Get the car inspected by AutoLign. I’ve done it with my car cost £300. Takes the marker off for the CAT S. Shows as Inspected. Can be a great video at the end. Plus it’s then deemed by the Insurance Industry as the same value if it’s involved in another accident in the future
Not strictly true. Only appears as condition inspected on HPI. On all other car checks still shows as Cat S or N as case may be. In my opinion it's not worth time or expense.
Great video, funny banter with your Dad! I noticed Dad using green snips to cut the wing thing, you may or may not know there are left and right snips, the red ones would be good for that cut as the upturned waste goes to the damaged wing. Piece of useful/useless knowledge learned from working with sheetmetal . Just subscribed, all the best from NZ
……another good video! Far more watchable than a Matt Armstrong build I guess the biggest problem is that once you’ve finished it you will struggle to get insured to drive it ! Well done on getting this far at such a young age
This is quality Ed your channel is just getting better and better, You’re so lucky being able to share this with your dad you make a great team enjoy it!
This channel is definitely going in the right direction please keep up with the normal ish cars 500s etc and be interesting to see a channel doing some 80s 90s 00s cars❤
Another awesome video guys. Loving the Maclaren ❤ Your channel should have more subscribers, and I'm sure you can get it to 100,000 soon. Can you please make your videos longer with a bit more detail. You and your Dad have a great relationship and banter, and it's excellent to watch. Have always loved your stuff, love the Fiat's and all you do, but this Maclaren has taken it to another level. Can't wait for the next episode.
Nice video and luckily we don t have a system that you are talking about in my Country The Netherlands, because this cars its frame is looking spec less and there is nothing wrong about it !!! So now this car will keep that S for the rest of is car life...... Respect for you Guys to work on a complicated car like this McLaren, and i must say it must be nice to working in a Shop that is so clean and with so much light ! My compliments !
Looking good. Awesome channel. Love your Dads comments... Ive forgetten more than you know... awesome. Being a similar age that comment is perfect. Also how lucky you all are having quality time with your Dad.
Love the dramatic music 🎵 great editing. Glad you took a risk on this one. Hopefully it will really pay off for you and your channel will continue to grow 👍
First time you video appeared on my feed. Nice job. So nice I did what I was told and I've subscribed. I'm looking forward to seeing the progress on the car.
What a fascinating and enjoyable channel you have there, the blond boy is so confident and a great guy, and dad is a good sport, nice job guys 10/10 best of luck with the McLaren, and Wots both of your names guys.👍
What a great buy , your gamble paid off , think you need to refer this as being the Beast as that’s exactly what it is. You might struggle getting insurance for this one 😂 your dad will just have to drive you around 😂 I’m guessing you will sell it on to develop the channel , your dad is a real card few years younger than me , you make a good team the new workshop is looking real nice now , keep up the good work can’t wait to see this one getting built back up again , hope you have deep pockets as parts are going to be expensive for the Beast , all the best 👍🏻
I love it! Very inspiring too. I want to do something like this. I already have a handful of cars. I suppose I will start with what I have. The 64 Tbird being the most interesting one I think. A baddie like this is definitely dowm the pipeline. I am subbed. I want to watch this one for sure! Thanks guys
So many posts spouting misinformation regarding Autolign checks. Just to clarify, successful Autolign inspection ONLY changes HPI register to condition inspected. All other car checks still show as Cat S or N as case may be. So there is NO way of completely erasing damage history. Hope that clears confusion 👍
Lovely car that Mclaren and damage doesn't look too bad. You and your dad will soon sort it out. To be honest a lot of those brackets could be straighten out.
Really been enjoying your channel. Since the fiats and other small cars. I'm delighted for you moving on. Please don't go swanning off with matt or chris on wanky road trips, do your own thing 🙏
Cat S isn’t always due to chassis damage, if the cost of repair is certain percentage than the value of the vehicle then they will class it as cat S. also there is an inspection centre which can remove the cat marker from any car as long as it has been repaired professionally 😉
Can you not get this re inspected after repair? If it passes it will change the cat s marker to “condition inspected” I’m sure another great salvage rebuild channel done this. Ps loving your channel and the content! Followed from the early days and watched it grow from strength to strength. Keep up the great work and great content 👍🏻
This was detailed in the previous video: the owner contacted Russell to see if he wanted to buy it as the insurance didn’t pay out due to a bald tyre. Watch the previous video!
The thing is it's nit just the repair cost the got to account for the cost of parts and labour, tine it takes for parts to come from back order if there is any and then the courtesy car cost like for like. Not as cheap fix as you think it is😂
what i do not understand is why if the insurance did not pay out on the claim the car has a category marker at all as the insurance declined to buy the damaged car from the owner after the accident so why apply the category marker to a car they did not own?
M8 in your last video u said the owner didn't get paid out because of the Fd tyres! Insurance would never categorise a car if they don't pay out, so I'm speculating they paid the council because the car damaged the bollards etc
The insurance company done you a favour though!.. if it was catogory N you wouldn't have got for that price.. So basically you got a Cat N at a Cat S price 🤔
Did you buy the car from the owner or copart or similar i have never known an insurance company to not pay out because a tyre is bald you could argue it happened in the crash skidding, also how can a insurance company categorise a car they haven't paid out on it makes no sense,,secondly if you bought off the owner are you sure he wasn't paid out and he bought it back off the insurance company then re sold it to you.

