  • It is finally time to get the 2012 Lexus IS250 all finished up and send it to its new home. Between broken equipment and parts delays, this build seemed to drag on forever but in fact was actually pretty easy. If you are one of the select few that read the description, see how many easter eggs you can find in this video. You will recognize a lot of cars, parts and equipment in future videos.

    Nothing like starting off the weekend by watching Scott do his thing. I am sure I can speak for a lot of us and say Thank You for sharing all your wisdom. Have a great weekend everyone.

    That car looks great. I’d buy it if I needed a small sedan. Actually, I’d buy any car you rebuilt. 😊

    I was in the "Collision Repair" trade for 45 yrs. Recently retired. You give me hope that integrity and pride of our accomplishments will live on. P.S. We were called "Body Men" back in the good old days.🤭

    7:50 AMEN. I work with electronics repairs and I put every screw and bracket back on. Even foams and tapes. I like to make everything look like it came from the factory. If it came with it from factory for some reason, it’s going back on.

    Ah, Scotty's Lexus. The "relentless pursuit of...someone's been in here before."

    All the different installation tools you refer to would easily be replaced with a multi purpose meat mallet.
    Way cheaper and takes up less space in the tool box.

    My 37 Chev PU sat outside until the early 70's.Then for the next 15 years it was in a corn crib.until I rescued it and took it to my garage. At 85 years old there were only 2 spots of rust, both where the floor pan meets the back of the cab. Neither were rusted through, but the paint was blistered. I'm boxing the frame so I will cavity wax it, but the climate here is semi arid. I've had portions of the truck in bare metal for over a year with no rust forming.

    I live "Down South" and I still never skip rust protection on my repairs. If I can get at the backside of welds it gets Ecoat, paint and cavity wax. By far I hate the body prep. for paint the worst. I need a body prep gnome. Great job as always Scott!

    It would take an extremely good eye to pick that that had been repaired. It is actually better than new as it's now got better rust protection than original. I'd happily buy one of your repaired cars but I'm in Aus so that's unlikely. Great video.

    I use a couple of the 8 and 20 part storage bins from harbor freight, number them as I go along and sometimes write what they are to also jog my memory, then assembly is just counting backwards. big pieces are usually pretty obvious where they go, and if they're not well, maybe I shouldn't be taking cars apart to fix them. :D
