Budget Lotus Evora - 5 Months in 5 Minutes

[@IcelanderUSer]

Chris will forever to me be that guy who built the lotus evora. Chris achieved something here that we will probably never see again. The perseverance against incredible odds is just something we should all admire. I say lifetime achievement award now. This video series was so well done. I’ll never forget the episode where you got the car running. Or when you figured out the engine probably wasn’t destroyed even though you had found oil in the throttle body. They way you figured out why oil was there, because the car flipped, was brilliant. But the drama and fear of the possibility was really something we could all feel. We were routing for you and your ups and downs were captured beautifully. Your a real deal. You were born to youtube.

[@6thgearup]

We finally get to hear the entire background song uninterrupted! Amazing work and keep it up!

[@aboveaverageautos4447]

Hands down best KZbin video I've seen in months. Congrats on a job well done

[@quentonmillstid850]

Above Average Autos your not watching enough KZbin

[@Ward1706]

It took six months (near enough) to take a completely wrecker-bound vehicle and put it back on the road. Bravo Chris, bravo indeed.

[@martyhandley4456]

Cool, car came out great, as a matter of fact, I did watch all the episodes, waiting for them is the toughest part, keep it up man.....

[@gpaglicci31]

Marty Handley agreed, no excuses are valid enough not to watch anything this channel's put out.

[@soldout1986]

you havent watched project blinky thats why...

[@martyhandley4456]

soldout1986 What do you mean???

[@soldout1986]

search on youtube project blinky, you will not be disappointed

[@Reisi81]

Marty Handley Haha, because Project Binky puts out one episode every 6 months. But you should check it out, they try to fit Celica 2.0T 4wd tech into rotten Mini. Lots of custom fabrication and dry humor.

[@MotionAutoTv]

This is awesome! I plan on doing the same thing when im done with the Supra!

[@heatherdawson1236]

Two amazing cars! I can't wait to see that finished!

[@DB-ub2wt]

MotionAutoTv no you're awesome !!!

[@steezenx7399]

Keith B it's not like I can finish a Supra in 3 months. There's no over night parts from Japan

[@omitence]

THE SUPRA WAS SUPPOSED TO BE DONE IN 2 WEEKS

[@steezenx7399]

Omar Rodriguez usually a car can take up to years to build, you gotta be patient

[@CanadianCarguy247]

It is so crazy how many many hours of work, months upon months can be shortened into a 7 minute video. Amazing seeing the process at such a fast rate. The Evora looks amazing, great job Chris! Now its time for plan FJ!

[@timcassaidy1320]

Damn Chris, this makes it look like you knew what you were doing ;)

[@patrikszabo9906]

LOL

[@exige7227]

Watched every episode... this series had me hooked more than any TV show could have!!!! Thank you so much for all the work you have put into theses videos and the car!!!

[@Phillyswirl123]

Hey man - just wanna let you know that you're seriously an inspiration to a lot of us amateur car enthusiasts. You make mistakes and you are honest with us 100% of the time.

[@sazzal10]

Everyone said you couldn't do it. Way to prove them wrong. Amazing job.

[@vrintex]

Having seen every episode of this series, it's really to see a recap of everything. This video is a fucking trip. Keep up the good work.

[@WhiteCharisma]

I can't believe I haven't seen your channel... I missed out on the entire build and started at Ep 1 today, but then skipped to this. Seriously, hats off to you! This is passion at its finest. I've never seen something so well done by a person who isn't a professional in the field, but has a raw passion for cars and doing it yourself. This is the dream! I spent the last 4 years in school and now that I'm working hard I hope to fund something like this one day. Thanks for sharing!

[@oskilaboski]

This is, by far, the best automotive time lapse I've seen! You are waayyyy more talented than I'd given you credit for. High level of devotion and some sick mechanical skills. Anyone that thumbs downed this video must have clicked it by mistake!

[@blakevella2762]

It looks so good with the black roof and spoiler. Great work!

[@earnestbunbury2103]

Yes, I'm looking to do the same on my e36 hoopty.

[@earnestbunbury2103]

. Scout er... you followin' me? ;-)

[@randyilmer627]

From BRZ's to this, truly incredible to watch this from day one, I can't even fathom someone having the patience to take on a project like this and see it through to what looks like perfection.

