This week, Will's stolen Edwin's first ever Project Car, a modified Mazda MX-5 which has been sat abandoned since its turbo blew up 4 years ago. Edwin can have any parts he needs but he's got just 24 hours to get it running again and if he fails the challenge, he has to pay for all of it!

Please tell me there's a part 2 right??
Please tell me there's a part 2
Help I'm confused. Why is the Miata have an "18 Valve" engine but for 18 valves spread across 4 cylinders it would 4.5 valves ;-;.
Is there something I'm missing?? Or does it say 16 Valve but it looks like 18.
Oh nvm it says 16...
nah man after u screwed edwin so hard on that?
24:24 so what is a better car for 500? And for 3-4 grand? Please do tell! 🤞
I demand an extension to 48 hours. You did my boy dirty with the 24.
In his defense, he even got short changed on the 24. He said the car needs a "day's work". Not a day's work including the parts overhead he knew he needed beforehand. He could've easily finished, had the clutch been provided for him in advance, as he knew he was going to need it.
yea, give the man his other 24
@@AnalogSins did you watch the video? he got provided a turbo, and a clutch lmao
Its youuu!! Always funny to see youtubers watching other youtubers. Kinda remind you that theyre also just humans (i know...big surprise but i hope you get what i mean 😅)
They didn't even provide any beers
There are very few channels where I want to like, subscribe and comment JUST to support the channel... but this is one. I wish more channels had your energy. No clickbait, no never-ending cliffhangers, just real cars with real dudes and good comedy. Thank you for making this. Much love x
They use $, not £ in the titles. That's clickbait for Americans.
@@samuelgarrod8327 I'll give you that one. Excellent pedantry.
@@samuelgarrod8327 Wow take them to jail and throw away the key how could they do such a horrifying act
@@BarbecuedPossumWas just saying. Thought that was the point of the comment section. Am I wrong?
@@samuelgarrod8327 I think, to be fair to @BarbecuedPossum , they were just saying too. I think in general most people are just saying. Just saying.
Edwin remembering there’s degreaser in his boot from 5 years ago yet I can’t even remember yesterday 😂
i think the guy keeps a bottle of that stuff under his pillow tbh
Smoke less weed mate.
I hear that's how dementia works 😆
"I love farming shows" went unnoticed, and it was a great line.
If you put the time where something happens, it will automatically create a link to that time in the video, e.g., 1:11
I didn't get it
@@blungus123 Cow piss
@@jgreenjeans 2:54 , you're welcome
I kind of chuckled at the "mo'powah" reference considering how Donut is in a state of self destruction right now.
Self destructing like their wrx
@@seavixen125 Turning up the boost on an EJ is sort of the engine equivalent of accepting a big corporate buyout. Lots of fun for a short while but will absolutely blow up in your face every time. 🤠
Get her up on the lift, she'll be right.
Hoonigan I am sad about.. donut was always shit imo.
What is happening with Donut?
Mannnn doing all that work single handed and by the looks of it you knew how to do it all without a walk through makes you a proper car guy! Well done!
Ikr and they STILL SCREWED HIM! Poor edwin bro
And a night after having a ‘good time’ at his girlfriend’s
I'm so used to seeing these types of videos end in a "just in the nick of time" manner where they're magically saved by some outside force at the la st moment, that I was genuinely shocked to see Edwin lose; it was refreshing!
surprised he gave up with 30 to go... must ave been specific fuel fittings he didnt have
Refreshing and genuine. That's why I love this channel, and All the Gear. If they don't meet the goal, they lose. So many other channels would move the goalposts.
