These cars are so over complicated over-engineered and don't need to be but they will cost a lot of money imagine buying one in 10 years time and how much money you would need to spend on it just like a BMW X6 overcomplicated and overpriced

Just watched all of the rs7 videos this morning. Watching this one again.

With no formal training, I am very impressed with your insight and clarity about what you need to do to fix it, and your determination and grit to do it. I admire that, and you!

Always Sawzall next to your cars battery.

Wonder how many thousands the last body shop charged for that hack job? Great job Rich.

Good on ya for tackling this yourself Rich.

it's motivational. Almost wish I woulda attempted the quarter panels on my Nova. eh.... idk.. LOL Thanks for the entertainment rich.

Awesome job!

would have been much easier to just paintless dent repair the trunk and reweld that weld job and paint it...

6:09 make sure to loose one (amature certified youtuber) when you disassemble and assemble it with screws left over and its still holding then you are certified pro engineer :P

Thanks for sharing this!

That's one strong folding 💺

Why am I watching this, guess I like repairs as well. Don't care much about cars but seems like a well done repairs channel good work.

In Forza, I tried making your rs7 but instead painted it carbon fibre

Who goes looking in your truck ? Lol

Do you use a modified head lamp for your go pro? Lol

Software engineer turn technician/innovator you are?

You could say it is Samcrac

Rich you're the best!! Lost Focus!!!!!

no heat gun and you re using a flame confused dude

Sanding without a N95 or face mask, burning substances with a blow torch on a car, not wearing gloves to protect your hands... Anyone of those can cause you extreme suffering down the road.

Does that chicken farmer look like Adam Sandler?

Kind of surprised Rich didn't take off the back of the exhaust as well knowing it wasn't in the right place either so it would make a little more room underneath. But darn man this is great fab work to watch.

Impressive! Promotion 😎 sneaked in just like that!

Well at least uncle Rich used protective gear including gloves and such for doing all this body work...oh wait...nevermind

Rich, cuz, if your gonna work on cars and film (ty for that). You got to get a GoPro and put it on a helmet, or sweat band. You can use both your hands to work.

Just if you did not know it but Key is missing with a Keyless VWagen's (Including bugatti and lambo) in a 95% means a low car battery or issues with voltage on ECU/ immobilizer. Rest 5% - key is actually not coded in your car.

Not bad but I thought he would use actual point welder...

YO THAT SNAKE PROBABLY ATE THOSE RATS IN THE FILTER, LOL YOU'RE GOING TO BE LINED UP FOR A RACE AND SNAKES AND RATS SHOOTING OUT OF YOUR EXHAUST LOL GREAT VIDEO MAN

So your one of those guys, goes both ways, dose your wife know?

sorry to say but im one of those guys that only uses the tools availible

Make sure you lose one

RICH, first time commenting and congratulation on the restoration. Hind sight is 20/20 and going forward, would it not have been better to just remove the rear passenger seat, pick and replace the entire piece with a better cosmetic outcome than what you had to do for salvaging the old forward section and now left with the re attachment point of the salvaged forward section and the newer replaced trunk floor visible for all to see. Stay positive as always Cheers

Wow towards the end, the whole weight of the car is on that blue camping chair! What a solid chair Rich! Which brand is it? 😁

So You did Bring home some Extra Pets for the Kids..

Grand job, looking good. Seeing those so called "Professional Repairs" makes my welding and panel repairs on my old car English car (I can't get the parts for my car, so I have to create compound curves among other items) look pretty good! Pity the second batch of spray paint made a couple of months later is lighter, but hey I am getting there.

A FU#king SNAKE ? 🙀 Are you KIDDING ?? I could never get in it ever after that.

Damn nice repair, I love the fact that you decided to replace te pieces that were fixable. Looks great so far :)

As a carpenter I feel bad for that chisel.

Looking at the quality of the work done by the previous owner makes me think his name should be Sam Crap.

You pay too much attention to comments

Hellooo. I’m new to your channel. And no I don’t have an electric car!! Hahaha. I drive a 1993 Honda Accord ex. And I love it, I’ve owed it for 18 years, with other cars too. I know some people that have done a “K” Honda swop for the Mini Cooper. Good luck, luv the channel maaaan!!! I give ya an A-!! Great job, glad you chose to do it yourself!!! Cheers!! 👊🏼💪🏼👍🏼

Nice "Safety Flip Flops" I see there..... excellent use of PPE. :/

Did you retire the kitchen knife?

