I bought a completely ruined #audi #r8 from @MarkMcCann64 which he started to turn into his dream off road supercar. But after the arrival of his Lamborghini Huracan Sterrato the R8 project got left abandoned. The car needed the right person to reassemble, restore and resurrect it from its rallied and stripped condition which seemed like fate that it ended up in my hands.

  • 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. šŸŽ‰

    Thanks for the shoutout to the shots from me and a friend (the black R8 at 00:25min).
  • @MBickman
    You mean bring it back and not mod it to look like some kind of transformer? Bravo!
  • @namtech425
    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

    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 whatā€™s actually happened previously with these small civilisations and their technologyā€™s

    Chrisā€¦ important! A couple of comments and it might be worth revisiting the oil filter changeā€¦ 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 messā€¦. 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 housingā€¦ 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 orderā€¦ 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 donā€™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 šŸ‘

    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!
  • @Bobber_Dazzer
    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, itā€™s still the same buzz of taking something that seems to be written off to a near as new car again.
