You’ve got to start a series of buying back all of the pimp my ride cars, and bringing them back to life
Re-Pimp my former ride ?
Why?
That’s what I meant re-pimp what to do and what not to do and what is done correctly
He has to first rebuild every unfinished project he has going on right now.
Tavarish in some podcast mentioned that owners of other Pimp My Ride cars send him sell offers with ridiculous price.
This was the first series I watched by Tavarish
Same here, this is how I discovered Tavarish and I don’t really like car stuff :D
Same!!
me too
Is this a recycled video. I thought he did this already??
@@stevencosta He did. I think this is just a compilation of all of the videos put into one, just for ease of access. A "mega-compilation", if you will.
I love Jared's screentime throughout this. He loves the camera 📸
So smart to put this on 2varish as a "re-run" episode. One of my favorites. I sure wish more of these Pimp my Ride vehicles could be restored!
You can now see this in the 3rd story of the parking garage at the Peterson Museum. I just saw this van collecting dust 1 week ago.
:(
Look how small freddy looked when this was recorded!!
Tavarish & Matt Armstrong should start a 'pimp my ride' show
Why? So that in 20 years their legacy is ruined just like this pathetic van? The next person comes along and jokes that this was Tavarish, can we rebuild it? There is a reason pimp my ride died.
Simp my Ride.
Be safe
I remember that episode of Pimp My Ride and have wondered for many years what became of this van. So cool that YOU are the one to bring it back to life!!!
I first discovered Tavarish with this build. Since then I have watched all his videos. KZhead must have recommended him because a lot of people started watching at that point.
Same here
ALL his videos is crazy lol 😂
Omg jack flying 😂😂
There are sooooo many “KZhead 2016” vibes in this video, it’s frickin GREAT!! 😂💪
I never get tired of seeing this van... My '99 Plymouth Grand Voyager still holds a special place in my heart..
Freddy…you’re a couple years late to making this😭😭
This is like the 3rd or 4th time this has been re-uploaded. Good video worth at least 1 watch,,maybe 2.
I'm glad it wasn't just me getting deja-vu here and it was the original video.
Honestly thought he bought it back again to do a new rebuild
@@burnme5522so did I
I’ve always wanted a professional sounds system like that. Can always dream as never will be able to afford 😂
Send some gifts north. Canada needs love. Everything's so expensive here
That alternator is just basically toast
That Lazer show is terrifying
Still one of my favorite video series to be honest, something timeless about this series, your and Jared’s chemistry works magic 😂❤
I was at the Petersen Automotive Museum and this hunk of Americana was parked in the parking garage on the top floor. It was super dirty too lol
Why did they take it when they didn't want to take care of it.😢
@@tariqueejazkhan pretty sure Freddy left it there 😂
My mans reached waaay back into the archives for this repost. A whole series of these pimp my ride restorations, but actually functional not like how the show did, would be dope. Its crazy that cars from this show would need to be considered restorations nowadays. yeah they were already old cars, fixed up then gutted, but still 20 years went by way too fast.
blast from the past!
Bruh this got me in the lambo fast and furious series 😂❤
This is the very first video i saw from Tavarish when he originally posted it. So happy it was recommended to me
music choice and use is really good, thanks Freddy
I really enjoyed this one, simply because this project was realistic for all home enthusiasts in terms of cost.
that was a lot of memories in one video brilliant TAVARISH👍
I loved when you made this episode. I think I started watching you around this time, and you absolutely killed it bro.
Hoovie ended up giving this to a museum.
You should buy every pimp my ride car ever done and fix them as a series!
Headlights need a uv coating that wore off and let them cloud, like acylic. It'll last 3 or 4 years.
That was nostalgic, typical custom van. 😎😎😎👍👍👍
Nice peace of history- I remember this van- it's super cool
see how many pimp my ride vehicle you can acually find and fix them hahaha boom new build series haha but no that be cool to see more builds like this in the future also like the collabs with Mat
I'm gonna be doing a little of that soon. Still have my wife's car and we got the Malibu done just before hers that needs a redo.
Jack should wear a new t-shirt "jack, the brake tester" 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Leaving the wiper arm up without a blade is wild.
1:30:17 Brake check!! LMAO!! This made me laugh so hard!!
He tried to kill bro.😂😂😂
Great amount of crazy.. 🙂 Remember the episode going on TV in Norway. Memory lane for sure..
Just awesome people doing awesome things🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
We'd love it if you rebuilt or built a lowrider sometime. So cool. Love the videos and keep up the fantastic work❤
I'm a bit sleep deprived and was confused at first cause it felt like I'd seen this before.
we all have.. a few years ago
Whenever contents getting low we going to bring the pimp my ride van out for the third rebuild baby lets goooooo
It was always funny when these two guys worked together.
MTV really need to see this
Didn’t you gift this to Tyler too 😂. This was such a cool story. “Pimp My Ride” used to erk the heck out of me when I was younger 😅
A bit of nostalgia. Freddy changed a lot since. I love him still tho. I hope you are not pushin yourself too far and still enjoy what you do mate.
This series is what brought me to the Tavarish channel, gladly watching it again. Sometimes, you gotta dance with who brung ya.
Best Christmas episode ever.
