I like this format a lot. Thanks for putting the whole build in 1 video. Most car channels leave you on a cliffhanger and rarely even return to the same car leaving people wondering what happened with it. This method of filming is much more satisfying.
Pssst I am a Porsche tech if you ever need any instructions or info just ask! Also the grille you have is incorrect it blocks the ACC sensor there is a different one with a cut out for the ACC sensor. Other than that nothing more than a classic Porsche build! Lots of trips to the parts department for sure haha. Great work and I can’t wait to watch more!
came across to this video and saw your comment :) I have also rebuild a GTS 2020 with a light front damage. The ACC was calibrated and also the "front facing camera" for the assistance systems. error pops up again and goes away. ACC works, then again not etc. Searched in Audi/VW forums and in 90% of the cases, the front facing camera has an issue (soldering points) Have you experience with this? besides this small issue - the GTS 2020 with the 2.9l engine is a granade..
@pilotpeguin0, have you done an engine mount replacement on a Gen1 Macan GTS? Wondering if I have an engine bar up top and if I loosen the subframe that I can access both engine mounts? What I'm trying to avoid is removing steering rack, AC compressor or anything unnecessary. Thanks.
I am so thankful you put everything in one episode instead of drawing out these parts order breaks into 10 different episodes. I know it probably costs you clicks and plays but it’s a much better viewing experience. Love your channel! I’m about to buy a Macan turbo, so thanks to this video I’ll try not to take out the front end ever. Also, what a great optioned car you found!! Love everything about it.
LOVE the way this turned out BUT I gotta be honest... I'm surprised you didn't swap the exhaust, flash the ecu, put new air intakes from flat6 and new wheels. Even as a daily driver, it deserves some upgrades! Bring on that video!!
You'll need to find the correct front grille insert for a Macan with ACC though. Because that sensor requires an unobstructed view of the road ahead, to function properly.
Make sure you get the correct center grill for the front bumper, because you have the adaptive cruise control, the grill in front of the sensor should be different, it should have an opening. And curious to know if the car was equipped with 360° cameras? Because the front camera should be above the sensor for the adaptive cruise control. Check under the side mirrors to see if they have parking cameras there. If so, you need the front camera also.
I bought a salvage 08' Cayenne Base 3.6 VR6 with a 6sp MT, and rebuilt it as well. Didn't spend nearly as much as you did but ended up only being $2K in the green. I like the car, so I'm keeping it. Love your channel! Keep it going! You're saving the planet from wreckage yards and metal melting.
I just discovered this channel a few days ago and have been binge-watching you guys ever since. As a crossover SUV guy myself who is loyal to the two cars that started it all, the Porsche Cayenne and the Infiniti FX35, I can say this is one of my favorite videos of them all. I totally understood what the feeling is like as you drove that luxury monster with all the tech for the first time. If you ever came across any salvaged Infiniti FX35 or FX50's (later branded QX70 with only a few 5.0s made as the QX), I would love to see what you could do with one of those! The Infiniti FX/QX community is huge and parts are not hard to find especially since it shares so many with the Nissan 350z and the many JDM import motors/transmissions available.
I thought y'all should know, your uploads keep me watching and not just playing in the background. I appreciate the quality and the energy from y'all is awesome.
Love this I just hit a 19 2.0 t with 75k yes the transmission is amazing.. but the power they put out of this Audi 2.0 wow I just imagine the v6 what a dream and that color 👏
I am on minute 4 and I can see this can doesn't have a millimeter frame damage, the headlights and radiator frame is not structural, or other pieces and tiny pillars. No side impacts, rear and front impact haven't damage the 2 main frame pillars at all, the right one is just missing the last part you stuck in the hole(the front frame rail extension), but the hole looks like factory, just sliding the ending piece of the main front pillar and the car can be arranged as factory. Plus I love Macan, even more GTS and this generation with the separate tail lights , a little sunken in the body is really nice design to me, it's literally my favorite daily Porsche. That's a smoking deal!
I enjoyed watching you guys fix something to it's original spec! Just like I told Dalt on his channel I really just enjoy watching anything and everything you guys upload overall so it's nice to see just about any kind of video in my opinion! But I first hand understand why you guys dont fix as many as you part out because unless it's for personal use those rebuilt titles are almost impossible to sell for a fraction of the price! Loved the video and the whole team, keep it up!
I really enjoy watching you put cars together. And once in a while taking stuff apart. I don't know if there's such a thing as being in the green when it comes to Porsche or any other German vehicle. Nice job putting that Porsche together. I wish I could do what you guys do everyday.
I think it was a fabulous deal....no significant frame damage. Porsche parts are not cheap....but still worth it for what you get in that car....I would definitely keep that car and perform some upgrades!
Video was very enjoyable! Love the fact that I was a one video Build. usually watching other TH-camrs build a video they take forever and just blame it on waiting for Parts. You the man.
Been in the rebuild game for too long, and l'm paraphrasing what you said "you win some, you lose some". Enjoy the car, job well done. When I buy rebuilds, I drive them, and if after how many years of owning em I make a couple grand, it was basically a free car, and I made some money too.
Good video content and excellent representation of how & what is involved in trying to give something crashed new life again as a DD and not a project vehicle. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
HI buddy I'm your subscriber from Tanzania East Africa the reason i like and i differ you from automotive channels is you most of the time complete your videos thank you for that
I have a 2017 Audi Q7, so many VAG parts bin pieces shared between these cars. Not surprised Porsche taxes on these VW parts. Really enjoyed this type of build video!
Awesome loved it. I think a Macan was the first Porsche I ever drove. I think every modern Porsche kind of reminds me of a cockpit, button's and switches everywhere
I have a 2018 Macan S. Please put the AWE touring exhaust on it. I have it on mine and it is insane. Crackles and pops in sport plus. Also have the Cobb stage 1+ tune from flat 6 motorsports shop. Do that. It is the best daily driver. You’ll have a blast and never lack. Plus the Gen 1’s still reign as the best looking macan. Welcome to the club.
Also the acc warning is probably because you have the wrong grill insert. That big half circle behind the grill is the automatic cruise control radar. My grille has a cutout to show it Unobstructed.
This was a cool rebuild because you didn't have the parts on the shelf like you said and it showed what it would be like if anyone did the rebuild themselves. Cool little SUV never knew anything about them other than I see them on the street.
The marker lights should be the same color. Yellow or white, I would pick white front marker lights. But you car looks great, you did a fantastic job on it. God bless you guys and your families, stay safe out there. 😊👍🙏🏼👌
A better daily driver than the Macan is the Volvo XC60 T5 Inscription. I have have one and love it. The Macan doesn't have massaging seats and maintenance cost is much more.
Literally have the same year, model Macan GTS in this video....except mine is Agate Gray and it wasn't crashed into......LOL!!!! Only question is why put stock intercoolers when you could have bought a set of upgraded ones from Flat 6 Performance along with Pure Hybrid turbos.....???
😂 Wonderful build (had a similar one blue spec alacantara blue rims by a client they spent like 15 fixing it😮) the snow day at the end was the icing on the cake tho gr8 wrk!😊
Watching your videos is like a roller coaster of emotions. "I am 100% building a crashed car." "There is NO way that this will work out for me. I don't have the resources." Either way, I love the uploads. Keep up the good work!
I'm also dealer from Maryland, just got today 18 macan S 53k miles(with bunch of options), watching you video so I can double check my missing parts ;))))
Hey Siri, has anyone put a hellcat engine in a Macan before?
No, but you should!! Lol
No , be the first to do it , i dare you
Don’t tease us like that fam
Everyone be like LS swap everything Lee be like hellcat swap everything
Huh?

