I came across this gorgeous dark blue #mercedes #amg GT on copra salvage auction with what appeared to be front end damage with the airbags deployed which seemed like a very doable repair. But when we went to collect it we very quickly realised this was not the case it was much much worse.
This #mercedesbenz has damage all over the entire car but also was hiding some secret damage underneath the bonnet which was the last thing I wanted to find...

Everyone needs a mate like Ethan, proper sound guy 👌🏾
@@24k__J😂😂
You need to find the car that hit Rashfords Rolls Royce and repair that. Guaranteed views plus you get to wind matt up.
That car probably only needed a door and a bumper😂
😂😂😂😂😂 absolutely brilliant advice
That would be great
😂😂😂😂
MA has bought it already lol
Come on Chris, what you have achieved already in life, this build is a walk in the park. No negativety, full on positiverty. Engine good. Everything else is fixable or replaceable. Beautiful looking cars these. You've got great friends around you to pick you up and support you, like you've done with Mat. Just make sure you don't work long hours. Get plenty of sleep and Yfood when you need it. Maybe you should of done car vertical check lol. Now let's smash this build out of the park. Your fans are all here for you😉😎🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳
That damaged front bar goonzquad are doing a similar build on their channel and they have managed to get hold of that same part from germany so check them out and see if they can put you in contact with the company they got it from
They said on their channel that you can’t buy it from the Mercedes dealer as it a structural part unless you are certified but there in America so not sure if the same thing applies for uk but good luck with the build man👍🏽
A Merc, brilliant. Let's go don't leave it too long between video's Chris. Your shows are excellent. Very much enjoy watching.
Goonzsquad are doing a AMG Merc with that same front support damage
They just repaired it on their latest vid aswell.
Came here to say the same thing!
I came for same reason 👍
Yes -watch their video on how to repair it ,,
I was going to say the same thing, that bar is not too bad to replace, it doesn't need a jig if it's just that bar, not the chassis leg👍
You got this Chris come on. Felt it when you was shaking there mate, the emotional connection and anxiety I get with you guys doing cars is incredible and the amount of excitement it brings me when all falls in place can’t be described in words. If you were looking for a positive word to go through the week with men, this is it. Love you guys, No Diddy
The looks on their faces at Mercedes! 😂 priceless!
😂😂😂😂 noticed
No drama , worst parts are the roof and the dash jobs , the rest is no harder than what you have done before, but on a fabulous car!
Definitely going to be another good unique build just like the X3M Chris. Keep your spirits up my man. Always remember at least you have the balls to venture projects like this. The rest of us just drool in envy from the side line. Can't wait for more of the X3M, would be a dream car for me and the Merc is on another level too. Looking forward to more videos on it, as it's something completely new and no one else is pulling one to bits.
mega hyped for this build!! keep up the great content chris, love it!!
When your friends says you can copy my homework but don't it obvious
Very brave. I hope you have the same success that Mat has enjoyed.
Really excited for this build. Well done, Slix!
Ethan seems like a great guy.
Ethan might change his mind about MB by the end of the build😂😂 good luck Chris, it will be an amazing build after you’re done with it!🎉👌
Hi Chris. Goonzquad most recent video has the exact repair of the frame rail that is bent on your Merc. It looked pretty straightforward. Good luck. Martin.
There are some guys on TH-cam that are actually repairing the same car.
The front end of the car is messed up exactly in the same spot and I believe you will find the video useful for your build.
Keep up the good work.
The relief on your face when she fired up. Priceless. ❤
Finally, been waiting for someone to do one of these for ages!
Gotta love your calm demeanor Chris Slix. I'd be panicking big time and crying at this point.
Love the fact that you tow with a Toyota High Luxury 4X4 (Hilux) I love that car. Can't wait to see how this build will find. One word excited.
Yeah I agree, we don’t have them in the states and I wish we did
I have been thinking to myself, why is no one fixing these on youtube. And finally, I found someone doing it. This is one of my dream cars as well.
I was so happy for you when I hear this engine starts! The road will be long in this new trip, but as always the best part of the trip is the road not the arrival... Good luck guys!
