Welcome to Hoopie's Garage! the dumbest Automotive channel in all of YouTube and on the eve of a major life-changing surgery? Well, actually it's just a vasectomy I am going to survey my crumbling Empire here today and know this wasn't pre-recorded over a month ago. Uh, the Ferrari 456 is back I actually bought back my Japanese spec 1994 Ferrari 456 even though it has catastrophically failed a major part in the engine that's going to require tear down.

we're going to check this out here in a little bit. there's a reason why I bought it back actually. but also we're going to survey the rest of the cars, all the other projects going on, all the other broken cars, and some more decisions that I have made one of them the wizard finds rather questionable. But yes, we'll also check on the car ninja Apparently he's found some more bad news I think on the X6m, which is the absolute worst car ever and I need to make some decisions on some cars.

so let's get started. But before we talk about why I bought back my old Ferrari even though it's ruined I'd Like to thank Shipstation for sponsoring today's video.

Now is the time to try. If you've been on the fence. Shipstation.com movies? Yes! Wizard My last day is a fully functional man. So tomorrow you're having a gender related transitioning surgery.

Well, no No. I mean I haven't gone to The Nutcracker Basically which you have done yes I've had I did that like 15 or and you've only gotten more manly and more masculine as time has gone by. So yeah, exactly 15 years ago. Uh, you were not this hunky.

No. So I'm I'm not that worried other than the pain obviously. but uh, speaking of pain, that's not my car. Thank goodness some Audi getting torn apart.

but look what's back, you bought that thing back I did yes Dan Normal guy supercars sold him this and the Ferrari 355. we Road tripped it back and right afterwards the head gasket supposedly blew. He says that there's coolant in the cylinders I Felt really bad I Felt really bad selling this car anyway because I liked it so much and he was interested in my Murcielago So we did a little trade. so the Mercy's gone, the Murcielago is gone.

oh I really like that one I Really liked it too. It was a very tough decision, but there's a lot of tough decisions happening right now. So yeah, um yeah, so the good news is I got this back. but it's uh, it's food bar.

That's why the intake's off apparently. Uh, that's as far as they got. They saw that that was going on. It was way out of their depth as far as mechanical.

Works They needed a Ferrari shop to tear it down and uh I bought it back from there. Well, it has an interesting story. even before you bought it, there's got some repair history a lot. Yeah, it got an engine rebuild in Dubai which I mean I know When they took off the intake, they said the bolts were all varying torques so they're wondering if it was the same care given to the head bolts right which would have caused the head gaskets to fail.

So you're thinking which you don't need to do an engine out on these It was due for a belt service. You're thinking I should take it out I would like to pull the motor out and have Danielson go through it and just check the rod bolt check everything. Obviously if it does have a blown head gasket, the heads are have to come off, but it really needs a thorough check over to be sure that nothing else has any other issues. Well, thankfully I still have a little bit of in-store credit right? I have one more car.

I'm going to do the ticket on today and we'll see how much is left, but it definitely will be some to help chip towards this. It's getting close to 22 000 in the Citron gun in less than two months. Yes, Okay, all right and then I've made a decision on the Mustang that you find rather questionable. but uh, I was digging through.

This thing has a very thick log book, a lot of records and it has a history. I guess of these: Racing Engines they break all the time these push rods so that's actual common. They just break like that, they just snap so they've put ones in racing. you know, changing them all the time.

I'm thinking we just do the same thing and see what happens. So I kind of think the motor should come out to make sure everything's okay, but you're saying you just want to put some push rods and rocker arms and and drive it? Yes, Okay, you guys heard that you guys heard that that wasn't Wizard's call so it's on me. Exactly. It's on you.

Okay, yeah, because I know wizard doesn't You know it's not like you don't like race cars, you just don't do race cars and it needs to go to a race shop. He wants you know the car or the engine to go to a Rebuilder There's nobody around here that I could really trust with that I could send it to Las Vegas I could send it all over the place. but I mean it's just putting it on and seeing what happens is kind of. uh, my choice.

it does. It is kind of a relief to hear the story where you're saying that this has happened before. They put new rocker arms and just kept driving it right? Yeah, and he was so frustrated about it. He was emailing people with the same engine somebody with a Sunbeam Tiger and seeing that he was able to race all day without breaking a rocker arm and was asking what he did.

The guy had done some weird reinforcements or whatever with it. Uh, so it's definitely a thing. Unfortunately, the previous owner who was racing this car back 15 years ago, he's died. so I can't really ask him.

Uh, but uh yeah, not the Wizard's fault. this is. this is my call right? Yeah, well, we'll do that. That's what you want to do.

