Seeing that engine turn over by hand is such a relief and the cross hatch looks amazing! Now staring at the electric motor as you do this work makes me wonder how sealed it is…

This is seriously insane dude. Props for even thinking about taking this on.

I was genuinely waiting to see a fish staring back at you when using the boroscope 😂 good luck dude, excited to see your progress on this!

Dude is unbelievably talented and fearless, taking apart a P1 like it's nothing. Love this channel!

We will never get another opportunity to see a P1 in this much detail. Even though it’s full of sand and stuff, just seeing everything taken apart on this car is awesome. I know it’s a very big project but bring back a P1 is truly amazing. I’m excited to watch and see what happens.

As a McLaren tech seen Tavarish put all this effort on fixing this car is a joy to see. I count the days to watch the next episode just to see what other surprises the car will show.

It's crazy that Freddie took on a project that even Ed Bolian said "NAH, I'm good". Glad to see the progress team!

I just subscribed to your channel and I've been watching all the videos you've made . I just watched the video about you rebuilding and getting Eric his second love back in his life. Being 70 years old and having cancer twice in the last 40 years an now fighting cancer once more. This time it's terminal but I've managed to stick around with weekly treatments for over 6 years. The video of Eric's fiancee really hit home and I must admit had me in tears more then once. The end had me in tears of joy and I just wanted to tell you what a special man you are and this world could use more people like you. I don't usually stroke someone's ego but you sir deserve all my respect . You are one good person and I'm so glad I found your channel. The channel not only was very entertaining but it gave me hope that there are good people left in our world. God bless you and may he cover you with his grace. I'm looking forward to watch more of your videos. Keep up the good deeds and never change the type of person you are. You have a special gift that the good lord has given you. Keep up the good deeds .

Mate you have no idea how much I've been dreaming about Part 2!

This is going to be the BEST series on KZfaq for sure

This seemed crazy when you first announced it bro, but now i think you are genuinely certifiable! Respect for tackling the project; I don't think there are many if any others who would take it on but all it takes in life for greatness sometimes is one crazy bastard!

Hi Tavarish, the way you’ve helped Mat with his GT3 is admirable. The P1 is simply off the scale as far as any rebuild project. I hope you get a response from Frank and there are some unique features you can include in your rebuild. Im in the UK, but if I was local I’d volunteer time to help and learn … subscribed from the first episode … rgds, Paul

This is hands down the single best KZfaq rebuild series to date. I hope you get all the views and sponsor dollars on this series to make things like this worth doing more!

This project absolutely deserves the views you're getting. I hope we offset some of those costs for you, friend. I'm here for it. 👏👏

10:31 The new lifeform: Take me to your leader.

Imo one of the best things about Tavarish rebuilding these types of cars is that we get to see parts and engineering decisions that were made that otherwise we’d NEVER get to see unless we own or work on these types of cars!! Getting this deep dive into the engineering of the P1 is literally unparalleled!!! Some of the best (if not THE best) rebuilding videos/channels on the entire internet!!! I’ve always loved McLarens and LOVED the rebuild of the 675LT so to see all this on one of my dream cars (the P1) is just FANTASTIC!!!!

Tavarish out here doing what no one else was brave enough to do lmaooo Edit:ty for 2k likes!

Definitely should tear the motor down to the short block and have a machine shop clean it while it is apart. All that stuff in the cylinders don’t play nice with piston rings. You’d also be able to clean the rods because from the look of the oil(water) that came out they probably could use a clean. Bare minimum you’ll have to pull the oil pan.

2.1 million views today but only 100,000 likes ??? Why don't you people hit "LIKE" on these videos ? Come on , play the game. Mr Freddie wants your support to rebuild this rebuild we all want to see . . . Thanks.

Freddie packing a nice set of tatas 😂😂

I love how no matter what happens he keeps laughing and smiling. Way to roll with punches man.

Fastest click in my life

i believe in you tavarish, one day you will drive your own P1 with that history and you will be proud of it. maybe all the other youtubers will donate to help you finish this project. its by the way a pleasure to see shmee visiting you. good luck, keep going! greets from munich

This post-flood P1 is in absolute nightmare condition. Successfully repairing it will require incredible patience, perseverance, and unwavering/unconditional love for the car - which is why Tavarish is probably the only man on the planet for the job!

Turbos "those are gonna be rusted, those are gonna be shot, i think we're gonna need to rebuild them" Has never been said with so much positivity on a $1M car. Tavarish, you have the best attitude for this kinda thing. Keep being yourself champion, you got this, we are all behind you!

Looking fresh with the haircut 💈

Hell yeah brother! That's a major relief to see the engine turned by hand and there being zero rust inside of the engine.

