McLaren P1 part 344 “Today, we are getting all of the sand out of Jack’ s buttcrack, he accidentally sat down in the passenger seat”
Wrong website my guy
Part 355. How to clean blood out of a parts washer
You have a amazing and positive team . You guys move in same direction
Congratulations
Crack watching.?....interesting
Only 340 more parts to go
The fact that McLaren received you and let their master tech give informal advice to you is awesome. Keep it going Freddy! This project is nuts and amazing to see!
I was wondering how they'd feel about him doing all this himself, it's awesome to see a company like mclaren being so cool
Ferrari would be going mental and trying to sue people 😂😂
Yeah, the project is nuts. Not the guy that took it on ;)
@@matdur2000 😅
Great advertising for the branch, simple
The fact that McLaren welcomed you and honored your crazy request is a big plus for them. I love them already 😊
It’s like you said, if this was Ferrari they would have laughed you out the shop. Can’t wait to see what’s next.
he is trying to repair a totaled car. every manufactured would just sell him a new car for less money. ofc they laughed xD
@@Doofens that was what he went there to find out.. the fact that they, or the specialist there, didnt laugh him out of there proves that you are wrong there. Maybe Ferrari would. I dunno. That was the point.
My guess is that the team at McLaren is rooting for this build to happen. This is some of the greatest advertising ever.
I don't see why they wouldn't. Like you said free advertising, plus show the company in a very good light with right to repair.
@@Jd-zl7mn let's be honest, they're a supercar manufacturer. They don't really need advertising through channels like this one, but the fact that they treated Freedy well only proved that they're good guys
Let's be honest. Tavarish isn't just some guy promoting a car. 🤣
@@TrigonAZR yeah. Also most people that will buy these cars won't fix it themselves and just have the money.
@@TrigonAZR it's not like they need it, it's about this being free advertising, and dam good advertising
Once he fixes this car , this guy will make the history in the car community. I trust him all your efforts will pay off !
Throw ridiculous amounts of money at something almost anythings repairable
Any other car rebuild youtubers like Mat Armstrong would restore it successfully. But it's not like this guy and Samcrac have a great reputation in that field 😂
Rstarossas f40 build will be another epic one. Maybe one day we will get a F1 build...maybe
I think 🤔 he is just always looking up to ed trying to keep up with the Ed’s lmoa everyone looks up to Ed it’s hard not too😂
"will pay off" - what year will be writing?
As someone who crashed their 350z into a pond, and got it out, it took me 3 months to fully clean every inch of the car, and replace and fix everything I needed to in the interior, I seriously respect this guys commitment to restoring this P1. I was lucky because no water actually got into my engine, and now my car has made a full recovery, but just fixing the interior and everything underneath the car was a big project. water in cars really sucks
Awesome that McLaren spent the time to look over your p1 and let you film etc. Its times like thst when you see that the company as a whole is truly about cars and the love of them rather than just profit margins and image. Jesse is the kinda guy you want working on your car, an 'its not so bad' attitude makes all the difference to what is possible
I'm very impressed with how well the local McLaren service center treated you. How well you all cleaned this car is seriously amazing.
They wouldn't treat the average Joe this way. Tavarish has a following which goes a long way with getting treated better.
I’m local to this dealership and all around the people are like this. Sales dude talked w us for an hour telling us things we didn’t know about some of the cars
You'd be shocked how friendly most truly high end dealers are. Far less snobby than your typical BMW or Audi dealer. I spoke to one of the salesmen at Ferrari in La Jolla for probably an hour. No airs or pretention and he knew his stuff, including history. I think they never quite know to whom they're speaking and also what that person will become and who they'll remember.
Been to McLaren Orlando and the team there were amazing at showing us stuff. Top Service!
To whomever is reading this - wishing you the best morning/night - remember, what we think, we become 🧠💰
I'm impressed how they actually showed even a slither of interest. There are dealerships so snobby and up on their high horses they'll laugh at you right in your face. This technician seemed a bit more down to earth and simpler to talk to than even some basic car technicians I've met. Respect
Millions of people are going to watch these videos, and they'll be remembered for years to come. Being a douche would bite you in the ass.
The camera effect
Yeah i bet if he showed up by himself with no camera they'd prolly just laugh at his face and be told to leave lol
I think its also 'the Aussie effect'. He is 100% Aussie that tech and in general, we are reasonably friendly peeps.