In many countries , it's forbidden to sell or give such a damaged car ( Severely Damaged Vehicle) to an individual .( even after repair) without an expert certificate of conformity, this would be too dangerous ! Isn' it the same in your country ? Before any intervention, the expert examines the dismantled vehicle; During repairs, the expert must check the modifications made, before they can be masked by paint or an anti-corrosion product, etc. ; Once the repairs are completed, the expert ensures that the vehicle is properly repaired and that everything is in order. This includes a technical inspection, a braking reading, as well as a reading of the integral geometry of the running gear. Please note that the insurance company's auto expert is the only one authorized to certify the correct repair of a vehicle under the "Severely Damaged Vehicle procedure". When the vehicle is then fit to be driven again, the expert then establishes a certificate of conformity.
I have seen lots of cat S that had minor damage and lots of cat N that have had some structural damage, what's worse is when you put a car on a Facebook group and all the nob heads post don't buy that, it's not safe it's a write off
Great working together on the intro 🤝
Thank you so much!!! Looks brilliant

I'm sure I've seen a few of them at newbury or sandy auction yards
Lovely car that Mclaren and damage doesn't look too bad. You and your dad will soon sort it out. To be honest a lot of those brackets could be straighten out.
Hi great video, omg how are you going to put it back together, good luck with it, from marty in Belfast northern Ireland God bless
Been subbed a while. Don't usually comment, but you got a nice bit of kit there. Cheers.
Much appreciated!
The crash bar isn’t part of the frame! It’s a sacrificial element.
Love these vids

Wanky road trips 😭 what does that even mean?
What’s he going to use it for then? Trips to the local shops?

i thought this was a joke it was matt Armstrongs car but its real its yours we need some prices ,very clean workshop,
I hope that you and your Dad get a massive pay-day out of the Maclaren
he who dares rodney 🤑
You two make me laugh 😂😂 shame it was categorised cat S but a great project for you both 😀
Thank you!!!
Bloody hell that tyres like the back of dad's head😂😂😂
it great seeing you do a different car thats not a bloody corsa lol
GREAT WORK GUYS
Thank you!
Just subscibed brilliant channel
Could the car be re-assessed, couldn't you request for someone to re-evaluate the category the insurance has assigned?
nope
Smashing it mate! I buy and sell a few CAT cars myself, hopefully one day I get something like this 🤣🤣
Only a matter of time before this channel goes to alpha centuri
Lovely old job
which auction did you get the car from?
This was detailed in the previous video: the owner contacted Russell to see if he wanted to buy it as the insurance didn’t pay out due to a bald tyre. Watch the previous video!
ed, can't you get an assessor in to show him it's mis-categorised, and get them to re-categorize it?
Were going to try that!
@@fixingsalvage awesome ed! keep up the great work bud, your doing awesome!
I suppose that's a one sided benefit. I doubt the insurance company will want to do that.
Matt Armstrong may have Parts for this
The thing is it's nit just the repair cost the got to account for the cost of parts and labour, tine it takes for parts to come from back order if there is any and then the courtesy car cost like for like. Not as cheap fix as you think it is😂
Hi well done you and the team for buying a fabulous car Ali Walsall west midlands england junction 10 m6 Walsall churckery up the walsall

Not always. I've know cars get category and later refused to pay out
@@craigelmer8566 I'm sure it can be taken of the hpi register, there's a process I seen on RUclips some time ago
The insurance company done you a favour though!.. if it was catogory N you wouldn't have got for that price.. So basically you got a Cat N at a Cat S price 🤔
Lol you have just spoken utter gibberish there
@altec2126 how do you work that out.. maybe you just lack the intelligence to understand. If it was Cat N it would have been more expensive..
@@Swifty800 You must be blown, there isn't much difference in terms of pricing on both categories
@@ianrogers2461 Lol yeah, even this RUclipsr is a big waffler 😂
Should be 100k sub channel minimum

Totally agree 👍

It's ai that categorises a lot now clearly they aren't very good 😂
Hi well done father and son team Ali Walsall west midlands england junction 10 m6 Walsall churckery up the walsall
Jammy git 😂
Get the car autolign after repair to have the cat removed
Just get it inspected to take the cat off
Can't understand why they cat them when they don't pay out.......but why buy a car like that and neglect the tyres some people baffle me 😂
I have seen lots of cat S that had minor damage and lots of cat N that have had some structural damage, what's worse is when you put a car on a Facebook group and all the nob heads post don't buy that, it's not safe it's a write off
That's the only downside to salvage. I quite enjoy the repairing but selling is often a pain in the backside 😆
You need to bribe Subscribers. Do a give away when you hit 50k subs then at 75k then at 100k
Do sum sort of a collaboration with Matt Armstrong that will boost ur subscribers
The assessor is AI, All the human do is to feed it with pictures and AI desides what category to put it in 🤐
Subscribe !!! So bloody rude to watch content and not to do so ….!
