Restoring A Cheap Neglected Tesla Roadster To Make A MASSIVE Profit
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In this episode of Art Of The Flip, we buy a very neglected 2010 Tesla Roadster, but it's not just any Tesla Roadster - it's a Japanese import that was one of the first 12 that were exported to Japan, a batch of cars known as the "Signature 12." It also only has 5,000 original miles on it, so if we can get this looking presentable, it may return an absolutely insane profit.
But there's a lot of work before that happens.

    This was a detailing video, and what we really like is fixing stuff videos. How did you fixed the charging issue? Why Rex removed the dashboard? That’s what’s interesting

    YOU CAN LITERALLY EAT OFF OF THE SURFACE LEFT OVER! Yeah...that's how soap works too, man. The "molecular level" dry ice cleans to isn't different than the level any other surfactant cleans to.

    Nice work guys - but I’m perplexed, why bother with the cleaning efforts BEFORE removing the film? Surely a waste of time and resources!

    Hey guys, you should get in touch with Baumgartner Restoration, he restores paintings on an insane level!! Knows all about solvents as well. He’ll surely be able to give you some ideas about the PPE.. Good luck with the channel!

  • @jdub6909
    @jdub6909 Місяць тому

    I would hand wash from top of the wheel well around the car and above. Light rinse. Then hand washing below that line to avoid any chance of dragging debris from the road accros the upper surface of the car.

  • @jdub6909
    @jdub6909 Місяць тому

    Why not remove the wheels to better detail them and inspect the brakes and suspension? Most cannot afford to dry ice their cars.

  • @SniperSnake50BMG

    It's a shame that people are full of bullsh1t, specially American car culture. The stuff you said just at the beginning about value are FUD spread by media to fulfill they agendas that your gracefully swallowed where the truth is that they devalue just like any other car. Coming from a former petrolhead is kinda sad seeing these dudes talking nonsense and not opening their minds to the changing world. PS: thanks for restoring this PIECE OF AUTOMOTIVE HISTORY. I don't care a Fu*k about disagree with me. Have fun trashing the comment.

    You mention period correct radio, but looking through period blog posts, it looks like 7" Alpine VIE-X08S infotainment WAS the factory unit for the car. Foreign made infotainment in Japan is still sketchy, so a lot of imported cars had aftermarket units as the stock back in 2010. Tesla back then was absolutely one of many such brands.
