Got my Tahoe home here are the pics - #1 Car Club In Kitchener - Waterloo - Cambridge

**VIPERREDZED** · 12-29-2007, 04:54 PM

For those of you that don't know i bought a wreaked 2002 Chev Tahoe LT fully loaded 58,000miles. I just got it home starts repair after the new year. The body itself is in WAY better shape than expected. the truck is from Virginia there is not a spec of rust anywhere the undercarrage looks like it rolled off the showroom floor.

**chodoctr** · 12-29-2007, 11:31 PM

**Pharaoh** · 12-30-2007, 12:07 AM

**NightHawk** · 12-30-2007, 08:59 AM

You guys are forgettting that his dad owns a body shop so the work will get done next to nothing.

Good score on the Tahoe Greg. Like everyone said progress pics.

What is the that thing in the back seat by the door? Metal

**VIPERREDZED** · 12-30-2007, 09:13 AM

Kevin thats a new Front Bumper

Why would i have to pay next to Nothing for it when fixed its a 18,000 dollar truck........i will have significantly less than that in it Taxes in Fixed

and the cab from the firewall back is immaculate......i have never seen a vehicle so clean since its from Virginia its never seen snow. the undercarriage is not even dirty next time i am home i will take a couple pics for a 2002 its in amazing shape........

and before people ask about the one beside it being another Tahoe its not its a 2003 GMC 2500HD my dad bought for himself we bought 3 trucks in a package deal 2003 GMC 2500HD for dad 2002 Chev Tahoe LT for me and a 2003 Chev 1500 standard cab long box work truck to flip

**meancx** · 12-30-2007, 11:46 AM

**VIPERREDZED** · 12-31-2007, 09:55 AM

Virginia, and never seen snow do not go together that well... seeing how I have been in Virginia twice in the winter months and both times there were large amounts of snow and even more salt to go with it. They salt down there like its free.

thats crazy my uncle just sold a 2007 avalance with rear damage, had only 4800 kms on it as well.. they made some crazy cash on it to! they picked it up in south carolina for dirt cheap and still made wicked profit on it.

I'm guessing you guys have all the good stuff at your shop?

I've always wanted to get into body work repairing cars like that!

**VIPERREDZED** · 01-01-2008, 10:12 AM

Thats my dads shop in the background we are unloading my truck in that pic. yeah hes got a frame race just put in a new paint booth 2 months ago. then there is a seperate back hobby shop that has a hoist

**augiedog** · 01-02-2008, 12:26 AM

congrats on the purchase

you keeping it a tahoe or switching it to a yukon front end??

**VIPERREDZED** · 01-02-2008, 04:55 PM

Its staying Stock easier for Resale. only thing it will get is 17's of a 2006 since tahoes never changed untill now. and the stock rims will get snows

**fixitmattman** · 01-02-2008, 08:10 PM

Font end looks like ass

It does look like a great candidate for a fix.

How do the sales of these things go with the branded titles? Picking up a few vehicles like that and flipping them this summer would do nice to supplement my income and pay for school.

**96escortlx** · 01-02-2008, 10:03 PM

I'm suprised that nobody has said it yet... but I think that could just buff out

look into a hd hood for it, slight difference that stands out once you know what looks different about the truck

there is a thread on one of the chevy sites where someone swapped a tahoe to the 03 & up front end from a pick up

Sales of them go fine. but you have to document the fix and get the chassis recertified at a shop that can change the brand from Salvage to Rebuilt. i would probably make around 4-6g if i were to sell this truck when finished

augiedog yeah the HD hood sits alittle taller but i already have a mint stock hood on the parts truck i am taking the front end off of theonly thing i have had to buy so far is i got 2 new fenders. Grill, rad support, headlights, turn lights, hood, rad, condensor, bumper are all mint on the parts truck. we do have a 07 front at the shop it would just bolt on but they are ALOT of coin so we will just wait till we buy another 07 truck to fix. we are all about doing things for as cheap as we can. this trucks only worthwile to fix since we had 3/4 of the parts to begin with.

hey thanks for answering all these questions.. but most importantly? how could you forget to comment on you being totally wrong with the weather conditions?!? lol do you even know anything..

both of the airbags are blown too. you will be replacing them? easier sale? sell this death trap to someone without airbags and kill them.. real nice.

any car hit from front right away is a write off in my experience.

**crxforum** · 01-03-2008, 02:37 PM

You should do a JDM front end conversion.
