For most people building just one of those cars would be a great lifetime achievement. You’ve built them all. That’s incredible. Keep on keeping on brother!
Thank you very much!
I just finished watching your old build videos. Holy shit mate. This is one of (if not the most) impressive thing any one single person has ever made. Some mothers may argue. Bravo, sir.
😂 Thanks!
I love the little visual cues that prove you built this by hand in your garage. Don't "fix" any of them. Hats off to you Sir!
Would love to watch you build another F1 with all the experience and knowledge you gained from this one.
Who knows, might just happen 🤔
@@BroughBuiltwhy not a clk gtr or clk lm instead ?!
@@BroughBuiltwould you consider making molds and sell kits?! This would be a dream to make an F1
There are many humans on this planet but only a few like you - respect
Your replica looks A M A Z I N G !!! don't ever bother to make it just like the original, you made it your own already.
I was busy watching another video and I got this notification 🤣 figured this is more important. While I should actually be studying for exams.
Lols. Priorities 😁
Donnie, you can never make enough of these Mclaren Rep vids brother. Beautiful work and we " The world" want more. Keep them coming. The interior you did on the ratrod is epic. Super original idea there. You should be proud of all of it. The entire garage is awesome. Much love from Florida USA. Don't ever forget that opinions are like assholes brother.... everyone has one so don't sweat the naysayers. Its based purely on jealousy. Donnie needs to go viral if he hasn't already folks. Like, share and subscribe everyone. This man is so freaking talented that its scary. Imagine what he could build if money wasn't a factor. We only live once and this dude is making it happen the way he sees it and that's all one can ask for in life. I absolutely love this dude.
Thank you for your kind message Matt!! I am humbled
Your fabrication skills are incredible, and self taught too.
So happy to see this 4 yrs later! I followed this and briefly spoke to you about a possible build. Cancer treatments took me in a new direction but always loved watching. Amazing work!
bro wht are u its just jaw dropping
hats off bro
u are a gem
your work is just awesome
how can any of the worlds toppest brands not want u badly
keep the great work up on youtube
a fan from pakistan quetta
love u
"People point out the things I got wrong."
Are you kidding me?! Even if it isn't absoultely perfect the craftsmenship and sheer amazing detail that this care has is WAY beyond what 99.99999% of us could ever hope to acheive. Seriously, you did an amazing job!
Too many haters out there. 🤷🏻♂️
@@erikrummel6277 You're not wrong.
I think Gordon Murray should pay you a visit and give his feedback on your implementation of his design. Incredibly nice work!
That would be a dream come true!
@@BroughBuilt park it in front of GMA
Great work! Keep showing us your projects! Cheers!
Don’t wrry about wat ppl suggest or complain bout it
The car is awesome ppl don’t realise how much time n hardwork u hav put in
Thanks dude!
Thanks for showing the car to us. I, too, have been wondering about it. Superb!!
I've watched your mclaren build video before but didnt know you had such an eclectic collection of builds. Youre a super talented fabricator dude. That bugatti rep is gorgeous
Thank you Joshua! I'm not biased to a specific type of car. There are just so many awesome ones out there. But the Bugatti does have a special place in my heart ☺️
@@BroughBuilt yes I was surprised how varied the collection was. Your d type is going to be awesome and you will get great use out of the custom camper. Keep up the good work. You obviously love it 👍
If I ever make it one day and have the funds, I would pay whatever it took to have one built. Childhood dream car and it is SO COOL to see that you took this from idea to real life. Well done, it is absolutely perfect in every regard even if you think there are flaws or things that could be better!
Your work is absolutely fantastic!
I started watching these videos as a skeptic. Most kit or home built cars end up looking okay from 30 feet but are full of ratty details. This car is INCREDIBLE. Absolutely unbelievably work, sir. Bravo! PS not sure where you live - I used to live in Bryanston.
