That red Century is a Big Al special!! Ultimate sleeper: Swap that Cobalt SS powertrain into the Cavalier!!

Tap that. Shaft.. Bust nut... Yeah, talking about a Chevy Cobalt alright 🤙🏾 Also ,maybe a tripod in the future for this channel(you might have one already) so you can do more time lapse showing repairs.

Man... Your vids makes those self isolation times go easyer. I think I would go and watch old vids of yours 😂😂

Yes Randy we want to see the video of you throwing a fit lol 🤣🤣

You should definitely do bloopers you and lucky are funny dudes. NE videos that you have that's long and drawn-out some of us like watching them cuz it was very educational

That intro had me thinking I ventured to the weird side of the internet again 🤪😂😂

$.99 f'n cents jeezus here in CA I'm here paying $3 a gallon.

YES! Randy's bloopers reel. Gotta do that!

Thumbs up for cow moos and car repair - Lol A good diversion from the current state of things. That is greatly appreciated!

Great video Randy! Looks like another win from IAA. Good to see Lucky and his wife. Gas is $1.82 here in Maryland! All the pick a parts here have been bought up by LKQ! Keep up the great work man!

I enjoyed the video with you and Luckys Wheelz N Dealz

Love when you focus on a job like this. You DO have a lot of knowledge and talent. Nice surprise seeing LUCKY in the house also. HEY, you 'should' be able to sell to Lucky as you both are Dealers so it would be Wholesale Dealer TO Dealer - NO Retail involved. Who knows! Anyway, good content from all, thank you and stay safe! Sonny (CT)

This video is really really good especially with your guest Lucy and his wife.

Great episode omg it was worth the wait 💯👍

Randy, I had a 1994 Beretta with the 3100 V6. I can relate. Those vehicles are part of my generation too.

And Randy you don't need to explain to us for the way you did things. There are always haters. Cannot please everyone so just roll with the ones who appreciate you.

Kind of a PITA in some ways to do it... but I used to deal with struts/springs in this manner- put the car up on stand(s), and support/raise the LCA with a jack. Then bust the nut on the strut shaft, remove the upper strut mount fasteners, then slowly lower the LCA. Installation is reverse of removal. The PITA part can be getting the strut bearing in the right spot when re-assembling. And those look like aeroforce interceptor gauges in the a pillar- I had an earlier single gauge in my GTP. All they should need is an OBDII connection and a switched power wire.

I had a Corsica just like that. V6 in the same red color. Except mine had red interior. She was a cheap used car for $375, but ran well and made so many cross state trips with no issues.

So glad you actually fixed something yourself....keep showing those kinds of videos.

Great video Randy! Would definitely want to see the “blooper” reel lol.

It helps if you remove the ball joint bolt! The ball joint has a indent in which the ball joint bolt slides threw! The ball joint would have separated if, You would have removed the ball joint bolt 1st... You got lucky with the rear control arm bolt NOT BEING SEIZED! THAT IS ALWAYS FUN! Spent 3 days with a saw-zall & about 30-50 blades!!!! Finished up with 1 hour to be at work!!! Every time that I end up in one of these tough, automotive jobs, I swear to myself that I am purchasing a oxyacetylene torch! Just need more hours at work to be able to afford one!!!

I always heard the Cobalt SS decently quick but I never really believed it. This thing looks to be quick for a 4 cylinder

@Auto Auction Rebuilds Randy that cobalt is a badass car.

I remember paying $1.15/gal back in the 90s when living in MWC....what’s old is new again

Happy to see the car running was special to see it move and keep up the work and happy to see lucky there too

I have owned both a Corsica and a Century. They are not the same, sorry, they aint. I had an 89 Century Wagon with the 3.3 When I bouth it, it had about 60ish thousand miles on it and when I sold it, it had over 280,000 miles on it and I never did any major work to the engine or transmission. The biggest thing I did to the engine was a water pump. Most reliable car I have ever owned. Love the videos Randy, thanks for doing what you do man.

Just have to love that little Cobalt and it's supercharger!

Love to see youtubers working together

I’ve got a big history with the old Corsica’s. My dad used to own one. He ran the hell out of that sucker until I believe around 08-09. I’m pretty sure it had over 200,000 miles on it. I can’t remember the year on it, but let’s just say it had that 90’s interior.

I can watch Randy's video all day long just love em content

I'm following lucky & weird & TK all from your channel 😉

good video Randy! Good that you including Lucky!

Good to see Lucky again.

Hi Randy. Cobalt is a steal for the money. Lucky seems like a nice guy. Keeping it fun! It sure looks nice at AARHQ. Listening to the cows moo!

