TAKING DELIVERY of the CHEAPEST MCLAREN EVER SOLD (Here's the Damage...) 

I really appreciate how genuinely thankful you come off about having the opportunity to own something like this, so many other RU-vidrs sound like they feel like they have to say it to not come off like a snob but pretty sure off camera they likely are. I hope you can get this up and running without many more issues. Also I would ask around and find someone with a scanner that can read that car, I bet it could open the lid if you got one

Make sure to smash that like button if you can!! Trying to get the builds back in the algorithm!! 👊🏽

Great video and stay with it. Matt Armstrong started on his own driveway, in cold British weather, with no ramps and doing another full time job. Stay with it #HWBT

I just subscribed only for the fact that you seem so humble and not like a lot of the car content on RU-vid. I'm excited for you so "Let's Go!"

The color on this 650s is just stunning especially when the sun hits it, I hope the engine is all good so you can continue focusing on the front end. Looking forward to the next part!

If I were you, I’d be finding a service manual for the car, so you can start figuring out the wiring issues, maybe see how the engine cover latch could be accessed, and more. A manual is probably not going to be easy (or cheap) to find because McLarens are pretty rare cars, but I think it’d be a good investment in the long run. I know that you want to hear the car run and see if it’ll drive, but take it a small step at a time and you’ll get there. Cool car, you deserve to have it be a part of your fleet!

New subscriber here! I'm excited to follow this build. Little bit of my history. I was born in Woking Surrey England. Less than 1/2 a mile away from my childhood home was the original McLaren workshop. Walked past many times to see and hear the F1 cars. Back then, there was a mushroom farm about 2 miles away. It was called Mizzens farm. It closed down. McLaren bought that farm, flattened it and built the factory it is now. Hence, every time I hear someone say I've got a McLaren, I think, oh a car build on a mushroom farm. Lol.

Ernesto is a champion, and very skilled. Hope you bought him a coffee, or a sandwich for going above and beyond like that. Cheers from Canada.

I felt the same joy when I bought my 1st diesel. Wrecked 04 dodge ram 2500 w/ 24 v Cummins! I get it.... now she is fixed and running, worth it!

Hey inja, great content ! I know Mat Armstrong had to input the vehicle as a Mercedes 600 or something on his autel in order to get it to read and from there he was able to access it. Hope this helps

One of your best videos. Totally riveting from start to sudden ending. Keep at it brother! Oh and given what you spend on these things, get yourself a garage lift.

love from India! We cant wait for you to get this beauty up and running, Part of this journey with you. All the best! Much love

Man I hope this car works out for you. At least you have the money to be able to play at this level now. You have clawed your way up to this level and if it keeps going you might have to look at a bigger shop or whatever it takes to keep up with the projects you're coming up with. Going to be a awesome car if everything works out and you'll get a ton of good content out of it.

Looking forward to seeing it up and running and fixed. Good luck. Liked and subscribed. John

This is the first time I have ever watch this guy's channel and I really like that he seems genuinely appreciative of what he has. Wishing him the best!

I subscribed at the 6 min mark when your humble personality came through, good on ya bro.

Alright, don't let us hangin in here for too long to see the 2nd part. It's so exciting, srsly. Perhaps you'll get it to run somehow

Heck yeah! This is going to be awesome to see as your next build.

I checked if I was subscribed. Yes sir, this is going to be an interesting build.

Good luck on the build project...

Wow, you literally don't know anything about McLarens... Didn't think this one through, did ya'? I'm looking forward to more!

You have to admit even in it's wounded state that is a beautiful looking car, best of luck bringing it back to life.

Beautiful car very beautiful color and the rims look really good on it hopefully all is good with it

Massive respect doing this in your driveway, will be following with great interest. Good luck .

Ive been doing copart rebuilds for a long time and I've got pretty good at spotting these flip rebuilds (doctored up to look better than it is). I saw this one coming as soon as you started describing it. I did currently buy a copart car that was listed as a "runs and drives" that actually wasn't, but it wasn't nearly as bad as this. Good luck😅

New Subscriber Here! Don't be afraid to reach out to Tavarish,,,, He may have many of the spare parts you need just laying around his shop. Good luck to you brother! 👍😉👍

Absolute best wishes Brother!

