The CHINESE BODY KIT for the $38,500 MCLAREN is FINALLY HERE! (PART 5)

[@CharlottesRefugeInc]

Seriously couldn't be more proud of Ryan ❤ you both are doing amazing things! I'm so glad y'all can benefit from each others friendship and skills!!! I'm one lucky chick to have Ryan in my life. He's such an inspiration. ❤

Amazing guy. Glad to have met both you and him 💯

@@TheInja agreed 💯 ☺️

[@coolissimo69]

I do t know how I missed this video The body kit looks killer.Great work Inja.

[@Chris-cz6hn]

too late but invest in either some heat shrink tubing to use in place of electrical tape, also they have self soldering heat shrinking connectors for splicing that work just awesome, might be a bit much for the smaller wires but it gives you such a better and water resistant result its well worth it... Don't use electrical tape on wiring harness on a 100k vehicle save that for the cheap 4 bangers...

[@douglassloan6831]

Dude, I owned a 650s for several years. Best car I ever had. What a beast. Great job on the build,. Those cars are so sophisticated and it takes a really sharp mind to work on them. Awesome!

[@TheInja]

Very cool! Can't wait to drive this thing for the first time!

[@BusBoulevard-mo5go]

I believe you’re really going to make it, you have a great attitude very positive. Your commentary is very interesting. Your videos are long and that’s what we need. We don’t want short videos especially building cars like McLaren s well done. Keep up the good work I subscribed to you

Really looking good can’t wait to see the finished product! Word of advice when using screw extractors it’s best to start off using your hand tools to first get them started than after you know for sure they are coming out than switch to power tools if you want.

Keep Ryan around... wiring is my expertise as well. I know how hard it is to find someone who knows how to properly fix automotive wiring. I am amazing at building entire new harnesses that look OEM.... remember check the oil First. 😂

Lol!! Thanks! 😂

Yeah he's a good guy. Coming to help fix the wiring this week!

Awesome!! White & black always look great!

[@belledetector]

With regards to the skid plate, you can just reinforce it with some carbon cloth and resin. Will be a fun little project.

[@TheInja]

Yeah, might be a good piece to learn carbon skinning!

[@salzar4431]

The acid in old lead acid batteries is good for removing corrosion from blackened copper wires. Worth saving some before scrapping an old battery.

[@truetech4158]

That sounds interesting, though probably if to also completely remove the acid afterwords with some type of neutralizing treatment if it could risk acidic etching, and some plastics of wire coatings might get ingress easily chipping or cracking similar to what UV can do over time to materials? Water could reduce the PH, though might be a corrosion concern if any moisture, so if thats the case then maybe a mineral oil instead due to the nature of metals. #SebaciousOils

[@TheInja]

Or I could just sandpaper it and pray blessing from the good Lord onto the solder

[@salzar4431]

Probably best to keep the insulation out of the acid, neutralise with salt solution, rinse with water then blot dry, Never would have thought of using sandpaper on multi strand wire.@@truetech4158

I disagree with all the Chinese-parts haters. As long as they bolt up fine, it's expected to do some body work

[@EDV8ZR1]

Next part we bought a Chinese Lithium Battery for the car. Hope it goes well?

[@izzieb]

​@@EDV8ZR1China produces 13% of the world's raw lithium supply and 58% of the world's processed lithium products like batteries... so most batteries will be Chinese no matter what logo or marketing that others slap on.

[@EDV8ZR1]

Time to send the kids in the Cobalt and nickel mines then I guess. Yeah obvious joke.

[@TheInja]

I have the same sentiment. You can get some good stuff for great prices. You can also get burned. Just gotta weed out the scammy companies and the ones that have poor quality control.

[@MikeMurphyinc]

@@TheInja exactly! My first thought was why don't you just make your own parts out of fiberglass 😂

[@lasersterling]

I hope that body kit is fitting the way you want because it looks the business! We can always 3D print you one. 🤣 Awesome progress brother, and trust me I know about all the little things that slow you down.

[@gregoryh4601]

Hello Ryan. So awesome to see your rebuild coming along together.. are you having any problems returning parts yet ? How the steering system doing?

[@g3user1usa]

I like the small details of Inja's rebuilds. That's why I also like watching Samcrac resolve small problems which are just as important as the bigger problems. It's all part of the rebuild. This is a really enjoyable project to watch. No complaints about the shortcuts to save some time and money. It's the Inja's money and he is trying to keep a budget. I'm hoping everything goes smoothly with the body parts and that windshield. I'm a bit concerned about the wiring as he doesn't have any schematics to work with. I suppose his new friend can help him out. I don't want any shorts melting the wiring harness and such. Such a fine project and I can't wait to see how it turns out. McLarens look nice but they seem so fragile and finicky. I wish the Inja the best of luck with that car.

[@TheInja]

Appreciate you. 💯

[@martyndyson9501]

To make it extra clean i would get some black mat spray paint and mask off then spray it so it looks super clean, you can also get that clear spray that puts a thin clear film of waterproof material, it drys so you can't really tell its there but its great protection, you can do all the underneath of the car too, the frame, wheel arches, if you prefer it to look totally oem that is. But i do like a nice clean, colourful engine bay or in this case front end sub frame

A good coating would be that stuff you can brush on or dip, such as the material that could resist rockchips and road salt etc, you know that stuff thats on the handgrips of your needlenose pliers? Also, can do small scale powdercoating ideal for surfaces that deal with flying debris or abrasion. Improve upon something that is already innovative such as for longevity within affordability.

[@TheInja]

For sure!

A trick when you solder again use heat shrink tubing. You put the tubing first the solder the connections and then shrink it over the joint it's better than electrical tape.

[@TheInja]

I tried, but the wires were too short to put it on before soldering. If you look closely, you can see the first piece shrunk around the wire. Haha

[@martinbonomo1707]

Those hoses look quite a bit larger than the original metal coolant lines. Plus the original lines had curves and angle formed in so they would fit in the tight space. You may have issues fitting those hoses when everything else goes back in.

[@TheInja]

Outside diameter is definitely thicker, inside diameter is the same. Fitment should be fine. We'll make it would if nothing else!

[@mrtdiver]

Haven't finished the vid. yet, but if you have a label maker I would label those cables as you discover what they are. For soldering use a wet sponge. If you don't have a sponge use an old damp rag, but ring out most the water. Clean the iron tip periodically by wiping on the wet sponge. Keep it freshly tinned. works better; lasts longer. Research and use the right antifreeze. There are all different colors. But you probably know that. That is great your neighbor helped out.

Sam (The Samuel) Krac mentioned of getting a vehicle that had undisclosed concerns within a copart purchase, and interesting was how he worded it to not risk potential legal problems by nefarious vultures with crooked beaks in 3pc suits. He was able to get his point across in a public manner, a form of freedom of speech but layman's terms should not be bought and sold to the highest bidder causing people to have to speak in hypotheticals. Transparency is most ideal.

[@TheRealAlpha2]

Honestly, I'd be surprised of _any_ 3rd party made body panels didn't need at least a little bit of adjustment, supercar or not. A car is mostly pumps pipes and gears at least until you get to the electronics so i don't see this being a problem if you know which pipe goes where. Although I might feel a little concerned about whether the rubber hoses will be as sturdy as the metal pipes they're replacing... But I'd imagine they might be easier to replace if it needs to be done at all.

[@TheInja]

For sure! In regards to pipe strength, all the coolant lines turn into hoses anyway, won't be too much of a weak point adding a couple more inches of hose to the lines. Thanks the hope!