I was impressed that the tech thought it was worth repairing, and that he humoured us all by providing a quote to repair it while knowing that it would never be repaired by McLaren.
They seem very willing to work with their customers to repair their cars if that's what the customer wants. Case in point, Rowan Atkinson's crash and fire damaged F1, the factory pulled out the original moulds and recreated carbon pieces that were out of production to get it back on the road.
Yes, it's a very special car, but they could have just said "no, it's a write-off, we haven't made those cars for years".
19:48 As it happens, me and my family were staying near here when we visited the Kennedy Space Center. I was surprised to see a McLaren dealership "in the middle of nowhere" so to speak and we stopped by on the way home to check it out - just to see if I could show my kids some cool cars through the windows or something. Well me and my family pile out of our Outlander and a salesman meets us at the door with a smile and I explain that we'd just like to see the cars and he welcomed us in, showed us around, allowed our two sons to see some of most expensive and cool cars they've ever seen up close and personal. They offered us water, anwered questions, and were extremely accomodating all while completely understanding we'd never buy a car.
+1 to this place and the people there. Ironically, this was also the year I met both ChrisFix and Tavarish at a veterans event at Lowes in Sarasota, FL. It's been a year of meetings for my family and this channel, apparently. :))
1:30 Freddie wearing the Demolition Ranch T-Shirt proves there is going to be a CROSSOVER episode in the near future!
Jesse is the man!! He’s a buddy of my mine and he started off as a valet at a Porsche dealer. He worked his way all the way up to the only P1 certified tech in Florida.
He seems like a nice humble dude!
@@isaaaac1223 he deserves a P1
Wow! Had come to comment about how he looks like a very knowledgeable but chill dude
Very sick versions of exclusive McLarens that I’ve never seen before🔥🔥
@@Carson-pb5pf why cant you put this shit where it is appropriate
Freddie knew what he was doing going to the dealership.. They give you a parts list of everything you are going to need.. Smart move my man..
😂😂😂 smart af. Content + the info
@@easymoney9462 hes gona need a new car dat one is trashed...
@@veigadevil not really, people have restored much much worse
@@jamesmaybrick2001 annoying as fuck poeple doubting tavarish just clicked on the wrong youtube channel for them
Well it helps him figure out if it's worth putting in the time/money to repair something that's on the car or replace it (if they'll sell it to him) :)
I have always wondered why exactly flood cars are considered a total loss. After watching the last 4 videos I understand perfectly now. Good luck gentlemen, I hope she drives again.
You know when you’re sick and have horrid anxious dreams? I got that feeling listening to the price list from McLaren.
Freddy and his team cannot get enough applaud for jumping into this project, but I have to say that McLaren deserves a major high five for them welcoming and helping you out. Even if it is just a little bit. I do believe there are plenty of up stuck brands out there who would just ignore you at best - Or even send you a cease and desist for even trying..
Totally agree. Just look at all the hoops Matt has had to go through to get parts for his GT3 from Porsche in the US.
Yeah they rhyme with "Bararri"
*cough*Ferrari*cough*
All they see is dollar bills for all the parts he is gonna have to buy, so why wouldn't they help😅
It's free publicity, there's no such thing as bad publicity, this actually remembers us how "good" and which public the brand is positioned/targeted to as well... so I think it's a win-win for both parties. Freddy gets his content, they get brand positioning.
Major props to the dealership for doing this. I don't know of too many that would take the time (and be willing to be on camera to boot). Now I'm anxiously awaiting to see how Freddie gets $750K in parts for pennies on the dollar (which he seems to be good at).
Ferrari definitely would not
I feel like he's listing a lot of things he may not necessarily need, like a front clam, both doors.... Given I can't see the car but that doesn't ALL look destroyed beyond salvation
Custom fabrication of the carbon parts can be done. Not cheap, but likely much less expensive than having an OEM do it.
We all knew that it would be 1-1.2 mil in total. In essence, he can sort it and bring it back from the grave and it'll be worth about that he has spent on it. That said, yes, there are firms that will do factory spec panels and carbon fiber for less, as a part of that markup is converting pounds to dollars and shipping (versus firms in the U.S. that make similar hypercars and F1 machines). I'd honestly just maybe DO carbon fiber versus paint.