As we say here in Brazil - “ This is pure 2000’s juice”
Seen a few people break their windshield by leaving the wiper arm up. It has enough spring tension to crack the windshield if the wiper arm releases without the blade. That arm seems to have no tension 😂.
Been there, done that. To make it worse, I'd had the windshield replaced (for unrelated reasons) just a few weeks earlier.
Thanks for putting this all together in one video Tavarish. It was great to rewatch the entire thing as this one one of the most fun videos I think you guys have done. Such a silly van but such a satisfying restoration of it!
Beautiful restoration! The denim upholstery alone made this worth it. After you restore all the Pimp my Ride cars that didn't burn down, you can make all the orange county choppers functional if that is possible.
I really like these creative videos. At the same time I feel it resurrected a generation of media that my age missed out on
You should sign up for Lyft and just pick people up 😂😂😂
I was a little young to have the TV when pimp my ride was on but I saw enough of it to fall in love with cars and to see this today just makes me happy I wish I could find a gem like this
Mad to see how empty the garage is compared to now 🤣👍 love seeing the growth.
Love the retrospective with Ed, Hoovie and Wizard!
They were nutorious for having the belt slide off anytime it was raining. I had one and ended up installing a Gates Grooved belt. Where it was grooved on both sides.
So glad your back on it!!!!
the way you threw Jack in his seat from the brake test, got me laughing like crazy😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
This was legendary glad you put it out again 🎉bravo and I wondered what I missed
Love watching full episodes of the old videos, keep it coming
55:48 Tavarish makes a complete fuel of himself. 😜
fuel
I remember seeing that van for sale on Craigslist about 12 years ago when I lived in Rhode Island.
Freddie, buddy, YOU are my favorite car tuber. I love your approach and your attitude is very refreshing. While you play with stuff i could only dream about, you still figured out a way to be relatable. Looking forward to seeing the p-1 ripping. Keep being you, and stay true to yourself. You are the reason people watch. Take care brother(can't wait to pick up my r8😅🤘)
It’s cool seeing all the places where I live, I’ve bought stuff from that lady at advance auto before.
Are most automotive repair channels doing this 24H repair challenge?
25:34 looks like he’s head banging to the music 😂
Honestly I’m so glad to see one of those cars still out there 💚
Beautiful van! ❤
Omg the break check.... lmfao😅😅😅😅😅😅... dying right now.....
This video never gets old it's awesome motivation .
To hear that number from Wizard is so surprising, not only to hear such a great deal on all that work, but here in Northeast Michigan, you couldnt get away with getting all that done without paying at least somewhere upwards of 4G's
We all know how Hoovie's life story has changed these days.
Normal people don’t have money to restore this so it’s nice content for him to dump money and time into. This car will definitely a childhood car hope they don’t destroy it
Bro he about to give it to Tyler....aka hoovies garage 😂😂😂😂dude does nothing but destroys cars
Even though this is a past build, I would just like to say from the rest of the community thank you! Keep up the amazing work my friend👍!
Highlights for me was the visit with Edd and the Santa suite in relationship to the van as a present 😂🤣🤣
The only thing that could possibly make this shaggin’ wagon any cooler is if you guys do an LS swap and throw an Allison tranny in that thing, and I suppose you might as well bag it too.
Bro looks right at home in that van
Dighton is not Boston bro… Those are straight up fighting words! It’s also rocking a Rhodie plate. I used to see this thing in Warwick
This. Not all of Massachusetts is "Boston". But it's okay, Freddy. You ain't the first, and won't be the last. PS. Hi, Neighbor!
@@MajorOutage what’s up, brother? I’m glad you agree on this also. I think pretty much anyone outside of the New England thinks that Massachusetts is just another name for South Boston and Rhode Island is made up cartoon state named Quahog
Man just loved this upload. So much fun and laughter!
To think that I started following the channel with this video... time flies by!
this is the ultimate ad for Keeps - look at Freddy's hair in this video and a new one - I'd say that stuff works 💪
Over 25 years of autobody work, I have found some crazy stuff in customers cars. All techs have found guns dope and sex toys, but have you ever opened the trunk of a 70’s continental and found it FULL unclean used sex toys? Imagine Texas summer sun beating down on that trunk for who knows how long, cooking that awful mess. The interior was fuzzy zebra fur and the car was metallic pink too. Told the boss I just couldn’t do it because of the smell. He cursed at me, stormed over and yanked open the trunk, that smell hit him and he hurled. He told that pimp wannabe to get lost too. That isn’t even the worst thing I’ve found in a customer car either.
This car is so practical.
Best video yet
I did wonder how many years you would have this van before you touched it finally.. Great to see an old legend get a new life
This is old footage that van is long gone
Watching jack fly forward when freddy slammed on the brakes i lost it. Hope you are alright jack. I remember that van in that episode was a junior in high school and that was my favorite show.
i am so so glad you are fixing up that van .
43:02 "Turn Down For What!?" lmao
Need more of these
You should do another build like this! Maybe a popular family vehicle and make it insane.
Tavarish's cash cow right here
Weirdly, NOT the dumbest ride to find itself in Hoovies Garage
Damm i wanna see more of these pimped restorations
Best segment...the brake check! 😂
I missed this van few years ago some previous video I watch this in Malaysia here
Glad to see this in between the McLaren build
Proper classic vid💪
Ayeee Rhode Island plates ! We made it ! 🎉🎉🎉
