as cool as this is get into something simple if you want to learn. i wouldn’t even start with a car, i’d get a dirt bike and an rc car. those are usually less complicated, and have small versions the things that every car has: wheels, axles, driveshafts, bearings, wiring, engines, motors, batteries, pretty much anything that could be a car part. and it’s usually cheaper too which is nice when learning.

Working on cars is a therapy for a lot of us… and when things get tough most of us look at bigger projects just so we can stabilize our moods.

It’s therapy.

[@BoostedSpeedDemon]

I don't know if you know this tavarish, but lithium batteries are hermetically sealed. Lithium reacts violently with contact with the air. So it has to be completely airtight. Lithium will spontaneously combust when it contacts oxygen. So the fact that your battery hasn't melted down, says that there is no water inside. Because if water could get in, Air could get in, and it would have melted down already.

For perspective, at 1.1 Million views after only 18 hours. It would take a single person over 81 years of continuous watching this on loop to accumulate this much view time. Who knows what the view count is going to be after a week. At the rate KZbin Pays content creators for views, is is roughly equivalent to one fortnightly repayment if Freddy is planning on paying back this loan over 5 years.

Hey @tavarish that lithium battery should be fine. Because it’s still reading 1.3v there isn’t an internal short (atleast anymore) and only charge it with a lithium charger as non lithium cells have a different nominal voltage as well as charging voltage/current. Hope this helped. Loving the content so far let’s see where this ends up!

[@Airwolf-lm9cm]

A nominal 12 V battery showing 1.3V is more then likely not fine. That is much lower then you would expect even when fully discharged.

maybe a battery specialist can chime in on this

The problem with Lithium ion batteries is that they explode when there is a short. If you do leave it on a charger I would do it outside, and away from something you care about. Maybe inside a steel dumpster or old oil drum

This project puts you back in the realm of risk. Although it’s not the risk that the everyday man can take. It’s entertaining to see a real project again

[@devyntheunbroken7303]

Im excited to see all this unfold. The P1 is also one of my favorite dream cars and I cant wait to see you get her back and running again

[@ruldadsly]

I'm excited to see you revive this beast like you did with your Blue McLaren. Keep at it Freddy! We (My whole household) loves your videos man ❤️

[@thatpeskyswan]

I never used to be a fan of your channel when you first started out but I think you've really improved over the years and I've really enjoyed your last couple series and collabs, I've just subscribed officially and can't wait for the p1 series! Good job dude , hope all goes well 🙏🏻

[@318ci]

Congrats

Bum comment nobody cares if you sub

[@ThatGuyTez]

I’m itching for the next video already. That feeling of fixing something to make it whole again is addicting 🔥. I’m glad I get to watch this all go down! Gives me motivation to keep my build going, keep them coming! 🙏🏾

[@ananthuk5831]

Iam all in for this series.. loving it🔥

[@thebritishautochannel]

Wonder what the plan is for all the broken parts that come off it 🤔

[@evodesignsracing5925]

Auction them would be smart to us the fans

Most carbon parts can be rebuilt safely to be as strong as originally, so probably they will do that (like the repairs on the 675LT)

[@oldfag_adventures]

i hope he saves them that way when he's done replacing every single thing in the car i can have my own mclaren. a mclaren of theseus if you will

[@olechristiangre]

Damn, Freddy! This project is MEGA! Looking forward to seeing you rebuilding, or building this better! Especially since this is one of my favorite cars.

[@Yoso_Elements]

A mammoth task ahead, but you'll get it done! Can't wait to see the P1 running!

[@thenima]

The truly is the greatest rebuild in history. Freddy you're a Legend

[@johnmills3619]

A McLaren you say, think you’ve got a beach buggy there! 😮 Every panel you lowered produced so much laughter! Loving the rebuild video though and can’t wait for the next one. 😊

[@bboyexoticx8]

This series is going to be huge for this channel, in 3 days this video is at 2 million views, most of his videos are in the 500k-1m range very excited to see this one, I've been watching since you bought the burned Lamborghini, it's amazing how quickly this channel has exploded single then

[@jimdennis2451]

He was very smart to get other car KZbinrs involved and interested.

[@MrFrenchie2010]

Nice to see spring time shenanigans. The merci is amazing. Float a few ideas on a potential build. Your vision for supercars is spot on. You have taken the merci as far as it can go. You built your channel to what it is today. Move on. Houston will let you still drive it later.

[@ctrsmithy]

Enjoying this series don't get me wrong, but I would think soon as I got it back I would have tried to clean that up as much as possible to avoid any further corrosion.

[@nicolamontori]

I mean at this point everything was dry, the corrosion already happened, waiting a day or two to dismantle the car likely won't make much difference

[@cyprusdaedalus]

Agreed. Get as much salt off of everything possible as quickly as possible.

[@ctrsmithy]

@@nicolamontori yeah I kinda agree and I know most of the parts are probably non corrosive but with that kind of money involved if it was me I would have tried to take it completely apart ASAP and clean it.

[@Thegreenamg]

He already did this the 2nd day he got the car. He got the battery out asap this video just got uploaded but on his insta and in a interview he showed clips of the car already so much more disassembled so i am sure he knows what he is doing

[@JasonLihani]

He probably did. They probably filmed this like the day after getting the car back. I can't imagine it was just sitting there for a week.

[@AnthonyDurand1]

I hope you find a fibreglass repairs centre that can make a mould of that clamshell and save you some money.. British cars are always interesting to see how they are for taking apart to work on them.. Can't wait to see it going. 👌

[@MechanicalMafioso]

It’s carbon fiber, it can be fixed same as fiberglass. You’d be surprised what can be repaired.

[@AnthonyDurand1]

@@MechanicalMafioso yeah I know man, could repair that one by filling it in with fibreglass and use the specs to make a mould, then using the mould make a new shell out of carbon? Its a cool thing to keep or mount on the wall.. I wouldn't trust that original clamshell at 200mph.. 😂 The more they take that car apart the more you appreciate the love and care that came into it's design.. That cars taken a serious beating and other than the rear clamshell it's perfect.. Same philosophy as the magenta F1 Rowan Atkinson crashed.. These things were engineered to go fast and be safe.. Saw how that undertray flexed when they removed it.. I'd love to see it in a aerodynamics facility where they spray it with ink at 200 to see how air flows around it..

[@MechanicalMafioso]

@@AnthonyDurand1 I’ve seen lots of fiberglass late model fenders get repaired that were absolutely destroyed, more than 6 pieces get put back together and hold up just fine around 160 mph. Carbon fiber is far stronger. It’ll hold up just fine @ 200+ as long as it’s repaired properly, it’ll be just as strong as it was originally.

[@YourFavoriteSwiftie]

Holy Shit. I'm a 48 year old married, mom of 2 boys. Definitely not your usual viewer. I cried when I saw this McLaren during the hurricane. I'm so, so happy to see it being rebuilt Freddy! I would DIE to be able to see it in person when it's finished. I'm rooting for you & the guys. I'm thrilled you finally got your dream car! (I'm so, so jealous!) Put my name on that long ass list to come see it in person- I'll fly out from Oregon no questions asked!😂

[@robertolemos4]

You can try cleaning the sockets by soaking them in a full glass of vinegar for a couple of days. Then you need to clean the vinegar and apply contact cleaner.

[@cherk5918]

This is an amazing task Freddy is taking on. I’m literally checking multiple times a day for new videos of this project. Best of luck on this insane build!!!!
