- Time to carry on the repair of my #salvage #audi #tt mk2 8j.
I bought this car from auction after it had been stolen, crashed and set on fire and took it upon myself to restore this to a better condition than before the previous events and add my own twists along the way.

Repairs. Detailing. Comedy. Motors. That's what I know & I know what I like.
I’ve just finished restoring an Astra Van, have changed it to use a VXR chassis and had the same. I got distracted when putting the rear shock on and left a bolt slightly loose, couldn’t tell by feel or eye, and it knocked a lot. Lesson learnt, tightened up and all fixed. Not saying yours is that simple, but worth a check.
Keenly watching this series and eager to see the modern solutions/alternatives to that stereo and those expensive MagRide shocks.
Looking good again Chris..nice to see u hook up with Mat again 👍🏻
A natural in front of the camera! Love the collaboration too!
Thanks Mark!
Last bit was hilarious with Mat, looking good chris
love you guys keep it good work you both enjoy all vids
Would you consider doing a Transit custom build in the future Chris? Nobody had done a salvage repair. You could do the full MRST bodykit wide arch conversion and facelift it at the same time. You can use it for collecting body parts for future builds too 👌
“This car is easy to work on” *runs into a problem* 🤣🤣
I know it was self inflicted, but it was funny 😂
Hey, there is Matt! Love to see him involved!
Getting there now, looking forward to completion. 👍👍👍👍👍
Great content mate, definitely loving the progress of the channel, Keep up the good work.
Use T cut on the head unit. Thank me later.
Ill give it a crack!
@@Chris_Slix they actually done a special t cut for glass and plastics in a tube not seen for a while so not sure if still available good for headlights as well
I just bought a TTS they drive so good handle wicked
Cant wait to drive this one!
Your garage lighting is very nice 👍
Thank you!
Top stuff lad! Love the lighting in the garage! Shocks had it seems like it’s popped or damaged as the seeping is from the bottom 😊
If you cover the radio screen with some matte ppf it will hide all of the marks. It’s just scratches in the anti glare coating
I changed the gear knob on mine before For a ttrs one bit off a pain in the but to change
Team MaCs smashing the rebuilds.
Cris’s your funny man 😂 great vids love your top lights in your garage x
Another great video bud keep up the good work
i love this project❤ i have the same car😁 Greetings from Germany🇩🇪
Guten Tag 🙏
Good luck mate it looks great 👍
Use window cleaner and micro fibre cloth, it's a coating which turns like that in time and if you rub off all the anti glare coat it's actually better.
Nats but was so funny and chris your doi g a great job 👍👍👍
You’re dead right about buying g a ‘CAT’ car Chris. Even lightly damaged cars are often written off just because parts are on back order and the insurance don’t want to fork out for a like-for-like hire car for months. It’s cheaper for the insurance to write it off and recoup a lot of the money selling through Copart than it is to pay for the hire car. Likewise seriously damaged cars are often repaired (particularly if it’s the other party at fault) and no future buyer is aware of it. A few years back we had a Land Rover T-Bone our Z4, really badly damaged, seen much less damage on Copart cars, I was sure it’d be a write off, but it wasn’t us at fault and the other party insurance repaired it.
Brilliant content, love the matt Armstrong collaborations 😂 but couldn’t help noticing the rear subframe bushings don’t look great, maybe just worth eliminating any other unwanted noise/play. Keep them coming 👍👌
Glad you enjoyed it, ill take a look at them.
Shocks are buggered!!
Awesome work bro,! Keep up!!!🎉
Thanks 🔥
Can't wait to see it finished and what you do with the front grille.
Burn it with fire 🤣
Great content Chris 👌🏻
thank you!
Brilliant
Great video as always🙌🏻 Maybe get an oem looking carplay replacement for the headunit? Would make much more sense if youre maybe gonna be using it as a daily
That's the plan!
You mentioned bumper 156 times during this video and each time, you said "buuumpar" instead of bamper, I now have this word stuck in my mind for the rest of the day, cheers 🤣
Boompah* 🤣
With the gear nob i did exactly the same with my tts. If you ever have to take it off again put a cable tie behind the trigger so you cant accidentally press it
great tip!
Your getting pretty slick at this now mate....or should that be slix... 🤣👍👍
🤙
By the way, if you want some good navi for this car, search for pioneer 360DAB 2022, it fits perfectly on TT MK2, and it has android auto and apple car play via bluetooth (DAB included) and it sounds better then the original, since u have bose its gonna be a BLESS (plus u can install rear camera and a mic pretty easy).
if that front bumper would have been silver i would have buy it from you xD, i think its insanely good looking on the tt with honey combs
Channel is a gem of a find! Well done Chris you deserve more subscribers! This is as good as Matt Armstrongs content.