Magnificent collection ! An amazing achievement Danie - love following your builds
Thank you sir. I really appreciate the feedback. It helps motivate me to keep making these videos. Hard work as you well know😅😅
Thanks for sharing your collection. Love the Bugatti
Looks fantastic! Jaw-dropping work you've done there! It looks like the GTR, not the LM.
Anyone that gives you grief over anything on this car is an absolute joke. Very few ppl in the world today could pull something like this off. Awesome job I see nothing wrong. F’ing masterpiece
Wow thank you! it's very kind to say
Nice video Danni. Two thumbs up. A fabed up stainless header set up with big primaries would look nice and sound nice too. Thanks for answering all my questions i asked about the donor parts you used.
To get the best sound, you need to take those turbos off. Turbos on an F1 is criminal 😋 Go for sound & emotion over power, nothing better than a howling naturally aspirated V 12. Either way you should be immensely proud of what you’ve achieved you are truly talented.
Hehe thanks 😊 It was a very difficult decision to install the turbos because I also felt it was wrong in the spirit that this was one of the last NA supercars.
@@BroughBuilt very true. It was the 1st true hypercar imo. In all honesty mate, it’s your car you should do what makes you happy and be immensely proud of what you’ve achieved, why not try a Mercedes CLK GTR next “wink wink” 😂
Masterful work
Amazing! Reminiscent of Alan Millyard.
this is super cool! For the last couple of years I've been thinking about buying a Lotus Emira and getting a custom body kit to make it look like The Brawler 308 concept by Ash Thorp...
wow... your work is such an inspiration!!! love you car builds too
Howzit, bru? Incredible cars, a true craftsman. Thank you so much for sharing your life’s work with us.
Unbelievably talented and extremely thankful I found your channel!!!! Excellent, excellent, excellent builds and love the content....keep up the phenomenal work sir!!!!
Hi Andrew. Thank you very much for the kind comments!! It really helps keep me motivated when making the content 😊
@BroughBuilt just telling the truth!!! It's absolutely brilliant work and I love that you don't necessarily follow any specific builds/recreation exactly and like to add some of your own flare if need be. You keep the great builds coming and I'll help to build the motivation! Love the channel and stay safe.
This is incredible what a lovely collection. Beautiful work Brough
Thanks!
impressive work earnd my respect
well done man
WOW!!!! Your skills is top class. Great work man.
Thank you!
Wow what a work of art 👍👍👍👍👍
I caught the South African 🇿🇦 accent straight away & had to check your channel out. It looks like a lot of interesting content & I'm looking forward to going through the D Type build.
Awesome! hope you'll enjoy the content!
@@BroughBuilt Its been very entertaining so far. Your talent is incredible. I can see you doing good business making D Type replicas for the UK market.
@@gary5481 That would be nice
Hi from an Isetta owner..
woooow its soo beautiful still and i love the wider front
Love the Mclaren F1 Danie❤️ I heard you were in Rustenburg. Would love to see the cars in person🙏 I started watching your videos during quarantine
Hi there. You are welcome to come around anytime. Do you live nearby?
Well thers one in the banner on my channel, if i'd compare it with the real thing i noticed the frond of the nose is too round above the two air ducts you could make this more flat(the nose is too long anyways) , the head lights are a bit stretched out, still you wouldnt see it if you didnt know it, one of the best copy ive ever seen
Love Your work Bro
Thanks dude!
you didn't do the engine bay.. if I'm not mistaken, the LM F1 had an engine bay lined in 24k gold because BMW has/had a reputation for overheating, and the gold helped to dissipate the heat that came off the engine. I had an inline 6 BMW, and.. you want to talk about a ghost in the machine? i went through the motions, even sought guidance from two different mechanics and still could not find the cause of my overheating problem... at the end of the day it was remedied by constant maintenance and attentive care. could never let the car just sit there and idle. it could be 5 minutes or it could be 45 minutes, or sometimes not at all... all in all it was just about guaranteed to overheat if you just let it run.. but i digress.... damn dude, without the rest of the cars in the garage... that McLaren replica, is an astounding feat in itself.. great job brother. damn nice cars.
