Hey Alex, you have yourself a new sub. Now after watching this video on your DB9 (what a worthy car to get back on the road) and this being my first comment and really not wanting to offend. With the expensive cars you have chosen to work on worth thousands, I’m wondering why on earth you have not got 1 a decent jump pack 2 a borescope 3 a huge breaker bar All these basic tools would help you greatly. You have mentioned that you found no oil coming out of the sump and if there was water in your engine you would have seen it exiting before the oil. I do hope that you check again for the engine to be totally ceased before going through the trouble of yanking it out. Good luck and will watch all of your other videos too. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

The 'plastic' on the wheels is just the powdercoat lacquer. Rattle canning an Aston makes me sad. That front end needs a pro job and a blend with proper paint. The clear you get in rattle cans is invariably of poor quality and does not stand up to weathering. Well done on the project though.

That’s possibly the worst paint job I’ve ever seen 😂😂

I can never understand if you’re lucky enough to own a half decent car why you don’t get it repaired professionally 😂😂

Just found your channel... great content...

Less talking more doing please! 👍👍

You may want to replace your brake calliper bolts. They are stretch bolts that are onetime use .

Looking at the water marks and front end scuffs my guess would be it was parked in a large garage which flooded with some current. The weight of the engine would have submerged the front end whilst the back end floated. The scuffing could then occur as the water pushed the semi-floating car around.

Parts car or strip whole car and start rebuild.

Well done Alex. I know it’s a chunk of money but I would have got a body shop to do the paint work. You have done amazing 😊

congratulations my friend you save a piece of art thank you for your efforts have a wonderful day best of regards 🎉

Or the cylinder rings have rusted to the block

Definitely would have wd40 all of them before I even tried the key

You’re the new ED just not as tall

Great job & great content Alex. 😊

Great video Alex. Well done on the completion of the car. It’s been a long time coming. At times I bet you thought the end would never be in sight but looking back now imagine the amount of things you’ve learnt. Well done buddy 🙌🙌🙌

Looks fantastic - I’d be proud

You should be so chuffed to have done that, what a job and you have saved a wonderful car You should get yourself a pint and look back on a splendid job

Awesome!

Hi pal are you selling it? Let me know pls.

They’re Diamond Cut, basically the alloy wheel is lacquered straight onto the aluminium. Pretty sure of that, so, you can take them to a wheel specialist who does that, or pick a colour you like, and get them powder coated.

Congratulations 😊😊

Absolutely nuts you did an engine swap. Kudos. This ain’t Gran Turismo, boi 💪🏼

Friend not totally different there is always a fight and challenge in everything and thank you for every content you are making alot of effort and time. May his soul rest in peace he is proud of you best regards

Well done, did you ever consider buying a TT bike or will you upgrade road bike vs buy TT bike in the future?…biggest dilemma most seem to consider.

Genuinley inspiring. Well done mate ❤

Awesome video bro ❤

Alex. Firstly may I say as a father myself your dad would be beaming with pride to see what you have achieved in such a short time. I also had a loss. I lost my 30 year old daughter to bowel cancer on 26/3/2020 and four years is nowhere near enough time to get over an incredible loss like we have. When you put the pictures up of you and your dad and your dad holding the dog I actually cried because I know the pain you have felt. Both of my parents have passed and I was closest to my mum but I cracked up when my dad passed and I’ve never known why. I really do wish I was fit enough to be able to do something like that alongside you ❤️ I had a magnet fishing collaboration April 2023 and I managed with raffles and donations from amazing people we achieved £4K. I will speak for your dad and say I am amazingly proud of you fella ❤

Love you mate ❤

Really hope you enjoy the video, a bit different to my usual content! If it's no trouble to you, and you're in a position to donate, you can do so by following this link: www.givewheel.com/fundraising/2739/ironman-703-valencia-triathlon/ At the time of writing, we're on £3,154 - if we can get that figure to £4,000, Laurence and I will sign up to a full Ironman and bring you along!

Proud of you Al xxx

awaiting that of course, have a good and safe drive best regards

When you apply the handbrake on a db9, dont touch the button. Just pull the leaver up at let it go. The light on the dash will tell you the handbrake is on. With the power of a V12 you could happily drive with the brake on and no realise. To release, pull up the handbrake and once at the top of its travel, press the button and put the leaver back down. The light will go off and the brake will have released.

Did you sell ? Where’s the final video with price breakdown ? 😊

Congratulations!

Great job friend, you no longer a regular person working on a car doing that makes you a professional, best of luck.

As a DB9 owner I can assure you of one thing, when you change all your plugs, change all your coil packs, because the time and effort + parts and cost to change one coil pack, its cheaper in the long run to change them all. Great job BTW of being to put that engine back together.

What an epic job. 👏 well done. I have just brought a db9 back in Feb. I've had a few little jobs to do on mine. Your videos have really given me a good insight in to the workings underneath a db9. Thank you. 😊

I do enjoy your projects…..i just wish you didn’t share a name with an actor/MURDERER….. it startles me each time i see a notice of a new post…..

Hi Alex, so close to the finish line. It’s good to show the things that go wrong, good luck 😊

Nice job Alex looks good, but you will be spending a lot of time in petrol stations.

Well done mate good to see another Aston back on the road. Good luck with the Iron Man.

Hi Alex, it will be well worth putting glass repair treatment on that crack to stop it going anywhere, you’ve done a brilliant job

What an amazing job Alex. It not only sounds good but looks good. And to think you knew nothing about cars and you’ve put a 6L V12 in an Aston mate I mean wow. I’ve repaired hundreds of cars in the last 39 years and I would question if I could do that or not. You’re amazing Alex. Good luck at the Iron Man buddy. I’m 💯 certain your dad would be immensely proud of you ❤️

So much respect for you mate congratulations

Good job buddy!🤘
