The woman who sued you about the mustang got sued by Shelby. About the car being a character. She lost.
Nice
Yes, unfortunately it doesn't effect Chris' case. He has recently said a few things that indicate that he may start another project like that one.
So, the $24 question, are you going to go after them to get your car/money back?
Yes! Please sue her for your car back! Build it into a movie quality Elanor just to rub it in her face!
@@UpperDarbyDetailing they already did,right? The mustang SEMA build
I've had a salt flooded vehicle from the auction once, and never wanted another one again. Luckily it wasn't a high end sports car but nevertheless I had to swap all the wiring, computers, sensors in the engine bay, on the engine, etc, because every wire connection was corroded. I really hope Chris fixes this car because it would really be a heart break if it can't be saved. GL
Looks worse than if it had spent a century in Michigan
The only other bidder on this heap woulda been Tavarsh. He ought to part it out, seats and body panels etc to get his money back then play with what's left. Idk what he thinks that engine will swap into but hey, it's fun content and I'm gonna watch it either way
If you think a normal car that has been flooded is a pain in the gut to fix, the Bentley is a cyanide pill. Even just with normal use, the electronics are horrendous to fix when (not if) they fail. Part it out, and get some money back.
If nothing else, I hope he can use the engine for another build. Would be insane swap.
This car can't be saved
That was a bold move to throw power to the car after a saltwater flood. Generally the only way you can save the electronics and modules on such a car is to pull them, dry them out, and clean them with alcohol or electronics cleaner. Saltwater causes corrosion and shorts that start some real problems when power goes through them again.
Exactly what I was thinking especially in the rain
He destroyed it more than it was
Yeah I was thinking that too. Not smart, but more than likely the previous owner, tow company , Copart yard or auction did that already. But yeah no Bueno
Hell yeah, was cringing when watching him cut the car open and throw power straight on it. Just shows their real technical know how. You can't weld the electrics 🤣🤣
Yeah pretty much the worst thing you can do with a flooded car is just put power to it. Complete amateur move!
Thank you for the episode Chris, my dog just died today and im having the worst day of my life, and your videos always makes me forget bad things
Sorry for your loss.
I lost my oldest two in the last 8 weeks. It's very tough
Sorry for your loss
Sitting here watching this video, after getting back from putting down my dog of 12 years. Distractions sure help.
On a deep saltwater flood your best bet would have been
1. Drain the motor/trans/differentials and flush oil/trans fluid/diesel through everything you can through the plugs, flood it from the oil cap add some heet to get rid of residual water.
2.Remove all major electronics and ultrasonic clean in isopropyl alcohol re apply thermal grease and clean all connection on wiring. DO Not attempt to power it on you can short things that might not have been shorted.
3. Since you likely disassembled the whole car to get to the electronics and wiring you might as well clean and de salt(vinegar is your friend here) everything you can.
Step 1 is super important if you intend to save the power train.
@@firefly2472 you don't just scrap a $100k vehicle. You salvage what you can (motor trans seats brakes, removable body panels, lights, airbags) and then scrap the rest. It's about saving as much value as you can
You know u could just send the computers to Rossman. He's a pro at 'liquid damage" lol
I'd say Step 1 for a saltwater flood car is to walk away and not bid.
@@Showing_the_car_ and you are entitled to your opinion. The rest of will say we can make enough in parts to pay for the car 3 times over if we put in just a bit of work
No, that's not what you need to do first. You need to remove any engine control modules open them and rinse them and their connectors with alcohol or fresh water, then leave them to dry in the sun or under a heat lamp. Applying electricity to wet electronics is a prescription for disaster.
At least someone topped off the blinker fluid in the headlights haha!
Making Chris proud!
Have you guys heard of a thing called a dehumidifier? Since you don't need to get it working right away, the best thing to do would be to put that car in a temperature controlled storage unit and put a dehumidifier in the car and maybe one in the trunk. At least that would reduce the risk of shorts when applying power. You could leave it in storage and check it every so often to see if any progress is made.
"You get a flood car! you get a flood car! Everyone gets a flood car!" For real between Freddy wanting the infamous P1, your Bentley and Rich's Audi e Tron, the flood car content is strong this last week
Yup. Next month they'll all have a "bought a MYSTERY car FROZEN under 6 feet ice in a BLIZZARD". And they'll do a coop with HeavyD to dig it out.
