the $38,500 MCLAREN has ELECTRICAL ISSUES We Didn't Know About... (PART 4)

[@TheInja]

Forgot to mention the doors thought they were a McLaren MP4-12C 😅😅😅

[@dwk5234]

So great you have that relationship with your Dad, and it’s wonderful that you appreciate it like you do. I had the same thing with my Dad, he was always there for me. I lost him about 13 1/2 years ago, and I still miss him and think about him every day.

[@hojo9115]

Great to see you're making progress with the McLaren. You have the right attitude to deal with this project and I'm sure the more you repair, the better things will get. Broken wires are major headache but don't rush things, take the time you need we all want to see you driving this

[@CRAIG5835]

Hear Hear, hojo. FACTS.

[@Harry-lmao]

Most important is to have all electrical issues fixed and finally get access to the engine bay. That's what I'd be focus on n do all other parts later. Hope not it turns out at the end to be totaled. Keep the fingers crossed. Can't wait to see the next part(s).

[@Mrbombardermaniac]

I'm so happy for you dude! I love you downtown to earth and humble you are. You got this brother! Keep going! I'll keep watching!

[@CRAIG5835]

Yeah man, the dude is sooo clever he makes it look not easy cos nobody would make it look easy, but he makes it look like he was Born to Run...with it, The Inj knows his sheet

[@ccm-racing]

Only just stumbled across your channel and honestly, it’s my favourite to date. Rebuilding a McLaren on a driveway, that’s as real as it gets. Fair play man that’s awesome 🙌🏻

[@TheInja]

Appreciate you! Welcome! 👊🏽

[@TheRealAlpha2]

As always, love that positive vibe! Even the problems you don't have an answer to don't seem so bad as the could be.

[@TheInja]

The more optimistic you are, the smaller problems seem 😌

[@AdamMacleod83]

In the UK we can get paint made up using the colour matching camera. The camera actually pulls apart the pigments and finds the closest match. It works every time 👌

[@TheInja]

Gonna definitely go that route!

[@CRAIG5835]

Wow. Top Marks there Adam.

[@tennnis498]

Brave soul to buy this car! I find it presumptuous to assume the car was being driven with gas in the oil, despite being otherwise neglected. The car underwent a catastrophic accident. And imho, many things are misplaced and displaced during such an event. The fuel system encountered severe pressure and may have sent gas into the intake then into the engine? I’m no expert, but in a big wreck, the integrity of everything is challenged.

[@petersteen4014]

I'm enjoying this series so much - that's not to say the others are any less entertaining. I've been through similar predicaments overseas [I'm S/E Asia-based] working on an '80's CBX Bol D'Or and XS11 - I ended up adapting parts from wrecked bikes or asking local fabricators to make them ! It's a steep learning curve, sure, but we know you'll do it successfully brother

[@joegrey5150]

Like watching the underdog builds. Very cool man. & respect your father for helping his boy 👊

My favourite KZbinr 🙌🏼 only started watching since this series started and the videos are fantastic. Credits to you can’t wait to see more builds 👍🏻

[@JohnRowland-ec5dr]

enjoy the time with your dad istrarted fixing my dads car at 8 years old he could never buy a new car so i always had a car to fix miss going out to salvage yards getting parts with him always had a knack for fixing things loved every moment with him

[@thetroothhurtz]

Your dad is a legend, what a badass

[@humbertojuhasz1475]

Great job you did with your father, I think you should have all mechanical parts installed first, and later everything connected, all the modules, the airbags, check all the wires, so you will have better results. You have an amazing project.

[@pp606mm]

Great job....the red paint on that car is just amazing!

[@RealRickCox]

You’re making progress! Sometime just staying in the game and pushing through to solve problems is what’s needed.

[@TheInja]

For sure 💯

[@MIUBHI007]

All you have to do is take it to any bodyshop or automotive paint supply company and they can get their camera, scan it and get a code for you in which they'll take that code and pull the chips to see how close the match is. Even if it's not a perfect match, they have thousands of chips that they can put next to the car to find one that waaaaay closer than the paint you've got in the rattle can. Been in the collision industy for 20 years now, any good shop can do it for ya. Good luck

[@TheInja]

For sure, that's now the new plan!

[@christopherkutz6415]

I absolutely love what you are doing with your dream car. In my case, it is more of a cheaper car, a 1990 Corvette FX3, identical to what I learned stick on. My father has one, and still has it. Currently both are in the same garage now being worked on.

[@TheInja]

Very cool!

[@joelmorales9203]

New to your channel. Super cool build that you have. Enjoy watching your progress for the first time. You are correct about one thing. Very little on Mclaren rebuilds on KZbin. Keep up the great work. I'll stay tuned. PS I have several projects of my own. Just to busy to put up a video on YT. Best of luck.

You need to treat that guy to a 40oz prime rib. Great story, nice editing, looking forward to more!

[@MrFredrikLokka]

Maybe you can check in the wiring diagram and see where the wires for the engine bay latch goes, and opening it directly via the wires? Just a thought. As it is probably controlled by an ECU in the car. Also, great channel! Greetings from Norway!

[@Ronbc000]

From viewing several other builders in UK & US it is apparent that it's not mechanical but the electronics that cause most grief Good luck 👍

[@TheInja]

Facts, we'll get it sorted!

[@ELECTRICBIKEDIYLIFE]

That's so weird. I was checking earlier to see if you had posted anything but sadly no. Now I just get home and WHAM!!!!, new video. Must be nice having a Dad still. A little bit of morbid humor, lol. Way to rub it in Inja.

I've tried doing spray jobs with cans, and my asvice is don't. It ends up being hyper expensive and the finish won't ever be as good as with a spray gun. I don't know if the electronics will work without the brakes being conected and pressured up.

Is it so hard to find two wires of engine bay lock and feed 12 volts? Another way is to find good obd diagnostic tool. There is option where you can test equipment manually. Like relays, actuators, window motors and etc.

Excellent job, sir. You've come a long way baby. LOL keep up the good content. You're making a lot of people proud. You have more positivity than negativity, and that is an excellent thing.

[@mrtdiver]

You mentioned the Dealership. The stealership doesn't have time for your petty problems. haha. When I seen the BUILD YOUR DREAM on the wall I immediately thought of BYD (Build your dreams) the Chinese car manufacture. I've spent a lot of time trying to figure out the best engine oils. some quality engine oils - Amsoil signature series ($$$$), Redline ($$$), Pennzoil Ultra Platinum ($$). If it's calling for 5W-40 - Red line makes a 0W-40. Red Line 11105 0W40 Synthetic Motor Oil - Gallon $65.62 FREE delivery for Prime members Also Pennzoil Ultra Platinum makes: 0W40 Motor Oil

Doesn't the frame rails to the carbon tub require panel bond? Use the pulley on the comealong, it doubles the pulling power and makes it easier to move the car. If you had 3 pullies it would make it 3x easier!