Almost identical front end damage to the one Goonzquad are repairing, including the inner wing rail section! Looks simple enough to replace based on their videos 👍🏻👍🏻 Keep up the good work mate! 😎🙌🏼
I always find Mercedes Benz rude, currently have an a45 and the service I’ve had with them has been awful down south. Now I’ve got to the point I think I’ll get rid of my car just so I don’t have to deal with them
Hey Chris, just remember to keep the ballast boxes from the back of the headlamps if they are not damaged as you can re-fit them and not re-code the car. You and Ethan are an awesome team and what a great, great machine, and it is blue!!! I have been through all of this with an R172 SLK - rebuilt from the ground-up. I can't wait for the next video :)
Addendum - I reckon something or something has gone through the screen!
Fork lift kissed the rear quarter.copart should pay for their damage
They love doing that don’t they literally probably just cost him a grand for there lack of care not on that
Copart are cowboys, their lack of care is criminal 😡
Excited to see how this new project unfolds. More damage than you bargained for, but that engine sounded sweet.
Looking forward to watching this build, you’ll smash this Chris. Will be awesome!
'Don't bring me problems, bring me solutions'... you've got this Chris, and I'm sure Ethan will keep you on the straight and narrow 💙
Chris, you've got this man! Slow and steady one job at a time.... You only progress through discomfort and strain -If it was easy you wouldn't do it.....
Look at goonzquad lates video!
No problem to replace that left bar at the engin.
You solve that easy ;)
Keep up the good work.
// Emil from sweden.
Decent build!! 🎉🎉 congrats on start up!! Good luck on the journey
Music at 0:55 is beautiful thank you! Suspension by Anna Dager, Hanna Ekström 🔥
This is another massive project your taking on chris so fair play to you man. Looking forward to following its progress. Your content is second to none, love it when i get a notification saying youve uploaded a video 😂
You can see Chris' emotions are so intense..Excited about this! Lets gooo
Good luck, Chris looking forward to see your project accomplished and make you make solid profits on this
Brave man ,great content as always,your sure to be able to find second hand parts, including nsf chassis parts ,that will keep the parts price's down , looking forward to this build.
Awesome video Chris! Looking forward to this build taking shape
The AMG GT is Beauty and the Beast personified. Good luck with this one Chris.
Please up vote so Chris sees this. Hey Chris, check Goonzquad amg gt rebuild video. The one they posted 3 days back “Rebuild a wreaked Mercedes amg gts! Certified Mercedes tech hired” They replaced the same fender structural part that this car has broken. It’s around the 12 minutes mark. Hope it helps. I’m no expert, but looks pretty easy than other things you have done 😄 Keep your head high. Good luck !!
I was so hoping that it started and it did, so you just need to fix it now, u can do this everyone is routing for you. 🤞
We need a petition to force the salvage co's to allow viewings again
Come on Chris all good we went you to go for it love this car ... support is on its way.
This is going to be another cracking build, good on you Chris looking forward to this one. 👍👍
Good luck to you Chris, this looks like an amazing next step!
I literately shouted YES when that engine started.!!!
Watching with anticipation when you were trying to start it after just watching Mike Essa strip his AMG on DDE wich was scrap
this is a crazy advanced project! mat armstrong levels!!! tons of engineering to do!
Had to be Blue🚙💨😂
The amg gt is my dream car, I can never afford one, so I'm gonna just watch your videos of it and be green with envy. Good luck with the repairs
Looking forward to this one!
Made me chuckle seeing the number plate blurred out on the trailer but could see it on the truck anyway 🤣
Loved the two Beemer builds. Looks like this is going to be a good one too
Could we have a series with sub 20k cars. Your videos are perfect, but idk I think it would be nice to have relatable projects like s3, gold r, m140s etc
Copart and insurance companies must love all these you tubers buying wrecked cars 🎉🎉
I agree. . Especially the prices they go for.. seems very expensive when the car is bad.. lots of labour and parts.. definitely not cost effective solution... I'd say they are overpriced on the whole
Mercedes-Benz with Keyless feature, starts either with the key in the slot and you use only the key or the key needs to be out of it's slot and you use the push start button, it doesn't work using both at same time. I recommend that until the build is finished to use the key slot to start it, believe me.