I love that you still have it and drive it!!!!!! So awesome!!!
Sidenote- What turn signals did you use for the McLaren?
thankks. I made them from perspex.
Proudly South African Proud of You Sir
I'm glad you made this follow up video, I was wondering about the paint job for sure, especially since I read that fiberglass panels could deteriorate over time? 🤔 I'm sure the carbon fiber is a different story on it's own though, and I'm glad it still looks as amazing as it did when you completed the build. Definitely lots of hard work, but from what I can tell, you're super proud of what you managed to accomplish, and it's been well worth your time and efforts 😊
Thank you. Yes the panels and paint is one thing that I've been most concerned about for the long run. Almost anything else can be repaired or maintained. So far so good though...😅
@@BroughBuilt no but that's good, and I'm glad it's been keeping up over the years 👏 still a beautiful build considering that it's been 4 years, plus it's home built 😌
Wow man, your extremely talented, fantastic job on that car 👍🏻🇺🇸
Thank you very much!
I would love to see you take this car and drive.
Lekker! Such a cool car!!!
Amazing
You’re a truly amazing I wouldn’t worry about what anybody thinks your hands and what you do with aluminum and I have watched other videos is just unbelievable. I also heard you work on a mission Schmitz, so you do airplanes as well. You are quite an artist with aluminum material and fiberglass and automotive I’d like to see something on airplanes that be cool, I bet you’re in demand huh
You are the man!!
Would love too see this car up and personal still.
Building such a legendary car must be a thing to be proud of!
Oh absolutely! Also lots of pressure to get it at least close to right 😁
Only thing I would change on that McLaren build, is the wheels, which you seem to love. I think those don't make it any justice.
What an unbelievable project! How many Ponys are in there? Hats off!
Thanks! only ran to 500hp before my nerves got the better of me on the dyno. But it'll go much more I'm sure
Bravo.
bro has like 70M+ worth of homemade cars just chilling in his garage 🔥
Why tf do you only jave 8k subs you deserve atleast a couple million
Thanks man! Here's to hoping 🍻
In my opinion that widebody is atrocious but i appreciate the work that went into building this
I love your work. Very well done. The only thing I don't like about it are the wide tires. to me It just don't look right with those tires. But other than that beyond amazing craftmanship.
Any complaints are from people who can't you can and it's apparent amazing work only question I'd ask is how much for specks to build 1 or possible kit in the future?
Insane
Brilliant job, much respect to you for bulding all these cars, but particularly the F1 replica. One question I do have is, how/where did you get the windscreen for the F1?
Thank you. I used Lexan. Same stuff they use on race cars and bike helmets. Extremely strong but has to be looked after to not scratch
genius level.
Hi Danie! Just want to congratulate you on the amazing work you have done on all your vehicles! You have an amazing skill! I try keep up with every single video, I enjoy learning from your fabrication. I am going to be building a 1998 Toyota GT - ONE replica Le Mans car. Will be cncing the entire body out of foam which I will then start laying Fibreglass on. I really like the door latches you have used on your Mclaren! Where did you get those aswell as all your other little hood and engine lid fixtures?
Hi Garreth. Thanks for your message! It is great to hear when someone gets inspired by my videos.
The buttons for the doors are industrial power switches (like they use on tools like CNC and so on) that I modified. It is connected via a push rod to the door catch (from a VW Golf mk1). You will see the mechanism itself is on the body and the pin is on the door side. The door can be opened from the inside via a cable operated lever under the passenger seats (same as the original).
The other lid fixtures are called dzus fasteners (they use it in the aircraft industry).
Please keep me posted when you start your project. It sounds like it could be epic!
@@BroughBuilt fantastic thanks Danie! I would definitely like to visit with you and pick your brain on some ideas and see how you have done certain things. Can I email you and we exchange numbers please?
@@GarrethStaveley for sure. My email address is kayaboyzz@live.co.za
@@BroughBuilt hey man did you get my email?
Do a drive with all the other cars and this one
You'll have to come and give a hand then😜
I think I saw a pretty substantial solar array. Nice.