@@JW-qf2fxit just wasn't safe to start it with all that fuel in the engine bay. It would never have been dry enough in 30 min, can't risk a fire
Spoiler below : (not the car part)
I hope you do a part 2 and finish this MX5 / get it running. Could even be a mid week upload 😊
Cheers for the spoiler 😂

As somebody who lived in southern Spain for many years here are some helpful tips for dealing with the hot weather:
- stay in the shade
- turn on your air conditioning that you have in your house
- jump in the local outdoor pool that you have on your housing estate
- drink lots of ice cold lager at illegal late night car meets on the beach
- ride a motorcycle in shorts and flip flops
- shut down the whole country every day from 3pm til 5pm and also the entire month of August
No one in the UK has air conditioning in their house
Woosh @@mattparkin7224 (also almost every member of my family has air conditioning, SE UK)
Sounds like a plan
The final boss of "No shit sherlock"
😂🤣
Man, if it hadn't been for that fuel leak at the end... I hope we'll eventually get to see this car run an drive after the monumental effort Edwin put in. I also hope we find out more about the bottle of hooch up in the corner atop the electrical conduit(?) @10:22
how dafuq did you even spot that?? xD
That Top Gear Shed reference was incredible
What kind of nerd would find those interesting?🤣
The labels still attached to Wills shirt is typical TG!
Edwin is the kind of guy to name his tools
owh yes
@@hexgraphica”this is Geoffrey this is Stephen..” “get on with it >:(“
Love the video! Can we have an extension to the 24 hours please? Would be good to see it running. In response to the comment that MX5s aren't good: I haven't driven an NA, NB or NC so I can't comment on those but I have owned a 2020 ND2 for 3.5 years and after 31,000 miles, 2 long European road holidays and 17 track days I can say that my MX5 is fantastic, especially when I compare it to the cost of other cars of the same age/mileage. Maybe an idea for a video would be to compare an early MX5 with other cars you could have bought for the same price from the same year as the MX5 when new.
Hi love your content, would you ever buy a project to do up and make videos on?
The auto Alex multiverse is genuinely pushing out great video after great video on all channels.
the AUTOALEX multiverse is getting all the parts for FREE. Think about that. Ive got a car that needs repairs so I can get to work to support my family but Im struggling to afford it and Ive recently had a stroke oh some free stuff would be really nice at the moment
@@cherrytreegoats3409for ‘free’ but create videos and do a lot of marketing for those companies that give you ‘free’ stuff ;-)
@@cherrytreegoats3409 I'd rather see them fix cars that are needed by others.
Yeah pushing out a lot of Car vertical ads
@@cherrytreegoats3409 And?
Out of the auto alex collective, i think you two if im honest are the most interesting to watch both as people and in terms of content. And thats saying something as i subscribe and enjoy all 3 channels!
That was a classic James May moment at 20:17 😂
What kind of nerd would find those interesting.....
Look what you’ve done to my bloody shed man!
Safety issues like fuel spills shouldn't count for time. If the unit burns down the channel is impacted. Rushing around spilled vapor can only go badly.
I think a second chance.
They need to deduct time sleeping and eating and give him like 5 hours to finish it with the fuel fix being a freebie, then he can get half his money back.
I agree, I hope next video is a second chance
Really enjoy your channel fellas, it's the grounded approach I like the most.. Not too cocky and just basically honest and having fun, taking us along for the ride.
If I was in your shoes, I'd be doing it in exactly the same way....
Cheers. ❤
I can't help but notice and love at 20:18 the James May shed reference! Wow!!!
This has rapidly become one of my most loved channels.
Thanks so much for what you’re doing guys.
Gutted Edwin wasn’t able to finish this - was rooting for him all the way to the end
Man, this would have been too cool if it was an actual 24h livestream! 🤣🤣
As someone who lives in a desert, here are some tips to keep cool when you're working in a hot garage.
Hydrate, you sweat to cool your body down, but it dehydrates the hell out of you super quick so keep yourself hydrated. I've got two insulated bottles filled with cool water whenever I'm in my garage in the summer.
Open the garage door. Use whatever breeze you can to get heat out of the garage.
Drape a wet tea towel on the intake side of a big box fan so that it pulls air through the towel cooling the air down. Fans normally don't cool you they just blow hot air off of you so you feel cool.
Hydrate
Cool your neck and hands and wrists. These are essentially your body's cooling vents because you've got a lot of blood flow closer to the skin. If you cool that down you can more efficiently cool down the rest of your body. You can do this by wrapping wet bandanas or evaporative cooling cloths around these parts of your body. For people with long hair like me, put your hair up. Having your hair down is kinda like blocking the cooling vent that is your neck.
