Welcome to the new project, A Gen 1 #v8 #audi #r8 which has previously been owned and rallied by Mark McCann on the track in his back garden.
Originally his intention was to transform this into a off road version but after getting his Lamborghini Sterrato the project became obsolete. So now I can attempt to restore this car to its former glory and back into the supercar it is.

Hi chris have you got a link to the trim cleaning product and drill brushes😊
Really enjoy your channel keep doing what your doing your very inspirational 👍
@@jeffsheriton385 check the end of the previous video 😊
Emailed the wiring diagrams you need!
Chris, buying OEM brackets Vs cleaning, rust removal, blasting and powder coat is a no brainier - well worth it for piece of mind and speed
My 14 y/o son and I are doing the same effort in our 2012 Ferrari 458 spider rebuild. Get it back to its condition it left the factory !! That means scrubbing every bolt and making it one of the cleanest rebuilds. Looking forward to watching your project
Finally Chris, keeping it stock and giving it the love it needs 🙌🏻
I agree, sometimes stock is just what it needs
Concour cars can fetch decent money when they become classic age
Go back and take a wire wheel to those rusty brackets and a can of spray paint and do a better job. If your going for quality OEM those bits will make a difference, Don't cut corners. Good watch though, will be following to see the results 👍
Yes Chris. Resto for sure, I’m looking forward to learning how it went together. So much modifying in this genre, resto sets you apart.
I like the idea of staying true to factory spec and doing it how a weekend warrior would do it from home! Really looking forward to the rest of this build process!
really appreciate you going stock. there is something about restoring a car to the initial look
Well done Chris, it’s great to see your channel growing with new cars and content. A great watch
Looking forward to the build,definitely keep it original but if you want it to be the best it can be then change those little things like rusty brackets 👌🏽
Thank god you are restoring it back to stock I am in the process of repairing a damaged 08 reg r8 so if you need any reference items etc pop up and take a look
Great purchase and awesome content. I like that you include showing how you clean it, bit different to other rebuild channels and makes a good watch.
Keep doing what you’re doing, really stepped up a notch since you committed to doing this full time.
I support you all the way!
Oh and give it a treatment of lanoguard, will make it mint.
Congrats on the car! Going to be an awesome project
I’m really looking forward to this build! 👍🏻 I think it’ll be good to take it back to its original state……with the odd modification! Good Luck boys! 🤛🏻
Absolutely loving the content on your channel Chris. One of the most engaging and just great to watch. Keep em coming 🤔
Super excited with this restoration! Every time I see Matt Armstrong put a dirty engine back together without cleaning it I’m hurting! Both have great channels respect 🤘🏾
Matt armstrong just brought an R8 aswell. There should be a race at the end between both cars
@@24k__Jgood content though
@@24k__Jcome on, its a bit of fun.
Another one?bought one about 4 years ago
@@mattymakin433 that was a TT

Chris. thanks for all your videos. Really appreciated. Others may have said but worth checking the feeds to the oil cooler in front of the passenger side rear wheel arch - they corrode and leak and if they let go can cause oil starvation. Also, as this car may have had a hard life, worth checking the frame for cracks under the windscreen skuttle - there are repair kits if needs be.. Look forward to the next one.
Cheers for the latest vlog Chris. Echoing others i too would say that a back to factory standard would be perfect for this car. Shame it was in such a bad state before you bought it,but i know it will look mint when you're done. All the best & get well too (didn't really notice till the message came up the end) 👍🏻
Its so much nicer to see it getting restored VS getting destroid, I have ZERO interest on those destroying videos, just stupid clickbites! Congrats Chris! Awesome!
Nice video, agree with how to treat this car and enjoyed watching the little bits being refurbished, general cleaning etc.
You can get mini sand blusters for small parts like that, very easy to do some of it still on the car. If you've got the money you can get the laser blast rust straight off 👍🏻
You and Mat are the only reason I come on CZcams 😂
Absolutely fantastic 👍🏻. Great to see attention to detail. I think sometimes thats what other CZcamsrs lack. Keep thinking outside the box and not doing stupid things just for views. You will attract the right audience
I've always loved these, great you and Matt have both got an R8 at the same time.
Chris please put the "Boompah" captions back in 😂. Love the idea of a clean example of an R8 👍 Great job!
Like that Chris…resto-mod/ oem plus… but super clean and factory. Makes a real change from the usual content.
Nice one! You really go all in!! 🤙🏼
100K Subs soon come Chris!... Loving this, didn't see it coming, who doesn't love/want an R8! I think defo rebuild as the cleanest OG version you can....OEM+ is the way forward, subtle mods that replace decade old tech etc to make the car better without making it look/sound/drive like a Max Power reject.
Good vid , seen you a while back now and not watched any of your stuff for ages but well done, like the garage set up ..big space with nice lighting 😎👍🏼
I love the new direction with your channel. It's so much cooler, to me, when repair our dream cars.
Great buy mate looking forward to the build 😃💪
Nice bro you just keep on doing what you are doing we are all loving the content ❤
Going all in.. Much respect.
Love the fact most of it’s done at home, top job 👌 wish I’d of started watching sooner
Loving the idea of this build OEM+ and well done for saving the car from Mark
Super excited about this build. That’s always been my dream car as well. Hopefully I can get my business where I want it, and get an R8 as a promotional vehicle. Keep up the great work from across the pond.
