- In this video I am going to talk about how you can make a ultimate sleeper car and have $500 in your pocket as well. It may sound too good to be true but its not, watch this video all the way to the end and you'll see I will make my Audi into a sleeper and make money too.

Paint your calipers red and put some NOS stickers on your windows. That right there is 82hp.
Taylor F. Don't forget about the alloy rims for 20 hp each.
Yeah man. He already has some.... but if he didnt have them he would def have to.
But then it won't be a sleeper
I don't want to be that guy but my car dyno'd only 78 more horsepower after these mods. Not 82. Please stop spreading lies.
If you want real, power gains, mix in a can of Monster Energy drink, every time you fill up.
this dude is mad smart. why would you even want to buy a new car if you can buy 2 used cars and have fun fixing things on the cheap?
August Method because it wont be reliable still its an old car people need to work and dont have time to do this and if my pos project car broke down in the morning and i couldent get to work id be pissed
@@wesleeysutton5935 You make it reliable. That is what I would do first the Audis was very over engineered if you do the basics it will run forever.
I want to agree, but some folks would lose money putting their time (time IS $) into a project like this. Then, you have Life to Live. Family. Kids. Etc.
then, ultimate there’s the issue with having the Know How. Not everyone is Handy.
Being a good mechanic can pay off if you love to drive cars. They usually go together .
@Michael Meyer, as an A6 owner myself brother, UNFORTUNATELY you ARE correct! I think mine has 4-6 different codes going right now and it seems as I'm slowly fixing them, more things arise with it being an 01 and the shitty 2.8 liter motor.
Gotta love Craigslist! "It needs coils an spark plugs" and you end up with a blown engine or something... or you get "It needs a timing chain, I think it broke - has no compression" and ended up being a dead battery and getting no spark.
Love your vids, Can't wait to see more! Sucks you had to go to a smaller garage though.
keith cunningham lady said her "mechanic" said the timing slipped in her Civic. It was a no start when I got there. Bought from her because the body was in great condition.. turns out it was just a starter.
I bought an olds delta 88 a couple years ago. The owners said they couldn't figure out what was going on with it and decided it would be better to not have it checked by a mechanic, so after I bought it and inspect it for a couple minutes i realize the fuel pump relay and fuel pump were completely shot. I got a perfectly running car for $200 and an extra $100 on a fuel pump, relay and filter. That was honestly the best deal I've gotten on a car! I just recently sold it after rebuilding the engine (kinda, pretty much just did timing, cooling, gaskets, plugs and coils the rest was pretty solid) for $1200 after driving it for 2 years.
dana44s Same thing happened to me with jetta guy lied through his teeth wouldn't take it back or nothing so we towed it back to his house after thrashing the hell out of it and blocked his driveway with it. He called me back a couple days later saying sorry and begged for us to move it I hung up and blocked his number .....carma is a bitch lol
Needs a battery, tow away, my loss is your gain
When I saw this in my notifications, I thought you were going to put a mattress in the back and call it a sleeper.
hahaa me too
I don't even care about Audis but I'd watch anything you upload. I love that you're sharing your knowledge, experience, and are excellent at filming and explaining everything. So glad I found this channel!
With only 500 dollars and 1000 hours of labour.
Ben Cook and 2000 songs of rage later.

If you know what you are doing you can have the engine pulled and the whole front end removed in a single weekend. All it takes is the knowledge, tools, and hard work. I have flipped a house in a week, and done this type of thing on my own car in less then a month after is got hit. As long as it is front end damage only... dealing with quarter panel damage is a whole different animal, and can take far longer to do.
Not really .That fender unbolts fairly easily .Light just plugs and bolts in and if any plastic connections broken he has the parts . Hood a 2 man job ,but not that hard to do. He is also in the car business so he knows where to get the parts repainted for a reasonable cost .Remember with the panels replaced there is no real body work ,just sand and paint and clearcoat. At the same time any other paint issues can be done by a body shop that can blend in . Even if he did not refinish the lights himself bet you he can get that done for $60.00 to $80.00. He was being very conservative on prices he could get for the parts off the doner car . Just do the math .He has a car for 0 dollars . Beats the hell out of a car payment .