Step 1: Find empty swimming pool
Step 2: Buy all the rice from every Walmart in Oregon
Step 3: Submerge car
13:30 No worries, that's just one of the fancy electric car heaters, from icy temps to a scorching hot breeze in seconds. Plus it works as an eco-friendly mode, the car can't pollute the air if there is no one left to drive it!
If I recall, turning the key LEFT will use the aux battery for starting in the event the main is dead. I've seen that on a few other bentley videos on YT.. Good luck!
I thought the days of saving bentleys are over especially with the saltwater flooded car. Oh man this is going to be a ride
Filming in the rain for a car that has been flooded is just too much chaos for me to watch
Agree, it is like to watch surgery on open heart in a jungle on the ground.
shouldnt the correct process be scrap everything clean and dry all connectors and computers before adding power?
electronic can get wet, its when power runs through wet electronics is where the problem arises. but entertaining nonetheless
If you want to save a car from flood there is only one thing you can do and the process is exactly the same for every car. You have to strip the interior completely, wash whole interior outside the car otherwise there will be mold. Second thing is you have to remove every electronic module from car and wash it, preferably in ultrasonic cleaner and clean literally every connector in the car with connector cleaning spray. Then you have to remove engine, do the same thing with engine, check all the seals on the whole drivetrain, flush all fluids few times to make sure there no water. It would be also good to replace wheel bearing and every other bearing on the suspension. And then you should wash the whole body of the car. Even insides of closed profiles along with every part from the car. And then you can drive it and it should break all the time. If you don't do this like that, car like Bentley will be gone in a year. In the best case scenario you will have problems with electronics and mold. In worst case scenario whole drive train will be wrecked, all the bearings in the suspension like wheel bearings won't exist at this point and this car will be sold for parts
If you want to get power, you need to change the module under the driver foot that's responsable for the key/keyless system. Also the dash and ecu i think
And evry thind els that might resemble electric conector
watching from Great Britain, I remember seeing footage of a car on a sea slipway that got caught by the tide, engulfed totally, next day on low tide owner started it and drove off, just a roll of the dice.
An attempt to turn a negative into a positive situation will always earn my respect, even if you are slightly mad
Before even starting the video, I'm assuming this is a lost cause due to insanely expensive and/or endless electrical issues. That's how all Bentley builds go, especially flood ones. Part out what you can.
I agree. Time to part it out.
I like the Irony of starting the flooded car in the pouring rain and mud. This is the best car rebuild channel on youtube
Greatings from Iceland. Hope you enjoyed the best that the country has to offer
Cutting a hole in the trunk was a real amateur move. the first thing would have been to get the car in the shop and dry it out, charge the batteries to get enough power to at least give it a chance to work, then check out the manual to find the power feed to the trunk release. A new trunk lid will cost you as much as you paid for the car.
They have like 20 cars. Time is money.
100% spare parts …… its a Bentley……those little knobs and buttons and other plastic stuff is your value….nothing else. 😊Good luck with that one.
All in all, you now have a Bentley Continental GT. I'd make the best of it and turn it into a resto-mod. Drop in an old school big bock that literally needs three wires to run, run new wiring for lights, etc. and sell that still good Bentley motor to cover your costs. That will make one helluva ride.
Inb4 "were LS swapping a Bentley" lol
A BisforBuild video is what I needed to put some warm clothes on and go do something productive outside
I would rather see something like 1.9TDI out of some VW Golf and racing LeMons
We need a roll rehearsal where he gets a corvette that originally had a LS and he swaps a V10/W12 or whatever exotic engine he wants into it.
@j Walster that may be what's in store, or something similar as he was saying he wanted to swap the drivetrain into something, that would be neat
@@patrikpolda I wonder how hard a TDI would have to work to move that #6k bentley lol
@@dc2acuracy I mean when you gut the interior, throw out the original electronics and convert it to RWD, since it would probably be easier than getting the AWD system to somehow work, than it would be a lot lighter. Also the engine alone is lighter
I used to work in marine repair and had to deal with salt-water damage a lot. If you havn't already- look into a product called Salt-Away. You can use that to clean connectors etc. If it we're me I would be trying to find every connector in the wiring harnesses, de-salt-ing them and then spraying with WD40 or some di-electric grease or something similar. This will at least eliminate voltage bleed and stray signals and should greatly help with diagnosis.
