front damage, then I realised they wrote my car off to use for parts, I got it out of there as soon as I could.
My Uncle learned from his neighbour who was a retired panel beater, I bought another Fairlane for parts and a year later my Uncle, my dad and I were able to repair the car in about 10 hours by replacing the radiator support and the sheet metal in front of the shock tower (measuring diagonally across the engine bay it differs by almost 2mm). We repainted it all and got roadworthy inspection and passed, the hardest part was getting it taken off the write off list, the inspector asked a lot of questions and had a bit of attitude and you can't watch while he was looking over it, but I was able to register my car again.
The blue clips are for holding wires! Subaru typically wraps them with electrical tape into the looms.
pretty exciting quest you guys are on here, i hope the rego comes through, considering how nicely the car was repaired and all. and big props to jesse, i bet he was stoked that his old car is being rescued on the best offroad channel on the internet! (ha) really amped to see what your long term plans are for this little sled, its too cool to make "average." gotta go nuts with it.
Imagine getting a random phone call from Moog.

Been watching you guys for a very long time. Probably around the 2008-2009 mark. I've seen most if not all videos of the channel at least once. I gotta say you are both legends yourselves for staying the good old driveway DIY buddies even after all the sponsors and moving in the shop. It is probably why ppl can still relate to both of you guys. Thanks for that.

Back in my misspent youth. I worked in an auto body repair shop, which specialized in buying wrecked salvage cars and getting them back on the street. They would buy two of the same make, model, and year, with damage to different areas of the cars.
We could drill out the factory spot welds and end up with enough undamaged parts to put one back together. They went back together pretty quickly because the robot done spot welds would be in the sam place on both bodies. So, all we had to do was weld the holes we had drilled shut. While the engine and transmission were out of the car, we would paint the completed body. We could strip them down and put them back together in two 24-hour shifts.
Ah yes the old buy a wrecked car and snag a car off the street and make a running registerable car out of it
@@zaceryhammond1144 My older brother the Highway patrolman was concerned when I first started working there. But, all the cars were coming in from real real insurance auctions, and had the white shoe polish on the windows, showing the name of the insurance company and the minimum bid.
@@zaceryhammond1144 there are legit businesses that do this for a living.
They keep diaries of the busted cars and repairs. Really good shops will disclose the images so you can see if you ask.
The timeline that the op referenced seems a bit eyebrow raising but whateves
@@DF-et4gs I can’t see legit businesses stealing cars off the street to make a clean unit with the wrecked one
@@zaceryhammond1144 that's not what I was saying. Buying wrecked cars from auctions or insurance places, two of the same units damaged at other ends building a good one out of the two.
I love how all the screws are like separated and potentially labeled. I’ve not seen something like that in a very long time and I love the super clean nature of it.
possible the rebuilder left those plastics off to make it easier for the inspector to get a better look at the repair area. the less he has to work the happier he'll be
This was my thoughts too, it must be left open for the inspector to clearly see all repairs
As someone who rebulit a car, that is bang on.
Nope that is not how wovr inspections work . The person inspecting the car in Queensland is not some mechanical guru or even a person trained to look at repairs or safety . They are simply looking at the receipts and the car to make sure it looks repaired and that the parts are not from a stolen car, you don’t leave any panels or anything off for the inspection you get a roadworthy certificate first then you drive it to the inspection station they take a quick look at it go through the receipts and ether tell you all good issue it inspected and passed or decline it and tell you the reason. Only time I’ve ever been told to go away and come back was on a tesla he wouldn’t pass it until the Takata airbag was changed as he could see it was on the effected vin list.
Imagine hearing your old car is in the hands of a show you like to watch. Thats gotta be such a cool feeling
Even with what seems is going to be a sad end to the story (no rego), there's still some good to come out of it all - you guys (and Jesse) are bloody troopers! Much respect!
Nothing wrong with having a dedicated track car like Marty.
I'm sure these guys know enough industry contacts to get a dodgy receipt for the work done so bureaucracy can be satisfied.
