Rebuilding The Flooded Bugatti Veyron | PART 5

[@Gedalneil]

This is the best part by far. Doing the job. No dark room sad interviews, just doing it. Amazing.

[@TorqueTestChannel]

It's crazy to see the engineering in a $1 or 1.2M car. It was seen as preposterous at the time a car could cost at or over $1M. Now car makers take an existing super car, expose some carbon, put center lock wheels on it, alcantara everywhere, call it limited edition and charge over $1M and it's the norm. Bugatti/VW really put it all on the line at the time with this thing, and it shows. This was not a money grab it was a a crowning achievement.

[@spinaltap22]

Didn't each Veyron actually cost more like $5m to build, and they just sold them at a huge loss as some sort of halo model...so we're actually looking at the engineering in a $5m car, which is maybe why it blows 'regular' $1m cars out of the water..

​@joaoalegrio6433 that's just wrong lol

[@carbongatti2428]

Looking forward to the next part! Wish they were longer videos. Really enjoying Houston’s insights into the car, factory, parts ordering process etc.

[@igeloof1990]

I really like this serie! You did a great job going with the documentary style. More footage of the actual rebuild would even be better but well, tremendous respect!

[@y2kazan868]

We simply didn’t have many cool videos back in the day so whenever you went on KZbin, we had to search for the Bugatti that crashed into the bay. This is pure nostalgia and thank you for bringing us along.

[@0783155]

I once walked into a guys' office in Germany. He was an old, just retired engineer. His coffee table was made out of a Veyron engine with a gaping hole in it. He proudly called it the fastest coffee table in the world 😂 Apparently it blew on the test bench. He later told me that he worked on engine-gearbox tuning. Initially they downtuned them to 7-800 hp on the bench as the gearboxes were problematic. Later these were solved and a meeting was called. Main question? How much horsepower can we get reliably. He put on the table we can get 1000 hp. The manager there didn't like that number. 1001 like in the fairytales of 1001 nights just sounds better. And so that number came to be :-) op

[@RealRickCox]

It's amazing to watch you and the team painstakingly go through every little detail of this car and make it brand new again. So glad to seeing you use "right to repair" laws in your favor!

[@CodyKelly-]

Wild undertaking. Doing a great job the color is crazy 🔥

[@bridlingtonrcbashers9230]

These videos are fantastic. Thank you for sharing this build👍💪

[@ryanscarz]

I'm so glad to see Houston crosta rebuilding this. I've been watching him before he had this veyron. I saw the veyron flood video before Houston was even big. It's so inspiring to see him reassembling the whole damn thing. I wanna run a car dealer one day and vids like these give me reason to keep going. Thanks Houston!

[@HellcatDreaminJosh]

Houston Crosta Awesome Video I'm glad your Flooded Veyron rebuild is coming along well and I think doing a great job and I think it's awesome to see just how well Buggati did with all of the engineering

[@patrickm4566]

This build is badass, and I have greatly enjoyed the entire video series. Thank you for taking the time to share this with all of us. It’s a lot of effort to create this much content, I hope you get a good return, and do more in the future!

[@LunchmoneyH]

I would have lost so many bolts and nuts after taking this long to get the parts needed and put back together. Your team there is A+.

[@GaIvatr0n]

Steady my fav build on KZbin right now. Houstons OCD levels to make it look nice and clean is speaking to my inner soul!

[@BTguy]

I know he’s filmed some of these videos over a year ago, but he really needs to watch a few Mat Armstrong videos to see the flow of a proper KZbin automotive. This is so disjointed with way too much talking. Both proper geezers but MA is killing it.

[@s0UtHs1De419]

Yeah it’s crazy he gets dam near a million views ina few hours after the video comes out,his last one with the Porsche hit a mill in 16-17 hours that’s nuts great videos

[@GaIvatr0n]

I personally prefer Houstons build as a subscriber of both channels. No shade to Matt but he put a ton of rusty components and crap back into the Murci or rattle can'd things... Kind of disappointing. Houston is actually putting in the effort to put this car back up there amongst its peers

[@realmach5]

​@@GaIvatr0n rebuilding a flood car is different than rebuilding a crashed car. No point for MA to replace non damaged parts just because they show wear, you have to replace corroded parts on a flood car unless you want to trade the car apart later and redo work you skipped once issues arise.

[@GaIvatr0n]

No I totally understand but If you're going to restore a rare Murci which is closing in on that £1M mark, why cut corners? Do it properly and make it a real showstopper.. not just a pig with lipstick, hence it breaking down a number of times.@@realmach5

[@jonathanpeterson1984]

Bye 👋👋👋👋👋👋 🤮

[@_LEGENDARY_EURY_]

part 5 is DOWN!!!!! HOUSTON , the work and attention to detail is just AMAZING , WHAT A W!!!!!!!!!!

