The Ugly Truth About Rebuilding My Abandoned Lamborghini Aventador (NOT CHEAP)

[@johnsonrepp]

Hello . I make full body panels for the Aventador. SV, SVJ, S, all of them. Even a few types of custom kits. Unlike most companies, we guarantee fitment. We offer all of our parts in carbon fiber. I will happily work with you on this project.

[@Dee-gu5up]

Proof?

[@johnsonrepp]

@@Dee-gu5up can’t post a link on a comment section. If there is anyway to show people, let me know. We also own a few other popular parts websites for Bentley’s and Nissan Skyline. The Lamborghini and Rolls-Royce are new ventures for us as of late, yet we have 10 years in the business of making body panels and bumpers. We are a 3D imaging and parts production company inherently.

Take your time my brother. I’m building a special gift for my mom. She’s always wanted a convertible and now since I can finally afford it, I bought her a salvage one which I’m rebuilding.

Please keep the videos coming on a Sunday, as you know the UK lost top gear at 8pm and now this fills my motoring addiction

[@24gunsinc]

So Freddy, now that you’ve showed us how expensive it is to do OEM body panel replacements on the next video you can show us that there’s an aftermarket option which so happens to be made by the same company that made your McLaren aftermarket body work and that’s how you work a deal out with him to get the body panels for the McLaren for free and the Lamborghini and also help promote his business on the backend. Nice work great marketing!

[@Nickkhan802]

yeah, the economics behind this build does not really add up otherwise

[@Key-j5o]

Considering the amount of problems the P1 shell has given him after a guarantee of a good fit, I am not sure he will be using the same company.

[@That_Car_Channel]

Don’t worry with blood, sweat, tears, and money, and Jack being there randomly it will be done.😊

[@Eric-tg9ss]

17 year tech here and i gotta say it, Jack is right! the subframe is not a body panel.. its a type of frame, indicated by its name lol. body panels are any exterior *removable* panel. any fixed panels like the roof of a camry, for example, are part of the unibody. the unibody includes the front and rear frame horns, floor, all the pillars, roof and rear quarters. body panels are doors, hood, trunk, bumpers, fenders etc.

[@RobEsselens]

[@andreaskallis1706]

Hasn’t Stradman rencently put a full carbon kit on one of his Aventadors…meaning he’ll have all the original panels spare👀

[@patrickbrooks1496]

Love it have been watching you for several years now need more cartrek some day

[@MuscleJack-lq3cf]

Freddie, take the car to a Lambo service and have a list prepared by authorized people. Also instead of converting the car to stock, buy an ultra wide bodykit which is aftermarket and has very good fitment while the car is still a skeleton. One of the best of them is Duke Dynamics. A fully carbon Duke Dynamics bodykit with Aventnodoor looks much better than a stock Aventador. I also think the cost will be much cheaper..

[@adrianmorrow9882]

Putting together your shopping list doesn’t make the best viewing but I wish you good luck with the rebuilding. Can’t wait to see the car come together again and run! Love to all! Adrian

[@GazGaryGazza]

It kills me how those promoting Car Vertical have stated numerous times that it’s possible to get damaged vehicles without their history being affected so it’s absolutely zero guarantee if it says it’s clean that it’s never had accident damage - it may well have and then been bodged together and you’re paying full whack.

[@thedirtbag7]

It does still show images of the car if it was photographed in a wreck. Still a big IF, but better than no chance for photos.

[@HereForAStorm]

If it's not reported, there's no way for them to know, hard to hold them guilty for that. I deal with people whining about the same thing with CarFax... it's better than nothing.

[@s2e130]

Some people don't declare damage at all. Then the car "isn't" crashed or damaged, so you're right you may never know.

[@GazGaryGazza]

My issues is the very people selling it as a solution are the ones in previous videos have clearly shown it is NOT a 100% solution, it guarantees nothing and can give you a false sense of security by how they portray car vertical when they are being paid by them for sponsorship of the video. I’d have no issue if they explained it isn’t 100%, it isn’t a guarantee it’s not been in an accident - BUT THEY NEVER DO WHEN ON THE CAR VERTICAL PAY ROLL. That lowers their trustworthiness IMHO, oh and also when they jump at taking the Better Help bucks too

[@thedirtbag7]

@GazGaryGazza fair enough. I work in insurance and see this all the time. Car Vertical relies on their phrasing it as "check to see if any information or photos have been REPORTED". They are only confirming if reports were made, not if the vehicle has had any damage, title, theft, etc.

[@carlubetv]

Hello Freddy, firstly thank you for shaking my hand today, great to meet you. regarding AVENTADOR BODY PANELS, I think I’m right in saying that in the US the cars are more expensive expensive than here in the UK, so are the parts and looking on our British eBay, I think the parts are a lot cheaper. Obviously, that presents an issue with getting the parts back home, but you might save an absolute bomb buying them here .

[@misterzee5736]

was there an event today in the UK?

[@crkproductions5000]

Reach put to TJ, Ed and Amelia. Them being ownerss and precious owners of aventadors they may can help you find parts. Mat would be a HUGE help especially! In his Lambo builds, he cross references a lot of parts and found many parts were actually sharwed Audi/VW parts and skipped the Lambo tax

That top piece you mentioned when talking about the targa top, it's called a "halo" typically in cars with targa tops, the rear "hoop" in which the rear of the targa connects to the body/chassis.

[@_Haris1904]

Get A carbon Fiber SVJ kit from Darwin Pro (comes with Bumpers, Fenders, Hood, Wing, Side skirts, Vents and the Engine cover) which (according to my research) costs around 30-40 grand. As for the doors and other parts (mostly used) its gonna cost around 48 grand, so in total its gonna take around a 115 grand to fix it to perfection.

[@steveseeger]

If you have the computer model of that wing, it's not that hard to 3D print it in chunks using Luban which breaks it up automatically into pieces that fit on a given printer size. Then you just glue/plastic weld it all together and you can make molds in fiberglass and even do it in carbon. Chris @bisforbuild is doing this type of thing right now on his channel. You could even get someone to do it and then pretend it's a real one, I have ideas.