I agree!
@@TheMarpalm Agree, but please pronounce the name correctly. POR-SHA. You wouldn't like it if people constantly ispronounced your name.

The entire job is hacked..... That apron repair should say it all.
This is some quality content. I love when a project is completed in one video
OMGosh the pic on side road with trees full of snow looked like a Porsche Advertisement. Thanks for awesome video guys
They'd probably hire me if pronounced it correctly..
@@LeeCdon’t worry, no one knows how to pronounce it 😅
I love when a project is completed in one video
Fernando's Gangsta lean on point rippin' the Macan!
nah on goddd bro was looking like he in a edit
Enjoyed the rebuild. Pretty cool to see this cause most people only see the big parts and not all the small stuff that's needed to complete the build
I am so thankful you put everything in one episode instead of drawing out these parts order breaks into 10 different episodes.

As a 2018 macan S owner that has done all of what you said, I fully support this statement.
What's the best sounding exhaust for these? I'm so close to pulling the trigger on either a macan or an x3m40i
You'll need to find the correct front grille insert for a Macan with ACC though. Because that sensor requires an unobstructed view of the road ahead, to function properly.
Make sure you get the correct center grill for the front bumper, because you have the adaptive cruise control, the grill in front of the sensor should be different, it should have an opening.

so glad to see the channel starting to blow up!Been a fan for over a year!love the Porsche content!
Love the fact that you contained the build in one video. Well done as always

Congrats on the build! This is definitely my favorite car channel, its nice to see car videos that aren't 500 episodes long.

