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.

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.

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!
-
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)
-
I think I’m gonna rewatch Hoovies R8 vid to make sure it’s the same one 😂😂
-
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.
-
Lol, he can’t afford an r8 but he can afford a p1 😂
-
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!
-
Love watching your resurrection videos. I did this years ago when nobody knew about Copart and other auctions. I had so many projects lined up for retirement, then blew out my back and lost everything. Watching you is the next best thing.

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.
-
We need shop updates. All this new space needs a walkthrough.
-
@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 like how Freddie seems to just be having fun at the moment, it’s nice to see
-
👀 to be fair that is a 24min build… 24min for the bumper, 24min for the hood, 24min for the quarter panel etc
-
Is that Hoovies old R8 that he didn't want to to mess with?
-
I had forgotten that it was from Tyler 😂 but glad you’re resurrecting it. Wish all the best!!
-
You can definately lower those straps easily. Just pull the handle a tiny bit, and use your finger to release and hold open the lock bar down inside while you lower the strap with the handle. Then let go of the lock. And reset. You have to do it a few times but it works.
-
WHERE IS THE MILLION MILE LEXUS ???
-
Bravo for making sure everything is right on the R8. The a/c compressor is prone to failure and should probably be upgraded/replaced since motor out.
-
Wow! Maybe Jack and Freddy have xray vision. They really know their stuff. Looks can be deceiving, but not to this duo. Can’t wait to see the final product. Would absolutely love to drive this car.