I'm so stoked for you bro!! That's the dream to find a nice car you love that cheap!

This is not a cheap Mcclaren to me it's a dream car to me and I hope this leads to your hydraulic lift for the cars in the future can't wait to see this engine running 👏🏽

Måste bara säga att du håller en särskild klass när det kommer till att skapa content, verkligen världsklass! 👍

Cheers to the driver Ernesto. Never saw this channel before, but dude you're under 30 and own a McLaren !

A bit of steam should restore the foam in the seats back to original shape and the leather too. The car will look amazing finished that colour is unreal will be so nice in the sunshine

Best of luck with the car I enjoy your content . Best of luck with the rebuild.

Worse comes to worst - call Tavarish. He knows everything about these cars. :D

Love your, "just go for it mentality". You should follow and check out some of the videos from Matt Armstrong related to his rebuilds. I watched the section of your video which covered your purchased of the entire "pyro" mechanism. Apparently you spent a ton for this and it wasn't completely usable in your build. You then commented, you could have purchased the single Mercedes fuse for around $20. Matt Armstrong covered this about a year ago in one of his videos. I'm sure you looking to save where you can.

Just caught your channel man and in typical mad Irish man motor head I’ve now joined your journey, wishing you all the best

Its amazing watching your journey and how you,your projects and this channel has been growing

working on cars like most of us good to see mate

Dropping the MadLove Inja Bruv as always!

I watch MA channel all the time, looking forward to your build… good luck from the UK… oh and by the way great camera work!… and I came across the 1st episode so I get to watch binge watch the build! 🤘

Wow great project! I had a smile on my face when I saw you so happy about the car

Starting from some cheap electric motorcycle I have to say it's fantastic trip done 😊

Fantastic achievement Dan.

What a great video. Looking forward to seeing more. Cheers mate.

Balls of Steel….good luck and smash it💪

My first time to your channel love that your more back to basics

❤

What a humble guy! New sub here from the UK. Can’t wait to see the progress. 👊🏼

Blimey! The finest delivery man ever.

that truck driver was a class act.

Bro, your Positive Vibe is so contagious. Thanks 🙏, and the best wishes for your project. 🇵🇷 🇵🇷 🇵🇷….

Hi, loving the video. Regarding the computer connection to the McLaren, if you enter it as A Mercedes AMG, I can’t remember the exact model, as the engine and wiring look is Mercedes it should find it. I hope that works.

Euro spares in the UK is now breaking and selling McLaren parts. Well worth like taking a look. Car vertical can provide detailed history . Good luck and your risk reaps you the rewards you deserve.

Awesome motor colour is spot on but the white bit on the wheels ruin it for me ad have them off rapid doesn’t need them it’s absolutely stunning credit to you and the team

Awesome car I hope you have the money or skill to fix it up and don't let the zero to 60 get to your head that's what got it in that condition to begin with (meaning just do it right)

Thank you for doing this! Awesome!

Go buy four brand new jack stands ANF lift car off the ground for better inspections !

You have every reason to be happy and prpud for it is not any lrss than tbe other great onrs. Well done.

I'm having a blast watching you. 32:15 I gotta go it's getting good. Hahaha

I wouldn’t clean it lol just discovered ya Chanel will be following this project

I just join you and I to brought a Vehicle from Copart but mind came from a Auto Sales Shop and wish I saw this Three weeks ago because the Photos were not the same that I receive my Porsche. Also I have a few more code alarms. Just would not help me to hire an inspector because the Seller cover up all the Damage like in the photos. Good luck and I will be watching and catching up on your Project videos. Bye. Gory

You should order some quick jacks to use, they’ll lift up the car higher than putting it on the ramps

It is what it is mate. Very good luck with it 👌

Enjoyed your video. British car and electrical problems. Thats an old story. Truly, good luck. I'll keep watching, also pressed all the buttons

Gotta support these Cali builds! Good luck and I’m onboard. Rebuilding a 996 and I just eat videos like this up.

I just subscribed because you mentioned Mat Armstrong xD and a Mclaren always makes me smile!

