  • The finale of the Range Rover Evoque see's me overcome some obstacles just when I thought we had finished. Minor problems.
    Finally, the RR leaves the workshop and has its first trip out on the road. Its been a long time coming..
    In this episode I break down the cost of the Evoque and ask the question, "Was it worth it?".
    If you like drone footage and want to know the cost of this build - this final episode is for you!!
    Avenger 4x4 is the place where I picked up my chassis cut and various parts.

    Well done young man - a really interesting video which was well presented and edited. The piece showing you giving Alan a card was a very thoughtful and kind gesture - if anyone did that for me, they would be a life long friend. Now a bit of Dad advice if I may (I'm probably older than your Dad) - you may not have made money on the project, but the life lessons you have learnt doing this will last for your life - the way you honestly deal with people is impressive. You can always earn money - and to be honest money does not mean very much in life. So bravo to you - feel proud, you have done well.

      Thank you very much Keith. This has made my day!
      A lot of lessons learned from this series. I’m only taking away positives- what I have learned and the friend I have made is worth more than any money earned (or not in this case). You have hit the nail on the head. Thank you for your kind words 👍

    Wow some really arsy comments on this. It may not have made financial sense to repair it but in your defence it’s hard to tell without being allowed to view before bidding but you got it done and didn’t skimp at all and your sister will be very happy with a lovely car I’m sure. So people should give you a break, you haven’t killed anybody or wasted anybody’s money other than your own and look at what you ha e learned from the experience. Well done 👍😀

      Yeah I’ve not shied away from saying it didn’t make financial sense and it’s a lesson learned for sure. It came out well and I’m happy with it. Yes it wasn’t financially viable however, I’ve learned a lot, made some interesting vidoes and have a new friend and future help for repairs. Can’t complain at that. 👍

    It's a bit like when Tarvarish met Jared Pink here... Alan is the new member of the channel and he really knew what he was doing too, decades of knowledge and very humble too. I hope he gains some additional business from helping you out. Love the finished project it looks very slick and the lowering suspension really made a huge difference, looks far more aggressive. Well done!

    • @SLRebuilt
      @SLRebuilt  3 роки тому

      I think you are right. Alan is certainly a friend for life and we will be doing more projects together too!

    You could easily have just walked away from this and took a hit on the loss but you didn’t. You carried on a provided some content for others to watch and enjoy or learn from and that should be applauded. You were lucky to find Alan and you both seem to have created a great partnership on this project. Sadly there are not enough people like Alan around anymore as most places just want quick and easy repair work for easy turnover so he was a fantastic find. I’m glad the Evoque is staying in the family as that means there is always the possibility of you providing the odd update on how it’s doing.

    I have found your story of fixing this 7 year old Évoque fascinating. Having owned one, I am amazed at the sheer complexity of parts that make up this vehicle. The cost of JLR spares ensures that there is a vibrant market for S/h spares! Always knew it was going to be a money pit, but it was an enjoyable story, and at least your sis is getting a tidy motor. Resale will be an issue, but if she keeps it for a few years it won’t matter, as all ICE cars will be eventually be valueless in the EV revolution 😂

    Great series have enjoyed the ups and downs of your journey. I think it's totally unfair that you got some negative comments, about the repairs. From my experience these repairs are commonplace in the trade, but they wouldn't show them on camera, thank you for your honestly. I think if you had just done the basic repair without all the dynamic upgrades,wheels and lowering you would had come in with a small profit. Two video's a week would be great one on the project and one on your lifestyle you love the dog and family content when we get to no you looking forward to the next one cheers and happy New year sam

    The most profitable part of the whole exercise for you was finding Alan. Good people who are reliable and don’t want to rip you off are hard to find in any trade the motor trade definitely being no exception. I’d also like to compliment you on your filming and editing. If you’re in finance not media production and haven’t had any help it’s incredible. If you have got somebody working with you on that side of the process that’s another good person to continue to collaborate with. You possibly need a better microphone for some of the exterior pieces to camera because there was a lot of wind noise in one section. Very thorough concluding video though so it’s a 👍 from me.

    @steveegginton535 3 роки тому +1

    Nice looking car although personally I wouldn't have lowered it but your car your choice. Enjoyed the drone video footage. If its any consolation quite a few of the U Tube salvage repairers seem to make a loss on a car occasionally. Serious about Salvage have a Mini that he thinks he'll make a loss on due to the price of parts - so you are not alone! Co-part fees seem high and assume the seller has to pay something similar to get the car into the auction.

    • @SLRebuilt
      @SLRebuilt  3 роки тому

      Cheers Steve. I hear you about lowering a 4x4 - it was for aesthetic reasons only!
      A lot of lessons learned in this series so I’m taking away the positives for sure!
      Copart fees are extremely expensive and the price of salvage has shot up since April 2020 which makes it a lot harder to find a good deal, make a YT series and make a profit or break even at the end of it all. 👍

    Nice series Sam which I have been watching with great interest. My wife's Evoque pure was rear ended just before Christmas and after some irritating problems with the insurance I finally have it back. I love the idea of getting it lowered especially with the 20 inch rims makes it look awesome. Could you let me know what suspension you used / changed ? costs? regards.

    • @SLRebuilt
      @SLRebuilt  3 роки тому +2

      Hi Gary. Thanks for watching. That’s such a shame. I hope you get it sorted.
      I used Bilstein coilovers. They were originally supplied by urban automotive at a cost of £1400 (Ish). I got them secondhand for £150. It was a case of taking the old struts out, removing the top mounts and then putting these ones in. About half a days work if you are proficient in doing this stuff. 👍

    Very interesting build good job brother. Got to say it was good go see how Alan fixed the damage watches these video a novice can learn a lot. I get what people mean about the car and the cost but in this game you dont know what the total damage is until the car is taken apart and then the car has to be repaired correctly so some time you win other times you lose this is the risk that is involved. Dont take what these guys are saying to heart you carry on. Too many keyboard warriors these days.

    My brother and me have watched this from day one, we both been in the accident repair business all our lives.
    We have enjoyed watching this series on the range rover to be honest but right from when we first set eyes on it we knew you would lose money & not worth the effort!
    We both think that alan was doing too many cuts & welds to be honest, and with the right mounting jig with pulling equipment that (A) post could have been repaired.
    Anyway, it is what it is & at least you got it finished!
    Felt sorry for the guy with the C63, but NEVER buy a car with that value without looking at it first!

    even though your not the cheapest etc, I've noticed you don't skimp on the bits that need doing, and the paintjob and the rest of the quality is main dealer quality!! Car looks great!! by the way usually when buying the same colour panels can you get away with not painting it or does it usually still need blending etc? thanks

    • @SLRebuilt
      @SLRebuilt  3 роки тому +1

      Thank you.
      For paint matches, I’ve found it really depends on a number of variables. The main variable is if either car the panels are coming from and going on to has been painted after factory. If so, likely they will not butt up match. That was the case on my build. I have used panels which match up previously and they are fine- the Audi S5 project front wing wasn’t painted. 👍

    This is not a reflection on you personally ............but fixing even lightly damaged cars is a mugs game and to risky as you have found out, financially you have taken a beating more so when you come to sell and you cannot get anywhere near the price you expect. Granted you have went a little overboard customising the car to your own tastes which is a good thing but in order to get value from this project you will have to keep it for quite a while. Good luck on the next project but buy wisely my friend.
