REPAIRING MY CRASHED ASTON MARTIN V8 VANTAGE WITH V12 PARTS

[@mattsbeamer]

Hey, over the last 2 days while being sick, I was lucky enough to come across your channel. I watched all the 350z, 135i e82 and Aston videos so far. Great work. The 1m rep is stunning

[@Chris_Slix]

Appreciate it matt! Get well soon.

[@mattsbeamer]

@@Chris_Slix cheers Chris!

[@3000malc]

nice job, I can't believe that people watch a video without even giving it a like, if I watch a whole video I always give it a like. come on people, start giving the vids u watch a thumbs up, it ain't hard.

[@marklaxton5550]

Looking good the side skirts make a big difference when you compare them 👍

[@Hwang_Over]

Nice! I hope you paint this flugplatz blue! I would also rec clear black taillights with carbon inserts to match everything and update the rear. ECPS is a good source. If you dont want to replace the entire trunk but get more aggressive, they make duck tail lips to mimic the newer vantages. They come in carbon too.

[@rhuk2012]

you definitely should source the clear rear lights from the newer vantages. looks much better than the old style red ones.

[@paulholman8465]

Lovely looking motor, can’t wait to see it finished mate 👍🏻

[@GT-Diaries]

Great project, Aston Martin always look stunning.

[@johnelbro127]

Loving the car with updated body parts. Looking forward to the next one👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@mictaylor9531]

Chris, with small symmetrical round parts like that you could have whipped off the part from the other side for reference and had any half descent machinist knock that up on a lathe in less than 5 minutes and it would cost you around £10.00. Just a consideration going forward. Awesome content as always 👌🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

[@IAmWillMcLovin]

It’s going to look unreal when complete. Nice work Chris

[@brun_s]

Yet again another belter of a video mate! 👏🏻👏🏻

[@brun_s]

Also please invest in some knee pads 😩😩

[@bentaylor200]

When you buy headlights make sure you get a pair with matching bezels, there are 3 different styles.

[@SM-ec5bk]

Great video . Very honest and transparent

[@steven-taylor]

Great video chris, just subscribed! Been following matt since from day one, seen you in a few of his videos. Great work

[@bigmatt2896]

awesome video chris, car is looking great. just waiting for the next video now which should be called.........................."V12 engine for my vantage" :) keep up the good work mate

[@TheNorthernmunky]

Loved it, every bit of it

[@peggyontherun39096]

Looking good Chris keep up the good work

[@gt197]

Looking sick already Chris..👍🏻

[@danieljameson8330]

Great work Chris

[@lukebuxton7589]

Seems MILES away from when your brought your Astra to me all them years ago! Great to see you’re doing well. I’ll take that Starbucks for a catch up soon 👍🏻

[@Chris_Slix]

When i couldnt wrap an interior trim 🤣 lets see if i have got any better…

[@jasonreynolds1347]

Cheeky spoiler on the boot! 👍🏻 And really do like the colours! Think you could make it work 🤔

[@kristofferkorkunc]

If the exhaust is loud now and you can't hear the parking sensors - try removing the fuse for the exhaust, it opens it up sounding maaaad!!

[@75AndyP]

Chris you'll have to pop round and take me for a spin when you get it done. 👍👍

[@whatsdavedone104]

Quiet liking the silver on black...think you should do silver down the sides, black bonnet, roof and boot 👌

[@markcarter9476]

The Vantage definately has a look about her, looking forward to seeing which colour you go for. Personally I would go for the 'Aston Martin Racing Green' but thats probably a little conservative for yourself.

[@hellodarren]

Great work mate, not long now!

[@SoulBrother-V8]

Been waiting for this episode

[@mikaeljonsson4686]

Thx for a great video with an awesome car! 👍😍👍

[@bigal2417]

i thing you were very lucky to find that part.

[@nickybashment7873]

I'm jealous... Love a vantage 😍

[@jayb8439]

This is excellent 👌

[@Talltwunt]

Sideskirts make a huge difference man! Love it well done! Was hoping you would wash it this episode ;)

[@Talltwunt]

Also get a huge wing on it ;)

[@jamestodd6248]

Good job, looking mint👌

[@RichOvertonGasoline]

Another great video mate.. ☝️

[@dominionngadu1268]

Your doing good Chris ☺️☺️ wat about changing the back light with new LED lights design....

[@LiqdPT]

10:42 I honestly thought you were going to say "the grille". You are doing the v12 grille, aren't you? I guess I'll find out.

[@user-qq2mo1ek2r]

Nice work though I'm a purist and have a vantage but expressly wanted the original tucked under sill.

[@mamaulanfarhanmolok4282]

Dayum bro nice 💯 still waiting for the 1 series tho

[@TheDevilVaper]

Wouldn't it have been cheaper for you to remove the metal bush from the passenger side and got a CNC copy made? 🤔

[@Chris_Slix]

This was my second choice would rather have something that is unquestionably 100% correct

[@robsmith4555]

That would probably cost a lot to make a 1 off piece. Unless you know someone who could do it on the side.

[@pero9815]

Track rod is from frod by looking at its number you can buy frod one its exactly the same peace :)

[@LiqdPT]

5:00 I know you'll probably get there, but the tailpipe finishers are different on the V8 and the V12 (and they're bolted to the bumper with different mounting points). Annoyingly, the V8S has V12 finishers, so I ordered the wrong ones for my car at first.

[@Chris_Slix]

Already done it man 😅 check the newer videos!

[@LiqdPT]

@@Chris_Slix Ya, I'm working my way thru. I watched Matt's videos and had seen your first couple but had somehow fallen behind. FYI, I'm a mod on the Aston Martin DIY FB group along with Josh (Detail Media Corps) that you referenced back when you did the intake.

[@shkohemin5901]

Keep it up

[@leslieburridge2087]

Just watching your video on the track rod end bushings ? obvious this is an AM designed error, as I have never seen such a bushing installed in this area. Secondly you should never reuse a lock nut, especially on a critical piece of equipment 😬 However great video PS, I have subscribed to your channel 👍👍👍

[@dee106ful]

You could have asked an engineering company to machine one for you.

[@michaelhall3602]

Looking good would look better wrapped white 😁

[@stringermariexoxo7049]

Make it pink 🥰

[@northamptonwest9077]

Shite day just got better. Think you need to expand in to helping subscribers lol. I'll donate you my L322 and you send it back to me in A1 condition think of the Ad 💰🤑💸

[@Mega18091984]

Your vids are okay but I still preferring Mat Armstrong ones

[@Blue-nb4xl]

Wish I was mat Armstrong

[@SP-ot4wc]

Your mate MAT ARMSTRONG didn’t give you any car cleaning products?? He got branded MA range and not hooking u up 🤦🏽‍♂️

[@johnwilliams-sc1vf]

You should have taken off the other side and had one machined

[@delmarcarz4974]

i have a set of 2011 V8 vantage GT rims dm if intesrested

[@Nxthxn.]

I feel like you're thumbnails are slightly copied by mat Armstrong

[@boss_61]