We'll put some new rocker arms on it and and uh, it'll probably actually I Think it'll run fine I actually think it will. Yep, so Audi not my problem, thank goodness. Uh, the Myvoc is back up here because of a massive leak. There was a puddle on the ground and I was quite concerned because the previous V12 twin Turbo I had was from uh, that went to legit street cars had that million dollar wound that requires tearing the engine down, taking the heads off.

all that stuff common with these motors. So is that it? No, that is not it. Okay, so what is it? I See, you have a few things off. Yeah, it's actually actually, let's just get it up in the air and take a look.

All right? I Remember how we fought that we couldn't get this on a lift before, but now you figured it out. But it, it barely fits. If it were an inch longer, it wouldn't fit. Yeah, it's got every inch in the hole right now.

Every inch. This is insane. Yeah, normally the ramps are not happy to see you. They fold down as the car goes in the air, but since it's using literally every inch of the lift.

Wow. Okay, so leak time? Look. ooh geez. it's a nice puddle.

It's a biggen. Yeah, the transmission fluid it is. Yeah, and there we have it. Oh geez.

Okay, good thing I got it up here. I probably didn't have much time before I Messed something up? huh? Yeah, it's a combination of the pan gasket which is common on these as well. Is there's a connector right here? Uh-huh? There's a Twist lock style connector and those go bad. and just I think that's the main leak.

It's just pouring fluid out for the electronic part of this. yeah, the conductor plate and things. So this is the sealed for Life transmission that has unsealed itself. Mercedes Said that for the life of the car.

you never need to service the transmission. which is absolutely stupid to say. but obviously it's unsealed itself. It has unsealed itself.

so everything else looking all right. There's a tiny seepage here coming from a valve cover, but I think with the major teardown it'll require. We could probably wait on that for a little while. Yeah, probably wait until a coil pack fails or something.

You know they do that every few years, right? Yep, Okay, well so that's goodish news that's a few hundred dollars. I'm on my way. That's not too bad at all to do that. All right.

And then it has the you said that has a warning light for the suspension sometimes. Yeah, intermittent. and that's actually your old Sentry tool there. Oh, this is my ancient one from the dealership.

Yes, it was old when I bought it. that was over 10 years ago. It still works perfect though well. and we found that there's a it says a low pressure code.

like just randomly kind of erratic, but obviously there's no low pressure. It's held up for over two weeks just sitting here, so it's just a little ghost. Yeah, and if it's just once in a while for you, there's not much. I mean it doesn't leak? Okay, well I'll ignore it then.

Yeah, we'll fix the leak and then that, my box back in business back in business. Um, speaking of leaks, the 49 Cadillac it had a big one. Did you get a chance to look at it? Yeah, yeah, this is kind of the everything's Breaking video. but uh, the 49 Cadillac actually left me stranded.

Uh I guess I ran out of gas. Yeah I put three gallons in it. It still wouldn't start but I wasn't cranking it quite enough. It has an electric fuel pump and you you have to let it sit there and run.

and Prime and Prime all the way up to the carburetor if you just jump in and start cranking and it still is not going to start. Yeah, so that's what happens because the fuel gauge wasn't working and then it had a really big leak which was this one's also the pen gasket. We've actually replaced the pen gasket. What I'm thinking is the actual pan is Warped they've tightened the bolt so tight from in the past.

I Got a new Chrome oil pan. fancy and it's got a cork gasket that'll take care of that. Okay, it did leak before when you first got it from the tail shaft of the transmission. right driveshaft that's totally dry.

Now you were worried about the drive shaft being too long. Yeah, it was every inch in the hole. just like that. All right, yeah, but this is a little bit of a hodgepodge.

Um, so I was able to. Thankfully the previous owner is still with us so I was able to have all those questions answered. He has a folder it needs to get to me of Parts but uh, fuel tank I believe what he said was a 70s Ford Truck Yeah 78 Ford truck. So now that I know that I can get the actual float for it and fix that.

And then the transmission was Turbo 400 trans and then there's one more leak, right? The steering gearbox is leaking and it could be rebuilt, but you can buy a reman one for those for the cost of rebuilding it. So okay and that was all your guy said like a 76 Cadillac Eldorado or something I don't know. Yep, so this Cadillac's here and my Escalade is outside and it has uh well, it just needs an oil change and the check engine light's still on for the fuel evap thing. Yeah, and it has the rattle in the steering wheel that these Gmt800s get.

which is what it was it right at the floorboard. I've worked I fixed a lot of those. It's the steering shaft. actually gets like a chuckle or a play in it.

when you turn or go over bumps. it's like yep, that it just needs to be greased up and put back together. It fixes it, a little grease for the shaft. That's right.