You probably had a frozen accessory drive when you first tried to turn it over. Them bearings don't love salt water. Really hope this engine is alright for you!

Ive genuinely never ever wanted something to work out so much for someone Ive never ever met. Freddie I wish you all the luck in the world with this project and I hope it comes in better than new and under budget. Keep up the great content. All the best!

I've cleaned a lot of rotary presses (pressing pills from powder). You don't use compressed air to the very last, because you will spread powder (in this case sand) everywhere, and everything that previously was clean is now dirty. Including those previously pristine throttle bodies. Use a vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment instead. Then the compressed air.

Good day tavarish you have alot of patience love how you work with Mat rebuilding the Porsche a guy you never met before he came to America it shows you have a good heart.

She's a squirter 😂 OMG! I'm sure that I look like a crazy person to the people stuck in afternoon freeway traffic with me. Laughing uncontrollably. Thank you so much Tavarish!

Can't wait for part 3 already. This rebuild is so exciting

Hey, my man. A) don't go cheap. Pull the engine. Rebuild everything. B) you are going to have to hunt down every wiring connection. That much flood damage, there are going to be phantom electrical problems everywhere.

It’s actually surprising how little damage there is. It was a good floater!

I never thought I'd see the inside of a P1 engine with swamp mould. Thank you Tavarish for taking us on this insane journey!!

I could of watched this for hours. Wishing you and team all the luck for the rest of the project and can't wait for episode 3!

I love you for doing man! The p1 has been my favorite car since it came out, I was 12 back then. Now 22 with a better understanding of cars, getting to see it taken apart like this is really a dream come true

Anyone else = rip the engine back to the bare block, piston rings, take the pistons out, remove all turbos, completely destrip the chambers & rebuild (and that's before the electrics). Tavarish = let's get a camera in the inlet manifold, Any water? We good? Cool, let's fire this baby up 😂😂

During the video I really felt sorry for you, then I remembered you actually have a P1 and that you are a car magician with a lot of friends and helpers. You will succeed, of that I am 100% sure! Best regards from Norway! 😊

Tavarish and LegitStreetCars both working on their McLarens at the same time = tons of content for me to watch. Love it.

Freddie and Matt are the reason why youtube is a good place to be right now !

We had a major flood back in '96. My dirt bikes were completely under water. After the flood my first instinct was to drain the water in them. My father in law said, don't drain them until your ready to start them. They won't rust as long as the engines are full of water. Best advice ever. Had I drained them and let them set they would have rusted solid. When I had time, I drained them and refilled them with oil and started and ran them until the heat dried them out.

Great series so far. Looking forward to the build :)

This is gonna be one of the best car projects on KZfaq, hands down.

I like to imagine someone 100 years in the future acquiring parts from three P1s and not knowing what to do with them until they stumble across your videos. With the help of your videos they are able to combine the parts into one working P1, which they then drive to a museum. IN SPACE! Because it's 100 years in the future.

You'll want to invest in a soda blaster, a tip on the electronics, immersion in pure alcohol, then immerse the electronics in pure alcohol.

This guys positive outlook is infectious! Good luck with the build

your level of patience working through these issues is unparalleled.

This is my first look at your channel. Every once in a long while you come across something on KZfaq that truly surprises you. This is one of those times. To spend so much money and time on what can turn out to be a total failure is incomprehensible to me. It is also a little fascinating. My only thought is that, before KZfaq, no one would ever attempt such a thing. But KZfaq makes this a potentially profitable effort. Your positive attitude over something that seems unsurmountable makes the video worth watching.

The cleaning b-roll part is the most satisfying thing.

Love these videos bro

This is probably the best automotive series on YT right now. So proud of you dude. And so excited for whats to come! Way to go man!

I am so all in on this project. It's probably going to be quite a long journey, and that totally cool. Incredible undertaking here and yeah, this is something I need to watch! Wishing Tavarish the best!

The engine turning is a massive win. Regardless, this car is going to take a community to fix. Hopefully some true specialists get on board to lend a hand, because those electronics are going to be a monumental challenge to sort out.

This is the only video I can think of that I click description ad links because I’m trying to help my boy pay for his car. Been here since 40k when the Gallardo project first dropped.

Why not drop the engine take it apart and clean it by hand. I know it sounds like a lot of work, but this car is worth alot of money

I don't know almost anything about car parts and how they work, but I believe that I will learn a lot watching this serial, thank you for doing this

13:18 fresh haircut :)

For one, I'm so glad you got this project. Also, I appreciate you sharing this journey. We are learning so much about the P1, and it's amazing!

this series is skyrocketing the views!! keep it up Freddy!!! crushing it

Ran across your site the other day and have to say i really enjoy it. Keep the P1 coming. Don't rush and take short cuts. You have this old man looking forward to something for the first time in a lond while.