A lot of men like working on their cars . Great sense of accomplishment ,saves money and you learn a lot . Plus as you are working on your car you tend to maintain it really well so it lasts .
It's a labor of love.
Really looking forward to this project!
Dude, every sense I watched your clear coat spot fix, I really like your vids. Keep it up.
put the 2.8 badge on the 2.7
Kevin Baloyra that extra 0.1 will help him alot im sure
Power Chill he's saying that because the 2.8 is slower than the 2.7t. Helps with the sleeper status.
No, badge it down to 1.8T :-D
1.8 T is sometimes fast so for ultimate sleeper status he should put 1.9 TDI badge
Kevin Baloyra
Put a HEMI badge on it.
...still won't make a difference...
This is my favorite channel now. THANK YOU
Excellent video... Gave me some ideas..
I love these "cheap, easy, $20.00 fixes" that sellers always claim. If it's so ready why didn't they fix it themselves, BS.
Miguel Carrasco, Jr depends on how lazy they were. Had a friend that wasn't mechanically savvy, and instead of fixing small issues that made the car feel and run crappy he just got a new car. guy he sold it to spent $150 and replaced all the parts, had it running like new lol.
Because the majority of people don't work on their cars fool !!
You rock buddy! Looking forward to the project.
YOU'RE GIVING UP ONE OF MY SECRETS!!! I've done this type of thing for years now. If you can find 2 of the same cars for cheap, making one good one out of two is always easy. You still might have to buy a few things, but it is still the way to go. This is how the ORIGINAL flippers would make money from cars!!!
Use the heads from the 2.8 mate :) they fit for upgrade to the 2.7TT
You are my favorite car guy on youtube. I love this video.
The amount of calculations u did omg...lol...
This project is LIT! Awesome
Nice job. I'd love to see more of this project.
Exciting project, can't wait to see the next videos. Good job man.
it needs blinker light fluid
also needs muffler bearings
Spark enhancers!
What about exhaust spray
Never gets old
I've always wanted to try buying two of the same cars on an auction site and "frankensteining" them together. Can't wait to see how everything turns out!
Good work, you have earned yourself a new subscriber! :D
I hope you make this a nice video series... this is pretty cool
You are simply awesome. Can't wait to see your upcoming videos. Have learned a tremendous amount from you already.
I am 100% sure painting flames on your car at home will add all the HP you need
Great videos. Really enjoy them as I've been a hot rodder my whole life
Can't wait to see how it turns.. Goodluck!!!😄😤
"Runs a little rough, probably just needs new spark plugs"
"Needs a new clutch, just a $50 part"
"Loses just a bit of coolant but doesn't drip any on the ground"
This channel is a game changer, amazing.
Man, this sounds cool. I wonder what would it take me from zero knowledge to a level that can do this.
same engine on my Passat minus the turbos. Timing chain wasn't too tough. I actually like the service position on these cars; gives me lots of room to work.
Always love your videos 😀
My first car was an 04 audi A6 quattro 4.2 biturbo and I loved it to death. This is pure nostalgia.
cameron miller there is no A6 with a turbo 4.2
Aaron Reihl not a factory turbo num nuts but there is most definitely a 2004 4.2 L A6
Reread your original comment lol
Aaron Reihl okay touché but you know what I mean now lol
Appreciate the video and the great idea!
Great buy and look forward to the fix up.
#RatchetAndWrenches , I just liked, shared, and subscribed. Thank you for making and taking the time to explain how to make money off this kind of purchase. Are you gonna explain getting the salvage title switched for insurance and registration?
I spent 7 years in the NAVY on submarines and got hurt badly on one. Lost both legs. But I go to police auctions and bought a Plymouth Fury with a 440 6 pack with some engine problems. I got it for 700.00 and tested the compression and it was great. Old cars like that are easy to fix .