All right. Well is there anything here that's that's done Ready for me? There's the S600 Oh not the My Buck but the old 96. Yes, the black 90s 96. Yes, yes that one's done.

but you have a bill for me. but I don't have to pay it right right? because you have in-store credit guys. Hello Hello! This used to be your favorite day and now not such a not so much I'm Melancholy All this has been free. This is so awesome! So uh yeah.

well back to front. I Suppose there's the S600 140. What was the total built? That was a lot of work engine mounts I think there's a third page brake pressure switch, front main seal. There's a third page Yes.

um, oh, sixty seven hundred dollars. Wow. So then there was the Jeep Wrangler with the leak. no charge Z06 stuff no charge.

It does chunk down though. Um, what's this? Oh, the seat motors for the fan and then ah, teal metallic. the green one. one and two bills on that.

So I've gone from twenty one, twenty two thousand to a remaining balance that I'm going to go ahead and write the ticket we're at so far I could take four or five out of that. Oh okay. well. I've already taken the green truck home in the van home I need to show them the handiwork on the green truck because it looks great.

but uh, I guess we'll take the 600 home. Yes, 140. see what it's like? It's ready All right? Well, thanks Wizard! Yeah! I I Didn't expect to blow through all this money so fast. Well there she is.

The beautiful 140s 600 and a good car to have back before the surgery because of the soft seats and the smoothness, because I won't want things jostled around obviously for the next several days. All right. Oh yeah, that buzzing can stop anytime. Now there we go.

No lights anymore. Wonderful. They did a lot of work. A lot of leaks, suspension work.

a lot of lights go away. but she's good now. Oh, this thing is so much better now. Oh unfortunately.

I don't think I can keep it though because I am still needing to sell more cars and get more money. So yeah I suppose if you all want it. um what? I have into it now around sixteen thousand dollars with that bill even though the Wizard's built whatever I had to pay the Citron obviously. so I'm losing it either way, I guess I'll take that.

otherwise I'll put it on cars and bids but I'm gonna drive it for a little while. but in the meantime we'll head to the carnages and check on the X6m, which I wouldn't want to sell to you. Well, because it's the worst car ever. Oh, can't look at the back.

Okay, look at them Ninja, it's still ugly. It's in the front, it's a little better looking or it was at one point. But yeah, so you're turning things apart here. Yes and I found a lot of surprises.

Okay, uh. first of all, that's a salvage engine so how can you tell? Well, it has his obvious numbers right there, the yellow ones. So what you're saying is this X6m was 70 000 miles on. It had its engine below and now it has a salvage yard replacement engine in it.

which uh yes, that's probably why it's not running right. Is it exactly Is it bad? Well, no, no. uh. but whoever put it together? probably.

They did it in a garage or something because they had no idea what they were doing. Oh, zero idea. I Mean there's missing screws, bent hoses, pinched hoses. I Mean God knows.

But the massive oil leak is coming from this oil line flange. Hmm. Well, unfortunately. I mean we'll have to pull the turbos out to do that.

Oh okay, it's no big deal and guess what? you still have covered the converters? Oh I Do All right? Yes. All right. Yep, um. look at these.

It was so funny. Yep, so they weren't even tightened. No, no, no, no, no, Wonderful. No.

But it's amazing how much oil there is on that. V Uh oh. and the because it's the turbos are sitting here? Yes, in the V. Yes, it'll leak is massive.

It's like massive. Yeah, yeah. but um. oh, probably might have to change the belt too.

Look at that. I Just noticed that what's going on the belt is, uh, shredding itself. Yep, that's easy. I Mean that's very, very easy.

So it was put together by idiots and you think you can sort it out and it'll run well? Yes, and for any reason, if you're listening, please don't ever do this again. Just please. If you're a mechanic that works on this car, just just find a new profession. Exactly.

Sometimes it don't Okay, yeah, God yeah, but it should be perfect. All right. Yeah. Yeah Well, yeah, a few bits on the floor, it's never going to be perfect.

This was the worst car ever. It is. It is. But um, by the time it's going to leave the shop, it's going to be 100 all right.

You're gonna like it. I don't know if I'll like it, but yeah, the way it's going to drive. How about that? All right? Thanks Ninja? Nope. Well that is the status of the fleet and here is my Teal Metallic 1995 GMC Sierra SLT in all of its Glory This is an amazing, wonderful truck.

The Car wizard today. great job fixing what little it needed the new shocks The BFG All-terrains Not only does it look better, but it rides even better than I could have ever imagined. I Love this time capsule of a truck. I Certainly don't love some of the cars or at least one of them the X6m.

but I guess somebody has to buy cars like that and make videos about them. But uh, otherwise, everything's fine tomorrow. I will be a completely changed man as well. So uh, wish me luck there.

Thank you so much for watching.