I really enjoyed watching the restoration! My school day's were in the 70s. I had a Honda CB125 back in 78. Enlisted in the Marines during my senior year 79. Great memories and a few bikes after my discharge in 82. New subscriber. 😎✌🏽

Would love an hour long video with the P1

I would've torn the engine down. No amount of flushing will get the rubbish out. Not to mention the crank and bearings and such is no doubt rusted to s by now.

Another great video. I'm learning new motor repair terms every minute! The car's a "squirter" 🤣🤣. Degunkifying! Brilliant 🤣🤣

I think this is one of the best things u have done for this channel. Its gonna get a lot of eyes on this build and hopfully help build this thing up even higher

The amount of time you take to explain what you’re doing is invaluable. Not to mention the time it takes to set up a production to effectively communicate to an audience. It would be easier and faster to just work on your cars without the extra effort. THANKYOU for doing what you love and sharing it. It is an inspiration to everyone. Peace ✌🏽.

i love this type of videos man i will support you with likes and comments on every video and watching them all of them all away to the end great job 👏

This is by far the most interesting content I've seen to date. Freddie, i wish you the best on this endearment for this vehicle. Cheering for you on this project!!!!!

I genuinely enjoy your videos man

Who needs sleep when you have Tavarish

Wow what a project, can’t wait to see if the engine is good!

Loving the content Freddy, keep up the good work! Always loved your videos and since the pivot at the beginning of the year, I'm still finding myself waiting for the next part. Thank you Freddy for all you do! I cant wait to see this project in its final form! Its gonna be a long road, but we're all here for it!

Freddy hands down you are the guy with the biggest balls on youtube this year. Respect man i cant wait to see whats next, i genuinely wish you the best luck!!

TAVARISH, this may sound odd, but I absolutely love when you post videos. It's mainly because I know you're STILL GETTING IT IN, and more importantly, you're okay. I like seeing you okay. Makes me feel like I should be okay as well

I love seeing tavarish’s projects come apart. And go back together better than before!

You and mat armstrong should race with the p1 and gt3 when you are done

Keeping it all crossed you continue to have this level of 'good' as you dive deeper into this build. Can't wait for the next episode.

I’m excited for you Tavarish. I know you will get it looking and running perfect again!

I didn’t know that the P1 came with clear engine oil💀

Just came across your channel and I'm very entertained and excited to watch this P1 come totally to life, all the best, cheers

I have been subbed to Shmee 150 for ages but when this popped up on his channel a few weeks back I had to subscribe. It's an amazing project and I am completely hooked to see how it turns out. We are never going to get another chance to see a P1 stripped bare like this, just epic. Good luck with the build dude hope you don't run into too many expensive fixes.

I really hope someone from Mclaren is watching this (Ron Dennis you out there) and offers some assistance for such a worthy cause.

The fact that you’re trying to give this car a change of having life again is amazing. Can’t wait.

It's pretty impressive how well everything has been sealed up. Less horror in the cylinders than I expected too considering it sat under salt water for however many hours and then sat in a garage without being cleaned for 3 months. Here's hoping the hard stuff isn't bad though. Really could use a wash still though.

Love seeing the content and journey over the years you’ve gone through!

I've waited what feels like an eternity for this video. I'm happy so see that this beautiful piece of machinery will get to breath again.

Save that water and sell it as p1 bath water 😂

I would have started with a vacuum and tried to get a portable lift to do the cleaning outside. What a project.

Well i believe if this works, Tavarish is going to go down in history as the only man that brought back from the dead a McLaren p1.

More more more

thank you for the episode tavarish, been going through a lot lately but your vid made me forgot about my problems for a bit.

Freddy, this was such a satisfying video! I know it takes so much time to rebuild these cars, but it was amazing to see this one completed in one episode and also, so awesome to see the 675 back in action! I'm more pumped about that than anything, lol. Congratulations my friend!

McLaren P1 teardown: the ultimate unboxing video. 😂 Seriously, though, Tavarish, your dedication and skill are next level! Can't wait to see this beauty rise like a phoenix from the floodwaters! 🙌💯

This is amazing no one on the internet is doing this good for u Freddie wish u all the best

The level of detail we are seeing in this P1 will never be seen again. Hooked on this series, Tavarish!

Your knowledge on all of this is very impressive I saw this car on instagram and now seeing these videos is really fun to watch

You need to put up a dust curtain around this vehicle to prevent your other cars in the shop from getting this find sand and crud on them.

This has catapulted you straight into legend status for me. Awesome stuff!