[@BeyondRacing]

Love to see these honestly. Not the average KZbinr bugging random people. Kudos!

[@CasaLender]

When your pockets can keep up with your passion, we get content like this. Great vid!

[@datafrag762]

I honestly love everything you have done Houston. Building cars renting cars and building new business. Keep doing you.

[@cncgeneral]

Really nice that VW have Bugatti parts available and will sell you whatever. You'd expect they'd hold onto them for high end customers

[@joecalderon3920]

I don’t understand how you’re not getting at least 1 million views per episode. This is such a notorious car. Maybe cause you waited so long to air the content, but still enjoying the videos.

[@lukebarnes8097]

Because the videos are boring AF. Who wants to watch this guy interview himself in a dark room complaining about cost instead of seeing progress on the car?

[@DetailDuck]

The car easily would bring millions of views per video but Houston’s ego bring -500,000+

[@ObiWanShinobi67]

No personality

[@orestomeliukh4863]

Can't imagine how much hair pulling this project takes. Mad respect.

[@Busta-mb8kw]

Houstons a proper supercar owner, literally will pull anything apart and have a go, prob knows more and been hands on than most Bugatti techs! Top work keep it up 💪🏼

[@philb707]

A "proper" supercar owner has to take apart his own $1,000,000 car? Or have to money to pay someone else?

[@Busta-mb8kw]

@@philb707 why pay someone else when if your rich in time you can do it yourself and learn, id rather be hands on if i can and had the time

[@philb707]

@Busta-mb8kw thats sounds real cute lol. Dude aint no millionaire/billionaire tearing apart no Bugatti outside of maybe Jay Leno. An even he doesnt do all the work on his own

[@thumprrr]

The real question here is what's the Porsche on the rack behind you?🤤

[@davidforbes7790]

Just goes to show you how good Matt Armstrong’s videos are when you watch this. We get it, it’s hard and expensive! That’s why people are watching.You don’t have to go on and on about it.

[@davidforbes7790]

@rjthomasindyusa If you are talking about America then you are already in trouble 😂. Yep he’s in position to rebuild a Bugatti so stop whining about how hard it is and get on with the rebuild.

[@skylerssupercarlife348]

Honestly... this is legendary stuff. No joke.

[@40pike96]

Purple, yellow black, white, green its just a colour. You saved a Bugatti from rotting away. You did not cut it up into 4x4 cm pieces and sold for 5 dollar like any youtuber would. Respect.

[@mikk63792]

Did you consider dry ice when cleaning the engine?

[@sjcperformance]

Maybe take all the bolts you have bag and label them then send them out to be zinc coated or whatever coating the factory used.

[@philb707]

Hell he could get them powdercoated the same purple as the body

[@aidencraigallman1656]

I have the same exhaust temperature sensor on my 1.8t Audi TT Mk1 they are not exclusive to the Veyron at all

[@kwstastt]

the exhaust temp sensors are from an AUDI TT 8N 1.8 225hp quattro

[@ItsPinecone_911]

Looks to be coming out nice. Cant wait to see it finished.

[@Brian_L_5168]

Great start for the new week by watching the rebuild. Always learning a lot from these. Thank you Royalty Team !

[@1of1Splash]

At 9:35 you can see a radiator fan control module…. I have the EXACT SAME one on my 1999 vw beetle. You don’t know how shocked I am to see that crappy part

[@ItalianRebuild]

Indeed. He should have googled the part numbers tbh ....... This is basically a very expensive car from the VAG group. He could have saved himself some money! :)

[@TheXJRMAN]

the sheer engineering of packaging the technologies, it's still the apex motor car.

[@caseyrenner2061]

Thought we was getting a new episode every week it’s been 3

[@nickpotgieter93]

really liking this series!!! well done!!! cant wait for part 6!!! saw a short that you were driving this beast!! hehe come!!! get the editing done!!! :):)

[@jimmyG21645]

Surprised you didn’t have the engine dry ice blasted to clean it up instead of using a dremel.

[@asabir141]

Thank you for sharing this build but short video though, can’t wait for the next one.

[@Kenny407]

9:30 that looks like the same fan control module thats in my Jetta 😂

[@djrandyp9226]

THANK YOU for getting rid of those weird ass whisper interviews.