To whomever is reading this - wishing you the best morning/night - remember, what we think, we become 🧠💰
Gold with red flacks let’s go!!! Respect GGG-unit !!!
Music was BUSSIN this episode. And I love the dry ice cleaning... so satisfying.
The look of horror and utter fear in the lead techs face during the initial assessment was amazing 😂😂😂
he would have been thrilled to get a look under the skirt of the fabled Mclaren P1 'hurricane'
@@MrXennhorn that is if he got to look there i mean with all the endless sand 😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@MrXennhorn THAT'S IT ! You've done it, Mr X . We have here The one and only (hopefully) McLaren P1 Hurricane . Come on , the name alone is worth a Mill (apart from the 'provenence' !)
these cars rarely get a dent because nobody ever drives them and Tavarish brings one that floated in ocean's water :)) we gotta love the man
ok
The lead McLaren tech looking around the car was priceless. "Oh", and "Ooh yeah" was pretty much all he could find. Dude has never been presented with a P1 (or any car) in that state before.
Respect for doing this project, dude. I hope it's a massive success for you. Definitely a risk/reward project!
I'm guessing he has seen worse actually. What should he have done? There was no need to get all hyped up.
Save all the Amoebae and Typhus dust along with Giant Asian Hornets, to throw on those decrepit June parades.
June Parades + Giant Asian Hornets = COMEDYYYYYYYYYYY!!! 😆
@@MAGGOT_VOMITwhat drugs are you on mate
This tech was down to earth and i like that
23:05 I have a Lego Technic build of the Sienna. Gave me great appreciation of what even a fraction of the effort is that goes into building these machines
This project gives me incredible anxiety. It's just so insane and involved. Tavarish, you are a legend for tackling this.
After all the dry ice, it's starting to look like an actual project car instead of a rolling disaster. Nice work guys!
Watching Freddy do this on a 2 million dollar flooded hypercar inspires me to change my spark plugs
you are not alone budy, I had to same thing happen to me when I watch Jamie Oliver...
I walked to the fridge and made a sandwich!!
On a sidenote: when I watched a video of Sasha Grey I didn't know what to do :/
Hilarious😂
ok
If any one can get this McLaren p1 back on the road and running hard it is going to be Tavares Mr. T I remember what you did with your white convertible lamborghini gallardo and I remember what you almost did to the Bugatti Veyron that the guide deliberately ran into the lakeHave at it buddy thanks for inviting us along for the journey👍
It's absolutely amazing that your last nine videos have all broken a million views, it makes me incredibly happy to see! keep up the great work 😊
I'd love it to stay yellow. I thought it was such a striking colour, so fitting for a car like that. The yellow is fantastic, but it's your car so do what makes you happy!
Yea man the original yellow on this car is stunning
Another vote for yellow - it looks amazing ❤
It's known as THAT yellow P1. So I rekon its stays for provenance
I hope Freddy sees this as I also root for it to stay in its original color, which is Yellow. 👍
Yellow for sure. Something about those scoops in the hood with that yellow is so good
This is the best thing on TH-cam. Big congrats to McLaren for getting involved and to Freddy for putting those parts prices in context. I wish you well - this is insane and amazing in equal measure!
Credit where credit is due to McLaren. I loved Freddie's comment about how Ferrari would probably sue him if he tried doing this to a LaFerrari. It's funny cuz it's true.
Yeah, all the best to Freddie, but he should bloody speed up this project, and frequency of new videos. Last one was 3 weeks ago and the car was basically in the same condition, all they have done to it since was remove the windshield and clean the interior a bit. And get a pointless repair quote they’re not going to use (yeah, they might use the parts list, but it’s still mostly just body parts, which they plan on repairing rather than replacing). They should have had the turbos and engine parts disassembled by this point, to get a better estimate on most important (and difficult to repair) mechanical parts. I know this is going to be a long project, but seriously, are they working on other cars on the side, or what’s taking so long? Every time a new video comes out I go back to check and make sure I haven’t missed any in between. I thought they were going to be really focused on this project, and post weekly videos with major progress updates, and a couple of lightly edited behind the scenes workshop videos on the second channel, for people interested to follow more in-depth. At this rate many people are going to lose interest and stop following the soap opera. It reminds me why I basically stopped watching this channel long time ago, and I was coming back with high hopes for an intense, interesting project. So far it’s been mostly just fiddling around and joking at how they have no clue what it’s even gonna take to repair this thing.
