You can text goonquad brother probably the gone help you with for mercedes amg parts

[@tebohophuthi]

That F1 sponsorship part of the video is top tier! Well done Chris

[@TheMdog8]

I never fail to be impressed by dry ice blasting - SOOO satisfying to watch

[@Stevencanfix]

I bought a Mercedes SLC. I needed some crankshaft bearing shells, my local Mercedes Said there’s none on the system. We can’t help you for over a month. I rang around the country and found a Mercedes garage in Nottingham an independent garage. He got me the shells from Mercedes in 3 days so call them give them a try.

[@robertdouglas5926]

Talk about going big early, this is an epic car with all sorts of issues that you have just hit head on. Great viewing and look forward to the finished product. Nice one!

[@90tommys]

Great work Chris. Those figures 🤯🤯🤯I genuinely hope you're getting decent revenue from YT. Massive set to take this on at this stage of the channel. Keep going!!

[@AIGuys-Online]

Really enjoying this build. Lovely car too.

[@aaronduffy4995]

Please do some yellow stitching on the belts to match the rest of the interior mate! Really enjoying this build

[@Dacar173]

A bot realy stole your comment damn

[@aja212x]

Watching the Ice Blasting was very therapeutic lol

[@Jonbuildz]

15:05 with the hoover in the mirror reminds of DUFUS - Dont interrupt me while I'm cleaning my room HAHA, get a chalk wall in the garage to write on will be great.

[@chrisshelton5733]

Love how good that ice blasting makes everything look brand new 😮

[@beemabuildbodystylingrepai1934]

Great video Chris love watching them keep up the good work the Merc is looking great 👍

[@P1Autokeys]

Another great video mate, AMG is definitely taking shape nicely..💯👌🏽

[@nickbrazier864]

Been following you for a few weeks now and been watching all of the AMG GT. Great viewing on a fabulous motor 👌🏻

[@ryanlongley5052]

It’s not just what it’s cost as a whole because you’re generating content-revenue from the amount of work needed, the more work the more content and then there’s the most important cost youtubers tend to not mention and that’s your labour-time. Keep grinding Chris, great job 👍

[@brian7369]

Always a good Video Chris ! Loved it 👍🏻

[@benlomax7513]

This is going to work out an expensive project of which i’m not sure will pay off in the end. I will watch every episode to support you though as I enjoy watching your content on my commute and this motor will look awesome when its done. It will be worth it in the end though i’m sure 👍🏼👏🏼🤜🏼

[@dodgefesta]

Ouch bud second hand non crash damaged about 48k. Having said that it's about the content and your doing a cracking job mate

[@MFFMPN]

Keep going hard buddy, youll get there... Great video the cars looking good, can't wait to see the end result and what you've got coming next

[@xtremetuninguk]

Should've grabbed the parts when you were in Europe with Mat Armstrong & Co.

[@dennnnnismo]

7000 worth of panels = body kit 😍

[@deekthetrucker5885]

I’m guessing it’s a body kit and wings like what the goonzquad done on their Merc.

[@mictaylor9531]

Number 1 😂 awesome as always Chris! 👌🏻

[@milestalbot5038]

Love your videos and enthusiasm but damm have you ever fixed a motor and not lost money 😂

[@gavingg4761]

He's matt but without the wallet fella😂😂😂😂

[@dardreams23]

nice work there following😊 the build from zimbabwe

[@richard_builds_it]

I was expecting drilling and panel separation for the roof but a binder bit of glass - came out easy 🤣🤣🤣 got to take the small wins where you can

[@garethjones2171]

Have done copart for years when you buy the car like this get all the parts get it all back together at the end of the day its still cat d or c is it worth it But love what your doing good luck with it

[@paulosoares2994]

its going great , keep the great job bro.

[@jvommen]

Chris, simple maths says 49000 gbp… you missed the panels I guess…. Again it shows that for people not having a reasonable income generating KZbin channel it is not worth redoing these cars, since it will cost the same as a non crash damaged one. That being said, I am always looking forward to viewing your content. Keep up the good work. You deserve a much bigger number of subscribers!

[@Adzricizz]

He said he wasn’t including cost of the panels, assumedly as he’s splashed out on a body kit rather than getting direct replacements.

[@Jonbuildz]

Starting to think you need a full sized ramp like MA now buddy

[@TheDrago1882]

That dry ice cleaning method is fantastic

[@mattgreene01]

The cheapest intact AMG GT that I found was £46k, also in blue. That rebuilding business isn’t going all that well here if it’ll cost a lot more to put back on the road than getting a brand new second hand one. Isn’t the point to buy it cheap, fix it and still be quids in at the end?

[@cbarros6073]

Can’t wait to see it on the road it’s a beautiful car

[@roryingram9332]

What is the lift / jack stand setup you're using to get the car so high off the ground?