Both of my favorite, Top 2 auto KZfaqrs or KZfaqrs that do automotive things... #yeee #AAR

Buy the pick-a-part! See if they'll do owner financing (Even if they don't interests rates are super low). Then you can do your walk-arounds there haha

Dude, I had that same exact car for almost three years. Modded it and tuned it and had it running 13 second quarter miles!

I would really love to see you find an Ion Redline to repair and park next to the new Cobalt SS. I freakin’ love the Cobalt SS and black has to be the best color for them. What a score this one was.

Thanks for the video, salvaged cars is nostalgic at best. Got an 08 Cobalt coupe and this video gave me some ideas and help on what i need to do with mine👍👍👍👍

If you look on the back side of the ecu considering the previous owner used zzp if they tuned it, there will be a brief description of what could be on it

You and lucky are awsoms in videos together. Keep up the good work guys

That Cobalt SS is nice, the Supercharger sounds great. Wish we got these in the UK.

😃 Oh the Corsica that brings back memories... My mother a rare 89 hatchback model. I loved that hatchback, it had so much extra room. She was planning on getting another car, and so was looking around at dealerships, I had the perfect car picked out for her... My school had just leased, for a driver's ed car!!! 😮 A supercharged 1996 Impala SS in a beautiful rose color with cream interior, she absolutely would have loved it, and it would have still held its value today. All she had to do was just wait until the end of the year for the schools lease to be over, and the dealership then would have given her a heck of a deal on the car then. I could have had the Corsica then for my first car. 😧 Instead she went to another dealership in the meantime looking around, and they told her the Corsica had a blown head gasket "I call BS" and they convinced her into buying a run-of-the-mill 96 Pontiac Grand Am, and giving her a next to nothing on a trade in on the Corsica... 😭 why Mom??? RIP

Cool to see people getting along on here.

😂 that intro! Nice meeting u!

I’m glad to see lucky back man you guys would make a great crew

Gas is still 2.64 a gallon here in Canada , the slowbalt is looking great , the Mazda well it is a Ford after all haha , another great video,

Next time try a quick strut. That's all I use now. Comes fully assembled with new spring, bearings etc. A little more money but a lot less work.

Bloopers would be friggin awesome 😎

Keep it real don't edit out the good stuff! That car sounds cool never heard of it with the blower and stuff, but I think it has a lot of mods also? Luck's wife looks so friendly he truly is Lucky:-)

That's doing it Australia style. That's what my Aussie mechanic told me out in BC. Getting it done until you can get it done.

Jessica is soooo lovable. I so wish she was more comfortable being on camera, she is a real sweetheart. Her little giggles in this video were soooo adorable.

Man those Cobalt SS are a riot.

I have a 1996 Century I basically daily, got it for $400, put $300 worth of work into it, 135k miles runs like a top!

Thanks Randy and Lucky, Great job... Seattle

11:44 - hahaha you dirty man 🤣🤣

Good thing you brought Lucky with you, Never want to test pilot a car like that with the issues it has all by yourself. It seems nice though. I never did try one of these when I lived in the US. I would not mind it though. I know Cobalts are not the most liked cars compared to camaros and mustangs but they are not too bad from what i could see when i was a rental car agent.

i love the Randy and Lucky collabs. Keep up the great content Randy. I don't care what anybody says you git her done!

Another great car bought at a decent price and repaired economically. Must be a good car because Lucky is moving in for the purchase and if it wasn't a great car he wouldn't bother.

Pullapart on SE.15th in OKC has their land for sale for 14m. They are not shutting down, they are waiting to sell their land and they have already purchased a new location further east on s.e. 15th. but they aren't moving until they sell their old land.

Great video, I had a 96 Buick Century that looked exactly like the one in that junkyard my senior year of high school through early college days (04-06).Loved that car. Really love that Cobalt and glad you got it on the road. Hope you do some more with it.

