I Rebuilt A $96,000 Porsche Macan GTS CHEAP!

- Welp.. After rebuilding far too many Porsche 911's it was time to find ourselves a matching daily driver at the salvage auction! I settled on a 2018 Macan GTS with a CRAZY options list, a $96,000 MSRP, finished in a sick paint to sample color called black grey!
I was able to buy it for nearly $70k off MSRP, but I might have underestimated the Porsche tax I was in for...

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 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.
I agree!
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.
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
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!!
As a 2018 macan S owner that has done all of what you said, I fully support this statement.
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. 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.
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.
Love the fact that you contained the build in one video. Well done as always
Absolutely loved this build, easily one of my favorite on the channel!
so glad to see the channel starting to blow up!Been a fan for over a year!love the Porsche content!
This style content is great. I love the snow drifting
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 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!
Congrats on the build! This is definitely my favorite car channel, its nice to see car videos that aren't 500 episodes long.
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.
Great video. Keep up the good work. Love the format in not making it too complicated
Loved it
Great rebuild
Great show. I love the reality of car rebuilding.
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!
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. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thanks for the transparency
Thanks for sharing the reality of the buys. Sometimes you win sometimes you don't.
hey thanks for making a series into an episode much love !
Love it an loved the snow drifting ❤
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!
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
@@mitchellfrankum219yet here you are
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
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
Great entertaining video, as always. The pace of the videos on this channel is perfect.
We need more luxury car rebuilds! Really enjoyed this
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!
This was great I like seeing you guys rebuild all sorts of different cars
Really love these videos!! Great save!!
what about the red manual dodge
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 absolutely loved this rebuild and like you said you. got a great car , well done
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
This rebuild i enjoyed! Not 30 videos of one car this was dope!
Bravo ! Looks great
Good stuff. I’ll say again this is one of the best channels. A lot of people are missing out!
It's my favorite video from you guys. We need more!
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!
Loved this build but love anything you guys work on for sure 🤙🏼
Always a good day when yall upload. Love the content
Great episode. That’s how building my nomad was. I got maybe 20 bolts with the car and it was my first restoration ever
Hey guys, found your channel a while ago and it really got me hooked. Thats some quality content. Just won a new sub. Cheers from Sao Paulo
Brilliant vid lee
Keep up the amazing work brother
hell yeah! love the macan!
One thing i noticed is you mentioned radiator fan on constant. Ambient temperature sensor on front end will be one if your missing connections. Plus parking sensors. Keep up the good work 👍👍👍
fully enjoyed this build.
I loved this video. Reason being i Like the Macan GTS so it was interesting to watch one be rebuilt. I definitely think it was worth it. Still a cool car.
Most tools work exactly like they're supposed to right out of the box; tools are amazing!!
Loved the video!
Love you videos keep it up ❤️
Awesome all wheel drive project
Love the build😊🎉❤
I've always liked the macan, this was an awesome build
That's an awesome find! Nice build!
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.
Loved the rebuild I always do great job
Great video Lee!
I see yah on bay bridge🎉...sounds good
Love the Macan GTS
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.
@@tylerwelkerit might also need to be coded or calibrated to the car
It needs calibration with dealer software (Piwis)
I've been eyeing these for a while now.. would love a smoking deal like that👍
Badass build deadass
I just purchased a 2018 Macan S a few weeks ago. Wrecked similarly. This is so helpful!
Good luck!
bro i see how the bonnet sits high to the doors and the gap with ur fender
sick build
Such a cracking channel this one. Great stuff lads.
I purchased the same car with the similar front damage. I went through exactly the same issues. So many parts and they delayed me 1 to 2 weeks every time I learned I needed more stuff. If I had everything I would’ve been done in a weekend, but it took 2 months
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!
Great build. I love my Macan.
amazing content!
Looks awesome love the color
Great Job 👍
Entertaining AF! You and Fernando are funny, good stuff 👍✔
Firstly loved the video. Great to see something new, how long did this build take with and without waiting for parts 😅 also would love some more merch ideas from you guys. Do you have enough vehicles for a calendar or more shirts with photos on them, thanks again all the way from Australia! Been watching for years believe it or not
Love that color
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.
Love your vids
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.
There are a couple drift cars out there that use a first gen 02-07 Porsche Cayenne 4.5 liter v8 with a pair of twin turbos (roughly 600-650 hp). Swapping it into a Caymen GT4 to make a discount Carrera GT or an older 993 (or the 996) Carrera might make for a cool project.
This was fun because it shows what the actual price would be for a rebuild. It was an awesome build!
Hey do you know your really really good at putting out great content. Love the vids. Shout out to Fernando’s sharp hair haha😂
damn...I feel invincible after putting a piece of trim back on right, I can't imagine the level of satisfaction you felt when you were done.
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.
Porsche builds nothing but awesome vehicles. Another great build.
Carrington , you're pretty humble you have more skills than you think
Love the ride not a bad deal
I don't love SUVs but when a Scraplife video comes out I can't help but watch it
New favorite char channel! Nice work! 🫡
Cool vid!!
Heck yea