Hydrate.
Also 31°C sounds like a delightful day in a low humidity desert like mine, but in a more humid place like the UK that sounds dreadful.
Unfortunately in the UK sweat doesn't cool you down much, it just makes you sticky and horrible adding to the uncomfortable feeling of being hot. It's too humid, even if the breeze feels cool your body struggles to maintain temperature making it feel hotter than it is.
Edit: ah I see you addressed that in a reply to yourself already
@Blazi3 yeah that's why hydration is important because your body will sweat regardless of whether or not it's helping.
Or just install an AC? Would've cost half as much as they'd spent on this one video...
@@jama211we’re all on the dole, we can’t afford no AC
2:53 "I love farming shows" That took me a second and then I snorted my tea :D
Yeah i noticed it, but i didnt get it.
@@PatrickHemmesI may be mistaken because I'm not a native English speaker, but I think it's because it looks a lot like a cow giving birth.
@@PatrickHemmes I think its a reference to clarksons farm, specifically the sheep birthing.
@@PatrickHemmes immediately after the car starts pissing like a horse. I'm fairly sure that's what it referred to.
@@baoboumusic i thought because hes arms deep in his car, like in a cow 😂
As someone who rebuilds alternators and starters for a living that spaf and crank job was quality
Edwin living the All the Gear lifestyle.
Surprised they didn't join in for a sleepover!
18 year old Edwin was a master with zip ties 😂
I swear not. I was thinking you should do this video as revenge for the X5. Thx me in advance. 😊 And u should get Alex to do this to Phil, Alfred, Miles, John and all his cars
Literally what I was thinking 😂
I was thinking this too but I thought Will would use the white on white E36 from car throttle.
@@saibattu7745 That would be cool. And should secretly do it with Jack's 924 and Ethans SMX
TDC has quickly become my favourite channel. Keep up the good work guys.
I really hope you guys see this comment. Genuinely the best video you’ve uploaded I really hope it continues. Seeing you work on your own cars is much better, it feels more personal and more connected. Keep it up. But please do a full blown rebuild and project of the zafira if you could😬🤣
That's not hot I grew up in an oven 😂😂😂
Fr same
It's not that hot, i grew up in a house fire
Was it really cool for you
_That's really cool for you! I'm glad for you!_
An oven?! Luxury! We had to make do with blast furnace and lick molten metal every morning.
it is great to see the miata getting some attention
For all the non brits on here.....31 degrees in the uk is unbearable because of the 90% humidity involved due to the enormous amount of ground water on the island, from a British guy that hates living in Spain because its too bloody hot!
That's not hot I live in Texas. I climb in an oven to cool down. Love the show thanks guys.
Next time you thinks it’s cold I can tell you it’s not. I climb in my freezer to warm up
If it's too hot, move. Don't be a typical dumb yank. Tornado Alley? Yeah, let's live there.
@@lbnewell23 ikr 😂 they had snow a few years ago and had a meltdown 😂 pun intended
It's been a long time since I subscribed to a car channel, you two are creating the most genuine car content I have seen in many many years. the chemistry between you two is hilarious!
We need part 2! Get it finished, get it running!
swear edwin has mechanic level knowledge, what a wizard
Edwins transition from tools to sponsor ad was seemless. Also bottle of white wine on the wall in the back of the unit?
These shows make me smile so much. Where's the donate button? Sort it out lads ha!
I rarely comment on videos but half the video was sponsorship plugging and merch plugging. Came to watch car content. About 10 minutes was actual car content.
Agreed. Shocking!
Will, it is masterful how i had barely heard of you before you and Edwin started this channel, and now you feel like an old friend 🧡
Hey at least they were pretty generous with the noodles, those Nongshim ones are great.
What a great sport Edwin was for actually abiding by Will's oppressive regime at short notice, and giving the challenge his best shot! Deffo up for a part 2 as others have mentioned - he deserves a chance to recoup some of the costs!
