You should actually say what the body shop did at the back? Be transparent

[@fatherandsonsferrarirescue]

ya need some mech saying Just fix'n the mickey dent. or something like that if ya do I want one!! Oh ya hello from Canada eh!!

[@fatherandsonsferrarirescue]

@@utubwatching ya but hey we all mess up I for one have destroyed a few things on our Ferrari rebuild ….it sucks big time but hey we learn. I like seeing the big creators document their mess ups makes it real👍👍

[@glennbeattie3437]

24:18 @Chris_Slix Love the videos Chris, off topic but where did you get your whippets jacket from 😅?

[@aapie2610]

@chris_slix when comes your new episode?

[@SavingSalvage]

Glad you appreciated my shaft being in great working order.

[@JasonThompson-t7x]

Atleast you can say your shaft is 2 inch's bigger than Chris's 😂

[@maslosky]

Dean as usual being the GOAT of VAG group 💪 give this man some subs people 🤌

[@lewiscannon8213]

Dean can't remember you having a (Saloon) rs3 ?

[@SavingSalvage]

@@lewiscannon8213 the prop on the sportback and saloon are the same bud 👌🏼

[@lewiscannon8213]

@SavingSalvage Mate the Saloon Has a 69mm longer wheel base then the Sportback .

[@kimnicebutsing163]

I have a facelift S3 saloon, stage 3 on Littco turbo. Destroyed the prop shaft on the first drive. I had the same problem with replacement/price, time, etc. I found a company called Propshaft Services near Heathrow, who rebuilt and upgraded mine in 24 hours. They cut and reweld new, thicker sleaves and weld in an aggressive coupling instead of the bearing. The same prop is being run on a 1000bhp RS3 drag car near them with no problem whatsoever. Highly recommend reaching out to them depending on how good your ebay upgraded one is. Apparently, they're Tiguan props with copper circlip that give up easy. Taking out incorrectly can destroy the bearing as well. There was a revision/recall (different letter on end of part number), but some later cars didn't get the revised prop.

[@ThOoMii013]

This is why I really appreciate chris and his team. They do not shy away from critical comments. And as expected they got it fixed. But had the experience of learning themselves! Keep this up bro and great things will happen!

[@julianowens4071]

Great effort,I read a lot of the comments from the previous video- people are brutal but a lot of those people will tell you how it should be done but can’t do it or are too lazy to have a go, at the end of the day your videos are for our enjoyment and I love them for that, keep going, looking forward to the next one👍

[@BaileyMxX]

The comments were fair though. The fact there was so many of them and that he's addressed them proves it. Deep down he knows it was rushed initially and the quality was impacted due to that

[@ThabisoFuze]

Bro you’re doing an amazing job considering the fact that you’re not a pro & are still learning in a lot of stuff. People will always act like they know it all behind the keyboard but in all honesty they wouldn’t achieve half the stuff you’ve achieved. Keep grinding. Much love from South Africa 🇿🇦 🤝

[@joe_ferreira]

They could also take classes to become certified to shut up the haters.

[@BaileyMxX]

Fair play to you for listening to the comments and not ignoring/blocking or shying away from them you took them onboard and addressed them

[@Craig-c5e]

Mickey smacks the prop shaft with a sledge hammer and then says they are so fragile! 😂

[@jmweatherill]

He's a liability

[@kramersurfer5280]

love the fact that all these guys know each other and help each other out.Saving salvage ,matt armstrong..love it

[@mattbarnes7526]

Dean is such a legend man, honestly.

[@penfold1007]

So good to see all you KZbin guys working together to fix the cars. Ive been wathching Eddie and his dad at FixingSalvage and saw you've helped him out with the Alfa Romeo.. Keep up the excellent videos.

[@fatherandsonsferrarirescue]

Amazing to see folks working together up in Canada we are all alone working on the Ferrari 458. Im hoping one day ill find a group to work with

[@TONYYNINJA]

Chris, the prop can be fixed, you have to open it up and refit the bearings. It´s not easy but it´s doable. I rebuilt a 2015 Passat 4 motion that had an accident and the prop was like yours. they go in on impact so that it isn´t ruined. You have to take off the rubber protector and carefully put it back together. Funny thing about mine, I had it all done and when moving it around it went back in again. There is a specific tool that holds one section to the other so that it doesn´t move back and forth to avoid it going in. live and learn 😄😄

[@Hegsontoast95]

It would be nice to have seen where you went wrong on the repairs. But no one gets it right first time 👏🏻

[@oliverpitt7854]

£1000 for the interior I suspect this was purchased from Birmingham and the original owner didn’t give his consent 😂😂

[@DK-wj3bf]

blame you British police 🤣🤣🤣

[@Xavesteve2330jks2]

Still at least Chris isn't intent on severely hurting himself like other tubers do lately ffs. Nice work Chris 👏

[@nahmed92]

They're not very expensive. Loads around ebay/facebook for 11/1200

[@yhshah21]

There’s loads around be lucky to get 1000 most be offering 700-800 😅

[@88gaz]

Any parts from Birmingham would be stolen 💯

[@thetruthking9622]

The car looks neat 😮

[@PKDionysus]

19:41 "I've got ALL the shafts, Mate." LMAO, Dean!

