I really appreciate how genuinely thankful you come off about having the opportunity to own something like this, so many other UA-camrs sound like they feel like they have to say it to not come off like a snob but pretty sure off camera they likely are. I hope you can get this up and running without many more issues. Also I would ask around and find someone with a scanner that can read that car, I bet it could open the lid if you got one
Appreciate that. Actually just bought a nice scanner that has McLaren in it, so next video we'll read some faults!
Great video and stay with it. Matt Armstrong started on his own driveway, in cold British weather, with no ramps and doing another full time job. Stay with it #HWBT
I just subscribed only for the fact that you seem so humble and not like a lot of the car content on UA-cam. I'm excited for you so "Let's Go!"
no shit same here.and turns out it's a good channel.
glad dude wasn't a prick
Yeah same, I just ignored the Goonsquad t shirt and got on with it.
Same here man. I aspire to be like this dude when I eventually get a maclaren project car😄.
If I were you, I’d be finding a service manual for the car, so you can start figuring out the wiring issues, maybe see how the engine cover latch could be accessed, and more. A manual is probably not going to be easy (or cheap) to find because McLarens are pretty rare cars, but I think it’d be a good investment in the long run. I know that you want to hear the car run and see if it’ll drive, but take it a small step at a time and you’ll get there. Cool car, you deserve to have it be a part of your fleet!
Check every single wire for breakages
Ernesto is a champion, and very skilled. Hope you bought him a coffee, or a sandwich for going above and beyond like that. Cheers from Canada.
Tipped that man, who refused, but I insisted. Haha. Good guy.
The color on this 650s is just stunning especially when the sun hits it, I hope the engine is all good so you can continue focusing on the front end. Looking forward to the next part!
I felt the same joy when I bought my 1st diesel. Wrecked 04 dodge ram 2500 w/ 24 v Cummins! I get it.... now she is fixed and running, worth it!
New subscriber here! I'm excited to follow this build.
Little bit of my history.
I was born in Woking Surrey England. Less than 1/2 a mile away from my childhood home was the original McLaren workshop. Walked past many times to see and hear the F1 cars.
Back then, there was a mushroom farm about 2 miles away. It was called Mizzens farm. It closed down.
McLaren bought that farm, flattened it and built the factory it is now.
Hence, every time I hear someone say I've got a McLaren, I think, oh a car build on a mushroom farm. Lol.
Very interesting!
Wow, very interesting 👍
love from India! We cant wait for you to get this beauty up and running, Part of this journey with you. All the best! Much love
Glad to have you, thanks brother!
This is the first time I have ever watch this guy's channel and I really like that he seems genuinely appreciative of what he has. Wishing him the best!
Hey inja, great content ! I know Mat Armstrong had to input the vehicle as a Mercedes 600 or something on his autel in order to get it to read and from there he was able to access it. Hope this helps
Interesting! I'll give that a shot.
I subscribed at the 6 min mark when your humble personality came through, good on ya bro.
Alright, don't let us hangin in here for too long to see the 2nd part. It's so exciting, srsly. Perhaps you'll get it to run somehow
New video in the works right now!
Heck yeah! This is going to be awesome to see as your next build.
Can't wait to tear more into it!! 🙌🏽
I checked if I was subscribed. Yes sir, this is going to be an interesting build.
Good luck on the build project...
Cheers to the driver Ernesto. Never saw this channel before, but dude you're under 30 and own a McLaren !
A bit of steam should restore the foam in the seats back to original shape and the leather too. The car will look amazing finished that colour is unreal will be so nice in the sunshine
that truck driver was a class act.
Good guy.
Worse comes to worst - call Tavarish. He knows everything about these cars. :D
Facts!
This is not a cheap Mcclaren to me it's a dream car to me and
I hope this leads to your hydraulic lift for the cars in the future can't wait to see this engine running 👏🏽
Absolutely! Can't wait to get this thing fixed up!!
Massive respect doing this in your driveway, will be following with great interest. Good luck .
Make sure to smash that like button if you can!! Trying to get the builds back in the algorithm!! 👊🏽
Well I hope this works out well.
This Gamble trying to repair this car.
🏆
Smashed👊
Done. Good luck man :)
If you need help
Over next 2 days I'll watch all your stuff and like them for you I'm new to channel so probably good thing the algorithm done it cause I never seen ya before.
I'm so stoked for you bro!! That's the dream to find a nice car you love that cheap!
Absolute best wishes Brother!
"I'm frustrated..." Dude, you bought a wrecked McLaren, the frustration has only just begun......
Hahaha facts 😂
One of your best videos. Totally riveting from start to sudden ending. Keep at it brother! Oh and given what you spend on these things, get yourself a garage lift.
Blimey! The finest delivery man ever.
Good guy! 💯
Måste bara säga att du håller en särskild klass när det kommer till att skapa content, verkligen världsklass! 👍
Starting from some cheap electric motorcycle I have to say it's fantastic trip done 😊
Everyone knows the first thing to do is clean the car. Who cares if it runs…it has to look as good as possible!!!! That’s what gives us the energy to then make it run good!!!
