Quoted from scott_freeman:A company that will not sell service parts. Good luck with that.
I think you have to appreciate that the cars Rich is trying to repair are salvage vehicles that have been written off and the owner has already received a settlement from his insurance company. These cars are dead to the manufacturer and they don't want some guy watching Rich's channel to try and resurrect a car that could lead to a serious problem in the future. It's not like they won't sell parts for cars that haven't been declared salvage.
I watch Rich's channel and I like it. I have even noticed that Rich has an appreciation for the manufacturers position on parts for salvage vehicles even though he is at odds with it during these reconstructs. I am concerned for this latest project that Rich has been working on for the last while since unlike his last salvage this one was underwater for 10 days. I'll be curious to see if he's able to finish and better yet do it with a budget at least 25% under a comparable used version.