[@1881Gordon]

The Subscribers count is growing nicely Chris. Whatever bashing you get from some of the comments, you must be doing something right.. Just keep that in mind, and keep the great content coming

[@joncamilleri2172]

Chris, your uploads get better and better. This is a great channel and i look forward to each upload. Brilliant you got Dean on your channel too, he is a cool guy too. The RS3 is a beauty.

[@wayned3122]

Hey Chris, try using hair spray (the stickier the better) to slip on your intercooler pipes. It acts as a bit of glue and keeps high-pressure hoses from popping off.

[@tyburcjusz]

"The Mickey dent" 😂😂😂😂😂 love this channel and the energy 😂😂

[@fatherandsonsferrarirescue]

I think ya need to get some merch made saying fix'n the mickey dent.

[@watchmustafa]

mate, that car turned out awesome

[@yhshah21]

Mate previous video on this car had nothing wrong pure organic content.

[@fatherandsonsferrarirescue]

I really looking forward to him getting back to his super car project. Just like us he is waiting on an engine and we are waiting for cash for parts for the Ferrari. either way hope to see him do a Ferrari one day

[@yhshah21]

@fatherandsonsferrarirescue a F40 got crashed recently in the uk maybe that comes up for grabs 😂

[@fatherandsonsferrarirescue]

@ oh man I wish I’ll leave that for the bigger KZbinrs. I hope You enjoy our build and possibly future builds Thanks for the reply. We really appreciate the talent the UK has in the automotive sector Chris has done an amazing job

[@RoadToSuccessOfficialPodcast]

Fantastic effort mate! The whole point of these videos is to bring the audience along with all the challenges and lessons along the way. Keep growing! LETS RACE 👊🏻

Be nice to see the extent of the rework that the body shop did

[@timmymorrison86]

Enjoyed the rs3 build and how it’s turned out good watch

[@MortenDrifte]

Hey Chris Don’t use copper grease on your brake pads, use non metallic ceramic paste. greetings from Denmark you guys are great thank you. 😊

[@matthewshinn8083]

Came here to say the same. So much better products out nowadays than copper grease.

[@roryingram9332]

And always use gloves with copper slip if you do

[@Talltwunt]

Mans living the dream! Up and downs and still smiling! Would love to see you get ben from evil GT (rip) and do a stupid build for bants

[@markwells7363]

I suggest never putting an exhaust clamp on with the pinch bolts at the bottom as I guarantee you will catch something like a kurb, speed hump etc.

[@laszloalbert1991]

Winter tires can only mean one thing; can't wait for the trip. 😀

[@johnmadanat6696]

Love the interior. The car looks sick all done up

[@damoville66]

Letting all of the weight of that prop just hang down on the weight of the bearing is absolute madness. That's what caused it

[@charless2684]

The new hair looks to be coming in already!😊

[@Larry_g_]

I’ve had plenty of little hot hatches from GTI mk5. 07 S3 from a Clio sport 182. all the way up to an RS6 V10 I’m by far my favorite car of the all was the Audi RS3 2020 once you do a little bit of suspension work like make it stiffer. There is nothing catching you on a back road. and 180 mile an hour top end pretty fast.

[@ash-d7o]

I have a DAZA RS3 Saloon with suspension work and own 3 R53 supercharged minis, and I can assure you, the RS3 would be in a ditch trying to keep with the Mini on a back road! When a straight comes up however....

[@Ricey150]

I think Micky hitting the prop shaft with the hammer is what killed it. You need a proper tool for removal and refitting these on the RS3.

[@richa7263]

The bloke is a complete hack that's why. It's frustrating watching him destroy things he knows nothing about.

[@jmweatherill]

​@@richa7263and apparently he's an insurance approved repairer... 😢

[@TRD1949uk]

@@richa7263there’s having a go and then there’s stay in your lane. The way this car has been repaired has been a stay in your lane job 😂. The fact the body shop had to redo a lot of the work says it all….

[@PaulB-bw8ix]

Chris , surely you needed longer stud kit , when you added the spacers to clear the brakes as it wasn’t mentioned ?

[@ThaBeardedMatt]

Not a fan of silver wheels but they look mint along side the mirror caps as well, probably would dechrome the window trim, maybe black or sepang blue as well 👀

[@freddythefrog70]

Not a fan of any coloured wheels other than silver. Black are so chavvy, gold are boyyo racer, blue is for girl power with no taste. SOZ

We all need a Micky as a mate in our lives.

[@jamest5149]

Copper slip in to alloy is a mistake and causes corrosion due to dissimilar metals and can cause galling. Copper slip should only be used on steel to steel parts like nuts, bolts and studs. Use a nickel or aluminium anti corrosion paste on wheel hubs, alloy threads and calliper pins.

[@richardjanes2924]

Back in the day of Aston Martin DB4,5,6 etc. Aluminium body’s onto steel. They had to put a certain tape between the alloy and steel to stop them reacting & corroding. Copper and Aluminium are both non ferrous metals so how would they corrode. Please explain.

[@jo-ov9vc]

They can corrode ... oxidisation. Same with old land rover Aluminium body on steel chassis