Glad you think so!
Can’t wIt to see the progress of this build
Third commenter to the video? Am slowly becoming a big fan of this channel. 👍
Yes you are! Thank you so much you legend.
Deffos looks like a knackered shock mate, they shouldn't move up that easy!
Good luck with it
thanks mark!
Get sun visor clips from audi... surprisingly cheaper than ebay!
At first I was like "This intro sounds very Matt Armstrong like" and what do you know :D
Hey u need to replace both back shocks mate
Rear end sounds more like a ARB link or d bush to me .😮
Mat'z bodyshop 😹😹
Matt Armstrong Vibes.
Love the videos Chris, going to give you some harsh and honest truths here, you need to find an alternative word to 'vibes' I heard you say 'solid vibes' 'big vibes' 'crazy vibes' in this video haha
Thanks! I didnt even notice 🤣 thanks for the heads up
Don't be killing the vibe 🤣
Armstrong and slix show mind you the price on garage spaces is outrageous sharing is caring and mat working at mallory performance is not bad for your cheap mates rates tune it's like watching the copart leased damaged fix with chri slix at least mats are always been put round a tree or in a proper un drive able state its not adiss but its not original either that's the least fire damaged car I've seen
Chris who is that mate bloke I don’t think he has a clue 😂😂😂
Your stabilizer bar rubbers are shot in the back I think.
You may be right!
Mate why did someone do this to your beautiful car 😲
Check the first video on this car buddy! 😊
That grill is awful back to OEM would be an upgrade 👍
I agree! 🤣
A leaking shocker would in fact stop the rust
Great video, just hard to watch due to sound, very hollow and echoey. I know its because of the garage etc, maybe some sound deadening or different mic. Great content though
I think its unavoidable in my garage as it such a small space with hard surfaces. I may look into sound insulation as the channel progresses I'm sure you can imagine I loose money on every video and my garage's sole purpose at the moment is for my detailing work. Thank your watching and for your feedback though Carl!
Rear shocks are known to be shit on Audis
CHRIS IS MY NAIGHBOR IF Y READ THIS CHRIS IM ON UUR STREEEEEEETT
Im sorry for all the loud cars 🤣
@@Chris_Slix nah bro its ok👍👍👍
btw my house is in this title lol
ngl the stuff u do it pretty cool but whats weird is that a 9 yr old likes cars and stuf and not just a yr old a 9 yr old GiRl
Can I get this grill off you or am I wasting my time?
Sure, just need it for a few more weeks!
Stop talking show the repair in normal speed
6 hour video incoming!
I've watched quite a few of these videos now and can't help thinking it's very similar to your friend Matt's channel to the point where you're sort of doing the same cars he's already done. Maybe some original content would be good, like choosing cars that Matt hasn't done already, just my opinion. It just all feels a bit "samey" watching this so not so inclined to watch this as much as Matt's channels
The problem here is how many cars he has done! I agree i do want to try and keep the cars as different as possible but we do have very similar taste in cars and what is affordable 😅 I appreciate your feedback and it is something that is on my mind but at the same time i don’t want to start building a diesel fiesta if you see what i mean 🤣 hopefully the more the channel grows the more i can afford to go for cars which are more rare!
Thanks for watching 😊
@@Chris_Slix Thanks for the reply Chris, hats off to you, the cars are lovely, I think it would just be nice to maybe look at something different. There are heaps of crash damaged vehicles out there that must be worth looking at. I completely appreciate that Matt is your mate but you could definitely go for something different. Maybe start by making a list of the car's Matt has done so you know not to go there. I'm sure Matt will help out where he can and obviously, the growth he's had with his channel has obviously afforded him the wealth to take on the bigger projects. Perhaps you could take over that 635 CSi BMW that he started and seems to have disappeared into the ether, we haven't seen that since it went away somewhere, perhaps you could finish that for him if he has so much else on his plate, that would be great to see that car finished, a proper classic. I'm not suggesting any particular car to go for, just dare to be different which I believe might help you generate some more interest. Keep up the good work, I very much like what you did with the interior of the TT you're currently doing with the alcantara trim.
@@nickcann he does have a plan for the 635i but that would be way too big a job for me to tackle with all the welding required! Unfortunately im not full time on this at the moment so i have to pick cars with a reasonable turn around rate as otherwise it would get very stagnant very quickly. Copart (or similar) does dictate the purchases we can make and its not always as simple as picking a car sometimes the car picks us! But I completely understand your point of view.
But hey lets see what the future brings!
As soon as you said a bunch of bolts turned you off you're to Americanised.