Hands down still some of the best car-related content on youtube. It literally gives me gives me vibes from when Top Gear was my favourite show.
You are brilliant. You absolutely made the right decision going solo. Congratulations 🎉
Edwin is the mate we all need when the cars playing up!
Can we get more on the mx5 please 🙏
Monday is my new favourite day! TDC day!
I like the premise of the channel being a couple of mates enjoying cars, having a laugh with no ego or bullshit. Keep up the good work chaps!
I love the working on cars content. This has to be the best channel for this type of stuff in the AutoAlex universe
while its unfortunate, honestly it's refreshing to see that things go wrong sometimes. I feel like a lot of channels chop and edit their videos to always show a successful challenge, which is unrealistic. I'm keen to see the mx5 running again soon
i would actually like to see you finish this. i want to get an MX5 myself and I KNOW there will be issues so this was a nice look into the workings
Genuinely, your channel is clean as guys. Fast paced, professionally presented.
You, and 'All the gear' have recovered so fast .
Autoalx, TDC, all the gear, MArmstrong. 🎉
The adjustable spanners holding the cams is bloody brilliant
This is exactly the content I wish for on an automotive channel, thank you guys
You guys have very quickly become my favorite youtube channel! Since video 1 it's been quality 👌🏼
This was a great watch, well done Edwin for getting as far you did especially as the majority of CZcams 24 hour builds pause for sleep and resume afterwards.. please do a part 2 on this a chance to recoup some costs maybe
Bloody loved this episode (Degreaser in the boot for 5 years is a thing of beauty!) but I can't help feel the USP of the channel is the chemistry between you two. We didn't get to see much of that in this one cause Will had very important stuff to do.
Thankyou car vertical for funding our favourite non media company owned automotive channel ❤
I’ll cop the adds if they are going to the creatives and not some garbage management chain
Thank you for putting "CarVertical" on the screen it allows me to arrow through really quickly
Great video, I want to see this thing running again! I'm in a similar situation with my first car (Glanza V) on jackstands in need of love. 4 clutches, 1 engine and 2 turbos later and I still wont part with her! Keep up the good work lads 👌
Jdm eunos roadster is such a rare find. You've got to restore it, it's more then just teenage project car
of all the "sub channels" that seemed to appear from various other main places.. these two are my fav. I like them, their dynamic, and the kind of work they do! they do the same kind of crazy shit with cars that I do!
What a fantastic CZcams channel this is. Just perfection.
Edwin, mate, props to you for doing this. You got so much done in that 24 hours and on a more comfortable day, I think you could've done it.
Because that's your MX-5 and you love/hate it so much, I think getting it back to functioning condition would tell you what you want to do with it. Get the lads to help you, then go after him with his X5 on the coldest day of the year! The metal would've been a workable temperature for you here, but when its snowing outside? It'd be painful to work with.
I don't care what anyone says, 31 is hot to work on a car full stop. Coming from an Australian!
At least you don't have to deal with choking smoke because your country has decided to immolate itself.
Edwin's both love and hate of the MX 5 in equal measure! 🤣
I empathize, I live in southamerica and 31 °C is a scorching temperature, props for working that hard under such heat.
Honest ending... but couldn't you pull the fuel pump relay and use some starting fluid to show it runs?
Absolutely loving the channel guys, great mix of technical and fun and can see your confidence building every video. It’s top content along with all the other guys on the channels too. Brilliant and significantly better than anything on tv nowadays. Congrats 🎉
Edwin went Superman mode with the amount of work he did, in 24hrs on negative hours of sleep and a single cup noodle, MX-5 completed or not. Great work and a fun watch as always!
You guys are currently my favorite yt car channel. everyone else once they reach a certain size just becomes a "look at all my money" vlog. (which is just them begging for more money)
I actually really enjoy watching TDC….. keep it going as the bants is perfect 👌🏼
All your videos are super enjoyable, probably my favourite out of the three groups
No manuals, not one!!
You are either mega clever. You have worked on this... master piece so much. You dont need one.