[@johnelbro127]

Great video 👍👍👍👍

[@MrJamiesimon]

smashed it as usual chris

[@matthewbonner645]

Jesus has Ethan actually done a days graft it’s strange him not being present 👀🤣

[@distortion_plus]

Keep it up bro! ❤

[@MmushiMoloto]

I love what you did with the M3

[@deanmathers4483]

Awesome content as always and you absolutely deserve 2.5 million subs not 250k. How much was the ice blasting please?

[@marknarraway5551]

keep up the good work 🙂

[@johnoconnor9077]

Love this build Chris. By any chance did you try germany for those back order parts? Surely there be loads of second hand GT's there?

[@MrAdy993]

Chris this car is gonna be amazing once you’re done with it!🤙 try the euro-market for parts though😶🤙

[@Dalbayob69]

Can you not get a carbon roof for it and would it not be cheaper than the heavy glass panel? Save money(maybe), save weight and lower centre of gravity. Personal preference of course but I personally hate panoramic roofs.

[@mpglass8560]

hey Chris keep going it will be worth it

[@51madmitch]

Really enjoying this, having been a panel beater for 20 years I can see two obvious problems, one it’s a Mercedes, great cars but high price on body parts, ( like you have found eBay often want twice the price for used parts for Mercedes and BMW new ones, 🤬) and a rare newish car means not a common breakers yard car, new prices will push you up to a good second hand car price 🙁

[@MB-ye8mn]

Algorithm did bits for you on this, came straight up on you might light minutes after being uploaded haha

[@darrenfox143]

First job Chris, new ink pen!

[@Justin-jr7xq]

Great video, style and content as ever. Real person, real world content. No matter how many subs you get, stay the same and dont go all celebrity,ie hunting likes for doing stupid stunts👍

[@Pabloakscobar]

Good work as usual mate, fk the haters. ...From a fellow i30N owner.

[@Bobber_Dazzer]

Hi Chris, I think your not a bad business person even after 42k and it cost you another 10k your have a mint Merc. The others you showed you don’t know the real condition from. Plus you would have calculated this before you started. You have connections with Mat Armstrong and his crew and your always in his videos so no doubt got his feed back. You also appear with Mark McCann who is a true car person in his own right. So my point is your well connected and that Your Chris character portrays a guy who’s fixing cars to get to their goal but in real life your more than that. You’re clearly a perfectionist and that goes from putting the cars together to cleaning them to doing your KZbin presentations. Saying you’re not good at business is clearly untrue. Great video, production and content.

[@fabiankerkvliet1729]

Support! ❤

[@ccm-racing]

Working on the Merc with the m sport hoodie on 👌🏻😂

[@alfiegibson8517]

I work as window technicians this would of took 45mins to replace 😂😂

[@imfuctifino]

At this point I'm considering not selling my GTS but breaking for parts, GT's are the less desirable ones and are available to buy in the late 40's so sorry dude the rarity of these cars and the lack of crossover parts from other cars means this one back on the road is going to have your knickers down.

[@Superzesh101]

Might as well add a front and rear dashcam whilst you've got all the interior trim removed.

[@r0bb3rse]

It would be awesome if you got someone to mold a corbonfibre part and use that glass as a mold.

[@garyhaas6876]

Straighten those 2 out. Faster than waiting on back order parts 😊

[@clarencedlamini5770]

Cant wait to see the panels...could that be carbon..? Or upgrade..? This is getting interesting😅😅😅

[@longbar2344]

did u not look over and see what you needed to order at the start? or did you do that? cuz sounded like u only recently ordered the lights

[@1970sSupertramp]

Ask your subscribers if they know of parts Mr Slix.

[@TheMadmostin]

Big investment. Super car though. Much rarer than a 911 or similar.

[@damienjeremyweir4543]

nice job

[@CODGaming0007]

Can I have the race simulator link please? Love your setup

[@simondarrie666]

I smell some gtr body panels ❤

[@D992]

' I chopped the roof off' Don't you mean you removed the glass roof?

[@masonwilliams7462]

Half a gt still a beauty broken haha

[@edrow7530]

Would have thought you would have learnt with the Jag build that the parts would be as rare as rocking horse sh.. Now you’ve got a 5 month wait for the headlight? Ouch with £42k spent, that’s going to hurt mate

[@FaithlessEmoRacing]

GT3 Kit incoming????? please? 🙏🏻

[@HollyBerryDOOG]

You can't drive a car fast on our roads they're just too busy most of the time. My F80 is just mired for the most. My S1000R makes awesome progress though. The moral of the story is do your bike test and go enjoy!

[@yobigguy9272]

How much does that ice blasting cost for the engine

[@jonnymallaney5051]

A grand isn’t too bad in comparison a running light for a tuscon is dearer than that, and a standard bmw one these days are about 4 grand on some models 🤦🏻‍♂️🥴

[@bullvine2062]

That ice blasting is far too much over rated, especially that poxy tiny tube he had. A good degreaser and was down would have been cheaper and better results. You’re the detailing man.