@@neilb6029 from that part at the end some dodgy shit happened and that car is done. Something on that car is stolen.
@@neilb6029 I think they're too honest to pull something like that.
@@dan.r9220 Sounds to me like the guy who repaired the vehicle is no longer with us, that's why they cant get the paperwork for it, and why it was his family who told them the price of car. Very sad story if I'm right.

Last owner was pretty sporting about it. Superb.
My s550 was a similar story. Found the lady’s bills in the back. She confirmed ownership history and had a stack of Maintenance and some stories too. It’s nice when they play ball.
Dude you got a S550!!! Sick car.
@@markm0000 Let’s be clear, it’s the Ford S550 😄
Still pretty cool though. It’s a BRZ in clown shoes. IRS mustangs are a hoot.
@@agenericaccount3935 oooooohhhhhh. It’s still a fun car and has all the pony power you need. Any faster than that and you’ll get in trouble real quick on public roads.
That is so freaking awesome! I had a similar experience with a 85 300ZX I bought. It popped up on FB MP for $700 bucks and was in pretty sorry shape and the lady said it didn't run. I went out there and was able to jump it and get it running, just a dead battery. The title wasn't in the persons name and I said if she could get the persons signature I'd pay what she was asking. When I went back to pick it up the signature was obviously forged and I talked her down to $300. I ended up searching the dudes name on the title and found him on FB and seen photos of the car on his profile! I sent him a message to see if I could mail him the documents for transferring the title to me and he was completely down for it! So in all I had a registered and driving 85 300ZX for $300 bucks! The interior was pretty torn up but ran and drove great after some service! It had the digital dash and would talk to ya! Loved that car, it is missed!
Ah yes, skippy's bane: the BRZ. Once its completed you should put a kangaroo decal on it like they did on warbirds
Exciting to see my favourite youtube channel expanding, been watching for years from NZ. Learnt heaps from you roos
"Why do we need two?"
"Because then there is twice as many."
Gotta say one thing.... Jesse is an all round top bloke, definitely the kinda guy you'd be happy to buy a beer for. Good on him! 👍
Wow, sounds like a rough time for the guy who fixed it. Hope he's well.
The mental health statement at the end makes me suspect he's not.
@@brett7801 Bro that would be pretty fd up
Purchased the car 7 and spent 10k and time and effort, probably arguments with family/missus and only sold it for 9 for a loss of 8k and all the time and effort. My guess is something happened to the person between the time span of fixing the car and registering it, or buying and fixing this car was a mistake that ruined that man’s life as he couldn’t get his money back or register it. Some people don’t got 9k spare. I’m lucky to save 100 dollars a week, that would set me back 2 years of savings. If MCM called me about it, I would say sorry I dunno what you’re talking about, don’t want anything to do with that car.
@@brett7801 that’s a charity they’ve been supporting for quite some time and the mention it every so often.
Based on them saying they spoke to the family of the person who fixed it, and agreeing not to share it publicly, sounds like mate might not be with us anymore. Maybe it ended up back in auction after they passed and that's why it ended up at a dealer for pennies on the dollar. Big props to MCM for being stand up guys about whatever the situation is/was and respecting the family's wishes. Much love to all involved, hopefully I'm wrong and they just want their privacy which is fair enough too.
22:19 "FARKIN SKIPPY" had me sent 😂😂
Jesse is awesome, and this shows again how amazing the MCM guys are, too.
22:20 - "F###n Skippy!" That had me dying of laughter. Glad Jesse wasn't hurt in that wreck.

What a cool story this has turned out to be. You found what you thought the story was and the guy totally confirmed it on the phone. How cool is that?
21:47
🤣 “In The BIN”
Ok thats just epic 🤣🤣🤣🤣
You guys really been here longer than pretty much anyone doing it for the love of the cars and nothing else. Such a great story behind this one.
I really liked the quick recap/update in text at the end. This is a fun process to watch, full stop.
