FULL BUILD - RESTORING A RALLIED AUDI R8 

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).

A Mechanic watching from Nairobi Kenya. Very inspirational.

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

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

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

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 👍

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.

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

For me, as a Brazilian, it's insane that a car such as an early R8 could sell for low 20s... here in Brazil, we should be talking about 500k in Brazilian Money, or 16 minimun wage payments vs 450 mininum wage payments (monthly).... Insane.

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

I from poland❤. Beatiful project Audi R8.🎉

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 😔

love these videos help me alot through the tough times

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

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

MAT WILL BE PROUD OF YOU CHRIS

Buen video. Saludos desde el salvador.

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!

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

Dame that audi is clean 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Great job, its my dream car. 💪

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

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

42:47 "to get to that 100 000 before the end of the year". Bro's already smashed it with 258k and it's only august

Solvents like nail polish remover are composed of acetone and/or ethyl acetate, both highly flammable. Instead, choose proven, commercial materials that are designed for the job, eg Evaporust.

Howling during the coffee and biscoff moment 🤣🤣🤣

Awesome, I love a full build video 🎉

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'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?

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

Great job 👏🏽 👍🏽 👍🏽👍🏽

Cheers from Poland!!😂🎉

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

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

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

Bro the ending looks like NEED FOR SPEED

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

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

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

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

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

He forgot to try ketchup

Love the channel. Keep going! Subscribed.

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

20k offers is ludicrous!

I love top gear uk and an R8

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

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 😳😳😳

The same car here in Ireland are currently for sale around 60k to 65k euros Largely because of the massive import tax the government add to all cars Does anyone know if Chris sold this R8?

This is awesome 💯😎 😂

Evaporust is what you seek.

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

oh an Audi ripped 8 times😂😂

good

top

Number plate light 1 is working

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

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

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

Wide body. It!

Don't let McTwat near it again.

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

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

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.

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

Why not release this at 6pm?

Great video but seriously guys less talking more building

18.2k ! Wtf.

That radiator could be recored for not a lot of money

talkiing :90% actual car being fixed :10% ill try to get through this but another video would absolutely kill me

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

Its an awesome car , why sell it !

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

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

My name is Steven Dorsey

First

So many talking

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

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

Много текста

Only bla bla bla bla.....

too much talking
