You are the picture of patience. You didn't throw anything. Leaks are just a life altering aggravation. Great job, great video.
Not on camera anyway 🤣
@@SavingSalvage 30:10 is there a torq missing from the sump chap? Third from right as your looking from front bumper
@@elvis9990 I noticed that aswell
They must cost a lot and so time-consuming.
Absolutely hate black “invisible” wheels!! Unbelievable condition for a 17 year old car though 😁
Was looking forward to this video. Dean, as always just fantastic! Thanks so much for all of your work both on the cars and of course the cameras and editing as well!
Great tenacity and temperament coupled with true grit to get through that! Brilliant job, Dean. Well done. Look forward to seeing the next one.
If you need to re-thread anything that carries fluid, consider timeserts with a small about of sealant instead of helicoil as fluids can easily move between the inner and outer threads making it more likely to leak, especially for a fixing that has to be removed and replaced regularly.
I once had to drill an engine block to pick up a water gallery in and out for a water to oil cooler. It made a terrible mess with helicoils.
Mate you took the leaks so well even on camera 😂 I would have been cursing big time! Now I’m hoping the next big project is the long overdue TVR? Please say yes 😃
Oooooohhhh! That sealant failure must have made you cry😢 but she's looking sweet Dean. Great job.
Fantastic work. I felt your stress, you’ve done a great job and you can hear the exhaust on the video…sounded lovely.
I feel for you, a never ending leak, but patience is a virtue and you’ve surpassed yourself. If, on the other hand, you’ve lost it and you wouldn’t have sorted it and it would have gone way too wrong. Kudos to you and great work.
Neat job Dean. I'm not a fan of heli coils - I had too many come out on the end of the plug! My favourite is Timesert by Wurth. Looks like a lovely car and one someone will get a great deal of pleasure driving. Not me though - my back won't get me out of it!😄😂
Nice Work, Dean. You will be glad to see the back of this R8. Massive amount of time and work went into this beast. 💯👏👏👏 🇮🇪
Chinese loctite , we use Wynns sealant and never had issue , oil, water , hot ,cold the lot, good luck for the future Dean
Great Job Bud 👍👍Your work on the Audi is fantastic 👍👍The dry ice was a great job 👍👍
Dude! I love your content soooo much!!
love watching your videos, can't wait to see the new project
It's a joy watching somebody who knows his onions! from a retired engineer, well-done mate!
Excellent! Congrats for your persistence and patience. Watch out for those varicose veins on your legs!!
Brilliant. Vidéos Dean, really felt for you when you had recurring fluid leaks, but your skill and tenacity showed through and the problems were solved. This really is a set of videos that would win an Oscar in the category of classic motors rebuilding 😂 👍🇬🇧😎
Great video always wondered what happened to this so much work went into this car 💪
"Wettest dry sump ever" 😂
Wow perseverance to the max well done another great car done by you great video
I had a huge bong after the bung leak was done! Congratiulations (You earned the full word!) I only hope the new project is worth it- You weren´t the first one having seller´s regret syndrom... I had (still have) regrets on selling my first guitar wich happened to be an old Fender Strat. I was clueless at the time (1993) but now I´ll never have one again. Too broke for that. Sigh.
That ice blasters have done an amazing job ' the Audi looks well mint now 👍
Yet another cracking video dean. ❤. Audi expertise at its best. Cheers Dean top man.😮😅
Amazing results from that dry icing Dean. Made it look almost new.
Should’ve waited for the job to be finished with the leaks n all
Fantastic result, and lots of patience, another classic car saved.
👌
That is one of the nicest cars you have saved
Well done for persevering Dean, but so brave to change oil in a light coloured top! 😲👍
Can’t wait for the new reveal!!! Awesome job on the Audi!
Great job Dean, car looks awesome. I'm definitely buying a ticket or two.
Hi Dean, loved the show, Audi R8 my dream car, don’t usually enter comps, but I just have to 😂
Nice project is coming to a end ! Well done and this car looking almost brand new to me. However for my personal i don t understand why Audi , s are so call premium cars, because what i reed and hearing that there are many problems with electric and oil leaks.... So for me no Audi ! But this car is back on the road and that is the important part of this project ! Nice Job !!!
Seen the newer R8 in the background, could that be the new project? :) Great vids brother!
Dean, you made that tapping difficult by not securing the plate to the bench, however well done, got it done mate!
One of my favorite Audis
Same especially with that gated manual which is something you don’t get anymore these days.
Love your videos. just wish I had the time and knowhow to try a project myself 👍
great content as usual !
Well done on getting it finished. I would love an R8 in a light metallic colour.
Got my tickets, definitely a future classic. Lovely cars
Great job as always Dean. Can’t wait to drive it. I’m due a win at some point 🏎️🏎️🏎️🏎️
Waw it looks so good Dean its like a fiew month old car looking at the underneath of it shame about that little leak you found man the car is amazing dean looks bloody lovely clean as hell scrubbed up well man lol 🤣 nice bro like the video man for real!... ✨👌✨👌👍👍👍
sick rebuild you do some of the best work on youtube rebuilding crashed and salvage cars
Thanks bud!