Love your, "just go for it mentality". You should follow and check out some of the videos from Matt Armstrong related to his rebuilds. I watched the section of your video which covered your purchased of the entire "pyro" mechanism. Apparently you spent a ton for this and it wasn't completely usable in your build. You then commented, you could have purchased the single Mercedes fuse for around $20. Matt Armstrong covered this about a year ago in one of his videos. I'm sure you looking to save where you can.
already watched all Mat's, Tavarish, DDEs, and vTuned McLaren projects! Learned a lot along the way, and lots of applicable knowledge from theirs, but none of theirs are 650S, so a lot of it here is trial-and-error. :)
Wow, Tesla trunk liner really takes the cake! Looks like a fun project
Yeah, looking forward to that sweet first drive soon!
Türkiye’deki sigortadan alınan arabalardaki makyajlara işinin aynısında Amerika’da yapıldığını duyunca çok mutlu oldum yalnız değiliz
I like that ploishing the car when the front is a wreck.
Better than working on a filthy car!
Balls of Steel….good luck and smash it💪
Give Mat Armstrong a follow, would have saved abit with the pyro fuse etc 🙌
Been following him for a long time. Ordered the fuse first thing having already watched his McLaren content before buying this one!
You are now seeing why I have told everyone I know that I want a 67 Mercury Cougar at the same price that you paid for this car ! And the one I am looking at only has 300 actual miles on it. The major plus to the Cougar is that it doesn't have all of the electronic issues !
Fantastic achievement Dan.
My first time to your channel love that your more back to basics
Euro spares in the UK is now breaking and selling McLaren parts. Well worth like taking a look. Car vertical can provide detailed history . Good luck and your risk reaps you the rewards you deserve.
Appreciate it, dude! Thank you!
Wow great project! I had a smile on my face when I saw you so happy about the car
I have to admit the Tesla trunk liner fit pretty well. 😂😂😂
I just subscribed because you mentioned Mat Armstrong xD and a Mclaren always makes me smile!
Hey, even Tavarish starting fixing supercars in his driveway... although I think he eventually got a lift put in, but still. The paint color is gorgeouse I hope who ever paints it can match that. My big fear seeing this is that the engine has unseen damage from the crash. Some of the repairs of I've seen on V-tuned tell me it could look perfectly fine but things like frame rails could be off by tiny amounts that screw up the balance of the car. Just things to think about, not that you don't already have plenty.
Yeah, I've been watching all the McLarens on UA-cam! Got a lot of good insight from Tavarish, Mat, DDE, and the vTuned series 🙌🏽
@@TheInja It's as good as fixed then. You got this!
@@TheRealAlpha2 Absolutely. Thanks a ton brother!! Lots has developed since this video!!
Things will work a lot better with 12.5 on the battery. Hook the wires up.
Awesome car I hope you have the money or skill to fix it up and don't let the zero to 60 get to your head that's what got it in that condition to begin with (meaning just do it right)
Sometimes in electronics, the hand switches and buttons are switching ground instead of power. You probably need to to beg, borrow, or steal a service manual for this car. Having a wiring diagram would make chasing gremlins allot easier. Good luck.
For sure.
Bro, your Positive Vibe is so contagious. Thanks 🙏, and the best wishes for your project. 🇵🇷 🇵🇷 🇵🇷….
Gotta support these Cali builds! Good luck and I’m onboard. Rebuilding a 996 and I just eat videos like this up.
Glad to have you! Good luck on the 996! Feel free to send me photos as it progresses 💯 injamotorcycles@gmail.com
I wouldn’t clean it lol just discovered ya Chanel will be following this project
Haha! Glad to have your eyeballs with us on the build! 👀 Welcome
remember that tavarish said that the oem battery costs 2k so be careful with this one
What a humble guy! New sub here from the UK. Can’t wait to see the progress. 👊🏼
Glad to have you! 👊🏽
Thank you for doing this! Awesome!
After seeing that fat cut multi-wire cable against the left chassis rail at time 16:40 I wouldn't be surprised at anything electrical that doesn't work.
That's true.
38k? holy shit that awesome buy it and fix it that shit cost alot anyway
Driven Daily Exotics 😂😂😂 almost got it! Lol made me chuckle bro
Congrats with this project, can't wait to see you grow into more exotic cars. Don't forget all the other successful dudes started humble with cheap European cars
I feel u bro.But u have to prepare the expenses.Good luck
Cracked windshield can indicate that the car is twisted and got some serious structural damage. Will be interesting to see what you'll have to do to get this on the road again. I wish you luck!
Congratulations on the 650s! Perfect color
Thanks dawg!
❤
You have every reason to be happy and prpud for it is not any lrss than tbe other great onrs. Well done.
I'm having a blast watching you. 32:15 I gotta go it's getting good. Hahaha
Hi, loving the video. Regarding the computer connection to the McLaren, if you enter it as A Mercedes AMG, I can’t remember the exact model, as the engine and wiring look is Mercedes it should find it. I hope that works.
It is what it is mate. Very good luck with it 👌
What a great video. Looking forward to seeing more. Cheers mate.
