REBUILDING A WRECKED AUDI RS3 IN 2 DAYS FOR £1000

[@mikecoates3039]

Chris, you're doing a great job with the help of Micky, just a suggestion, where safety glasses when trying to chop out the panels, a work colleague is now blind because a metal splinter flew onto his eye. The company we worked for then started supplying safety glasses to 450 employees. It's better to be safe than sorry. Love the channel, by the way 👍

[@TheNorville2]

Not only safety glasses how about gloves, there are plenty of young people watching this and need to understand about PPE.

[@ducaveli]

I speak from experience having a metal fragment removed from eye is not the one. Really ain’t worth risking your eyes!

[@FuGall479]

and some boots when your welding those nikes would look loverly with burn holes in them

[@geoffcarlton4047]

​@@TheNorville2and a mask when sanding and spraying, insanity.

[@eugbrat]

And ear protection. Tinnitus is fuckin horrendous! Think I'd rather be blind in one eye

[@mathewjones5520]

There's such a thing as a spot weld drill bit, it's flat so doesn't hit the rear panel, also can use a belt sander on spot weldera

[@TheColorBrown808]

Micky is a gem, please give the man some proper PPE!!!!

[@MegaBlobbs]

fuck me ikr, every time i watch these channels I'm like, these guys have all the tools given but CBA to buy PPE…….

[@MrSteveFurness-Lappin]

Leicestershire is fast becoming the UK centre for crash damage repairs. Honestly between Yourself, Dean and Matt’s content I am never short of fantastic content. Keep up the great content 👍

[@thecodpunish]

Dean who? just wondering if its the same vibes would love to watch

[@MegaBlobbs]

@@thecodpunishsaving salvage

[@MrSteveFurness-Lappin]

@@thecodpunish Saving Salvage, Deans content is similar although I feel the cars he chooses are a little more relatable sometimes which isn’t a bad thing. Matt’s content is awesome but I will never be able to have any of his more recent cars. Chris’s content equally brilliant but again I don’t see me ever being able to afford the cars he has now…

[@robgti8747]

Leicestershire becoming the new Birmingham with all these bodged up shitters! Dean at saving salvage is about the only 1 of the 3 that repairs the cars to a decent standard! Look at that rear panel and light socket on this wreck!

[@KBZ477]

Protect Micky at all cost!!! Beautiful thing you have with your dad, wish i had that. Good on you, Chris, your father must be very proud!

[@carl9537]

😂

[@davidcostea3636]

Like the work you make , but i think this repair can be done much better , a couple of more minutes with a dolly and a hammer and the panel could be better without the need of that much filler :) , not bad for a fast repair but if you have taken your time could have been better specially on this type of car

[@willej6525]

Great content. YT algorithm brought me here (likely from Mat Armstrong who is incredible) and it’s great to see others/his friends and associates doing well. There’s more than enough ‘space’ for multiple - exceptional - KZbinrs to rebuild crash-damaged cars, and have subscribed. Cheers

[@ash-d7o]

Just upgraded my weedy rear brakes on my RS3 saloon to 356mm discs from an S7 using a Kinetix adaptor bracket. cost just over £200 all in and now looks like it always shud have.

[@andyrew3717]

Like the way you pulled the rear panel and adjoining panels before cutting them off (reverse the accident) only one criticism if I’m allowed, should have renewed the rear light panels. 👍🏻

[@user-sl5bh8kr8h]

Turn your welder up a bit and tack-weld nearly on top of each other. You'll get a deeper weld with less chance of blowing through. A second on and a second off 😉. 40 years experience

[@jacksat2252]

Should also mention securing that shielding gas bottle. If that falls over and knocks the valve off you have a couple more dents to repair.😉

[@AlphaEngineer2022]

Chris, you need a foam pad for the orbital sander, it will stop you creating low spots. cost 5 quid, easy peasy.

