Today, we disassemble my 2007 Audi R8 that I bought from Tyler Hoover of @HooviesGarage - and it's quite possibly the worst example I've ever seen. It has engine issues, gearbox issues, interior issues, cosmetic issues, and it leaks like crazy. So obviously we are going to make it the best Audi R8 ever...I hope.

Quite a few of the early R8 models suffered from a frame cracking issue. Sam Crac had the issue on an R8 he repaired. Audi do sell the parts for the repair. Definitely worth checking for as it's a major safety issue.

AUDI AUDI AUDI 😂😂😂

Can I just say that Jack, (with all due respect I love your videos) is the absolute best guy in the community, I'm so glad he started his channel and he's been a lot more on camera (alongside appearing on different channels)

For the people asking for P1 update that never touched a wrench, understand that working on a car like that even if you’re specialist with deep pockets takes a long time, from ordering parts to research and every other bits, hats off to tavarish and the team for not going the simple route and even taking it a step further on that project. Also I enjoyed this episode and R8 is simply a modern timeless classic.
-
We need shop updates. All this new space needs a walkthrough.
-
The P1 is nothing like the other builds guys. You can't rebuild a P1 overnight. You can find Audi and BMW and Volkswagon parts for everything else, you can't just find replacement parts for a P1. Especially one being converted to a one off unique car. You have to engineer and produce that shit, that takes time and money. A lot of both.

You may need to widen the rear frame to accommodate the s-tronic dual clutch gearbox. The r-tronic is narrower between the rear frame rails. If you measure the frame between the two cars you will see if one is wider. Interested in seeing what you are going to do to. I have always wanted to do this myself but in Australia we don't get alot of crashed super cars. Keep up the good work.
-
Great work! I love that you spend the time going through the repairs and not just farming them out to a local shop. I really enjoy your interactions with Jack. Your project and collaborations with other Youtubers (like Matt Armstrong) really make me look forward to your videos. Keep it up and I can't wait to see how this and the P1 turn out!

Dude's giving away an R8 to viewers.......viewers complain. Keep it up Tavarish, love it all and being mildly add THIS is how i roll!

I hear you brother. The Feeling like you are carrying the weight of the world is a very tough battle, and completely consumes your entire energy to the point, that you have a complete mental breakdown. Much Love ❤️ Much respect 👊🏻

Loved this! Since high school the R8 has been my "kinda-sorta-realistic-but-probably-not-really" 😆dream car, and even if I don't win... it's exciting to watch. Thanks Tavarish & friends for this and the future episodes to come.
-
I had forgotten that it was from Tyler 😂 but glad you’re resurrecting it. Wish all the best!!
-
👀 to be fair that is a 24min build… 24min for the bumper, 24min for the hood, 24min for the quarter panel etc
-
My girlfriends father works at your shop in Tavares and we met in person! Just wanna say your videos are super high quality. I'm not a car guy but I'm hooked on your vids man! Was cool to meet you!
-
I like how Freddie seems to just be having fun at the moment, it’s nice to see
-
@Tavarish Thanks for coming out to say Hi back in Feb when I stopped by the shop and not just running me off the property. Great to see the P1 project briefly in person.
-
I really love how you and Jack get along so well you seem aloy happier now keep up the great work mate :)
-
Maybe hoovie will win it!

Outstanding and funny tear-down. The way you use your platform to shed light on metal heath is also outstanding! Continue to make great content and great builds!