Enjoyed your video. British car and electrical problems. Thats an old story. Truly, good luck. I'll keep watching, also pressed all the buttons
You could probably strip it for parts and make more than $40,000 or close to getting your money back, it might take you 12/24 month but it wouldn't be a total loss... obviously spending some cash on it and a full refund with maybe sone mods and your own twist on a new spec, that could easily give you a great sports car or double your money. Will be interesting to watch what happens...
you need a mclaren scanner. They do not scan with other scanners. If you are in SoCal you can have a tech come to you and scan it. I can send you a tech info.
It sure is an amazing colour!
I love the style you record its super raw and reminds me of how I do it. Keep it like this the authenticity of it is way more entertaining in my opinion! Good luck on the build this will be a sick one
Thanks dude!
damn youre goign some baller shit! ive been watching tons of matt armstrong videos because its cool to see people bring cars back to life. i'll be watching this!
Glad to have you!! 👊🏽👊🏽
Congratulations. It's beautiful 😍 👌.
£46k sold in the uk
Dude I’m so happy for u I’m gonna subscribe ❤😊
Hopefully you tip that driver well for doing all the extra work!
Strikes me, you two are very talented and could fine jobs down there to provide bridge financing to postpone the need of making any draconian decisions.
No idea of opportunities might be available to you, but that seems to be something for you to investigate.
In Matt Armstrong's McLaren series, doesn't the car Autel respond to Mercedes?
Maybe you find this out in Pt 2..
Wait till you found out how much Velcro they use to secure the interior parts to the tub
Looking forward to not breaking 103 plastic clips 😏
I just join you and I to brought a Vehicle from Copart but mind came from a Auto Sales Shop and wish I saw this Three weeks ago because the Photos were not the same that I receive my Porsche. Also I have a few more code alarms. Just would not help me to hire an inspector because the Seller cover up all the Damage like in the photos. Good luck and I will be watching and catching up on your Project videos. Bye. Gory
your car is in safe mode you need the right mclaren battery look up when mclaren battery go flat there is ways to fixs it but you do not have 1 that battery cost like 4-6k
Oh shit this car used to live in my town it’s a shame I can’t post a picture of it on here in all her glory
Now, maybe, we know why McLaren can't do better in F1, judging from the design flaws in this beautiful car...
That's a gorgeous red on that Mclaren. You should keep it the color it is 👍
That's the plan!
@@TheInja I'm watching all your videos now on it, on video #3 right now while driving home lol
@@That_Stinger_GT5 drive safe and hope you're loving the series!
@@TheInja definitely! And thank you 🙏
Lithium batteries are no good in cold areas. I had one, and when ever the temperature dropped below -3°C there was not enough power to turn the engine over.
Battery warmer blanket.
Try ordering the release part or key
I wish your brother had boxed up the Chinese "Supercar" and had that prank delivered lol. Good luck!
LOLLLLLLLLL 💀💀💀💀
You said it , money doesn't buy brains !!!!
True
Inja, geat stuff mate, looking forward to your journey
Thanks Glenn! 💯
DDE (Daily Driven Exotics) has been rebuilding a MacClaren 720 for months. They have the same electronic and battery issues youve had. You can tell Mike Essa hates working on it. Maybe check out a few of their videos to pick up a few tips and tricks. Some of them are on the DDE stories channel, some are on the main channel. Good luck! Ill be following your build, and smashing that like button. 😎🤘🏼
Thanks a ton dude! Been following DDE for a long time and enjoyed their McLaren content so far! Very informative for the weird quirks of McLaren.
@@TheInja nice. The seat module controversy set my teeth on edge. That's one of the huge red flags I'd have about buying a MacClaren with a salvaged title. They won't do the most basic thing for you. Or even sell you seats. Worse come to worse, you can part it out for more than you paid for it.
man i love these long type of videos!
Lots more coming your way 😏
See if you search for Mercedes in your Aut. Matt Armstrong did that and it recognised the car (I think)
If I'm not mistaken, McLaren use a 16v battery.
Nope, it's a 12v nominal lithium battery (13.8v fully charged)
Just a humble suggestion-- NAPHTHA “lighter fluid” is the single best adhesive remover! It evaporates fast so it’s not too hard on paint at all. I’ve used it on my cars and on a mountain bike that had been stolen and then covered in stickers to camouflage it I guess. Used lighter fluid on the whole matte black frame and it looks beautiful to this day!! 🤜🤛
Looking good man! Seems like a decent score. Hopefully the gritty oil at the end is something not too yikes worthy..
Yeah, I think it's just wayyyy past service interval. Hopefully just needs a fresh oil change and some coolant to run!
Use a Mercedes vehicle in the autel settings, matt Armstrong tip 28:20
YO LETS BRO BROTHER !!!!!
ITS THE SCOTTISH VALETER /DETAILER ❤🎉🫶🏻
If you have the wrong battery you will have problems starting and opening engine room. This is normal with cars and if you don’t have lithium battery
Any tuner should be to disable the pats system. I had mine disabled
The pats system isn't the issue here I don't think. 👌🏽
