Great job guys. It's a sin to destroy such a piece of engineering. Well done for bringing her back to life.

Finally, a restoration as it should be and how the car was intented to be. Refreshing! Thanks guys. 🎉

Thanks for the shoutout to the shots from me and a friend (the black R8 at 00:25min).

Nice Job!, 21k is cheap. The warning Light is from the Magneticride, you need a delete Kit or just code it out

A Mechanic watching from Nairobi Kenya. Very inspirational.

You mean bring it back and not mod it to look like some kind of transformer? Bravo!

It don't matter what anyone says - the R8 is still a super car - just look, listen, feel and then appreciate. You have done a super job with this mate. Would love to own something like this - but where would I park it. LOL

Howling during the coffee and biscoff moment 🤣🤣🤣

All that hard work and didn’t replace the reg plate bulb! Car looks mint 🎉

Don't do electrolysis method in your damn kitchen. It makes hydrogen gas. See Hindinburg. Duh.

You are doing everything as MA. (Editing, full builds video etc.)

This is insane, a tons of work in just few minutes video , you did 99% which is amazing 😻 but 1% left is you should dry ice blasting it underneath 😔

Great video. Inspires me get my own little project finished. My cars are never as extreme builds as this more of a light refurb. However, it’s still the same buzz of taking something that seems to be written off to a near as new car again.

Them doors almost look like rust coming from inside the cracks which would indicate iron is inside them making the most likely cast in moulds maybe? Cool video as usual, gets you questioning what’s actually happened previously with these small civilisations and their technology’s

Buen video. Saludos desde el salvador.

Chris… important! A couple of comments and it might be worth revisiting the oil filter change… first, if you lift the filter up before you drain the oil the small amount of oil in the filter housing drains out and allows the oil filter to drain so makes less mess…. Bit more importantly, the oil filter has a small plastic nibble on the bottom of it, this is the drain blank that allows the oil to drain from the housing… you need to put the oil filter into the engine first making sure this nipple has been located and push down into the drain hole then put the cap on it hat order… if you do it like you have oil pressure takes ages to build as the filter drains every time you turn the engine off and you loose oil volume as the oil can bypass the oil through this drain instead of going thought the filter and engine. You don’t need to replace the oil or filter, just remove the cap and refit the oil filter to the engine first and it will be ok 👍

I from poland❤. Beatiful project Audi R8.🎉

MAT WILL BE PROUD OF YOU CHRIS

If it is possible to get an R8 for ~20k£ in UK I am there tomorrow how do they come up with that redicules prices? its like 60k+ in Austria 💀

I would clean very bit treat them with rust proof then undercoat and top coat use rattle can as they are underneath but look better when done. Also renew bushes and clean nuts use copper slip etc. give it a full service even change cambelt if it’s needed don’t skimp on it just do it for peace of mind

Really enjoyed this video Chris, at first I thought 1 hour video is a bit long. But you kept the engagement really high throughout with really good content!

The Color is so Massiv!

Yes bro, you’re smashing it. I lone watching your long vids. Don’t stop!!!

I love these full build videos mate .... keep them coming

You should get the side fins behind the doors painted black would look way.better then sillver , less old man spec lol

love these videos help me alot through the tough times

Could you add the link for the detailing stuff (34:30) on this video as well?

I've done the electrolysis trick before. I tried to zinc plate it afterward which kinda worked... As for the household cleaners you skipped one CLR! Ya know that stands for calcium lime and rust remover?

If only they knew all of the sweat and tears you've spent, they would give criss double of what they've offered.

Great job, its my dream car. 💪

Dame that audi is clean 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

32:41 Is that the worlds only Audi P8? :D (I think the badge broke).

Awesome, I love a full build video 🎉

When you had the front luggage area out , you didn't say the battery was in their hiding in the back that area , which is where it is

Great job 👏🏽 👍🏽 👍🏽👍🏽

Ah man you work on some epic projects - where do I find a dirty old R8? 😂

Cheers from Poland!!😂🎉

You should probably get an undercarriage cleaner for a pressure washer if you dont have a ramp to get car up to blast it.

Mate you will go far.forget Matt .be yourself you will do it🎉

Hey man u forgot to fix the license plate light, my OCD couldn’t help it 😢

20k offers is ludicrous!

He forgot to try ketchup

Love the channel. Keep going! Subscribed.

Love your vids bro I’m 13 and my dream is to do what you do

Wish you would have de-rusted those parts...after all this work...

Iv done the derusting test but with pepsi, coca-cola, of brand cola and the traditional coca-cola worked amazingly

This is awesome 💯😎 😂

oh an Audi ripped 8 times😂😂

I love top gear uk and an R8

I discovered both Chris slix and Matt Armstrong’s channel on the same day over a year ago now and I’ve enjoyed watching all there content I’m subscribed to both channels and have full notifications to there videos please please guys let’s help get Chris’s channel up to 200k subscribers he definitely deserves it he has worked hard and gave up his day job for this channel so we could enjoy his passion for cars Like N subscribe

The ACURA NSX was the first daily runnable supercar.

The car looks great but unfortunately underneath it’s a shed! Just looking how it was treated is not funny, ask Ricky from R.E performance he says don’t buy a cheap one and buy the best you can afford otherwise it will bite you in the bum 😳😳😳

34:42 where is the link to the detailing products that you mention here?

good

Number plate light 1 is working

Wide body. It!

Do you still have the car and how much does it cost?

They are for real? 18k for an R8? That's an insult 🥺

Why not just take the car completely apart then reassemble while fixing and cleaning the parts.

you better starts to restore metal element like bars of suspension insted of plastic coners :)

Why not release this at 6pm?

Chris I watched Mark McCanns video on his car collection the other day, and he said you have not bought the car, but he hopes you do. Your video starts with "I've just bought" one of you is not being 100% here. Whats the correct position? Also good channel keep up the good work and content.

When your Mum says, "we've got Verstappen at home", in walks Tom...

That radiator could be recored for not a lot of money

Evaporust is what you seek.

Great video but seriously guys less talking more building

You this was filmed over 2 months ago ? Omg. So long ago

Its an awesome car , why sell it !

you can turn it into r8 off road truck and maybe buy it for 150000

First

My name is Steven Dorsey

Like a utube “restoration”. Wink wink. Take stuff apart clean it. Assemble. So, $39k in parts. It’s worth what now?

unsubbed from mark, did not know he did this. absolutly disgusting behavior to a gated manual too. thank you for doing this

Много текста

£843.45 is a massive difference too £95🤣click bait at its finest🤣

Only bla bla bla bla.....

too much talking

Nice works！ Subscribed
