I bought my girlfriend this wrecked Audi RS5 B8 4.2 V8 from auction with intentions to fix it. Normally when buying a car from the salvage auction they tend to be delivered in alot worse condition than the photos make out, but this Audi RS5 didnt seem to be too bad. We received 2 cars and full service history & the damage seem to be minor for a category S car. But today i begin the full repairs in hope to get it back on the road.

    Great video as always! The work your doing is bang on, not many people can argue as I couldn't imagine them doing it their self. I live 2 seconds from mfn so I've been going since I was a child about 18 years ago. It's always been a brilliant place to go on a Sunday night and used to alws take my cars there. Unfortunately they have always sent it down the straight which it is a bit of fun. But standard of driving has dropped over the last few years and unfortunately this isn't the first accident that's happened along that strip from folk showing off. Hopefully it doesn't put you off going to the place and get to see you there sometime. Keep up the good work. 👌

    Looking at the wing rail damage the lower section could have been straightened out after the top section was removed. As I've welded Audi ali bodyshells, trying to plug weld ali is a real challenge, knowing the correct filler wire is also an issue, joints can look welded, but will crack if not done correctly.. Good content though Mat, I like your give it a go attitude.👍👍
