Hey @arcane , @Joe Hoffman, others - having been working on a salvage restore of a Gen 1 R1S for a few months I thought I'd weigh in. Definitely start with eBay- the amount of parts there grows every day. Right this moment it looks like eBay only has broken bumper/fascia wiring harnesses BUT...

I've bought a headlight off eBay and installed it. It was pretty easy. LMK if you need directions.

I love this. I'm definitely going to do the same.

Hey David! I admire your efforts- I'm about 80% done with restoring a Copart Rivian R1S myself. It's a lot of fun but can be frustrating at times. @Rivianero is right: the truck can refuse to move for a wide range of reasons. Who told you it wouldn't shift and how did they word it? Did you...

I've gotten access to pretty much everything and have not found pictures of any clamps :(

Ha, I think that's me on the other thread leading the charge for the service manual. I've got a few bites so far, maybe not enough to get the price down enough yet. You're right- frame work is very challenging. Normal bends, sway, can all be done fairly easily by most frame shops...

Unfortunately those are not shown in the partner portal. I'm not yet sure if they sell their own clamps to be used with existing frame machines.

I tried, extensively, to negotiate a trial access to their manual with no luck. They were quite firm. I think rounding up enough people to make the chip-in price worth it is the way to go.

Hey folks! Working on a salvaged R1S outside of normal warranty. I am working with a non-Rivian-certified shop that would like to know the frame connection points and what the clamps look like. I've heard EVO3 clamps work with the car-o-liner system, but no idea what it looks like or where it...

Hi @Groovian, thank you for replying to this. I haven't gotten to the hydraulics yet but it's high on my short list of things to fix. I was going to follow Hollywood Mechanics' video as well but wasn't sure if I had the proper vacuum. I have one that I bought for vacuuming AC lines (on other...

Hey folks- This absolutely does not address the very valid concerns brought up in this thread but it seems like they are starting to making things a smidge easier. I just got free access to their business/partner portal with all of their parts. It did required that I had an EIN/Tax ID (which...

I think we should get a bunch of folks together and split cost of the service manual. Anyone with me?

Let's get some folks together and split the cost for a manual. I know there are other DIY'ers out there. Anyone with me?

Thank you @Groshyubcha, this was super helpful! That the technician included all the terminology and part numbers really comes in handy. I doubt I've ever had a mechanic write such a thorough receipt.

Hey @alexandr.dolgoulsky and @Groshyubcha what did you both end up doing? I chose to buy a totaled 2023 R1s as a fix-up project and am genuinely enjoying it. I have the same leak that stems from a frontend collision (the same that totaled the car for the previous owner). It didn't start...

Do you know where I could buy this battery for a DIY replacement? Online, local, or wherever.