Crashed at 27kms now has 100kms might have done a cluster swap and might explain where the extractors have gone. Someone might have a 27km BRZ with a set of extractors that’s actually done 100km
The 27k figure was the cost of repair not the KMs I believe
From what I gathered he was going 100km/h when he hit the kangaroo. Not 100kms on the odometer.
@@TheDevilVaper He was going 100km/h when he hit the kangaroo, but they also mentioned there's 100ks according to the odo when they were looking at the condition of the interior :)
@@vincentxtran There is no mention of the odo measurement. In which film did you see it and when?

That hand wrenching tequnique is something they are designed for. For more information you can see a Project Farm video that tests a bunch of them against each other.
Came here for this lol
Even on the directions for these battery powered ratchets, they state how much they are capable of torquing to but also state how much torque you can apply manually (usually 100ftlbs)
@@FixingWithFriends air ratchets also do it too
Yes but isn't the way the battery pack sticks out, sooo Black and Decker ish, it hurts my eyes to even look at something that poorly designed and unergonomic.
One of the best episodes of MCM ever!
Seeing as you'll be modifying it anyway, could you buy aftermarket parts and use those receipts to register it? Then sell the OEM parts to help cover the cost
Not likely they need receipts to match the parts listed on the report on the written off vehicle register. Mostly body panels, windscreen, new airbag, possibly radiator support, front bumper reinforments stuff you generally don't modify.
The only parts that have a registered numbers are airbag components. Body panels have no serial.
@@rci-9160 yes however damage to those parts are recorded into the wovr (written off vehicle register) and you need to prove the repairs to those parts I've done a wovr myself
@@rci-9160 attest with FCA and GMC products built after 1965ish the VIN is hiding in more the one place ie the doors hood tunnk seal/lid firewall transmission engine axle ect. i think 🤔 you get the idea. that's why the first time in got my G2 charger the 👮 was 👀 for evidents of a build-sheet and prior papers / fake/chopper as the same problem moog is running into, and win mine got stolen years later the PD were asking if i replaced anything or mods to id it
@@richardprice5978 The difference is your in the USA. Australia is a whole different ball game when It comes to Vehicle laws. To get plates, your car needs to be OEM with records on all parts fitted to it. It needs to be close to original and you cannot fake documents. Hence why the guy who bought it at auction, repaired it to it's original condition.
Channel hasn’t changed that much. Brilliant content
That tool IS designed to do that. Also to finish tightening. Always torque it a bit more manually after you hammer it home with that.
Correct.
This ^^^ Exactly right. Too many backseat mechanics lol
No, its not. I've seen guys break them by doing exactly that. It's designed for about 40 Nm of torque with some headroom. Put more than that and you'll shatter its plastic case.
@@CockroachSlidy Dude, it’s a ratchet. If someone builds a tool that can’t do the thing it’s literally named for, it’s not worth having. Every single air or electric ratchet I’ve ever had (and I’ve had quite a few in 30 years) recommends to NOT use the motor for loosening and tightening. Stop being a troll and let the adults talk facts.
@@MrVolksbeetle The fact is that these Ryobi ratchets don't have metal frames inside. They are literally split in half if you try to break a stuck bolt with it. In matter of fact you are not suppose to use even manual ratchets for this. They can handle some abuse but not a lot. This is why we have breaker bars. Just take a racket apart and see yourself how flimsy it is.

Hello
Looking forward to seeing how Skippy turns out
I knew that there would be an hidden Agenda.. It didn't take a genius to work it out. This agenda is everywhere.
Schroedingers 86
Do you guys own that charity?
They should totally let the guy drive his old car again when they get it fully repaired and modded.
definitely, they should take it up to the same track he got the pic at and at least take him for a trip round.
Just saw this after I made my comment, but this 100x

@@donovanradbourne-pugh1373 He would make a genuine effort to avoid them in that case LOL.
Honestly I would just rather race them in my Yaris (and lose again) 😂
Welcome back to the BRZ/86 family again Moog. We always knew you'd come back. When you drive a BRZ you never go back lol.
