I FITTED THE BODY BACK TO THE CHASSIS ON MY ASTON MARTIN DB9 FROM COPART

Having fitted the engine last episode, I now continue building it up and reattaching the chassis to the body of the car.
For enquiries, I can be reached on my Instagram.

Awesome progress, the DB9 is one of my favorite Astons of all time.

[@itsalexbaldwin]

Cheers Ricky! Yeah it’s beautiful to look at, it really is!

Aston1936 in the States has recently had 4 extra injector O-rings that he was just giving away from what I remember. He ran into the same issue of them coming in an 8-pack.

[@itsalexbaldwin]

Haha I just don’t get why they’d sell them as 8, unless they use the same injectors in their V8s

Fantastic video.... I bet it was a nervous moment when you lifted the car... Well done you!

[@itsalexbaldwin]

Haha let’s say the dark trousers were a strategic decision on the day 😂

Can’t wait to hear it roar!!

[@RichardJPalmer]

It will probably be fine Alex! At least you’re not paying a specialist to remove the manifolds, etc to do the job like I did!! As for misfires and the risk to the catalysts, that’s apparently a real, but in reality very rare issue. Good luck. Enjoying watching the process. Good, nerdy viewing!

Good luck with this project,

Hi Alex, I need torques for the inlet manifold gaskets on the DB9 and I don't do Instagram. Your help would be well appreciated. A tip my hat to you for the work you have done already. Even fully qualified mechanics would surely shun a job like this!

[@itsalexbaldwin]

Okay mate - if KZbin allows you to put your email address in reply to me, pop it on here and I’ll send across a copy of the workshop manual by email!

[@craigmcbride526]

Outstanding work. Well done. You have some balls to do this 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Hello Alex, I just bought an Aston Martin DB9 submarine. Got it ar Cooart in the US and I am now waiting for it to arrive in Switzerland. Do you have a link to the workshop manual in order to separate the body from the power powertrain. I would like to do the 50 step program on it.

[@FrancisdeLeeuw-zv7bw]

At Copart

[@itsalexbaldwin]

@@FrancisdeLeeuw-zv7bw sure thing Francis - drop me an email on [e-mail]

[@marcinL19]

Hi. I need tightening torques for the crankshaft and connecting rods for the rapide. I think it may be the same as in db9?

[@itsalexbaldwin]

Hey man - drop me a message on Instagram and I can send over a workshop manual copy to you

[@Magnet.M.A.D]

You’ve done so well Alex. Well done buddy I’m so proud of you. You are living proof that you can do anything if you just put your mind to it. I can’t wait for the next episode 🤗👍 Take care ( Roger )

[@itsalexbaldwin]

Cheers Roger, always enjoy reading your comments. Thank you!

[@RichardJPalmer]

You’re a lot braver than I am to take this job in. Nice one! Is it really worth using 1 old spark plug after all that work? Probably fine, but what a pain if you use one which was somehow damaged in the flood. All that work to get access again!

[@itsalexbaldwin]

Thanks Richard, a lot of people have said this to me in person too - almost a worrying amount 😂 The spark plugs aren’t from the flooded engine, but the new one I bought; there were a couple in there that looked virtually brand new, and I used one of them!