Sorry, I’m off my soapbox now. Just get the project rolling guys, best of luck.
Thank you for doing what you do. after watching 5 minutes of this, I learned that anything delicate and fragile is supposed to be treated with the greatest care. The McLaren P1 here unfortunately suffered a brutal beating. And now I think that even if you restore it back to "factory or even better" condition, it won't be the same at all. This awesome machine was crafted with surgical precision. Its not easy to recreate or even fix something like this without the proper tools.
Can’t believe they let you talk to the McLaren guy on camera, brilliant!
This is literally my favourite series on youtube right now. The sheer dedication driving this man is insane. I can't wait to finally see the episode where he sits down behind the wheel and lets the engine rip wild.
Oh! You don't know about Project Binky then! ;)
Well done Mclaren, always nice to see a manufacturer support their customers.
Yea when you pay $90,000 for 1 door lmfao.

Tavarish is a legend. I was skeptical tbh despite how good he is a restos but now I’m all in!!!! You got this one in the bag lol 😊
Any of the solid colors shown in that showroom will work amazing. You did the metallic paint look already on the 675. The orange was fire!
This guy is a legend the fact that he already made the car look this good is insane
They haven't even fixed anything yet have they?
@@cmac6136 no lmao, they've literally just done a teardown on the car, some dry ice cleaning to get rid of the sand and *maybe* cleaned up some corrosion. No idea what this guy is talking about - this car is in miserable shape and the camera most certainly doesn't do it justice.
@@user-nk3re4dj5h Yeah this is never getting done, another delusional project that he won't ever finish.
Cleaning the space shuttle was easy too.,repairing one a different matter entirely
"already" lol 2 months to clean a car, so insane

83 likes and no replies imma fix that
as much fun as what Mr. Time Bucks? What are you trying to say
Yeah
👍
Nice
pretty cool watching your adventures. feel like a friend, though i know you get that a lot.
Thanks for all the content, and the laughs.
That car in the showroom screams, "I am Batman!" Wow! The progress on your P1 is amazing. The McLaren technician was so personable and helpful 🙌🏾💯
Is it me or does everyone think it would be a stellar move for McLaren to "help" you out with parts as a gesture of good faith? Not that they have or need to but man, that would be so amazing to see that kind of support and collaboration. Either way, you are the only YTber that has a "cheap" P1, regardless of condition. lol Eagerly awaiting the next video!
They're in the business of making money and that car was meant for an extremely elite subset of humans.
It's expensive for many reasons. The smartest move with this car would've been to part out whatever is still good, but we're here for the bad decisions and saving something rare.
I still don't know how he's getting past the certificate of destruction...
They need to be very careful. I am certain that their legal team will be very upfront and tell any and all employees to avoid cameras or document any "help" or "parts" aside from doing so and charging a consultation fee along with parts at retail cost minus any small discount once a certain total gets eclipsed. There are many McLaren customers and former customers that got hosed or feel screwed over in the past. As a manufacturer they have a very specific target market and they do not want to deviate from that business model. I am surprised they didn't make a deal with the insurance company to dismantle and make the VIN go to a destroyed list. If they are doing well and making a profit each quarter then they would have bought it...their legal team would tell them to but the accountants may not have approved the deal. These cars are known to be anything but reliable. When you buy one the price you pay is the starting point and will only grow with time even if you just keep it in a garage. I find this whole thing interesting and I am rooting for Freddie. This would never happen without the ability to recover money from ads and this platform. Maybe the manufacturer wanted this to go as it has up to this point too. It's interesting business on all ends. Takes guts to be involved in any of this.
I think their brand would benefit from anything that would help prospective customers wanting to own the cars. I think McLaren is awesome, and the performance is pretty impressive. But I don’t know if I’d ever want to own one of their cars. At any price point there’s something I’d more likely end up with.
McLaren have had problems with reliability, build quality, resale, parts availability, parts pricing and servicing. That just sounds like a grating ownership experience. Making their cars more accessible by reducing the barriers to keep them on the road would do a lot for the brand.