Absolute nightmare to work on them Continental GT’s if tavarish’s experience was anything to go by
Man, I love what you do but I gotta say something………. Iceland & Antarctica are in opposite hemispheres & Iceland is actually very green with volcano’s. This has been your geography lesson for the day. Nice grab on the Bentley, always a nice ride
Good thing you have tons of old diesel, perfect for flushing flooded engines! Then you can strain it and put it in jet heaters.
your biggest mistake, never buy a flooded vehicle rule no.1!!!
Wrong. Never buy a flooded vehicle if you don't know what you are doing. Flooded vehicle is a great challenge and a lot of fun. It is a real test of your knowledge of the vehicle. Do you know how to change oil, brakes, tires, even engine or you know how modern vehicle works?
Hey... are you going to get Eleanor back now that the lawsuits are being settled? Are you getting in on the action?
I imagine it was crushed or stripped for parts a long time ago. I doubt the IP troll keeps the cars she managed to convince the government to confiscate for her.
Not trying to be the pessimist I love your channel and watch almost every episode that comes out. But I wish you luck with a saltwater flood because the problem isn't corroded connectors it goes deeper to inside the wiring. When submerged water seeps into the casing on the wires but the problem isn't the water it is the salt that comes with it. The salt leftover after it dries causes further corrosion and shorts. Now with that said I have worked on the insurance industry for 12 years. Insurance companies will total cars because they were in the vicinity of possible saltwater. I'd say 75/25 chance of brackish/salt water vs fresh water.
Nice! This car is definitely outside your normal builds so it'll be fun to watch.
Fun for us frustrating for him😆😂
If the battery was still connected when it went under don't even bother with the old wiring, replace the lot. A fresh water flood might be ok if the battery is disconnected within 24 hrs, but with salt corrosion (electrolysis) takes a few hours max.
I kinda expected it to burst into flames once power was added. I'm dreading seeing how much corrosion is behind all the plastic.
Is the keyless start button on the top of the shift knob? Keep your foot off the brake and press that to access accessories. All assuming other electricals are all working which they probably aren't.
Good luck on this one. Getting the electronics to work won't be easy. You can ask John Ross for some advice... 😂
Out of all the things on a 'Bentley' (VW) that I would like to work on least, it has to be the electrics... Between the poor quality wiring and all the ruined modules, a total swap is the only way forward, but tracking down all the bad connections after the swap will be a nightmare.
I cannot wait to see Eleanor make her reappearance to the B is for Build HQ to see the finalisation of her come together since we never got to see your spin on your Eleanor project
With no communication with the key fob, it looks like the anti-theft module is corroded and would need to be replaced along with the primary fuse boxes and wires
it must smell real nice in there, removing the mold will be a nightmare
I don't know Chris, I can imagine some very severe flood damage
Oscar is just a very clever guy. It’s no wonder Chris rates him so highly. Live long and prosper boys…🙏
First thing I did after the storm passed was wash off all the salt with city water. Though it's kinda dope that car went across the entire country not running/driving.
These cars are electrical nightmares already when they're new 😂. Fixing this is going to be interesting 🤔
I think you mean the other i word….impossible
If you have access to a skid steer, you could flood the car again with a water hose to get a lot of impossible to reach salt out of the body, just bury the car with tarps and pack the back of the tarps with dirt, then run a water hose at the top or in strategic areas to dilute the salt
"B is for Build; if the trunk lid doesn't open, just cut it off!"
Sooo... B is for Butcher
The way they did it was quite smart. I thought they use a crow bar or something. Weld in that flat panel is done no time.
@@JohnDoe-zr6bk Did you forget the half cut they already made before they decided to cut the little latch? That trunk is F-ed :P
Man, a salt water flooded car is a whole different thing from a fresh water flooded car.
Trying to fix the electrics of a flooded car under the rain 👌🏻😂
For lemons, a 4 cyl diesel from an Audi A4 might work in the Bentley shell and be reasonably simple to fit in. Could even do full 4wd drivetrain to handle the diesel torques!
Hey Chris,
I'm not super familiar with swapping powertrains into vehicles where they don't belong, but I am curious about the wiring. Why wouldn't you just go standalone ECU if you weren't using any of the body functions of the car and you are just stealing the power train? Is it the transmission control that would be a difficulty? Thanks for the awesome content!