Man, wow, you inspire me! Thanx!!

The best oil is the free oil!

I was pretty much with you until you sprayed primer without masking or at least providing some protection to the exposed interior, exhaust, undercarriage... well everything. Over-spray get's EVERYWHERE, Rich! In any case, fun to watch a project like this. Thanks for sharing!

6:03 "make sure you lose one." OH-MAN I LAUGHED SO HARD AT THIS!

Your accent literally comes outta no where lol, is that jersey ?

Gas or electric it doesn't matter to me. If it's fast I'm on board. Electric instant torque is unbelievable. But hard to beat that amazing V8 sound.

Done well. Love your humor.

Rich says "I don't have any auto body experience" Rips apart entire rear of car then puts it back together. I am dead!

How did you manage to avoid those horrific electronic fault messages (hill hold assist, parking camera, ESC etc) on your dashboard once you had disconnected your battery?

Came to learn about some RS7 stuff, died laughing instead.

Dude, that's impressive! You now have a sub in me. I look forward to more videos.

Where on Earth did you find rubbing alcohol in these days and times????????????????????????????

One trick to figure out where spot welds are is to take flat black (cheapest pos spray paint you can find) and paint the whole area with it. Then, the hidden spot welds will pop out instantly in vision. Alternatively (but this is messy as hell) just throw graphite powder with an applicator. I prefer the paint variant since you're already going to have to paint it anyways. Plus, unlike back in the day, you have weld through flat black paint (if you don't wanna cheap out) and that's just pumping.

you are the best USgone channel. Much love, keep doing you!

Really thought there was a sneak peek of the sponsor at 1:03 but, maybe I was just too paranoid

Start a gofundme then it's our audi

I have worked on my father's Chrysler town and country and it has 1 bolt in the taillight and it pops out

Props for taking on a repair like this in your garage (with a rusty chisel...) - good work bud. And that thing sounds like a Spitfire when it's running! The previous 'repair work' was appalling - bodywork by Stevie Wonder.

You did a great job bro look good.. I want a Audi a7 🙏🙏 I love this car I'm SAVEING for one right now

there is an extremely high pitched noise in the middle of this video

F

Man yore inspiring!

What's up with the mini??

Imagine having an RS7 and ordering chinese parts for it, shame on you previous owner

I'm not interested in cars but this is still entertaining

Another unfinished Samcrac rebuild... LOL

I dig the I8 build, glad you showed it

Does this type of repair affect the overall rigidity and integrity of the car? Will the car be as safe, etc?

The repairs look great.

you really should be proud.. super nice fix job. janky days are behind! now a skillful diyer!!

WOAH WOAH WOAH the exhaust is armytrix?!?!

Absolutely loved this vid Rich - I am especially fond of how you keep in all the stuff that doesn't quite work out. The car is an absolute beast and definitely deserved a better repair than it had when you bought it. Now that rear area looks great. Awesome work.

Best add yet featuring corn hub

Amazing DYI work, really enjoy doing all my work also. Keep up the good work.

You should start your own business brotha you're super smart & your work ethic is amazing!!!!..

Cornhub, first time I've rewound an ad! HA!

Am a x Aircraft sheet metal mechanic you did a A plus ➕ job on removing that belly pan

Good job I will give you B plus on the sealant job

Get a pneumatic sealant gun its lot more consistant than a manual gun

13:18 Looks like someone tried welding with a hammer.

Good Job.

It's "sneak PEEK", genius. Not "Sneak Peak".

"Random chicken farmer" is sending me

My dream is to work for Rich and he buys me Burger King at the end of each shift.

“FOCUS” 🗣🖤

I might have to send u some gloves that metal bouta cut ur hands

Great job

You are repairing things I can’t so I’m going to say great job Rich

wikifeet lmao

Did you buy it from Samcrac? The chicken farmer with a white Focus RS rusting on the grass?

It's samcracs car I remember it

I love it bro good job

Damn. Considering you have zero experience that is a 10/10

This guy is pretty impressive, I would never try to do half the shit he does. I tip my hat to him.

Looks pretty good, I would have sanded and painted the E-coat on the new panels. It’s not designed to be a permanent finish on the panel. Otherwise looks great!