Great series on the sleeper Audi. Level of detail is worth the video by themselves.
i think the S in Audi S6 stands for sleeper.
I know there are other mechanics out there... but you are incredibly easy to learn from. Sure wish you were here in the Austin, TX area! All the very best to you... always!!!
Most people are not that ambitious. But it looks like a plan. I'll definitely keep watching to see the outcome.
Brilliant again
Car porrn...you cant stop watching
Thanks, good informative video!
Looking forward to this project.
Glad to see you back in the pit stop !
Its a great idea in theory and maybe a fun project. He left out how he actually got the dead car in his driveway. A tow could vary $50-150. Next labor costs money, even if its you whos doing the work, its time. and then the intensive time involved with finding individuals interested with leftover parts such as - putting up ads, answering calls, setting up time for people to come over for the parts they are interested in, actually taking off the parts, etc
A good video would be on the best way to decarbon the Audi direct port injection engines. And installing oil catch cans in the PVC system to avoid or greatly reduce the problem.
I'm thinking of the Audi s6 v10, but this applies to any direct port injected engine, and the oil catch cans are good for any engine that you don't want the valves and intake sludged up
Congratulations, those two vehicles are a very good buy. I'm thinking of buying a cheap car myself because my truck only gets 15mpg. My truck would then be mostly for off road driving on the weekend.
The best usable part he got from the spare car was the clean title and Vin plate lol
Besides these projects, I'm digging your mechanic's shirts...where do you get those?
Cool. I'm kind of already doing this. I needed seats and a door for my car, and after seeing the cost and shipping for those parts, ended up just getting a Craigslist parts car. The cool thing is that I keep finding things on the parts car that are better than the parts on the one I'm fixing, things like fog lights or mirrors or trim panels or whatever. It's good to have a parts car.
inb4 everyone's driveway is going to be stacked with junkers
this is the one Im talking about your very good you should be presenting your really good thanks for doing the video I really appreciate them.
Cool video, just subbed. Wish i had your skills. So many good sleeper car opportunities here in Miami. We have so many nice cars down here. Huge market.
AUDI 2.7 Bi-Turbo one of the best engine to tune up to 500hp. Under 6.000€.
How?
Ko4 turbo or higher, air filter, exhaust, intercooler and then remap, I got an s4 b5 saloon. I'm about to do this :)
It makes sense to find another car exactly the same model for cheap and strip it of usable parts to be used for the other car you are restoring/re-building. You will still be ahead of the ball game if you sell the rest of the parts.
Great video! I have a question, where do you sell the catalytic converter at for scrap metal?
Actually, I did kinda the same thing to fix my 98 Honda civic. My project car had a bad motor (rod shot through the block) but good otherwise interior and exterior. Bought a wrecked donor car with a good motor swapped it out and now have a pretty nice car. Didn't bother selling parts though.
Your part out prices are on point.
I like your plan! You know I'll be back.
Where has this channel been hiding?!
Yeah, parting out a car should bring in some cash if you have a place to let it sit. When I was looking for a good Jetta door, prices were as high as you paid for the whole car! This should be a fun series to watch.
The DOORS alone my god - $300 each if you include the windows and regulators. The interior panels 50-70 each. and there's FOUR of them!!! $$$$$ There's a decent market for them too - I replaced my girlfriend's door when she wrecked it with one of the exact paint code. Saved $2000 in body work.
hahaha the notes on youtube feed said two weeks ago...this video was posted today...wtf google/youtube?!!>!
You have me tempted to pick one of these up man.
RnW, do a breakdown build, for a later project, to further investigate why the 2.8 is dead...
Good luck mate
This guy is one smart dude, knows how to make money. Pay attention to him.