I had a similar trunk access issue with my BMW… Remove the paneling from the center council arm rest in the back seat. Drill a large enough hole to slide a broomstick into the trunk and pull the emergency latch…assuming it has an emergency lever.
With Shelby's court win over Eleanor, does this mean you'll get your car back?
You mean Shelby?
He's stated that he will not get the car back. Not sure if it was destroyed but after the court win - he did address this question
@@travis4619 where did he state that?
been crushed im sure
@@pjludda4323 nope not even. They remade another mustang just like it after wards....... the Eleanor build was confiscated and is just plain gone so it has nothing to do with the single seater. Its a pure new concept and is based off using an existing c5 vette front subframe/steering and mid engine transaxle converted LS
Piece of advice, those motors for all doors, windows, seats, vents etc. they are all mostly repairable. And they are most likely Bosch made. So you don't have to buy them crazy expensive from dealer or hunting for them on eBay (it is Bentley). Out of all my flooded vehicles I could not repair only one motor on Yukon. I fixed every single motor myself, saved a lot of time and money. It is basically cleaning job. Taking apart, cleaning put back together. !!!!!!! DO NOT CUT THEM!!!!!!. But most likely we will never hear from you about Bentley again.
I sincerely hope you guys get the mustang back and I personally cant wait to see you make it everything you wanted
He's already said that's never going to happen and is literally impossible. Its been crushed. However. There MIGHT be another build like it *eventually*
@mightywatcher wouldn't serve a purpose at this point
You are in WAY over your head. I laughed when you said you were thinking of buying another wrecked Bentley to help you fix this one. Good luck
Looking forward to it! I was really hoping you would do a full tear down and B is for Build it back to stock. I'm guessing you have doa modules and corroded fuses. That looks like a first gen, I think they share some parts with the Audi A8 and S8 btw.
I have a 2005 S Type Jaguar .One day i had a flat battery which is in the trunk, and to cut a long story short there is a hidden keyhole in the edge of the trunk lid, use you Ignition key to open
This is never going to start, do the seats fit into the Burntacon?
FYI, I met someone that owns a couple of used car dealers and he told me that these flood cars are NOT something to get involved with. He knows another dealer that tried to sell a flood car and didn't tell the customer that it was, and he got caught and has to serve prison time for that HUGE mistake.
I would think even parting one of these things out you'd have to also mention it was a flood car part.
Word to the wise, don't buy flood cars, that moniker will stay with it. Now, if you're just playing around with it and you have no intention of selling it or any parts from it without full disclosure, then maybe that's fine, but I would touch these things.
That Bently is pretty cool looking. But a w-12 power train swap could be really cool too.
A little more slowly on the boat? I did not think it was possible to go slower. LOL! Love the channel.
That’s a beautiful car
Unless you are ready to install all new electrical everything you purchased a parts car in my opinion, that interior will smell so bad once it starts getting warmer.
Oh dear. Chris has finished some things that I didn't think were possible before, but this one is on a whole level of it's own.
It is cold in Astoria, I was there for 15 days and 15 days of rain wind and no sun. i am glad I am back in the south East , I did go visit B is for boat ….
Thanks for the great content! Now that the law suit is done, will you try and get your Mustang back?
Your positivity is refreshing!! Stay with it brother! Love this channel!
😂😂 come on dude what do you expect a flooded Bentley to be like if not worst than you'd think
Man I fully expect a non flooded Bentley to be worse than I think. A flooded Bentley is an entire different bag of shit that I would never want a part in. I'll just buy a passat for 1/8th the price for the same car. And not have to deal with the weird british grimlins.
@@Tagiau 😂 neither do I that's a nightmare that never ends
@@Tagiau your Passat doesnt have a 6.0L twin turbo w12 making 620hp and AWD or Carbon brakes nor is it anywhere near as nice. Its also somehow even shittier lol
@@Shadow0fd3ath24 It's also going to not break down every other week, and need a new wiring harness every time you let it sit for 48 hours. Let's not even talk about the 20k brakes. If I can buy a car for the price of one part, I'll hard pass.
@@VvvDoubleDvvV agreed, he knows the engine wouldnt turn over. It shoulda been a vid about replacing relays and cleaning contacts. Or straight into tear down to sell off parts because we all know its not worth fixing.