There are original P1 owners that have sold off their cars because they didn’t want to have to deal with the headaches that come with an aging P1 that needs major system upgrades.
All Mclarens are incredible. But these perceived issues impact the whole market.
So people like Freddy, or an independent specialist should be able to work on these cars. Otherwise their in the business of selling super cars that will lose a huge chunk of their value in less than 10 years. McLaren should have the goal of keeping as many of their cars on the road as possible.
@@jukee67 Agreed 100%.
They can't do something on good faith because their loyal customers would feel like being a content creator gets you special treatment. They probably are hoping to show viewers just how difficult it is, and expensive, to rebuild something like this so that people will understand that it takes over $2,000,000 just in parts to restore it and you'll lose thousands of hours in the process. Want to replace the body panels, glass, battery? That's fine, it's going to cost you half a million. You won't have a warranty and you'll still have another $250k in parts to go.
Like has been stated, they have a set market. They don't need any publicity nor would it benefit them financially in any way. Therefore, while it would be great, it would be extremely unlikely they would so much as even give a slight discount as there is no need for them to.
Depending on the harness price... you can always de-pin the plugs, cut off and replace the pins and put them back together. Pretty simple job, I do it all the time on bikes. Just time consuming. I'll come do it for you, lol I love wiring.
You don't know how far up the wiring the rust ingress has gone. Could cause big unpredictable problems later.
@@althejazzmanyou sound like a warranty administrator. Lol
@@SalinasBMW Unfortunatley he is correct, Salt water corrosion will creep into copper wiring a long ways and even though it appears to only be on the surface that is exactly how electricity travels. On the surface.
I would just rebuild the entire cable harness myself. Would take some time and effort but cost a fraction of what McLaren would charge.
@@althejazzman just rub them up and down, it will be fine, if you still have issues generously apply the w40. If you want proper connections you cant use plugs anyway, you have to solder them. one wire at a time, a 12 year old could do it.
Just discovered the channel. I can't wait to watch this build unfold. As for colour I liked that Volcano Orange you showed... or the teal. They were both great. Also as a Kiwi I loved the car in the Orlando showroom that paid homage to the New Zealand creator with his name and a little kiwi on the door.
The attitude of the dealership guy was truly amazing. The price list was... amazing. :-)
Awsome that mclaren took the time out to inspect and help out many big car companies would avoid it like the plague. it's also fantastic advertising for them and for your channel loving this p1 restoration
Please keep the P1 the solar beam yellow!! That color is gorgeous, and one of the reasons the car is famous
I agree 👍🏼
Absolutely
FACTS!
I agree
100%
Bro you got some serious balls for attempting this. Mad respect!
This car attracts all the TH-cam attention, McLaren should at least try to help rather treat him like a regular customer.
I mean they have been known to produce faulty cars and their name is not clear by any chance, helping Tavarish would shed some light into their name as the community will welcome them.
McLaren isn't playing this smart at all, and between us it's peanuts money for them for a huge profit.
Tavarish is one of the very, very few TH-camrs who's uploads will make me stop whatever I'm doing to watch as soon as I notice them.
Bad obsession motorsport
wow! i cant believe in the next episode the p1 is already fixed and re specced in purple, you work fast mr tavarish
LOL, this comment is underrated
Accomplishing something that no other person has achieved before is truly amazing!!! Hopefully Jay Leno gets you on the show. The car will be worth a lot more to collectors in the future. 🏁🙌🏻👏🏻😎
DUDE THE DARK PURPLE P1 from the one of top gear or grand tour specials with Jeremy and Richard was absolutely GORGEOUS
30 years from now, when this car rolls across a concours lawn a grey haired Freddy will exclaim "AND I"D DO IT AGAIN SONNY!" Legendary stuff my friend.
😂😂
ok
YEA NO

@@patrickdali9124 there isn't a single clean mclaren p1 going for less than 1.8 million
The look on Jack's face when Freddie calls out some of these prices is entertaining in and of itself... 😂🤣😅
Yes, he is almost weeping.
More than super car mechanical work, more than engineering... this channel is about teamwork.