Absolutely love R8. Awesome content
Can’t wait to see this finished
Love this project! Looking forward to how its gonna look all done
Great to see the channel progressing Chris! But please keep this OEM+, sometimes less is more especially with a car like this!
I know it’s his money and he can do what he wants with his cars, but I just don’t get why Mark does it to these cars that many of us can only dream of. Chris I’d remove the brackets so you can rust treat the back/whole thing 👍 yours is my favourite car channel ❤
Because he's an attention seeking muppet.
Nice content Chris looking forward on this project
Good to see an OEM standard build! Good on yer Chris!👍👍
Nice, very nice idea, bringing cars back to top tear level, you have found your area of CZcams can wait for more future Classics
So pleased you are putting it back to standard. As you say, there are so many modified examples about, for once it will be unusual for it to be as Audi intended 😌
Yes dude! This is the right car to return back to stock. A real future classic. Great content as always
Smashing it mate love the videos bro
Can’t wait for this! 🔥
You & matts r8 video going to be epic
This is what we need a project car that shows us what we can do at home to make a car look better Chris, unfortunately many of us havent got deep pockets like Mr Armstrong, so it will be a nice change to see this project 👍😁👍
Great idea ! Maybe even OEM plus finish
Looking forward for this I would’ve done the same thing complete refresh this thing will definitely become a classic one of the most iconic supercars or sports cars the first gen R8s where always sitting in the middle of them 2 which made them special
gotta love the Billy Ocean clip!!
Im glad someone noticed 😅😂
I would recommend spending the money on a sandblaster then to remove the brackets if not bilt hamper does a product where you mix the product with water then place your brackets etc in them and it removes rust, they also do a gel that you can apply. Defiantly worth it.
I like your way of thinking, getting this back to its former glory is the way I’d go with it to.
Nice R8..good idea to keep it clean 🎉
You should go OEM+ a few subtle mods
Liquid yellow r8!👌🔥🔥
Can’t wait to see this one unfold great idea to keep it original also. Good luck
Glad you’re taking it back to oem and making it look good.
Another good video, Chris keep it up mate Get the car dry, ice blasted, Be good to see it done 👌
Look forward to this, can see it being put back together better than factory.
I thought Matt Armstrong bought 1 but Goodluck with ur journey ❤
Cool 😎 respect GGG-unit score!!!! EPIC
If you guys do this for R8 , I will enjoy so much watching 👌
Both the main lads on the R8s now.
Congratulations mate! First car CZcamsr with a great plan about a car! Please commit to do that plan! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
That's ace 😁 awesome video. Will have to see who's R8 turns out better yours or Matt's
I think OEM plus is the way to go Chris, don't go to mad just a few subtle changes
Keep it clean and original 👍
Chris, from a fellow Chris - you are absolutely smashing it with these videos and your work. Just fantastic, easy to watch, and engaging content. Good on you. 👍👍
Is the Goshawk Toms? Falconry and cars have always been my passion, channel just went up notches again 👍 Get a days hunting on video 🦅
Really enjoyed this one mate
Excellent plan to demonstrate what can be done at home with hard graft good luck
Love these cars, can't believe what's been done to it, just glad you got it off him 👌👌
Great idea about going back to original spec can't wait to see it fi shed.
I appreciate that you’re going to keep it original, the car deserves it. That said, the car also deserves replacement brackets 😂
indeed excited about this one. Have an ‘08 R8 R-tronic. a joy to work on and built SO well
What is the R-Tronic like. Im looking at cars around the 30k mark and the R8 is in budget however Ive been told to avoid the Auto. Is it really that bad?
I would love to do this myself as well!! Have a good fun 🤩
awesome idea to go back to stock! maybe consider a REPerformance collab on this one!
i like it. Theres always the temptation to wack a great stonking spoiler on it... but in many ways for the older cars restoring them to stock is just as satisfying. Less is definitely more in this case. Personally i would maybe replace some parts on the engine, maybe have the engine tuned a little. not going mental just making sure it was similar to brand new. overall i love it! and cant wait to see it on the next road trip
100k subscribers soon Chris 👍👍👍👍👌👌👌
Great build. Keep it oem . Hopefully in a new color 😀
Lovely car that, something cool about an r8 I think they need a spoiler tho.👌🏻
this is my literal dream car! I live close by to you and always see your cars on the front. Maybe im lucky enough to get to see them up close lol. Dont ask, you dont get.
PS, I love your videos and everything you do
original. this car looks amazing on the road
Yes we. Are excited about this project
Nice. Love R8’s.
I came from motor addicts, Owen forced me 😂
When these first came out I was working at a ladies house, she had one. She said her husband bought it for her but she didn’t like driving it because it was too fast for her and folk took photos of it every time she stopped somewhere.
Definitely a future, if not already a classic.
Great choice!
Great idea to bring it back to factory spec, I’m sure I’ve just missed it but is it the V10 or the V8 model, either way the manual variant is a drivers a car and a good quality one will really hold its value well. Looking forward to seeing what you do with it and whether you give it a full respray (maybe a different colour or just restore its current paint) the only thing I would add which makes it OEM plus would be carbon fibre side blades and mirror caps 👍🇬🇧
Take back to stock! Great idea.
Yo dude , I like the OEM idea
Bang on with “oem restoration”
Definitely wide body mate will look so good great content and just all round better than just a rebuild in my personal opinion
Like the oem idea
well done chris looks good
Nice to see the old girl get an appreciative and respectful owner in her twilight years
Great video just subscribed.