[@davepakey71]

By just pulling at the spot welds you’ve more chance of ripping the metal & you can get spot weld drills for drilling out

[@steverichards7925]

Everyone needs a Micky in their life. He one of these guys that knows everything without being big headed or seeking glory.👍

[@tnt8583killer]

in canada a mickey is a small bottle of liquor 375 ml lmao cracked me up reading it with that knowledge

[@KellyNunn-f2h]

Hi Chris lovely to see what you have done! this is my car crashed October 2024!! glad to see its being used again great car was gutted when a 40 ton fuel tanker went to the back 😭

[@lyndonhudspeth4915]

Keep up the good work Chris & Mickey 👍🏻 really enjoy what you’re doing, always get haters who think they know everything but know nothing! Been doing this all my life, own an insured approved garage, using cheap paint, get a life or don’t watch.

[@antonycook6713]

That's what we need more of, cars that more people can afford to buy and fix up. Keep it up Chris, really enjoy your videos.

[@Wildmanadventure]

Brilliant work Chris considering you have never attempted any repair like this before i think it was done great and well done . Can’t wait to see it completed .

[@2Rand]

Just love being early for a release on one of my favorite channels.

[@SavingSalvage]

Nice dozer mate

[@Chris_Slix]

Thats what she said…

[@ionutcatalinpopa6092]

😂 never to me sadly

[@Dalbayob69]

If you have a compressor then get an air to hydraulics pump for the ‘dozer’ , will save you so much time in pumping it by hand.

[@macstar8317]

Wear safety googles when doing this kind of work. You're a stray splinter away from losing an eye...

[@HG.MSport]

Please 🙏

[@antonyherbert1076]

I've done some really stupid things in my life, but driving a car like that after it's been in a crash, before fully inspecting it is on another level

[@liambowers666]

Great video, that right rear light/bumper recess didn’t look the prettiest, I’m sure there’s a reason/plan but might be worth giving it an explanation in the next video. Got to be honest, right up until a couple of shots at the end, it looked pretty mangled in there!

[@dardreams23]

that fire existungusher on standby was quick thinking safety first watching from 🇿🇼

[@paultimmins1]

Great work Chris your skill set is improving as is your confidence. Micky is a credit keep a good hold on him mate. I have been building and repairing cars for years , even built a batmobile from a mr2 convertible lol and the only way to learn is go to the deep end and dive in. Keep up the good work your projects just as interesting as Matts 😊

[@Thevidstoday]

I watched your podcast where you said you do not know what car will go well in a video, you’ve found it!! A fast and highly demanded killer car

[@tonygee59]

That O/S repair is an easy blend for your paint guy on to the rear door.No need to paint the full side.

[@anthonythomas9456]

Really enjoy watching u and micky doing these rebuilds he's old school and your modern

[@joshmerrick4716]

That’s not bad at all for that car! Nice work both. Nicky’s worth his weight in gold ain’t he

[@JakeNagle]

Great to see a challenge with a car that’s not a super car 👌 top work!

[@jasondenyer1202]

Have you ever tried spot weld drill bits instead of normal drill bits ?

[@LR24-v8w]

Great to see ya using the weld primer .. well done kid ..

[@Craig-c5e]

Great job Chris! Please remember guys this is going to the body shop to be finished off and painted! 😊

[@tigjunkie73]

Outside areas could've fine with panel beating before you welded it up ! OK it's all hidden but do it bad once you'll do it again to rectify the bad bits ! But I'm a perfectionist!

[@gavingg4761]

Hes a clueless bell who lives off mat's nuts😂

[@venomBound]

Great content as always, your videos (along with Mat's) have got me almost about to pull the trigger on a Cat N car to fix up myself. Keep up the great work!

[@DecimalTenths]

Class pal! The RS3 for my conversion was in better nick and still got stripped so well done for saving it!

[@Chris_Slix]

So odd you commented on this 😂 was actually you guys building your lupo that got me into watching youtube at all. Been watching your rs3 swap… maybe we could use a hand doing a swap on something else vag in the future 😅

[@DecimalTenths]

@Chris_Slix haha yeah pal that was a while ago. You've done great on this platform and are a natural 👌. Be great to do something at some point 👍

[@mkshaverma]

The rear panel delete is wild! I always wanted to know how it’s done and I’m happy to finally see it done! The result is truly satisfying

[@Chris_Slix]

Glad you liked it!