[@TheShooter466]

i just started watching your channel with the G35 and then i got hooked while watching the twin turbo mustang. I gotta say, definitely one of the best and most interesting channels on youtube. I dream of doing what you do, but I'm still in school, but someday :). Keep doing what you do!

[@BoogieDownProduction]

Here is what this channel is missing IMO, we should so more of the car once its done....like going around a track or something. In episode 47, I really wanted to see the car more both regular shots and in motion. too much of a tease haha

[@t1m07]

Someone share this on Reddit. This is the kind of thing that goes viral. Absolutely love this build... was here since day 1. Awesome effort Chris, not many people would have the patience and dedication that you have.

[@donkay0621]

The Evora build is what I stumbled upon to find your channel, I have since gone back and spent hours watching your videos. It was cool to see all these steps, it reminded me of all the episodes and how far you have come on the build. Keep up the great builds, great episodes, and have a beer my friend!

[@199724]

Not only do you have a fantastic cool car, but there is no one who deserves it more than you. You have my utmost respect!

[@dennishena1399]

How you guys do this is nothing short of ASTONISHING! Just watching the mind-numbing amount of work. Speechless.

[@jasonhimpson2334]

Brilliant work Chris, i've watched all 47 episodes and seeing it condensed in 5 minutes you can now recall just how much work went into this rebuild. This must be one of the most comprehensive builds you've done so far.

[@limjiashernful]

Mad respect bro. The amount of work, money and time put into restoring this is crazy.

[@yugosquad]

There are alot of "builders" on KZbin, but man your attention for detail is amazing! B is for Build all day every day!

[@shayrubino9862]

This was awesome, I'm proud to say I watched all 48 parts of this series, but this just made me realize I watched a 48 parts series when I too could be doing projects. Thanks for the motivation and showing us you can work a full time job, have a social life, and still get epic projects done.

[@sjohnstone11]

I think this video serves as a true testament to your hard-work and determination. You may receive some hate from a lot of people on the opportunities that you have been given, but I'd say that maybe 1% of the people watching this video could have even come close to the execution of this build in the time frame you performed it in. Truly inspiring stuff!! Congrats man!!

[@christianpohl5787]

I have seen and red a lot of media about cars but this is defineatly one of the most inspiriering things i have ever seen on the internet. I usually never comment on youtube but i crashed my 3,6L 996 yesterday and i'm having a hard time right now. Stumbeling across your video shows that anything can be done with enough effort. You just gained a new subscriber, keep the good work up!

[@alexjohnson2302]

Chris, watching all the episodes in full on the Evora then giving us this amazing time lapse of the severely damaged car to the monster we see in front of us now, it's amazing and I thank you for doing your best for giving us great content, thank you Chris keep on building!

[@RW-td2hz]

Normally dont watch rebuild videos but I'm thinking of getting this car and respect how much work you put into it.

[@nerner67]

Congrats on the build Chris. Time lapse really shows how much work you put into the Evora and the end result is fantastic

[@adjaysont]

Very impressive, I've watched every episode of this build, and all your builds for that matter, this has been my favorite. I'm blown away at what you've managed to accomplish. Congrats man!

[@ARandomGuy13]

This is awesome, great work! I have seen all the episodes but seeing the work in just one video makes you realize the hours of work that went into that car. I am is still new to cars and do not have all the tools for the work, but watching these videos gives me more confidence to work on bigger projects. Thanks and can't wait for more!

[@natman48]

solid job mate. watched all the eps, some twice. love the real nitty gritty, hide no detail way you cover what you do. like MCM but for those who want to see every weld bead, every spanner turn, and as you've made clear before, every annoying little fuckup. keep up the hardcore rebuilds!

[@jonyuribe]

Love the work and dedication this guy puts into his videos and his work 😊 never looking for fast easy way but the right most convenient way at times, started watching your videos when plan b begun and I've been watching ever since 👌🏽 keep up the good work

[@0ttoman]

I think this is one of the few times where taking apart the car took more time then putting it back together again.... great job 👍

[@earnestbunbury2103]

Sounds just like Haggard Garage... but in a bad way.