I have 87 e30 , last year I bought a bought a parts car . It was a 83 with the 4 cylinder. I used the wheels ,front fenders, both bumpers, most of the interior including the seats , cluster, and ect, 240 for the car. Everything I got off of it was worth it. Both bumpers were at least 350 or more . Came out on getting a parts car. Just do it. It's worth it
Oh yeah. I switched out the doors so I could have Manuel windows
the way to save money is only get the headlight and keep the little dent on the hood and the scratch on the fender
Ive seen two videos and I’d buy anything you had for sale. #trust 👍🏽
Great video
Neat project. Good luck with it. eBay is fantastic for parting out if you have the time to package send out and communicate with the buyers.
Good buys!
I think I said this in one of you older video's I would bet that Audi is pushing the same as a B5 S4 about 261 bhp, and 295 ft lb of torque, this is the UK version, my one. I think the US version is slightly less. Just change the turbos from a B5 RS4 and engine management, you will get 100+ bhp right of the bat. well 375 bhp and 325 ft lb of torque, again this is UK figures. Quick and easy to do.Will look forward to your vids mate.Dave UK
You brought a 2.7t engine/box/loom ect ect for £500!!!!!
You sir, win the internet for me today.
Let's not forget guys what exactly this engine comes from
As an owner of a 2.7 same body style. I'm looking at doing the same exact thing. I work at a dealership that sells these cars and works on them. Unfortunately the 2.8 heads did not fit on my engine and i had to settle for the 2.7 heads. Just letting you know.
Swapping those 2.8 heads onto the 2.7t is a pretty common mod. You might want to look into it since you've got that 2.8 right there.
Good info
very good idea !!!
This guy is a genius !
Could you please go over how to get salvage cars and go through the process of getting the title off of salvage, etc? It is really fascinating to me how to do that. There are so many "salvage" cars out there that would be easy fixes, but I and probably many others are afraid of the red tape.
You can't get rid of a salvage title once it's been put on the car. That's illegal. Even if this guy knew, why would he tell you, because you could be a snitch.
parteibonza Oh, I didn't know that. I thought you could get an inspection or something and get a new title?
Hmm, google is your friend, it varies by state and it is possible after a safety inspection, and it will be listed as "Rebuilt salvage" for the rest of the life of the vehicle, which can be driven legally, and insured, etc. Thanks for nothing. lol en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salvage_title www.autos.com/car-buying/is-it-possible-to-remove-the-salvaged-title-on-a-vehicle itstillruns.com/clear-salvage-title-4765620.html www.thebalance.com/how-to-get-a-salvage-title-removed-on-a-vehicle-527543

Owh nice view outside garage. So all this time you're working at your home garage.. now i know :)
Nice! A C5 build, finally. Sell me the 2.8 my 2.4 is slow
Joe Barbaro you were good in Mafia 2 lol
Are you gonna be like ETCG and end up with a salvage yard in your garage
That sounds good however not everyone has a dealer's license. So this may not work for the average consumer. Very informative video.
Love it!
put the 2.8 heads on the 2.7t, they add about 80whp as they have bigger valve ports
Im not a huge car person but love your vids
How much trouble is it getting a functional title from auto auctions and tow company auctions? Being able to register a vehicle is kind of important.
keep the 2.8 cylinder heads msy be good for a build on the 2.7tt
Good stuff. I would 1.9 TDI badge that bad boy so fast.
Bring it Civic R. 🤣
ahhhh the 2.7t a6 that was my first car it was so reliable and fun in the winter you should put in 2 new blow off valves these years had ten with the wrong materials
I have been thinking about getting into car business. Have you ever been to dealer only auction and how was it
Nothing like a old chevrolet car with that is rear wheel drive and have a push rod V8 in it.maintenance is easy and they are reliable and easy to work on like 87caprice or 90-96 Caprice impala,Roadmaster,Fleetwood
Smart idea
we need this
Sick video
Love the vid
One big turbo good sparkplugs, Audi R8 Red coils, tune n youre good to go
You should swap the badges for extra sleeper mode
Same engine with a possibly different setup is to be found in rs4 pushing 380bhp and that's good for 0-62mph in 4.8 second...
I do this with guitars and scooters lol, buy cheap restore and sell. good way to make money just gotta have patience
