It's great to try and complete a rebuild project in a short period of time, but I've not once seen a front end damaged car, that was put back together 100% right it's first time. Here's what happens on our Mercedes AMG Rebuild when trying to finish it in just a few days.

Happy Thanksgiving to you and your families!
Same to you buddy
Thanks man! You too. Be safe
how much did you buy it for
wheels look good
You too Sam. Don’t kill the chickens 🐓
Samcrac the type of dude to rebuild his IKEA desk
But 90% of the way and talk about finishing it
'almost' rebuild
Then the Ill-fitting drawer falls out after the first use!
It’s called ikea hacking..
fukin they also got the greatest instructions to assemble their cheap crap they sell... dont get me wrong they got the designs but the cheapest shit there items are made of. also there food i cant believe people eat there if u only new what half that shit is. yikes
100% perfect, elderly owned, all dealer records. I know what I got!
But can't finish it alone true mechanic
@@ClintE55 I don't think Sam ever claimed to be a mechanic.
Alex!!!
Hey Alex would you consider looking over a car for a viewer? I have been itching for a E55 or S55
Then I would like to ask if you think yhese have good reliability drivetrain wise?
How bad would coilover ride on these?
Hey Sam are you looking to sell e55 I’m currently in the market for one.
"Anyone can rebuild a car, all it takes is the right guidance and the right set of tools" well I have those but I seem to be missing something else £$£$£$
First car I bought at Copart was $300. Doesn't take that much to start
Nick Kaye did you buy to flip or keep? how much profit?
Nick Kaye exactly
@@poiiihy 1st car flipped. 1998 540i. Theft/vandalism. $300 winning bid, pure sale Copart Ft Pierce. One owner, 90k. Had two broken vent windows (cost $40ea on the bay). Sold for 3,100 to someone who KNEW how much I paid. Thanks @samcrac !!!
thats true even noobs can work on cars just scan and replace parts, try working on older cars with no scan port , thats alot of fun :D
The owner after the next owner’s gonna be like, “It’s perfect I just gotta replace these dated black wheels with the classic OEM.”
the perils of product placement...
I would be saying that now if I bought it
Normally I'm with this but them stock wheels are ugly, it's weird saying that cuz Benz have great wheels 90% of the time.
I like the stock wheels best
How can someone hate this man, he puts hours and days into his projects and he breaks it down to 20 mins for you to see.
Sam Crac, the only guy I know of that keeps his livestock and his cars in the same field.
Better than Hoovie who locks up his cars in a garage. Sam let's his cars roam free as they please
Sam Lung that’s hilarious. I don’t understand why Hoovie owns so many hoopties and hardly drives them
@@samlung2724 problem is they are all rusting underneath because they are parked on the grass...
M H nah they’re not rusting. No Florida cars ever rust lol.
That track around the 9 minute mark. Awesome song. This video is properly done. Nice work
Sam Crac is the type of guy to complete all of his projects to 90%
Sam, the E55 AMG looks absolutely amazing! Great job on the wheel selection!
You're no rookie! Sometimes it happens to the best of us!
Probably my favorite rebuild project currently. I love these W211 E55s!
Love watching your videos. Love the positive attitude even though it doesn't always turn out a 100%. Love the fact that you can poke fun at yourself and label some fixes as "rookie mistakes" even though you clearly know what you're doing. Just puts me in a great mood. Thanks and keep up the great work!
Sam cracc the type of guy to say "we'll finish it next time".
Yeah to everything.
But do you give any credit for the work that was done on this episode?
@@Samcrac yeah, I would just like a little more transparency as to the finality of the process. I see all these projects on your channel and similar channels that are "finished", but we never really see it happen. I know none of us are entitled to that,but in this whole rebuilding culture, I think it's the main critique.
@@Samcrac - Good point, I saw you working... and it looked good. You are not another Randy (all talk and no ACTION). 🤣👍
@@Samcrac fuck the haters. Amazing job! Big ups from India! 🙌
Not sure why so many people complain when he is so real about his builds while being as helpful as possible any real mechanic certainly has a body guy and a pain guy. And I learn so much from these videos I know most people would like to think this one person dose it all flawlessly but Samcrac is real and it doesn’t get any better than that.
