FIXING MY CRASHED ASTON MARTIN VANTAGE

In this video we start repairing some of the accident damage on the #astonmartin #vantage #v8 starting with the inner tie rod and anti roll bar drop link. Then its time to pull off some of the damaged panels and assess and fix anything else under there!

Einstein said true genius is the person who learns from other ppls mistakes. Dude has a massive ego, but its all relative.

@@Chris_Slix you should watch or speak to @mat Armstrong he’s fixing an Aston rn

[@logan.stark777]

Agree… Just don’t have the money to make $40,000 mistakes. Could turn around a sell it but would then waisted all that time, energy and money on it. Want everything to look, smell, and feel brand new with my Aston because it’s my dream car. Some other car…. Would not care.

[@01635chris]

Matt Armstrong on a budget . I do like it though

[@terrorcracks4907]

agree with you mate

[@ElliottSix]

Top tip, never throw away ANYTHING till you've completed the car. Even little broken bits, odd bits ect :) Throw it all in the boot, if you discover you need it woop, if you don't need it then woop haha. Completing the car knowing you've not thrown away anything needed is the better feeling ;)

[@vladim1r0v]

please lower the music volume. level them up. Great video.. just subscribed :)!

[@CarChris82]

great progress mate a shame about that part for the track rod arm I think we have all been there and for that bar that's just taking the p*ss I'm sure you get it sorted 👍👍

[@ro63rto]

Brave man using a drill while letting his dreads dangle very close by 😨

[@JRRetroRebuilds]

worst case with the spacer just remove the other one and give it to an engineer to knock up on a lathe

[@f.k.3762]

Looking on your hands you should maybe consider wearing some assembly gloves

[@TheNorthernmunky]

Absolutely awesome mate, great video and some good help from pals there

[@snooglefinder]

I did the same thing when replacing the track rod ends on my Aston but realised in time and swapped it over. I did talk to an Aston specialist about why the insert comes out with the track rod end. Apparently it's very common and they recommend loctite when reinstalling, which I did. They can only be bought with the entire upright as it's an integral part but as other have said if you take the track rod end out of the other side with the insert getting an engineering workshop to turn one up on a lathe to the same specs should be pretty straightforward!

[@marbles351]

Are you and Matt going to do the TikTok car wash challenge together??

[@paulc8821]

Keep up the great work Chris, I’m sure your luck will improve during this great build.

[@garymorris801]

mate great video

[@appleboi7338]

Great video so entertaining watching you restore the Aston, you should definitely consider upgrading the front grill while fixing it

[@Chris_Slix]

Have you seen the price of upgraded grills 😯🤣🤣 make sure you are sitting down! Thanks man I appreciate it.

[@appleboi7338]

@@Chris_Slix Lord have mercy £1,999 I was sitting thankfully

[@logan.stark777]

Not interested in a project like this unless it was years newer, everything was flawless and the motor was blown. However, you got really luck on that purchase. Lack the personal confidence to work on something I really care about if I know nothing about it. My Vantage would be my child.

[@richardmoon3932]

You said you was going to tell us what you payed for it in the last video ?

[@Chris_Slix]

Watch the next one

[@thealv3z]

Gj Chris! You are doing great! Keep the videos coming!

[@johnelbro127]

We all do it, the moral, don’t throw anything away until finished!! Great stuff though👍👍👍👍👍

[@brun_s]

Top content again here Chris, fair play mate.. we all make little mistakes, it’s finding and fixing them that’s the main thing! Keep it up 👏🏻

[@Chris_Slix]

Thanks man!

[@andykeith2051]

Well on the plus side, you have the passenger side airbag 😅

[@pink43560]

Removing the dash could be tricky…

[@BillJM94]

Mate couldn't you measure the widths of the other track rod insert, and use a normal nut that fits the thread turned on a lathe to the same widths? Just an Idea! Great video, looking forward to see it completed!

[@frostyab7579]

rather than trying to break the glue bond, heat it with a torch; the bonding adhesive will pop right off

Never throw away any parts until the project is complete🙈

Lesson learned! 🤣

How good is it having an “Aston” in the garage!

[@barryhall7]

Can't you tap the threads on that bar to the right size? It's typical, you chuck stuff then you need it the next day 😐 Another great video mate 👍🏻

[@Chris_Slix]

They are the right size they have just been put in badly so it just aint happening! Plus they are reverse thread. And id rather send it back and get one that’s actually decent then have to mess around with it myself. Thanks Barry!

[@dozer877]

mistakes means content, and good content at that.......keep up the good work

[@Chris_Slix]

If only it was a pretend mistake 🤣 thanks man!

Absolutely

Doing well on the views man keep it up 👍

1080p quality just isn’t good anymore. Any possibility recording in 1440p. Just adds so much more clarity

[@DSmakman]

Check the KZbin of Matt Armstrong he is alsof busy with restoring a Aston Martin maybe he can help you with something.. he just get the complete dashboard out of the car and put it back in

[@brandonkanagasabay1416]

I reckon you broke the ABS sensor from missing the track rod end

[@brandonkanagasabay1416]

It happens I did the same thing on a Mercedes once I realise not much longer after doing it