[@ashleyirvine8147]

Cool vid as always Chris, but where is the finished product? I would have loved to see her all painted 👌

[@Chris_Slix]

@@ashleyirvine8147 im not a magician 😂 these things take time unfortunately

[@jonnyrodders]

Think you forgot to add the boot hinges to the price total at the end, other then that good build mate fantastic car.

[@Nisar2878]

I have the same ara blue,but in 2018. mine is the black edition.Were your mirrors are silver and silver around the windows.mine are gloss black. Beautiful car mate hope you enjoy it.

[@gavinstreet9694]

Love your channel Chris,incredible how far you have come in a short space of time.

[@ThOoMii013]

I hope the body shop will also rework those crumbled and filled parts a bit more behind the bumper. Just to bring it up to the channels standard of professionalism!

[@cooperradley]

I much prefer this channel to "other" channels. Waaaay more down to earth and humble. Get videos Chris and team. Keep up the great work. Cheers.

[@CallumMcK99]

From experience, if you’re getting any wheelspin when on full throttle it’s well worth changing the haldex oil, as well as taking the haldex pump out and cleaning the gauze on the end of it. Will make a massive improvement to how the car drives.

[@MrMdub87]

Love this Chris! Great to see you challenge yourself and try repairing things from a different perspective. DAZA RS3 is still one of my dream cars for sure ❤

[@yhshah21]

No long things love it, welds are ok..getting better turn heat up one notch and give it a few seconds and do another on top

[@Breene17]

Such a cool car and micky seems like the man to know fair play

[@jonathanjordan1180]

Great video, Micky has a great knowledge of body works hints and tips great content

[@ThaBeardedMatt]

Love that you got little side projects whilst doing the McLaren, switches things up for yourself and us. Keep it up 👀

I get Matt Armstrong vibes from your videos! Absolutelly great work man!

Get well soon 😅

[@ned9344]

Micky and tony (Matt's dad) definitely needs to have a build off of some kind would be amazing to watch as both great guys

[@brian623]

Only a bit of advice you should be wearing mask the pair of you when you’re sanding it will not do you any good in the long run

[@tom282]

Comments on here are a bit harsh, first rear-end repair, which isn't a bolt on fix. He did well. Was he totally happy with it? Probably not, but it's his car and his channel. Entertainment not a body shop

[@StevenMurray-mt7om]

Hi Chris… Great job…even with the Mickey dent🙈😂.Joking apart he’s a great guy with a lot of knowledge. One of my pals got an RS3 omg it goes🚀

[@joarkristengard1716]

[@mykswappedescortmk2]

Push the MIG torch into the weld rather than pulling it away. You’ll get neater welds that are less bulbous.

[@Lionsraws66]

Hi Chris, love the video's buddy. You really should get yourself a set of panel beating tools and hammers. Then maybe another sponsor 🫡

[@chrisjones1539]

Yes mickey is the best with the chopper, especially the part when he has it chopping towards his Face! MICKEY LEGENDARY, I'd buy that hoodie

Use safety glasses when drilling/grinding you only have one set of eyes...

You did good again Mr Slix ,nice and humble. love it.

[@BetsBestBits]

To kill the mold and get rid of the smell, get yourself a ozone generator, it will also kill mold and smell in your AC.

[@brian623]

If you use an air chisel with a very thin blade, I watched another channel do it the other night and it was really easy and then he just cleaned it up

Nice choice in car Chris, more relatable to the audience 👏 i would say, though that the editing needed more attention. When the video is this long its hard to stay entertained with not alot going on. Big fan, only saying this to make the channel better 😊

[@jonwill-dz8zb]

I think you guys do some great things,but as someone that ran my own body shop for years I found it hard to watch. PPE was a big thing that had me cringing. I cut through a tendon on the back of my hand when only wearing flimsy gloves. Had to have surgery an a half pot splint on my hand to my elbow for two weeks. As for sharp metal and sparks in your eyes. Do yourselves a favour please. I could criticise your techniques and workmanship, but It’s far too easy for someone to do that. Take your time building up skill levels and doing good jobs and speed comes later. I do enjoy your channel so keep the good projects coming.