Having fixed a few of the 86 variants to pass inspections, the only parts that carry a traceable serial number from factory are the airbag (SRS) components. All the other body panels and miscellaneous parts have no way to be tracked. Just buy some new OEM parts, and use those receipts. Looks like a pretty easy fix!
That was my thought, but they would still have to buy parts to not use and then return. Seems like a hassle. But.... if he bought 2....
@@dan.r9220 buy 2, swap the parts out.. pass the inspection and put the parts back in...then sell the 86 🤣 legit plan??
@@HyperFragHD The whole point of this is to make it impossible to do that.
You need proof of purchace to prove you got new parts that didnt come off another car.
In VICTORIA if you buy parts from another person to put on a repairable write off, you need the VIN number of the vehicle it came off and then that vehicle cant be registered for road use anymore.
Ask me how i know........ GSXR1000 needs a VIV cert to get re registered. almost impossible without buying all factory replacement parts and making a repair diary documenting all the repairs.
@@rb30e faaaaark, in Queensland they don't really give af aslong as the vin of the vehicle your trying to register doesn't raise alarms your fine
@@rb30e In their case, purchasing the panels new from a Subaru dealer would be the best bet, and they are not very expensive.
The reason the repairer tried to sell it to the original owner, is that a WOV can be reregistered without any receipts if you owned the car for 28 days before the right off. The rule is there for people who own collectable vehicles . The dodgy repairer found he could not register if himself so tried this loop hole. The original owner would probably have succeeded in getting registration. I bet the parts for this car repair came from stolen cars.
I (unknowingly) bought an 06 XT Forester back in 2011 from a dealer here in nsw that was a repaired write off in qld. Back when revs apparently didn't bring up info from other states 🤔. Owned it for a few years, bigger turbo and whatnot, was awesome. Years after I sold it one of the owners after tried to register it as it was unregistered at one stage... And it couldn't be done for some reason, even though it was rego'd in nsw for ages. 🤷🏻♂️. I hit a roo in that as well lol.
Entertained And Educated! I'm in the U.S. and all of your Aussie car content is new to me. Thanks guys!
i have been thru this before""Look worst case scenario you can remove all the replaced parts you don't have proof of purchase for sell them or swap them with a wrecking yard" get more parts with a proof of purchase and vin of the car it came off then write out a detailed repair letter of what was done! then you are all good to go!
Smart ... very goodcthinking ..hopevthey read this ..
Or buy the parts and immediately return them, keep the original sale receipt 😶 I'm sure that's very illegal 😂
@@TheTomco11 sadly that won’t happen
90% of new cars have vin or serial numbers on all there parts
How do they know what parts were or weren't replaced though? Without a paper trail i feel like it's a bit of a dead end.
@@craigmonty lol clearly you can see what parts were replaced
Dash due to airbag!
Airbag
Airbag module
Passenger head light!
Radiator support bracket!
Left guard
Bonnet
Wheel liner since they are missing!
You clearly missed the fact that they have pictures
Also you can get a report of the damage via ppsr
My favourite shirts are shirts that have inside jokes on them which require explaining to people. The best. Top notch.
Of course he's got a photo with you guys! Haha love it
I may go to the underworld for this but him yelling "Ah F*&^ing Skippy" Made my die laughing!
Buy another wrecked BRZ to "take the parts off" to fix your car. The paperwork will explain where all the parts came from. Even if you have to pay another $4000, you will double the value of the car. Paid $15000 for the white car and parts car, to have the white car be worth $30000
This is high IQ
I think youd still have to have detailed photos of all the crash damage though.
My Dad used to do this with old Datsun's lol. We always had a whole spare parts car lol. It worked out well over the years.
Here is a problem though. They have no idea what parts were fixed. The repair on this car is fantastic. How do you track what parts were changed. You still need the report and receipts to even see what was changed.
In Vic you also need detailed photos of the repair work, so this may also be true in qld.