[@DetailDuck]

Dude loves the sound of his own voice. Could cut out 75% of all the commentary and it would add value. These videos are 25% Bugatti and 50% useless commentary and 25% useful commentary

[@lukebarnes8097]

Yup. Total snooze fest

[@kdldaddy737]

I admire how hands on Houston is, unlike a lot of other KZbinrs with big bank accounts

[@mightymoyan4788]

The crew at Bugati are so good it only takes 4 of them 2 hours to pull the engine and they hit you for 12-24

[@xDoyle514]

Cross reference all the parts! 99% of them are VAG parts. Save the money where you can.

[@customdesignauto4714]

Hats off to you, Houston for taking on such a massive project. Keep up the good work from one KZbinr to another.!!👍👍🔥🔥👌👌

[@Everythingisgoingtobealright]

I’d love to see a Bugatti tech do a reaction video.

[@royc8325]

[@michelhadid]

Awesome. Thanks for this series

[@ElT1greVerde]

That’s the same fan control module from a Volkswagen Jetta Mk4

Love interesting bits of info like this

[@lsucody3687]

As a machinist I could have remade anything metal/aluminum/tungsten all the bolts pulleys etc way cheaper and equal or better quality

[@brotherfromanother1971]

Respect your hard work and dedication for this rebuild. Its just a shame you've gone for some cheap-ass purple any kid could get wrapped on his little Honda Civic.

[@runningvalver]

Those gas temp sensors are from a mk1 audi tt with a bam code. Hence the markings.

you should look into the dry ice cleaning would help you out and you could start offering that at your place i think people will come in and use it great video looking awesome

[@AMG63]

Houston you should of done some ice blast cleaning on the engine and other parts that needed cleaned, would of brought everything back to brandnew

[@twizzltwizzl7962]

Thx for making this content, we waited a long time to see this. Might aswell upgrade to better than VW standards

[@raygarrahan9325]

Why not clean with dry ice, seems to be a good solution to remove surface rust, corrosion ect?

[@shazadbukhari7291]

A lot of talking man. It’s not a bloody podcast. Show us the work lol. We here for the Bugatti.

[@bco529283]

Amazing now you're on your way to be a certified Bugatti repair shop...👍👍👍👍👍

[@Whippdf150]

@Houston are you missing a center console piece? One showed up on DB marketplace a while back I’m SW houston.

[@JeffKatra]

Really respect the fact that you could easily just let the team handle it but you are invested beyond the financial parts and want to get your hands dirty and know what it happening. Screw the haters 😊

[@YairvanEer]

These videos are too short man. We want more!

[@JadenAnson]

This series is so good

[@rapplug4752]

Royalty has so many Frankenstein cars I can see why some brands (Ferrari) have an issue with what you do. But it’s still very interesting to see these cars come apart

[@cjensan]

I've really enjoyed seeing the engineering and work you guys are doing on this car. With the cleaning though, I feel like it would be worthwile renting or buying a laser metal cleaner, or dry ice blasting everything to clean it instead of the wire wheel. It would be much more time and cost effective with a nicer look at the end.

[@jasonharris3873]

The car is already complete so no point in kicking the tires after it’s already sold.

[@End3r_Wiggin]

I seriously doubt a 15 year old Veyron shares any parts at all with a Chiron on the assembly line. So, no, they aren't choosing to use parts on production cars instead of sending them to you.

[@danielnl319]

That box (5B0 919 506) looks like the fan control module on mk4 golf 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@felixlutticken5694]

It probably is. The DSG transmission from the Veyron is also based on the one from the R32 😂

[@danielnl319]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@skiefer13]

At 1:32 I was vibing 🎵 🎵

[@kodehh3322]

Why don’t you zinc coat all the hardware? That way you don’t have to buy new hardware just drop it all off. Then it won’t rust again and they will look way nicer. It’s probably cheaper to zinc all the hardware then buy all new hardcore as well.

[@Knightrider3343]

Can't wait to see the finished product

I like this a little better than stopping to talk like a documentary. We like to see the cool stuff all at once in one bang

[@mattb7766]

I love watching this build but these episodes are soooo short.

[@george11694]

I’m confused is the car already done? And just waiting for the reveal at the end ? Or is he still working on the car

11:36 just get them refinished/plated/anodised just make sure you provide a parts list and number of parts

[@jjansen987]

Great job so far! Keep them coming.

[@Ben-in6qh]

I was confused when you removed the turbos, you must of known you'd need to remove the engine and overhaul everything ? Do the modules and things not have vw part numbers on? Bolts can be plated, to a factory finish

[@NBSV1]

I think they were hoping to shortcut some processes and get the turbos off so they could get checked out while they were getting other stuff apart. But, with stuff like this you basically have to go in order or else it’s way more work if even possible.