That is one of my 3 dream cars. I am so jealous you're getting to work on it. I don't envy the bill tho lol. Really enjoyed this series. P1s are just the baddest looking car around imo right there with an F40 and R33 GTR. Those are the 3 cars I'd daresay do absolutely anything for. Best of luck getting her back to factory specs or better.
honestly a midnight purple p1 would look insane
What im saying bro where the deep purp!?
The P1 press car is dark metallic purple
@@lloyd.8272 Amethyst black maybe
Midnight purple
If we're talking Skyline colors, some form of Millennium Jade might look epic on this thing
McLaren have gone up sooo much in my humble estimations after this episode. So refreshing to see a company treat their fans and car owners with respect and patience.
It’s such a great opportunity for really great free press! They’d be fools not to take advantage of this. But as we know many super/hyper car manufacturers couldn’t care less. They want people to feel they are out of reach and unattainable.
@@granthoover9045 Which is the reason I am have almost no interest in modern supercars and the like now. Probably my loss, but they just do absolutely nothing for me. Old git alert.
Man, they wanna charge $15k for headlights. Idk about respect with this one lmao
@@PommesPeterZK prices like that are inevitable when you're talking about hypercars
@@epicgamerchannel6230 I am aware but at the end of the day its still just a headlight. There is absolutely 0 chance that it even costs a fraction of that to produce and rest is just Markup because its a hypercar. Which, if you think about it, isn't really a good reason.
That Elite Volcano Orange looks great. That is the color I would choose and I love blue and red too but that orange just looks amazing.
Go for Volcano Amber, black wheels and trim, superb! (And a Hull City badge in the window!)😉😉
You need to bring this on a trailer to a P1 gathering. You're an owner. You should qualify to take part. I guarantee it would be the most looked at P1 at any gathering. In the words of a Sith lord...DO IT.
Oh definitely. It’s the most famous P1 and everyone would love to ask questions or see how the progress
More like they'd judge you for being poor
@@DaelinTV you really havw a bad view of the car community
@@martinberg3970 bro the people buying 2 million dollar cars aren't part of the car community, the car community is composed of people wishing they had nice cars and those that worked very hard for their cars. To the mega rich their car is just another thing. I'm not hating on rich people in general, just saying they probably wouldn't be as appreciative as you or I.
@@DaelinTV facts
Props to McLaren for playing ball with Freddy and especially to the technician. Super cool dude.
+100 respect to the McLaren team! Couldn’t have done a better job at this
Honestly I would go with a deep dark purple. I'm not really a purple fan but on the P1 I think it would look really good.
This is amazing! I think everyone has a little stake in the success of this project: us TH-cam viewers, all of the content creators that have visited and filmed at your shop, Copart, McClaren, probably eBay Motors when you get parts, and a ton of people I've forgotten. We're all rooting for you, Freddie!
You have to give props to the McClaren for even taking the time to consider looking at the car, and letting u go look around.
Most high end luxury car dealers would probably laugh and say no way are u bringing that to out shop.
Ohh and Orange you should definitely go with a orange color..
I think mclaren wanted to see it or the guy wouldn’t have mentioned photographing the entire thing to show his company
Facts.
It’s big advertisement for mclaren
@@IamBATMAN2024 exactly, they basically got 1 million free views.
Thank you for rebuilding this piece of art. Without TH-cam this wouldn’t be possible i guess. But this car after beeing rebuild will be on earth for 1000 years minimum i guess. At some point in a museum.. maybe even with your story and videos. Just imagine people watching this in 1000 years. This will be like a coach for us now.
Huge props to everyone involved. Taking a reclamation job like this and pouring your heart into bringing it back to life has to be one of the greatest experiences ever.
the education you are getting is the real gem here... after you got a running car I would imagine you will be one of the P1 go-to guys
Yeah, as in "Go To McLaren, I want nothing to do with this anymore!"
Take as much as years you want but now you have to complete this project. I’m 21 years old and I’ll be ready to watch the final part even in my 80’s. Good luck. ❤❤
Unless your a footballer it’s not viable 😂
there should be a few crashed P1s by then, perfect source for motor parts.
@@airtec87 people don't drive these things any more, they're worth too much money...
You should paint it black with red secondary color, my favorite combo. Best of luck on the rebuild 😊
I was lucky to meet Freddie at Mallory Performance when he was in the UK visiting Matt Armstrong……really nice guy and very open to just talk cars…good look with the rebuild Freddie
With the colour I would keep it what it is just now. That car has one hell of a story and should keep it the same way. Love this series so much. One of my favourite cars and seeing the engineering behind it all is great. Mad how in contact it is after what it was in. Cant wait to see it done.
