Man, I was waiting for this video. I'm glad we got to see, the finish. That looks amazing. I know How it is when you're by yourself. Thank you brother Thank you, brother.🎉
Thanks! Still lots to do to fully finish it up but at least I can enjoy it! You’re welcome to shoot me a message if you want to come take a look at it before it’s at 100%
Had no idea that an Audi could sound like that nice! First video, have no idea how I ran into you, instant sub, very easy listening and no profanity, and other than the cars, I have no idea how to fix it. I think they are hot as coals! Watching your next video and the wagon audi is total fire! 🔥 I would put my daily in the garage to drive this beauty. I definitely do like the 4 door S something car of your other video.
the hood not lining up is likely due to the metal part that the hood hinge sits on being damaged and sitting lower from the accident, the hinge pushed it down when the hood got damaged. You’d need one of those wishbone pullers to screw into it and pull it out, any way to fix that is either replacing it or some washers. Bleeding coolant you need a pump to pull vacuum or do the bleeder screws in sc and heat exchanger and there’s also another hose that goes into the firewall that has a hole in it designed like that from factory, pull that out so the hole lets out air, don’t need to pull out all the way
I’m rebuilding a grey B8.5 S4 rn myself. I’m in Massachusetts and it’s crazy hearing you say you can now daily your S4😂 Getting a rebuilt title in Mass is such a headache and of course you can’t drive it before you have that. Been waiting almost 3 months now and my inspection is next Tuesday…..wish me luck😭
In my case this s4 somehow never got a salvage title, so luckily I didn’t have to deal with that. I definitely wouldn’t have passed the rebuild inspection here without those airbags and seatbelts fixed, dents and misalignment they don’t care about. I’ve been there though, good luck!
conngrats. one recommendation. Next time you have to splice a bunch of wires like that in a harness stagger the spices so you don't get a fat ball of couplings. If you make the wires different lengths the couplings will be in different places and the final harnes will be slimmer like factory👍
Very nice work. I have a question, please. My car’s headlights don’t work. Nothing works in it. I tested the lights from the battery and it works. But when I reinstall it in the car, it doesn’t work. What is wrong my car 2007 vw touareg V6
I just had to program in the end stops: car in drive & steering wheel straight, turn left all the way and hold until the beep, turn right all the way till the beep, done. No programming was needed
To an extent I agree that the fees are frustrating, but keep in mind that Copart doesn’t pocket the money from the bid. They’re not the actual seller of the car, insurance is, Copart simply provides a platform and acts as a broker. With that in mind consider their expenses: a lot of real estate, equipment, wages for the various employees (customer service, IT people for the website and app, call centers, forklift operators, people who take the pictures and receive the cars, etc etc) They have a lot of expenses and after all this is a business which was created with the purpose of making money, and that’s what they’re doing for which I personally, can’t blame them.
Plus the $4200 I paid for the car with all the fees is still a good deal in my opinion. Everyone, including myself, posts the bid amount simply because it’s a better clickbait
100% agreed, sketchy is the best I’ve got at the moment, because I am the one paying for the shop (not really sure what you were getting at there). Thing is that I’m willing to look past sketchy things like wrong color panels and some panel gaps considering that this allows me to enjoy a $20k car for $8000 (cost of parts car included). Plus like I mentioned in this video as well as previous ones, I do plan to fully finish it eventually, the main thing was getting it to a drivable condition.
There’s a lot that goes into s4 swapping an a4. It would be a much more involved process, which isn’t really worth it considering that the a4 has a rebuilt and flood title, on top of “not actual mileage”. There’s wiring that would need to be changed, differentials, brakes, suspension, basically all control modules, etc etc
Looks like only blind people watching your videos .......bro you spend 3000$ to buy that crap now you add 2 months of work (not even close to finish ) and you have a car that is still not road worthy stay away from bumbs and holes and when you finish it ...if you do what's next ? Keep it forever or scam someone and sell it 😉
Skip over to 07:08 for the @mercracing heat exchanger install
Congratz on the Mercracing HX. Keep going with the channel dude
The smile on your face on the first ride, priceless! You did it dude!!! What a great project so happy to see it come together finally! Well done🫡
Thank you!!!
Man, I was waiting for this video. I'm glad we got to see, the finish.
That looks amazing. I know How it is when you're by yourself. Thank you brother Thank you, brother.🎉
I’m So happy to see it come back to life I was waiting for this video I’m glad to see you enjoy the car it definitely is a blast to drive👏🎉

I really enjoyed this rebuild! Glad to say I’m an OG 😎
This is amazing man. Keep up the good work.
So pumped to see you got it going dude!👊🏼
definitely worth the effort! well done
We have got to get you a proper S-Line or S4 bumper to go on there!

i cant wait to see the allroad videos.

Excited to see if you solve the ac light not staying on. I have the same issue after rebuilding coolant system

Thanks, that's a good call.
Turn it into a track car 😊
looks like way too much work on the A4. pull all good parts and scrap it. thats my advice.
Clean rebuild wanna do the same to a b8.5🙏🏾
Cool!

First I would check the headlight fuses. Otherwise maybe the short wiring loom/ harness? They frequently have insulation fall apart and create shorts
Please take your time and rebuild the car
Did you get yellow light off steering? I read you have to program new rack to car. did you do anything special or just swap? Thanks
I just had to program in the end stops: car in drive & steering wheel straight, turn left all the way and hold until the beep, turn right all the way till the beep, done.
No programming was needed
@@artemvysh thank you will try
The roof air bag from the parts car does not fit on the s4 ?
It does, completely forgot that I need to do that lol, thanks
Copart fees is crazy… we the people need to start hold them accountable! Enough is enough with them.
To an extent I agree that the fees are frustrating, but keep in mind that Copart doesn’t pocket the money from the bid. They’re not the actual seller of the car, insurance is, Copart simply provides a platform and acts as a broker.
With that in mind consider their expenses: a lot of real estate, equipment, wages for the various employees (customer service, IT people for the website and app, call centers, forklift operators, people who take the pictures and receive the cars, etc etc)

Another solid video, Sir. We specifically produce LEDs for auto. Can we invite you to do a review for our product? We have emailed for an inquiry.
Now you have an a4 bumper on an s4 ?🤦♂️
There is a difference between an a4 and s4 front bumper
S4 has bent frame. Ah, it’s ok.
Part’s car is wrong color. No biggie
100% sketchy fix.
Nice shop. Lift. Paid by who?
100% agreed, sketchy is the best I’ve got at the moment, because I am the one paying for the shop (not really sure what you were getting at there).

Plus like I mentioned in this video as well as previous ones, I do plan to fully finish it eventually, the main thing was getting it to a drivable condition.
Am I the only one thinking about swapping everything to the other car? or I'm dumb?

@artemvysh These are basic things compared to driving a frame-damaged car

What in your opinion makes the car not road worthy?