I love the idea of rebuilding slightly more daily-able cars. Especially on a channel already focused on the realism of this industry
I don’t
@@mitchellfrankum219 sucks now doesn’t it

Love this I just hit a 19 2.0 t with 75k yes the transmission is amazing.. but the power they put out of this Audi 2.0 wow I just imagine the v6 what a dream and that color 👏

Thanks for sharing the reality of the buys. Sometimes you win sometimes you don't.
This style content is great. I love the snow drifting
Great video. Keep up the good work. Love the format in not making it too complicated

Great episode. That’s how building my nomad was. I got maybe 20 bolts with the car and it was my first restoration ever
I don't love SUVs but when a Scraplife video comes out I can't help but watch it
I really enjoy watching you put cars together. And once in a while taking stuff apart. I don't know if there's such a thing as being in the green when it comes to Porsche or any other German vehicle. Nice job putting that Porsche together. I wish I could do what you guys do everyday.
Great show. I love the reality of car rebuilding.
Most tools work exactly like they're supposed to right out of the box; tools are amazing!!
Great video man! Just bought my Macan 2018 turbo exclusive performance edition!

I just purchased a 2018 Macan S a few weeks ago. Wrecked similarly. This is so helpful!
Good luck!
Good stuff. I’ll say again this is one of the best channels. A lot of people are missing out!
It was awesome to watch. No matter how long the video or what it's about, you always seem to make it entertaining and informative
Good video content and excellent representation of how & what is involved in trying to give something crashed new life again as a DD and not a project vehicle. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Love that this was done in one video, not 15 and over the course of 8 months....like some other rebuild channels.
Or like some other videos he has posted
It's my favorite video from you guys. We need more!
The car looks amazing, I love Macans especially the GTS, have fun and good luck m8! Good job!
HI buddy I'm your subscriber from Tanzania East Africa the reason i like and i differ you from automotive channels is you most of the time complete your videos thank you for that
I’m not even a fan of the Macan and I loved this video! Awesome new spot welder. And I knew you are a real one when I saw the Knipex pliers 🤙
I have a 2017 Audi Q7, so many VAG parts bin pieces shared between these cars. Not surprised Porsche taxes on these VW parts.
Really enjoyed this type of build video!
hey thanks for making a series into an episode much love !
Great entertaining video, as always. The pace of the videos on this channel is perfect.
Awesome loved it. I think a Macan was the first Porsche I ever drove. I think every modern Porsche kind of reminds me of a cockpit, button's and switches everywhere
Your vids are way 10x better than the other dude on this channel !!!
both are cool

@@tylerwelkerit might also need to be coded or calibrated to the car
It needs calibration with dealer software (Piwis)
I’ve had 5 Porsches the latest was the new 911 S 992. I’ve also had a Macan S fantastic car well worth the hassle.
Very unique color
This was fun because it shows what the actual price would be for a rebuild. It was an awesome build!
This rebuild i enjoyed! Not 30 videos of one car this was dope!
17:41 That bracket will probably work but that break needs some good epoxy repair first.
Loved it! As usual, great vid. Keep them coming.
Loved this video, just recently discovered your channel. I have been watching all of your Porsche videos. Looking forward to seeing more!
Cool to see a rebuild with an real world consumer build. It quickly makes you realize just how quickly the bills mount up with some cars.
Really love these videos!! Great save!!
Thanks for the transparency
New favorite char channel! Nice work! 🫡
Loved it
Great rebuild
Entertaining AF! You and Fernando are funny, good stuff 👍✔
Excellent work. looks pretty darn good.
Thanks for the honest review lol it is hard to make money when rebuilding cars.
Looks beautiful! Remember to align that hood. A future dream car for me as well.
100%, I'm thinking the hinges may have been slightly tweaked, still some work to do!
When I 1st saw the notification I thought is was DALTS Macan
At some point in my life I probably will own a front engine, family Porsche. Will most likely be a panamera/tycan tho. 👍
That's an awesome find! Nice build!
That was one of the best videos ever. lol. And ye been there. Good buys bad buys. Evens out hopefully.
This was great I like seeing you guys rebuild all sorts of different cars
This was a cool rebuild because you didn't have the parts on the shelf like you said and it showed what it would be like if anyone did the rebuild themselves. Cool little SUV never knew anything about them other than I see them on the street.
Always a good day when yall upload. Love the content
Porsche builds nothing but awesome vehicles. Another great build.
Love it an loved the snow drifting ❤

Bravo ! Looks great
Great video Lee!
Loved this build but love anything you guys work on for sure 🤙🏼
I really love the fact that he doesn’t make multiple videos for everytime he orders a new part
Great Job 👍
I love my Macan GTS, best daily I’ve ever owned
BABE WAKE UP SCRAPLIFE GARAGE UPLOADED LETS GOOOOO
I've been eyeing these for a while now.. would love a smoking deal like that👍
We need more luxury car rebuilds! Really enjoyed this
I absolutely loved this rebuild and like you said you. got a great car , well done