Hey, looking for an update on an order placed beginning of December. Hope all is well, thanks.
Got it yesterday. Thanks
Hope to see you get back the Eleanor back from the lying witch.
Easiest way to evacuate an engine of water from my experience has been popping the spark plugs and turning the engine over with a breaker bar, then you suck the rest out if you still see some down in the cylinder.
Have a word with JR go ( on RUclips) he has just had a Bentley with starting issues .he could give you a way to go .
You might be able to Get the Original Mustang back and get the videos back on your channel, I think that it would be amazing to see the Original Mustang build complete and see your final vision on it !!!
Dang man, I know how that goes with PowerJDM... Lots of upfront promise, but no delivery
@ᴛᴇxᴛ ᴍᴇ ᴏɴ ᴛᴇʟᴇɢʀᴀᴍ @ʙ_ɪs_ғᴏʀʙᴜɪʟᴅ NOOOOOO not the spam bots here too!!
I wonder if, for a flood car, especially salt, you could dunk it in a tank of distilled/pure water and soak the salt water out of it, dry it out, and potentially at least clean some shorts out. Either that or an alcohol bath.
Would likely need to be done right away before corrosion set in, but something that might work?
This is why salt water flood vehicles usually have a Parts Title - everything is corroded and they are near impossible to resurrect as a working vehicle again. Best idea to get your money back is to part it out.
great video, i think it's time for you to upgrade your camera because the video quality is not terrible, it's almost the same quality as 360p lol
One thing our British cars can’t deal with is any level of water which is frustrating they are from a country known for being very wet
B is for Back in time camera quality. Feels like I'm watching videos from 2010. Enjoy the content, just so hard to watch coming from crisp 4k videos to this.
I love these flood car videos!
You said you're slowing down on the boat build? Really? I didn't think you could get much slower. lol. good luck
Chris!!! Go get ur Eleanor dream car back! If it wasnt crushed yet. Good on Shelby winning their case against a bogus copyright infringement.
Now that the lawsuit has been finalized, you can actually build your Eleanor without fear of being sued.
You gotta drain and dry all that salt water or at least wash it out. Salt water is somewhat conductive like battery electrolyte. It's probably shorting out thru the salt water
🙂 The car has a push button start as well as the key.... the car is also faster than you Lambo.... and your going to have plenty fun trying to use engine/trans in something else..... very.. very... complex car ..... love your work..... keep going..... looking forward to seeing the boat
Good luck, watched the guy save the boat/engine from the bottom of Lake Mead after 30 years under water, I think you guys will get it going. Would not want it for my daily driver thou. BTW. Are the Mustang Tee shirts sold out? I got the R69 one, but not the Stang shirt. One comment on the Mustang. When you were driving it, the rear looked like it was sagging. Could just be seeing it on TV. Maybe raise the rear a tiny bit.
Thank god - old B is for build. I miss these type of episodes
Ok your first mistake is buying a flooded car second one is putting power to a flooded car 😆
That piece of white whatever on the back hurt/confused my brain for a minute cause the shadowing made the rear end look like a 911 but the front was a Bently 🤣🤣🤣
20 min video to open a trunk, 20 min video to pump some diesel, lots of talk - not much to see here.
I saw that a McLaren P1 went into auction from the Florida floods.... Can't wait to see it on the channel! xD
Tavarish is buying that one 🤣
@@patrikpolda LOL Tavarish is busy fixing his money pit of a new house.
LS swapping a P1
If you leave the hood open the rain will ruing the engine, close it! Lol. All jokes aside shout out to people like you making content like this. Good luck!
working on a flooded car outside in winter, under the rain, waiting for the night to come, with a cutoff wheel for only tool... sounds like a plan.
I moved to FL Tampa and man I do not miss the WA and OR rain at all 😂😂😂😂
Love that. Right before you cut it open I was like there's no way he's just gonna cut into it right? Wrong
Hey I helped u get the quarter panels for your gtr. I also have a bentley so if u need info..
I need update
What happened to you? No videos, no posts, nothing. PLEASE DON'T TELL ME YOU'RE DEAD!!! 😥
Did you check that the impact with the water didn't set off the pyro fuse?
Should have cleaned all connections and modules first before adding power.
