More for fun, Rich Rebuilds got a $100, junkyard Prius working and then took it on a trip. Those who have wrenched their own Prius may enjoy this tale of woe: 12 V battery missing Traction battery missing Catalytic converter missing Cowling disassembly to change spark plugs Here is his trip report: 3,700 mile test drive Independent shop repair at destination One CVT joint failure near success return Entertainment for those who have wrenched their rides.

Myself and others reached out to him when these videos first came out and we got a repsonse and started making plans and a minute later Rich Rebuilds was on to a far more interesting luxury edition Lexus hybrid with limousine like comforts, which is a far more fun/inspsiring resurection video than his Prius video. We never got a reply from our messages again.
. "He starts more projects than completes.". Holy Jebus ... I know that story oh too well. In my snotty-punk days of youth, at a time when I had far more $$$ than a kid should have, I was probably going at a ratio of 3:1 start:complete. The worst contributing factor was that I was working in an auto-parts store. LOL @ ME! If I knew then the real economics of being an adult ... my life just might be a little easier now.