[@awakennomore]

I was hoping for a time lapse and you didn't disappoint. Great work Chris and friends, I've greatly enjoyed watching this car be resurrected.

[@hasanzhang]

Wow, this is a damn achievement! Really nice that you took us all on the ride, got goosebumps watching this.

[@bobbyross2023]

You are one of my biggest inspiration Chris. Congratulation on the build, the car is gorgeous!!

[@jeepsterdaddy37]

Fitting song! You should definitely be proud of yourself! so glad we got to go along for the ride too. Can't wait for what's next.

[@Johnalfred85]

I watched all the Evora buit... chasing it even so... nice series

[@Taz.B]

Buddy! Mad props to you!!! I'll watch the complete rebuild videos that you posted. But I wanted to comment here and congratulate you on your hard efforts. She's come out beautifully!!

[@AZTrucker]

Congrats on this successful build. Was in my opinion the most challenging build thus far. Look forward to your next build.

[@89ry89]

ive been watching this build from the beginning and i gotta say its still very cool to watch it go from start to finish like this

[@MrPeterson294]

Wow this is so amazing! Thank you for always recording your journey. You are an inspiration!!!! Looks phenomenal

[@UndergroundTrev]

I'm now going to time lapse every project I have! LOL. That was awesome man. I admire your tenacity! To do all that in 5 months is absolutely incredible. Great video.

[@Shimmoda]

Honestly one of the coolest videos I have ever seen on KZbin

[@jasons4209]

I picked up your channel for the plan a finale and out of all the automotive channels I periodically watch, yours is my favorite. Great content, quality work, awesome editing and you seem like a good dude. Keep it up bud, you deserve way more attention for what you do and a lot of people see that

[@Thorge01]

Hey Chris, that time lapse was sweet even if seen all the footage before ;o)

[@earnestbunbury2103]

It'd be sweeter with the Benny Hill theme playing... lol

[@Thorge01]

lol, yeah ;o)

[@andrakon6]

This is F***ing INSANE!! man you are dedicated and now you have a beautiful car that not only do so many people like, but it must be incredibly special to you! Thanks for this awesome compilation

[@markhoward9549]

Awesome video. I have watched every episode and still really enjoyed that. Every build from now on should have one.

[@7ETRNL]

great video! I believe all your build should have a short film like this one. Especially for people like me who watch it at work.

[@time2brn345]

Awesome build. I've watched every episode and truly enjoyed every minute of it. Great idea with the time lapse video at the end. Keep up the great work.

[@knexfreak32]

After discovering this I believe at episode 7 I have watched every single video on this build. I have to say it was a very ambitious build but it paid off in the end. Congrats man!

[@MrPreda1]

Hats off for the extreme efforts put into making this. A true mechanic

[@Jumah]

I've seen every episode but even then (after seeing the end result) I totally forgot you repainted the car. You did an amazing job!

[@countryboydollars9556]

Highly doubt you'll read this but the build series has been awesome love your work and how it turned out its amazing what time and dedication can do love the car man

[@BruceMunro351]

Awesome outcome, great car, fantastic "make it up as you go along" skills, a credit to you, your friends and your sponsors.

[@coatedsiren0136]

AMAZING JOB on A. The time lapse but the most important thing is the car it turned out amazing!

[@fredhassenDogtraining]

That's amazing! I can't even plug in a lightbulb.

[@BradenNicholson]

screw in*

[@h3ll5pawn71]

Car looks great, tranformation from wreck to spot on. Great work and fantastic series of films.

[@superskarmory3000]

This is really what its all about. Bringing cars back to life. Great content, I hope to reach you soon for advice on buying flood damaged cars from TX.

[@MidnightMustang]

Wow. I haven't seen the Evora series, but man, that is just amazing to see a car be brought back to life.

[@danterusso6354]

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaay.too much talent for one guy to have!! Nicely done, sir. This is truly impressive.

[@BenBazan]

This was an awesome build man! Loved seeing how you took it from destruction to riding clean. Looking forward to the FJ

[@Th3R4junC4jun]

thank you for having a car channel that actually builds and isn't just a vlog about cars

[@lasse2071]

Goosebumps bro! I subscribed when I watched the first Lotus episode! It has been a great journey.

[@wayneso89]

Awesome build! Binged watched the whole series in a week!