It is nice to see father and son working together.
Gonna tell my kids this was rich rebuilds
@MG Stevens even though I agree that this might be Sam's hobby and probably those cars costs are pocket change for him... I think Taj said rich rebuilds as in Rich from the Rich Rebuilds UA-cam channel, once known as Car Guru
Si, version blanco
Sam, the music is fantastic. You have me grooving
Well done Sam. Really enjoyed the video. Thanks for sharing. You have a talent!
Samcrac: "Just look at the side profile of this car. It looks incredible with those wheel."
Narrator: It does not.
Lol 😂
I agree with you man. And you and auto auction rebuilds showing that anyone can rebuild cars inspired me to start my own channel rebuilding and building cars. Currently I am building a 1971 Buick GS Thank you Sam and randy
I am loving the music in this episode
That body style is my all time favorite E AMG, looks gorgeous!
Spotlights - Rospigg Track at 10:00 for anyone who cares. 👍🏻
Happy thanksgiving!
Disappointed we didn’t get to see that awkward quarter panel screw getting tackled.
Absolutely great Stuff Sam!!! You have me anxious to get started!!!
For all the hard work, samcrac deserves a million subscribers.
I still say it is incredible that you can take all these cars apart and put them back together and they work!! Thanks
It is awesome how good you are getting at rebuilding cars man. Great video
GREAT vid Sam thanks! Amazing car wow.
Keep up the good works ! You make me want to repair/rebuild old cars but I've got no space... Thanks man & Greetings from Belgium!
Please don't forget to add the V8 KOMPRESSOR badge to the right fender from the original one. That makes it look extra badass
I just love and enjoy the way you rebuild your cars, special this beast E55 Amg, wow, watching from Zimbabwe Africa...
I totally agree with you about FCP EURO, those guys are great!! Love the channel brother
4:24 Sam’s Crack
Blink and you’ll miss it
Great work Sam!! The engine sounds sweet!!!!
Fcp always is great. I buy a lot of my passat parts from them. Usually have it next day. Great video. Beautiful amg!
Absolutely love watching you,you are a great man,keep it,big love from BrumCity UK
Man I’ve really noticed myself watching you before any other channel. You’ve really gotten amazing at this UA-cam thing 😉
Sam got some vibey jams no 🧢
Car looks absolutely fantastic! Huge W211 guy, I love how it turned out.
I have always wondered why you haven't invested in a lift to help you out?
I bet he is waiting for Bendpak to hook him up with one free lift
I actually just got a Bendpak Quick Jack! It's a start!
@@Samcrac get the cheap 9k on eBay. You won't regret it.
My two post hoist cost me 2400 AU$, wouldn't be without it.
Great selection of music as usual. Especially noteworthy is the faux “A Tribe Called Quest” Song at 14:56
Love the rebuilding process and the effort on the car, one opinion though would be the black front grill would look better than the white/silver grill, obviously provided that the black grill from the old hud wasn't damaged. Also by the fact that the rims are black in color as well, it will look even better.
Volkswagen Phaeton rebuild coming soon? Really interested.
Why didn’t you use your bouncy castle paint booth?!
Funny, I was prepared to make the same comment while watching them paint. What? No bouncy castle?
Seems like the bouncy castle was a waste of money!
I was going to ask same question
@Daver G He clearly painted it in the shop.
But how can Sam get all that wonderful black paint and clear coat overspray on his items in the shed if he uses the bouncy castle?
Awesome project car and awesome video! Subscribed! 👍🏾
My kids and I love your videos. They are so cool.
Wasn’t that first half of the video just a reupload of the first video you posted after you got this car
I taint Mistaken yo >> I was thinking the same thing.
That’s what I thought! Am I crazy?