I died laughing when the original owner yelled "F***in' Skippy!" in the dash cam video lololol
Honestly really hope that you can get the receipts. Would love to see this back on the road.
"Is it worth $10K or $30K? Both." It's schrodinger's value lol
I really like it when you guys get to find a history on a car you acquire
"F*cking Skippy", laughed out loud. Looks like the same experience as hitting a White Tail Deer in Wisconsin, at least you guys don't have snow.
“Ohh fucking skippy” is the most Aussie response ever
Just lol'd in the waiting room of a tyre place at the dash-cam footage...
"Arrrgh! F*+King Skippy!" 😂
"If you see NCM, NCM is NOT car mods.."
Me: patiently waiting... ok what is it then?...
10 seconds later... OH
That is so cool finding original owner and even better with someone that knows who touched the car.
Thanks for keeping me entertained and I love your work
The background on the car really makes this episode for me. Now I've really bought into the car and how it all turns out. Good stuff!
I haven't watched an episode of MGM in a while but watching you two buy skeevy cars from the internet is so classic that I had to come back
The after crash working words yelling at a Skippy is the very Australian equivalent of yelling at a whitetail deer running in front of you in the Midwest up here in the US.
Loved "Ah!! Fuckin skippy!!!" brilliant
I love the lore on this BRZ!
Your support of ReachOut is fantastic...a credit to you both [and Jesse]...!!!
"F*cken' skippy!" had me in tears lol
Be careful, having worked in the insurance and repair industry i have seen quite a few jobs like this where a reparable write-off has been repaired with a stolen car and its parts. which kinda might explain why you have so many genuine clips and fastners. Hope thats not the case.
And that's exactly the reason for these laws preventing registration. Lots of people here giving tips on how to bypass the rules without any regard as to why the rule is there in the first place. If you buy stolen vehicles or vehicle parts, you are directly supporting the thieves. Always make sure the used parts you are buying have a believable backstory, even if it's just going on the track.
So THIS is why I absolutely adore watching MCM for 7 years strait! Keep it up guys!
P.S. Poor skippy, RIP 😑
Jesse would have been even more of a legend if he snuck in “I’m really more of a ‘Marty’ fan” when chatting with Moog as a good ribbing.
You gents are absolute LEGENDS! Love what yall do for the global car scene, keep smashing it!
What a small world! I think it would be absolutely amazing if you guys could get Jesse to come see the car after it's been built up (maybe even give him a ride at the track / go to a track day together?) would make for some awesome wholesome content!
That's cool that the owner would respond and help you guys out and what you're doing to that vehicle
I've rebuilt a car myself (in Canada) and we basically have the same rules as Australia
If it helps, try getting paper work from the dealer (part receipts) saying that you bought the parts from them (even though you haven't) worked for me.... Might work for you

@@dominikszafran5514 Lol Ontario gets the short end of the stick, crushing cars for "Street racing", no radar detectors, ect and on top of it roads that kill cars, every one I've come across that has Ontario history is always super crusty and rusty.
Oh this is so cool! I love when cars have an interesting backstory. Super cool to hear from the previous owner and he's a fan! Absolutely wild. Love you guys, great content as it's always been for years!
This is a wild story. I'd love it if Jesse could make a live appearance on the reveal episode after you guys are done working your magic on it.
Excellent episode. You guys are awesome! Keep up the good work. I hope you are able to get your paperwork you need so you can register your car.
Did you know that if you peel the rubber back around the head of that ryobi ratchet you can remove the head and turn it any direction in 90 degree increments.
You can also buy Rigid jobmax tool heads that fit, There are right angle drills, right angle impact drills, jig saws, and vibrating saws that all fit.
The best part of the vid is the guy cursing Skippy in the dash cam film 😂
If the registration in QLD works out, surely a road trip to Jesse’s place so he can see and drive the car again
This 100%
Hey Moog im sure someone has already said this but you are exactly correct using the electric ratchet. you break it loose first because its not an impact ratchet