[@SurlyMike]

Man that is awesome. Even having watched the whole build series, it's hard to fathom how much time was put into it. It's got to be in the hundreds of man hours if you include this seven and a half minutes, let alone the time for video production. Cheers!

[@dbeckMSP]

By far my favorite build of yours so far. It's so cool what you've been able to do to such a mangled car. Keep up the awesome work!

[@brandonchism6960]

Dude, you just got another subscriber today. The amount of work and ingenuity you put into this build is epic and I look forward to watching you do your next project. In the meantime, I have some catching up to do on your videos.

[@AUTOHAVENmedia]

This is the most impressive thing I have seen all year. In awe right now. Keep up the awesome content man, SO awesome!

[@therealsanta1429]

this made it look easy! waited for every single episode to come out. awesome vids and all the hard work definetly paid off!

[@goskidmark]

Great video. Thank you for the time and extra effort it takes to upload to KZbin. I like when you do these "timelapse with a soundtrack" videos. I may do one when I get home from deployment with my E30.

[@chris_peugeot_gti]

great job! i like that you changed broken chassis parts and not straighten them

[@BrokenStatues7]

This is damn near the most insane thing I have ever seen in my life props to you man

[@megatafiq8741]

I think you can now work at Lotus's factory

[@Nick_Tank]

he's qualified like Trump is for president, but Chris obviously has more experience!! haha LOTUS HIRE CHRIS!!

[@adryanlaksana]

Megat Afiq yeah he got email from Lotus if his intrest to work with them or nah

[@WE_OF_THE_NOV]

...insufficient funds...get used to seeing that when you cash your check...poor Lotus :'(

[@gabrielpayan5971]

Adryan Laksana really?

[@purpleashole1752]

Nick Tank why do people get so fucking but hurt about trump

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Awesome build man! I have an Evora and absolutely love it!

[@heiden2413]

Wow... time flies... I still remember watching very first video of this build.. keep up dear fella oregonian of mine! :-)

[@RelaxedMuscule]

Amazing work bro! So thankful you let me come along on this ride with you. Keep up the good work! Can't wait to see what's next.

[@NevErSn0w]

Proud to say, i've seen every video and each within 2 hours of their release :D Great work mate!

[@RobbieD.]

That was really awesome to watch and so well put all together with lekka tunes. well done on the build. Keep up the great work Chris

[@KCRickyT]

Ran across this ride yesterday parked just off Killingsworth.....SICK!!!! Scubaru that was parked behind was pretty sweet as well.

[@宇宙の彼方]

Splendid. I respect you who can bring back life to a car.

[@ianhenderson3491]

haha. The paint gun part made me nauseous. congradulations man you should be really proud

[@Captaindan7141]

It looks like he was headbanging while painting haha

[@AndriusJankauskasJankiz]

Simply amazing! Watching it episode by episode I lost track of all of the hard work that went into this car. This really put it into perspective. Many hours, lots of dedication and tedious labor but the end result simply checks all the right boxes. Well done Chris, well done! Drive the wheels off of this sucker (:

[@FarReachFR]

Chris, you have my respect on this build. You seriously B-Built that thing.

[@nomercyriding]

Man, never sell this thing. You put so much work into it. Great job.

[@Moon_Quake]

So sick!! Ive seen every episode but seeing it all together like that was amazing!

[@axelieve]

Chris man this is amazing. They should feature you on Top Gear.

[@earnestbunbury2103]

Chris should feature Top Gear on his show... he actually does stuff.

[@treyhornick581]

Glad I was here for all of it, can't wait to see what happens in the next project.

[@KalvinMalli]

Thats awesome dude! Killer job!!

[@rollintwincam]

It's been an amazing journey. Thank you Chris

[@psedach]

You're a wizard. This is one of the most impressive things I've seen on youtube.

[@SheWantsTheDeezy]

Absolutely awesome! I've watched every episode of this build and you've inspired me to start filming myself working on my truck and I'm really enjoying doing it! Great work man!

[@ruined_lee88-77]

awesome vid, should do one of these after every completed build from now on!

[@CounterNic]

I am digging the black parts on the front bumper! Can't wait to see your DIY rear splitter.

[@stephencain3467]

[@TheMarciano07]
