MY AUDI R8 HAS FRAME DAMAGE AND IT'S MY FAULT

[@htownblue11]

Helicoil for the win Ed! Or drill a through bolt maybe as a last ditch option. As for the brake cable, I’d bet there is a part cross reference you could,use to source one from another model Audi etc. Enjoying this build man, keep up the good humor and fun.

[@EdgasketGarage]

Both parts are on their way! Thank you TJ 🤜🏼

[@criordan5437]

Awesome video. Look foward to the next repairs. I live close to ft Washington

[@EdgasketGarage]

Maybe you can run over there to Audi for some parts 😂

[@jeremiahb3519]

Nice Video Ed. Looking forward to seeing it rolling

[@EdgasketGarage]

Thank you Jeremiah. I Hope all is well with you and your family.

[@jeremiahb3519]

@@EdgasketGarage Thank you Ed. We are great. Hope your is as well 🙂

[@Dylankeenan]

Dang Ed! I have never seen threads pulled out like that 😱Great videos man, I'm excited to see the rest of this Audi's "quirks"

[@EdgasketGarage]

Thanks Dylan! Auction cars are full of surprises

Another good video Edward.

[@EdgasketGarage]

Thank you 🤜🏼

[@danproctor8905]

Another great video my friend!

[@EdgasketGarage]

Cheers Dan!

I know you know this ED but for the rest of us look to Helicoil for your thread inserts. Should have a kit just for this size of thread. Looking forward to the first drive.

[@EdgasketGarage]

Thank you brother! Interesting the factory frame rails are all helicoiled. It was an unusual length so I had to order it. Should be all set for next video! Cheers.

[@David_W_Gold]

It's common for aluminum threads to be helicoiled or have some sort of threaded insert in the machined parts world. Much stronger thread that can take the abuse of repeated uses. @@EdgasketGarage

Looks like someone is going to invent a $2500 unicycle! Another great vid Eddie, can’t wait till she drives!

[@EdgasketGarage]

Can't believe it hasn't sold yet 😂

[@danbrett4899]

awesome Ed. get that sucker on 4 tyres.

[@EdgasketGarage]

She was born to roll!

[@Mr.LobosNYC]

Hey, Ed. The Playlist says that there are 4 videos in this Playlist, but 1 is hidden. By chance, is that a new video? 🥺

[@EdgasketGarage]

Kurt, I uploaded a video and it was not showing in HD quality so I had to take it down. New video is done just working on some high definition issues. Coming soon!

[@Mr.LobosNYC]

Copy. I can't wait to see if you take the r8 out for the 1st drive on your Midnight Run Asanti wheels. I can't believe that those wheels, Asanti AF138, are still around $1400/each. 🤯

1 step forward and 2 steps back. The story of rebuilding salvage auction cars!

[@EdgasketGarage]

Been eyeing up those red seats of yours!

[@dreday1332]

Should really talk to that guy who got the car off the trailer like an animal. 😂

[@EdgasketGarage]

My attorney is trying to find him

[@JamesBevenourMD]

well done

[@sophiadewald]

Can’t wait to see it on the road 😊

[@EdgasketGarage]

You’ll hear it before you see it 🤙🏼

[@tanaseav]

Timesert is what you want! Helicoil is what you took out of there and they are utter garbage as you've seen.

[@EdgasketGarage]

I accidentally welded the nut to the coil. Rookie mistake.

[@tanaseav]

@@EdgasketGarage that is true, and that happened most likely because you were unable to see it. A proper insert would have been visible and you wouldn't have made that mistake. This proves again helicoils are vomit. 🤣🤣

[@SomeJuanPlay]

Dang that sucks that it has frame damage

[@EdgasketGarage]

Not for long!

[@SomeJuanPlay]

@@EdgasketGarage I wrote that right at the beginning of the video because of the title but I was excited to see that it was "just" needing threads replaced

[@davidvonslingshot]

so much for that wiggle room over the last one…..

[@EdgasketGarage]

Getting thinner by the video
