Rebuilding a TOTALED Pontiac Solstice GXP in 33 Minutes
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
This week go through the entire rebuild process from picking up the car to the the price reveal in ONE video! We bought this red Solstice GXP that we thought only had some minor rear end damage and no key. After further investigation, we found out that it had frame damage, a timing chain slap, and the dirtiest interior we’ve ever seen. Can we bring this one back from the brink? Hope you enjoy! Thanks so much for watching!

Rear dual exhaust valance available in fiberglass from R K SPORT.
As always... A very nice car in the end.

Impressively nice work. You brought junk back to life at a cheap price. Video was excellent all in one 33 minute roll.

Wow, that's a long build for you. I can understand putting that rebuild into one video. In the end you saved another beautiful car that was worth the time and effort. The Solstice keeps going up in price especially the GXPs so I think you'll do okay with it.

The Solstice Coupe took us almost a year too. Something about these solstice projects takes forever 🤔
Gods work!
Another excellent video. FWIW, a few folks have cut an exhaust outlet into the single exhaust valance when going to a dual exhaust system. Yes it's a bubba approach, but as you found out finding GXP exhaust valances has become difficult. Another option is NormsFiberglass who offers a few different fiberglass exhaust valances. Though he is known to take awhile to finish projects due to be a small operation, and he amount of orders he receives. Regardless, looks great.

Thank you sir! Good information.
This is perfect, just picked up a gxp myself that is pretty beat up😅
Great price! As an owner of a nearly identical car (besides color) your channel (particularly, unfortunately, the timing chain tutorial) is becoming very helpful. Anytime you do work on this keep sharing! I’ll watch and learn

If you like solstice rebuilds, check out our playlists, we’ve done 5 different Solstices before this one!
I bought my daughter a super clean Sky for her first car.. I’m giving it to her next Friday🤫 I’ve been a watching this channel for a few years and have learned a lot from the channel and the SKY-Solstice. Also what’s your member info on the forum…? I’m a member there too.

bad idea. give a cheap car, that is cheap to fix, reliable, and already has a bunch of dents on it. Keep the sky for yourself, and keep it in the garage.
Hi Mark they say all good things take time, in this case it took over a year but it looks awesome as always

Thanks! It kinda just got worked on between other projects. Which made it more difficult to remember where I was at in the process but it came together nicely at the end!
By the way, I would like to see a video on removing the convertible top and repairing. :)

We did a video on restoring a convertible top a few years back: kzread.info/dash/bejne/qmqOzpuvmMXUqZc.html
In this case, gotta ask: Where's the "Thanks!" button?

I like both fast and slow rebuild videos. Both have their place. Great video, I think you can make a few bucks. With 74k miles was the Cat & Tubo harder to get off than the tutorial?

It got copyrighted for a song we’ve been using for years. Apparently artists can throw a copyright on a song that they marketed as royalty free for KZreadrs, 5 years after they released it.
Just a question, I have an 07 gxp. How did you fix the exhaust rattle?

If I remember correctly, the muffler was pushed forward when the bumper was hit and caused the exhaust pipe to vibrate against the undercarriage. I think I pulled it back out with a hoist.

@@rebuildit thank you so much. Mines rattling a little and just bought it. I'll check to see if the hangars are allowing the exhaust to sway into the bumper! Love the video!
I paid $200 for mine and I'm not going to spend $5,000 on parts when all it needs is a door and a fender and a bumper and maybe replace the top that's less than $1,000 where I'm at

Trash is extra, since we’d have to dig back through and find it.