Yessss, I was like “I’ve seen this before”
Checked the date twice 🤔
Definitely was/is
I see a few YT'ers say the same thing, how easy it is to do what they do. I for one would like to see @SAMCRAC offer to take a sub by the hand and walk them through a 7 day build. That would be a great vid series (campaign). If they purchased the car and other subs plus sam would pick up the parts cost that would make a true "its so easy for anyone to do, with a little guidance and a good set of tools...." campaigns
Sam 'the bully'crac is back at it again. I'm surprised he actually touched a wrench and didn't fly somebody over from another state to help him take off a wheel!
Sam you do a great job with these videos. I enjoy watching you do this process while imagining that I had the $ and time to do this. Do you ever post cars you have completed that you'd like to sell?
8:54 HEY! That’s me! 😃
I’ll be over next week so we can finish up that focus rs too. 😆
same
That focus will never be finished.
In the wise words of Justin Bieber.. “never say never”
Looks great Sam !
Beautiful and sounds amazing
Happy Thanksgiving
The paint turned out great!
That is actually an awesome result!!
Happy Thanksgiving Sam!
Awesome find and car💪🏾
Very inspiring video. Thank you Sam. I amoust start believing that i can rebuild a car myself 😁
I enjoy your program, thanks!
From what the car started off looking-like it looks absolutely amazing🤩🤩🤩
Sounds very nice and looks amazing
Happy Thanksgiving Sam!!
And we never saw it again, my fav car on the channel
Nice looking car good job so far the new wheels look sharp
Man Sam who picks your music? You be jamming my man!
now this is a great car!
i love mercedes! 👍
The new rims look soo much better
Great video sam
Well Sam if those tabs for the bumper are broken and if not in area that will be seen. Temporary fix till you get replacement bumper would be metal strap screwed to bumper and run to where it screws to radiator core.
Excellent project!
Sam did you notice you removed the black grill for a silver one but you removed silver wheels for black wheels.
I was confused about this as well lmao should've just done it all black
Samcrac has the best outro song out of all youtubers. I make sure i watch till the last second just to hear the song lol
Epic car wish I could have one! Continue the good job
What’s the song @4:25 ? Could you leave links to the music you use in the description?
Pretty badass all around! I wish I had the ability to do things like this.
Takumi: "Have fun with the mercedes guy"
The mercedes guy:
Nice project 👍 an AMG for under 10k all in isn't bad at all. This car still eats 95% of the cars on the road.
This car looks and sounds badass, I want one!
Yo samroc doyou have a music playlist🍀great channel
Love this car!
That’s crazy 3 years later but I own this e55 now it’s in Houston tx, it went back into the auction after your build in North Carolina then I got my hands on it still has that same steering wheel love it!
I dont think I ever seen Sam complete a car 100%
How come you’re not over a million viewers already? One of the best youtubers.
Amazing
I been watching you for awhile from SO CAL
Pre-facelift Ε55 AMG that the previous owner installed a facelift bumper with the matching grille (bigger with a pointy end at the bottom). You kept the facelift bumper but you got a pre-facelift grille (that is not even the right colour for an amg version), you will have a gap that will never close...
sam bro you're one man army doing everything by yourself
man wish i really knew how to fix cars! Thanks Sam.
See Sam rocking his Raycon earbuds.
Nice trailer Sam!
HEY RICH FROM RICH REBUILDS. SAMCRAC IS ACTUALLY WORKING ON ONE OF HIS OWN CARS.
I wonder what the unsprung weight of those advanti wheels are compared to the OEM AMG wheels. Lighter or heavier?
I want this car sooooo bad. This is an incredible daily driver. I prefer the factory wheels over the aftermarket ones but hey, it’s still a great looking car!
I like how you tease us with the Phaeton in your videos.
Nice find, can't believe I missed that one in WP! Now I know who Tennessee is when I'm bidding 😂😂😂
Nice quickie. Happy Turkey!
Great video!
15:28 Wooo she looks and sounds goooood. This project seemed to of been worth the money and effort. Looks great.
Chicken feed EVERYWHERE! Love it.
I definitely love your Channel, I’m from Bk I wish I could do my own Repairs which you do which saves a lot of shop cost