He won’t do that he will be fully restoring it.
I agree with keeping it looking like the world famous car that it is. I dont care if he repaints it or adds new body parts but keep it Mclaren yellow
Who would buy a two million dollar banana in the first place?
@@OMGWTFLOLSMH Chocolate and shit are the same color. I still expect you to know the difference though.
Given those prices I am even more in awe of you Freddie, I have a feeling you are going to knock this out of this world.
The Speedtail is one of the most beautiful cars ever made IMO.
Black is the best colour for a P1 for sure. It looks incredible in black.
Very impressed by this project, concerning the color, personally I would stick to its original paint in order to keep the car as authentic as possible.
Inderdaad
Agreed, never change the colour. But in this case it's been flooded and then repaired on TH-cam. No boubt he will do a fantastic job but this car is never going to win a concourse again. So I say go wild!!! This will end up being enjoyed for what it is and be the highest milage P1 on the road.
this transformation was WILD 🤩
real
hey fellow kids
Real YT team comment?
Yooo it’s the real TH-cam!
Fr
can't wait for the next steps! Thanks guys
Any Orange color for the P1 for sure would look amazing
Not sure that anything on TH-cam in ‘23 can beat Mr Tavarish and his P1. The chap and his team is all kind of awesome. Thank you for continually brilliant content. 👍
Wait for it
Very nice of the dealership to cooperate with what you’re doing here.👍
free publicity
Insane is putting it lightly. You deserve all the pain and the rewards at the end.. Rooting for your success.
Found you from the episode on Stay Tuned. I’m sitting here cracking up at the reaction to the estimate lol. Dope content! Subscribed!
My hat goes off to you for taking on such a major project and not giving up. That has got to be super anxiety producing but also makes for great entertainment.
He gets his money back on the series. It’s a profit no matter what.
@@osu33089 he took out a loan to buy it, so the series better be a success. More stress.
I love the current color scheme. The most I would deviate would be to Tangerine. Consider the yellow car sitting next to the 675. The yellow and blue would POP!
I’m here for this rebuild every step of the way!
I’m currently at pt4 watching this it’s like a movie I can’t wait to see the final product and seeing the McLaren dealership w the master tech is something we just don’t see everyday lesgooooo!!!!
So happy to see that episode coming out. We're all behind you Freddy, you'll that done !
The Mclaren Tech was just speechless, hes soo nervous for the guy and this project hes taken on.... Tavarish doing all his best to justify this car...keep it up brotha! cant wait to see it when done!
He is spechless yes. But he cant say much things on camera. He is reprensenting McLaren so he cant say much negative things about the cars . Its obvious he thinks about what he says. He could get fired for saying negative things .
Bro i wish like i really wish you can have that much money to build this p1 cause the way working out with this car is so amazing to watch and take risks with this enthusiasm. Bro hats off ❤
Dark Metallic Purple, just like the PI00V P1 seen on Top Gear.
Wow I'm impressed by the dry ice cleaning. Incredible results.
Didn't think it was a thing!
Right
it would really be nice to see the p1 painted in in a gold/brown almost sand like color with blue details, paying homage to its history
That gold colour is gorgeous... with bronze or silver details it would pop
Amazing ❤ McClaren dealers in Houston were so amazing.....though the selections in Florida 😮❤❤❤😮
I subbed because of this video series. So satisfying to watch!
I think the P1 should stay yellow.
Not my first choice if I was to spec a new one but imagine how cool it will look when restored to it's former glory.
I think if you change the colour, people won't appreciate how much work you have done when they see the before and after pictures.
Exactly what I said.
I 100% agree with this statement.
Yep, think the yellow before and after a good move, but also like other ideas about some sort of recognition of what this car went through in the flood, so maybe yellow with an aqua blue/green "tide-line" along the base??
What Tavarish is doing with this thing is just absolute insanity, and im here for every minute of it. Who does something this crazy? Freddie does. Thanks for this content freddie
Killing it brotha, best series yet. Bringing in the views too I see.
That carbon tub damage looks structural. I'm excited to see how you fix that.