I relate to this so much as someone with a turbo miata with a slipping clutch that I absolutely dread replacing again
Cleanest merch plug i've ever seen, well done lads
I love this. Pure recognition and determination, failure or not... it doesn't feel scripted, cause this is what actually happens.
Keep it up if you think it's fun!
There are a few channels on YT I follow, 3 from UK and 1 from Australia 😀... I'm Swedish and we have nothing like it that I know of. Looking forward to visit UK and pick up a shitbox in the future 😀
From overwhelmed to his happy place in just 30 mins 👌
16:22
That was a good one🤣👌
Cant wait for Car Vertical to run out of CZcams marketing budget!
Great video guys.
Top work lads, I've got an Evo I bought that was my first turbo car 13 years ago. Everyone has told me to sell it over the years but it is still there. It has some periods of down time when things break (3years at one point) and it seems that when you fix one thing the next goes (waiting on a new twin plate clutch now) but like you I will never sell it. Good relatable content much better you guys are your own bosses now.
Is it just me or any one else smelling a bit of a WheelerDealer + CarSOS vibe running through this video?
Big tall guy and the pudgy sidekick 😂 and only one of them having a decent time.
I love it.
Edwin is totally my kinda guy, we would get on like a house on fire. If you see this and fancy helping me do a project on my 1995 JDM Mazda Bongo import. I'd be totally down.
Cheers for the excellent content ❤
We hear on the news down here that the pommies start dropping around 27 degrees so 31 must be a sauna for you guys. for us it's a nice spring day haha
Absolutely my favourite channel. You two are brilliant. Really hope we see a part 2 to this!
So glad these guys made their own channel. Can't take any more alex.
Hello. My name is Imbe, i am a hobby mechanic. I found a Honda Civic Fn1 2010 sitting around for... a price and i had to go trough the breaks and suspension.. i also had to do a radiator+AC component swap to it due them being... rot away and punctured.. well after i was done.. i had experienced multiple projects and scenarios where im in a time pich in a place where i must do "the thing" aka work with my car. When people put you in a hurry, you can bet my ass the face is exactly like this dude right here.. 24 hours is a short ass time to work on something.. we mechanics are put on torture and some how it is fun.. poor man, i know how you feel. My soul is with you. i did a break caliper rebuild + front + rear suspension rebuild in a weekend and this dude is dying here in 24h time pinch... my soul... my heart. (thanks for reading - Imbe)
This channel has the best reason for a merch plug 😂
Great stuff guys - once again setting the bar for car CZcamsrs
Fair play to Edwin, he got a hell of a lot done on his own in 24 hours. Will did him dirty.
I really wish I was there to help you Ed it would give me the most joy and excitement
Why am I so excited when you guys release an episode? Fair play lads!
3:12 That’s not hot, I grew up on the surface of the sun!
Thanks for the awesome content guys.
Cheers Pat 🇦🇺
I think everyone advertising for CarVertical should mention that you cant find info for every car AND you wont know until you pay for the check. A friend wanted to check a 3 years old VW Passat imported from Germany and nothing showed. I believe they gave him credit so he check another time, but that is just not the way it should be.
You should have given the man some food+parts so could work through the night instead of wasting time no sleep and cleaning. But anyway, good effort from Edwin!
really enjoyed that vid gens. Will there be a part 2 (and maybe 3 & maybe 4 & 5) to get it back on the road. Would love to see that.
This videos the turning point, where you have become my favourite channel on youtube ❤
Missed merch opportunity, The TDC shirt should have the front of the miata engine at tdc printed onto it.
Absolute top job as always fellas!looking forward to the next one
16:36 Two adjustable spanners and mole grips are obviously Edwin's camshaft locking tool!
Great episode. I would love to see your guys do a trading up or quick flip series.
Love this gents! Miss my mx5/eunos.
That 323 rocker cover is a beauty.
The merch plugs were sufficient.
Ordered a Tee.
Just really enjoyable to watch. Funny, quick witted, interesting. You guys are nailing it! Well done!