Beautiful car....great to see it looking so good. So pleased you didn't buy a set of black Audi rings for it....Yes, it needs silver wheels IMO....🤔😏😀🇬🇧
Its was a challenge this time, leaks all over the place, but you took it on the chin and got on with it, well done.
Tremendous Dean. Agreed the R8 looks amazing.
Hi Dean, this car loves to leak. But thank God it's finished now. Great job, bro. What's next? Austin Martin, Ferrari??. I can't wait lol. Thanks for all your hard work, mate. 💯👏👏👏🇮🇪
Dean..good video you don't cut anything if you mess with cars/bikes engine's that's how they go sometimes..it looks mint..for the year what a car..a keeper..will be going up in valve..give it 10 years..they maybe a 50 60k car..👌
Thanks 👍
Great video and car looks superb. 👍👍👍😊
Good series - the leaks just added to the whole experience of car ownership. But Dean man you now need a cameraman asap.
That dry ice is gangsta 💯
Those leaks would have driven me bonkers I would have gone all Basil Fawlty😂 Car looks amazing although needs silver wheels really. You have done a cracking job on this one bet you will be sorry to see it go.
Looks bloody mint
Patience of a Saint!
Fantastic job car looks brilliant 👌
It’s London ULEZ compliant too yay 🥳
Great video the car looks awesome but i would like you to do a mk1 golf with a vr6 engine that would be good 👍🏻
Great job👍🏻patients of a saint😄
You are single-handedly saving the used car market 👏🏼👏🏼
That engine bay looks brand new!
Looks epic 👍
Tickets bought! Car looks incredible
Immaculate …feel you Chief!!
27:30 With a manual transmission it's not going to blow up if you'r losing some fluid from it and driving it even a long way. Even if you have lost ALL of the fluid from it and still need to get to a shop or home you can drive it sensibly for many miles to get there and not have a big worry. It's not like an Automatic where the fluid is a must for the clutches and torque converter etc.
Got my tickets for this one 🤞 you did well not to lose the plot with chasing leaks!
On this occasion I'll pass on the raffle 😂 A train crash waiting to happen, good work though.
@@melvinphillips786 there’s a £25k cash alternative 🙌🏼😉
Thanks for passing gives me a better chance
@@SavingSalvage all paid in one penny pieces with holes predrilled to use as a sump plug washers? 😂🤣
What a nightmare, well done dean for patience and sorting it out
Oh the joy of stressing to get a car ready for an mot, brings back so many memories😂
Beautiful!
Well done Dean.
I know how ya feel totally. It's an emotional roller coaster when trying to deal with coolant and oil leak fixes!! AHHH!!
Thanks ben mcwankshaft, looks great.👍
see the ice blasters all the time tavarish having the p1 done seems to have made the process popular over here with uk youtubers never used to see it before
I've been lucky enough to drive a manual V8 R8. Words cannot describe how epic it sounds
I had a problems with different sealants not working right I use Wurth brand sealant now and never had an issue since
I had the same problem with loctite sealant on a transit timing chain cover
Nice dry ice transformation of the car. Frustrating oil and water leaks. Looks a great car.
I had exactly the same issue with locktite sealant. It dissolved in the same way.
she is a beast defo getting some tickets
Great video. I thought you had a blue R8 anyway?
Nice to know that someone managed to shaft webuyanycar for once. Gotta say I agree the R8 would look better with silver wheels. But sweet car all the same.
Great build lovely car. I would have smashed the sump with a hammer. Great job.
Great job.
Love that buy any car got humped 😅 usally the other way round. Will buy tickets for it
Love your content. All the way from South Africa 🇿🇦 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
Hondabond or Yamabond everything! Oh, and watch Allen Millyard about assembling techniques. For some reason he can make everything leak free and perfect.
Did you check the expiry date of the sealant? These products degrade after time or if not stored in correct temps.
The R8 looks great Dean....i Just see the GTR in the background whats happening with it
That’s annoying with the oil leaks. I find with vw group cars that the white sealant from the dealer is the best to use. Expensive but worth it
Bolts holding the underside of the rear bumper need replacing those horrible crusty one ruin the rest of this immaculate machine 👍 good work
Someone I know done the same with an S4….. engine was goosed and they took it to WBAC and he got a decent sum from them,it went to auction and reappeared on Audi pages on FB for £19k and it’s now down to £13k as no one will buy it
All good cheers mate
What a twot that is Dean 23:54
Patience of a Saint Dean! Sealant does have a shelf life though, does it have a date on it? Entered!!!
You got a crazy amount of spiders at your unit and the containers 🕷️🕷️🕷️🕸️🕸️🕸️😂😂😂😂
Some gasket sealers if you buy them online are fake, so always go with name brand from name brand shops i use Wynns from euros normally, not had an issue
Fantastic job
Thank you! Cheers!
Did ya brake the tangs of the helicoils,, it didnt look like you did, and stop waisting mot slots😂😂 keep up the good work
Use Hondabond mate my goto for sealing sumps
Your new project is a gray new shape Audi r8 I think as that’s what I seen in back ground I hope so
You're using the same crap helicoils as i do.
I've been having to use red loctite with the helicoil to avoid them retracting out.
Genuinely stronger though.