This car makes me smile

I remember my mom trading in a 47 Plymouth on a new 55 Chevy it was traded on a 63 Chevy 2 that I got (this is my car era), and Mom bought a new 70 GTO. so I parked my 55 Studebaker that no one would run against and pulled the 194ci 6 out of the little 63 Chevy and dropped in a warmed over 292 GMC 6, with the correct paint and air cleaner no one noticed the Holley 4 barrel carb, after market manifold and taller engine but lots went home counting their spark plugs. The 38 Chev I bought in 1965 was fun to drive but nothing was more satisfying than blowing the doors off the Camaros and Mustangs with a 6 cylinder 4 door family car... In the 60s I would buy 3 cars a week or more, swap all the good parts into the best body and sell it, people with good jobs made about 8k a year I was making 10 to 15k while in High school Then the local Government noticed me and put me out of business, no mechanics licence, can't work on cars no dealers licence, can't sell cars. Wrote the test got my mechanics licence, Registered a small business and got a dealers licence then they ruled and regulated me completely out of business. Six months earlier I had a run in with the mayors son and had to take him to court to get paid for the car he bought then all this shit happened. Power corrupts. Finished school, got my Civil engineering degree, Went to visit the mayor and his son in jail for embezzling money from the city, laughed at them then continued on with my life. Some where in all that mess I spent 5 years in the military now I'm stuck being called LT for the rest of my life and life looks a lot different after 70, never thought I would make it past 50, raced and crashed anything fast, cars, motorcycles and snowmobiles was shot at by people I don't know, killed a few. Life has its ups and downs for the most part it has been good. Now I'm trapped in my own home because there is a 0.003% chance of me dying from this stupid Chinese virus, according to the latest statistics from the only people I believe >DOCTORS< I have had worst odds than that my whole life. Just more BS so the rich can buy control at fire sale prices. Like I said Power corrupts. Sorry about the rant it's 5 am here and I can't sleep. I subscribed because I like what you do, makes me feel young again and that's good when you have only a few years remaining Thanks

Lucky is a dealer you should be able to sell the cobalt ss to him

There is a one way ball and spring valve somewhere in the oil supply system that if absent or not functioning can cause low pressure at idle in the mazda 6 engine.

Probably the best thing to use to get the rest of that half shaft out of the trans would be a slide hammer with the adaptor to remove a stuck half shaft. If you look on ebay at slide hammers, They have a umpteen piece kit that includes a piece that wedges in behind a axle shaft.

Nice to see some love for the Cobalt SS. This was a good learning experience. I got some work to do myself on the wheels.

I always hit the thumbs up button right before I start the video

I like how u and lucky do videos .good team good stuff

Thanks for sticking with the plan, I got to ride along in a blown ss cobalt for my birthday! Good video

Good video enjoyed watching as always keep up the great work

Awesome video Randy. Have a great day and stay safe. Love the sound of that Cobalt.

I have been subscribed to lucky for some time now 🎉

Thanks for all the hard work! Awesome video!!!

It's great to see you down at pull a part. Id like to see more walk arounds in parts yards. I'm like a kid in a candy store. If I go for a part, I'm there half a day. I love to make good second hand parts do another round. It's so satisfying

Most definitely shade tree Enjoyed it immensely.

I picked up whole passenger suspension a while back from detroit axle on ebay , its been real good. Strut assembly plus , tie rods, stabalizer, control arm $180. They have good reviews.

Subscribed brother. Keep it up

Well done on getting the car running for the viewers man. Rebuilding the CV shaft not that bad, clip at end which fits into the box is important indeed. Shout out to lucky.. as well ✌

Good one! Thanks for doing all the work for us! Take care and God bless you all!

34:29 Did you miss 2nd, Randy or is your 2nd gear synchro gone? If it is the synchro, double-clutch it, it'll take care of that. Push in the clutch, 1st->Neutral, let it out, push it back in, Neutral->2nd. My old 1988 Mustang LX 5.0 SSP had a bad 2nd gear synchro and that not only took care of it but after some practice, you can really get quick at it.

That Mazda problem with bogging down when you barely gas it sounds like a fuel delivery issue. Maybe a fuel pump or something like that

Cool Video Randy!!

Wow that car is sweet😍😁 , thanks for the longer video!!

This was worth the wait

That supercharger sounds like the cobra Eaton supercharger

revs up fast like its fitted with lightened flywheel.

Bloopers are always good

That was some good video content. I subscribed to Lucky’s channel

My gran ma when she was alive ❤️ use to have one of those buick century's only hers was grey back in the day it got stolen while she was at work at Publix Brandon FL on hwy 60. Rite from the parking lot in front of the store

Great video auto auction rebuilds 👍🏻. That’s the ticket

That's a awesome ride

Randy, Randy, Randy! You turned that car into a death trap.

Luckys wheelz n dealz✌yeee

Lucky is one cool guy.......cool vid Randy..........

Check the rear transmission mount on the cobalt might be cracked from the damage they are pretty easy to break

My first vehicle was a 96 beretta with the 3100. Sadly the motor went and the passenger side door is done due to being tboned but thats all the issues it has. If you want it you can have it here in arizona. I have a replacement door for it

Both you guys work hard

Looks like the Cobalt SS there's a lot of fun to drive. I'd really like to see your bloopers and outtakes and your temper tantrums and throwing tools when you're working on cars. We're all human and we all get frustrated. That would be funny to see Randy LOL

Randy you’ve gotta do some bloopers!!!!