Awesome car mate , don’t get down this is repairable. That brace when you get the wing off is a replaceable part but all you need to do is root to it ! Best of luck ! This is going to be a naughty machine !!!
Get your buddy Matt in to give you hand 😂😂😂
Be positive Chris, you can fix this 👍
This is going to be a mega mate, can't wait to see the progress.. you got this Chis...💯👌🏽
The look of joy when it started! Cool car, exciting project!
This looks like it will be painful. But props for giving it a go. Make this a gt3 version. You replacing the panels anyway
Stunning car 🚙 even with all the damage one of my dream cars. Looking forward to seeing you rebuild and modify this animal 🦓
its gonna be worth it when its done
Chris starts his O-FTB merch line. ONLY - FOR THE BRAVE. Just in case HWBT isn't enough for the AMG GT rebuild. 👍👍
matt armstrong esque
Fair play chris love to see this car finished the time to drag race matt
i cant wait for this build what a car !!!!
That’s a monumental task hopefully it works out for you good luck pal
Great work in hiding the personalised number plate on Ethan's pick up. It's a shame you forgot to blank it off on the actual pickup itself! 🙈😂😂😂
mate 🤣 the face on the Merc Garage blokes is priceless - "WTF why did I came out and see this, I need to get as much distance between me and this car as possible"
Yo. You know what m8.. you are going into the right ditection. I love this car and series since I saw the thumbnail. Pls don't keep us w8ing too long for upcoming episodes :) have fun while rebuilding it :) greets from Poland
Rooting for you! It’s gonna be one hell of a rebuild, good luck!
Great. Need to get that other brief moving as well but I’ll gladly take a new project from you. Honestly, you are smashing it. Good luck with this one.
It's a decent project. Mercedes amg prices for parts may be steep, yet if it ends up costing less than buying a new one, it's still good!
Interesting content. Keep up the good work on your channel. Regards, WR4K.
DDE Mike Essa needs that motor...
You got this boy! Loving the content.
This seems so insane, I can't stop watching 😮
Hmmm, I thought I’ll just watch a wee bit!
Damn Chris, watched the whole thing and I’m hooked, AGAIN!🤦🏻♂️🤣
Top work, bring it on !👍
Goonzquad have been rebuilding a GTS one of these on their channel, same nsf damage and rear, you might pick a few tips up from their vids. keep ya chin up and all the success for the future! :)
Interesting choice of car don’t see these being repaired on TH-cam often
You can do it Chris, 👍🏼 (but with less nervous laughing at the dealers🙏🏼)
It’s about making good videos 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Glad to see it turned over at the end!
I have never seen a quote for work with hands in your pockets...😂
this build will be worth it. Hopefully on the next vid things go more your way.
I know this car is too good, so I wish you the best of luck with the repair and hope you get it on the roads soon!!
Hey Chris it’s gonna be though but you got all of us behind you to get this one done👍👍.
Good news it started Chris and good luck with this one 👍🏻
The first Mercedes guy who came out .....wow what a happy polite man 😂
The boys at DDE have a AMG GT with a bad motor. You should reach out to buy it . I’m sure it would be amazing content for your channel!! Cheers
When its crazy then it's plain simple................ its just realising is crazy!!! Get in there boi and make it sing!
Wow alot of work but really hope this works out... Looking forward to this rebuild
It’s like part of the mat Armstrong extended universe. It’s like you are his captain America to his iron man lmao.
Awesome that it started - can’t wait to follow the project - facelift front end?
A lot of damage for sure, but, brilliant choice of car mate. This could be extra special with a colour change, some exotic wheels and a few mods 👍
Chris I am sure you and Ethan will fix this , Keep up the great work
First time watcher and this was great. I am going to binge on the other videos.
Finally a Mercedes!! You can’t not love that car
Good luck with this Mr Slix...................................................ya gonna need it!!