Hopefully Tavarish will chime in and give you a call.......

I feel u bro.But u have to prepare the expenses.Good luck

Great video....can i just say Matt Armstrong can onlyget 3 cars in his unit and he started in a restaurant car park.....everyone starts somewhere dude.

Driven Daily Exotics 😂😂😂 almost got it! Lol made me chuckle bro

You are now seeing why I have told everyone I know that I want a 67 Mercury Cougar at the same price that you paid for this car ! And the one I am looking at only has 300 actual miles on it. The major plus to the Cougar is that it doesn't have all of the electronic issues !

Wow, Tesla trunk liner really takes the cake! Looks like a fun project

Give Mat Armstrong a follow, would have saved abit with the pyro fuse etc 🙌

Nice project. Looking forward to watching more of this!

That red looks sooooo good.

Hey, even Tavarish starting fixing supercars in his driveway... although I think he eventually got a lift put in, but still. The paint color is gorgeouse I hope who ever paints it can match that. My big fear seeing this is that the engine has unseen damage from the crash. Some of the repairs of I've seen on V-tuned tell me it could look perfectly fine but things like frame rails could be off by tiny amounts that screw up the balance of the car. Just things to think about, not that you don't already have plenty.

I’d develop a relationship with Tavarish, May Armstrong etc. Guys who have built several McLarens. They’ll know some tricks and workarounds for the cars.

Don’t know if you ever finished the vin verification. But most state police post do the verification for 20 bucks. All they check is all the vin numbers on the car and make sure there matching.

Everyone knows the first thing to do is clean the car. Who cares if it runs…it has to look as good as possible!!!! That’s what gives us the energy to then make it run good!!!

Türkiye’deki sigortadan alınan arabalardaki makyajlara işinin aynısında Amerika’da yapıldığını duyunca çok mutlu oldum yalnız değiliz

Congratulations on the 650s! Perfect color

Congrats with this project, can't wait to see you grow into more exotic cars. Don't forget all the other successful dudes started humble with cheap European cars

You could probably strip it for parts and make more than $40,000 or close to getting your money back, it might take you 12/24 month but it wouldn't be a total loss... obviously spending some cash on it and a full refund with maybe sone mods and your own twist on a new spec, that could easily give you a great sports car or double your money. Will be interesting to watch what happens...

I have to admit the Tesla trunk liner fit pretty well. 😂😂😂

Things will work a lot better with 12.5 on the battery. Hook the wires up.

It sure is an amazing colour!

This is gonna be awesome to watch

im a day one subscriber.. proud you brother.. keep going 😏😏😏

Really nice car and a great colour too. Looking fwd to seeing you repair it. Kinda crap the way someone tried to dress it up a bit with the tesla frunk also check airbags too

brother I gotta say I've been watching DAILY DRIVEN EXOTICS and MATT ARMASTRONG since pretty much the beginning and for you to say oh I'm not like other RU-vidrs makes no sense they worked hard to get there and so can you much love just had to get this out all the best!

Dude I’m so happy for u I’m gonna subscribe ❤😊

Sometimes in electronics, the hand switches and buttons are switching ground instead of power. You probably need to to beg, borrow, or steal a service manual for this car. Having a wiring diagram would make chasing gremlins allot easier. Good luck.

I love the style you record its super raw and reminds me of how I do it. Keep it like this the authenticity of it is way more entertaining in my opinion! Good luck on the build this will be a sick one

Congratulations. It's beautiful 😍 👌.

Famous last words "...that's not good" Might as well have said "I've got a bad feeling about this..." What a cliffhanger!

damn youre goign some baller shit! ive been watching tons of matt armstrong videos because its cool to see people bring cars back to life. i'll be watching this!

"I'm frustrated..." Dude, you bought a wrecked McLaren, the frustration has only just begun......

Strikes me, you two are very talented and could fine jobs down there to provide bridge financing to postpone the need of making any draconian decisions. No idea of opportunities might be available to you, but that seems to be something for you to investigate.

Inja, geat stuff mate, looking forward to your journey

Inja really a Macharen? I though was like a car toy , or something from China. This rebuild will be delicious.