South Africa.... What more must I say 😂😬😭
Give it another 15 years this will be a million dollar car when the others are 80-100 m.
If you had the chance to drive the F1 LM on a race track, would you do it?
Oh yes please!!!! It's something I dream about doing all the time. I'd love to take the Bugatti around a track also. Just to experience what it must've felt like in the old days💥💨
It looks gorgeous bro but will you get license from Mclaren cuz if u can it would be an awesome
Thanks! I doubt it though. Real Mclaren F1s are just on a nother level
I'm curious how much HP did you make on the dyno, and what did the project cost you in materials alone?
We only went to 500hp but my nerves got the best of me! (it's scary seeing your baby being tortured on the dyno) I believe it will go much higher. Cost is also still bit of a mistery to me ( maybe it's better that way 😂)
Hey, I’m curious about the rivets you used, I’m doing some aluminium fabrication if you could message me what you used or leave the links in the commets thanks
Las aletas delanteras menos anchas y las ventanas laterales más grandea y bajas. Se nota a 10 km que es una réplica y es una lástima tanto trabajo para cagárla con algo tan obvio.
How do you get vehicle registration on your custom builds?
It's a long and difficult process. You have to register it as home built. Lots of red tape
How much for the Mclaren F1 Replica ?
💚💚💚🤗
what is the most have you been offered to sell it for?
Lots of offers but never enough 😂😂
Can’t you just swap the quick release hub for a better one? They are not that expensive at all… Heck, I have a spare one that I can ship out to you free of charge! How many bolts is your hub with, 6?
Thank you for the kind offer! I have actually in the mean time removed the quick release hub completely as I was not using it at all
@@BroughBuilt,
Great! I did the same with the one I had installed on my car (not an F1 of any sort, but an old Japanese car from the 90s, called Mitsubishi GTO TT).
8:28
Hey still cheaper than dropping 20 mill on a real one!
Is it road legal?
Yes. Registered as home built
post more mclaren vids
Are you South African?
Hi. Yes proudly 😁
@@BroughBuilt 🙂 great job with the car! You have followed the footsteps of yet another South African - Gordon Murray!
How much do you want to build me one? Not joking LOL being100% legit
Hi. You are going to have to REALLY want one 😄. This was by far my most expensive project.
@@BroughBuilt I may need to talk to my wife about finances cause honestly I might consider. It is a hell of a replica! I've been a mechanic for 20+ years and I don't have the patience to do this kind of project! Put a plaque in there that says "LM07" LOL
8:28 for the Mclaren part
The Mclaren was how I found your channel, I remember seeing something about it long ago and it might have been the cars.co.za one, and I wanted to show my brother and searched and found your channel.
I though the sunroof on the isetta was for if you park too close to the wall and you cant get out, you had to open the roof and push the car away from the wall enough to open the door cause there was no reverse?
Thank you for all the effort you put into making the videos, they make it a happy day for me when ever there is a new one.
Ah thanks Rachael! I always enjoy your comments and feedback 🙂. Had a lekker lag about the sunroof now🤣🤣
I turned on the audio. heard the accent and immediately muted, sorry Brough 😂
You are a beast
Looks so nice but the Question for me is drives it Good ?? A Bodykit can doo alot People but the Good must be the mechanical Parts you need for driving like a F1 gtr
Thank you. I don't think I can compare it with the real F1 but for me performance was more important than anything. That's why I spent so much on the complete drive train, suspension etc.
....next project Grumman F14 Tomcat..
💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯!
Didn't steve urkle drive one of those bmw's
He did! 😂
how do you keep it safe. being a south African person. crime is stupid crazy there
why paid adds. make it so we can skip them
I have the tooling to build the dettling sports car that's on youtube for sale if you want to produce a car that is close but better then the f1 in many many ways.
I am unsure why everyone in the comment section is so hyped about this car. It looks exactly like a homebrew car. I would not want to call this a replica. This is like a turkish Rolex knock off quality.