[@Husneakhlq]

Yeh

[@Lordwrightyy]

Im going to guess, Amg black series body kit Chris??

[@bradleykusangaya3496]

so this project was done last year?

[@tristantopambudi3186]

You called that chopped off 😂

[@guy4469]

i bought an Escort 55 van rear end shunt £200 i chopped the back off made a 2 seater pick up van like a caddy sold it for £1200 ,its still around .

[@apb3251]

You can get an undamaged and lower mileage for £55k so I can’t see the value in it at this point as you’ll have to sell it as damage recorded

[@jaywood8152]

It's for KZbin!!!

[@BaileyMxX]

Think he knew going in for this he wouldn't make money out of it, they know they'll be lucky on many to break even. It's all about being able to get multiple interesting videos for KZbin and slowly grow on each build. Then when big enough audience you can raffle it off to subscribers. With these more unique higher ends car builds you're highly unlikely to do much better than break even on a private market sale

[@apb3251]

@@jaywood8152 well they tend to do a dodgy raffle comp at the end so it’s for the £££ not KZbin

[@apb3251]

@@BaileyMxX yeah but the winner gets a crash damaged car fixed with eBay parts

[@BaileyMxX]

@@apb3251 it's for the KZbin and sponsorships etc. "Winner gets a crash damaged car" don't bid or buy it then. They're transparent about what you are getting and it's all been documented in videos. It's pretty simple if you don't want it don't bid or buy it then?

[@tezza2806]

14:47 some product placement there Chris? Sponsored by Hoover? (Mirror in the lens is never a good idea)

[@gtisid]

love to watch these sort of videos as it helps doing my own stuff, but it baffles me how you throw so much money into these projects and at the end your left with a car that is such a hard sell . seems like most of these partco builds just sit once done or given away at a fraction of the project cost

[@hodenkobolt2]

If you give me the vin number i can check if the parts are available here in germany mate. i am going to england in 6 weeks ;-)

[@willhayes2217]

what year is this car?

So what’s coming first 250k subs or those parts from Merc?😀

😂 thats the joke

Sounds like he’s going to Liberty Walk that car

[@MirzaZivcic]

Roughly adding up what you wrote on the board and I came to +£50000. How did you only came to £42000? Car + Rad parts + Panels + Metal repairs and Miscellaneous = £41000.

[@chrisclark5343]

AMG GT Targa 😅

[@loshan1212]

The prices on Copart nowerdays are insane. I don't know why, but it seems like so many people are prebidding, and pushing the value of cars up so high. After the copart fees + cost to collect the car, often it seems like you're already at the price that the car would be selling for as a CATN/S. I honestly think regular people are driving up the prices of the salvage cars, after watching KZbinrs like yourself and Mat Armstrong, not understanding CAT cars are more like 75-80% of the shown value on the website.

[@davidclarke7728]

The auction price was to high

[@stephengraham6194]

We had to pay £1500 for a cx-5 sport headlight so your lights are good value

[@elliotmotola5348]

[@shaunnewell1971]

Because he chose life 😂 Matt is crazy 🤪 😂 Love them both amazing people

[@surfmunki]

Mat can afford to fix his where Chris can’t. Let’s get Chris more subs

[@krypla1]

Chris should have double the amount of subs at least

[@Timmax95]

Because it’s real life for him and not just a fun video like it was for you. On this track there could easily go something really wrong which costs a lot of money or even your health. It totally understand why he did not want to drive there.

Leave the roof. It ain’t that bad. Hardly noticeable

[@mfpmf]

imagine thinking an F1 casual simulator will do anything to your standard of driving....

[@RoccoReady]

It’s stupid, the correct thing to do would be to the advanced driving test in the UK followed by a pursuit & manoeuvre course by trained professionals. Easily available & not hugely expensive.

[@mitchelldorman8825]

He’s just linking the episodes sponsor to his content. I don’t think anyone playing fifa genuinely thinks it makes them any better at football 😂

[@PK73]

Then why do professional race drivers use them? 🤔

[@mfpmf]

@@PK73 nothing was said about using sims as a practice for real life racing. But being a safe driver and using an F1 'sim' is really two separate worlds.

[@marcomonteiro1446]

I would have left the seats out while doing the headliner But what do I know as a keyboard warrior

[@markcarter9476]

This back order nonsense for parts on relatively new cars is costing everybody via increased insurance premiums. Insurance companies are writing off cars that are perfectly fixable because the wait for parts (or non availability of parts) means repair costs can escalate. The cost to motorists and the environment is unacceptable.

[@R19Robbin]

It's a Mercedes wich means that there are almost no cheap parts available 😅😂
