Rebuilding a Wrecked 2018 Audi R8 Part 1

[@mikemcintosh9933]

I liked to see the auction part. Also - well done being at a place in life where you can drop $80,000+ to purchase projects. Impressive!

[@poplaurentiu4148]

Alex should talk (get in touch) with Samcrac he got an R8 as well from Co-Part that was frame damage..

[@belindos91]

a salvage title one at that sheesh wonder how much insurance will pay out if this car get's totaled again bt props on working on your dream car Audi R8 one of my favorite models too

[@belindos91]

@@eu_xn5749 ok may be in a different state from me. In CA you get revived salvage titles bt the salvage remains and value of car to insurance goes down usually they won't cover fully after total loss claim goes thru

[@naelalsarras3174]

I agree that they’re mostly the same car

[@iskydivetoooo]

Goonzquad had the same problem with the Huracan. Blown battery fuse.

[@dredrotten]

The old fusible link trick.

[@lxndrexxoro4501]

It was the piro fuse

[@experimentsgonewrong2589]

Got a question I'm no mechanic I'm an engineer

[@experimentsgonewrong2589]

But um I got a car here

[@experimentsgonewrong2589]

When I cut the roof off the car the car wont start is this because of the fuse

[@daver.9971]

Bet the main fuse is blown. Watch the Goonzquad videos on the Huracan, as they are mostly the same car

[@MrAlekoy]

Pyro-fuse that gets blown by a small explosive, controlled by the airbag-system.

Great work on this build Alex! Initially I was a bit put off by your channel, but your no BS approach to the builds and how you explain every so clearly is exactly what car build shows should be. Keep it up man!!

[@Speedy1208]

MMI - MultiMedia Interface 👍 Congratulations!! Awesome car!

[@Phantomous]

Really digging this build! Curious to see how it'll turn out! Please try to get the wrap redone, it looks sick! Good luck on the build!

[@AUTOREHAB]

Sickest build yet. I say that every time but this is def the best one yet. Can’t wait to see it done !!! And next time take the spare tires with you inside the hotel lol

Love the R8, really looking forward to seeing this build underway! Good luck finding all the parts you need. Hopefully you can get some of the large pieces like the hood and door from places like ebay from exotic dismantlers and save yourself a lot of $$$$.

[@Capamaru78]

Wrap is pretty cool so I would say keep it. Looking forward for this rebuild R8's are amazing piece of machinery, you will remember my words when you drive it around corners.

[@stellahead]

base audi r8 2018 is $165,000 you got yourself a bargain, good luck with the build

[@pope406]

but for a new one. Used one 80-120.000. Hope you make a profit. Parts for Audit are expensive and you will need alot.

[@moilaset11]

stellahead salvaged title too

[@kageryu311]

That's not a base R8. That's a V10 S tronic. Those go for almost 200k new.

[@VA_Gandhi]

TheHitman™ damn that’s a house lol

[@CraigFulton]

TheHitman™ That is a base V10. The more desirable model is the V10+. I have one. The + is 200k. The base is a lot less: 170k. Besides the dealers are taking 35k off of 2018s. You can get a used V10+ right now for $150k. He’s not going to make anything on this build.

[@mazetv5384]

Now this is a built that deserve to be watch. Im my opinion take the wrap off and give it a metalic color

[@SmoothOperator412]

“Engine: 5.2L V10” “Cylinders: Unknown”

[@thefmuchannel1387]

Tobias Butts hahahaha

[@apscoradiales]

Looks like track damage. Probably sideswiped a concrete barrier. Bold move Alex, trying to fix an Audi...I had an old allroad; was VERY expensive to maintain/fix even after i found an independent mechanic. The car always needed some repairs, and simply became way too expensive to run. Funny thing (or not depending on your view), the only broken-down car I once saw on a road trip from Toronto, Ontario to Pheonix, Arizona was an allroad on the side of a road in middle of west Texas - middle of nowhere. Good luck with the rebuild.

[@aydenvlogs638]

Oh hell yeah Alex!!!! This is going to be epic!!!!💪🏼

[@mocroonys12]

20:25 Those are called dynamic turning lights very cool!! If I'm not mistaken you can also make the turning lights of the headlights and mirrors dynamic. You will need someone with a VAGCOM/VCDS program.

[@КРОТ-о9р]

I don’t know what color I’d wrap it back but I would definitely ditch that digital camo wrap.

[@MaFrancois]

Turn this Audi dark green Thai would look awesome ! This is a very exciting build !

[@lazreganis303]

There is a fuse called "Power fuse" that blows with its clip once the airbags get deployed so thats why it will always keep the startor clicking and not allowing the car to startup . You can bypass the system by bridging the whole electricity circuit with jumper cables . I'd advise you to contact GutterSnake he knows pretty well about dem stuff . Cheers and good luck ♡

[@kwstantinosk89]

Audi R8 supercar👍 wow perfect rebuild 👏👏

[@mohsinm5618]

Keen to see you finish the project. To assist you a bit, the battery is not sending enough voltage through the positive terminal to the starter motor to start that's why you hear the click noise. Open the fuse box on the right side of the battery's positive terminal and you should see a blown pyro-fuse (black looking fuse system). That should be why u not getting enough voltage. Just bridge the connection with a jumper cable to bypass the system temporarily to see if it starts, most cases that's the cause as it blows upon impact. Please do a reaction video, good luck.

[@csisimayi]

excuse me... did you say you started at the age of 16....WOW Respect!!

[@bugged120]

Great buy and great wrap design! I’d say keep the wrap as it really suits the style of the R8.

Don't see anything suspect about the Goonzquad boys. Maybe a little jealousy running here? Alex wouldn't want to take part in a rumor mill. Neither would Goonzquad.

[@ratj4715]

Rob Joyner I was asking a question. Maybe they see something i don’t. The only thing i wonder at the very beginning was where these young guys got the money to begin with. But I just thought they got help from their parents and if thru did good for them. But I must say that the only thing. But I was wondering what they thought they seen. I listen to what someone has to say and decide for myself. How do you know jealousy is even playing a part in it if you don’t know what their thinking. I don’t know these guys they might be doing great their self. That lizard guy had his own show am pretty sure this is him. I don’t see these guys with a tv show. And this has nothing to do with Alex he not the one saying it. This is what the comments is here for their no limits on what you can say this is America. Their to many of you guys that take this kind of stuff to personal. It just comments. You listen than you decide for yourself.
