Maybe it's just me, but, I think this is a much more interesting project than another body swap.

This is supercar/luxury content I can get behind. So much better than just buying all the parts. Saving what you can and still doing things the B.I.F.B way is appreciated.

I know. You talk about the guy who has a lambo with broken roof?

You should 3D scan the driver side quarter and flip it and 3D print a mold then make it out of carbon, it would probably be a lot cheaper to do it that way rather then to buy them new, same with the front fender.

If I remember correctly, you can replace those throttle bodies with ones from a Volvo V70. Mat Armstrong also used Volvo throttle bodies with his Murcielago.

As a tesla owner, I agree!!!

If the F1 pump/SMG pump is bad look into the manual conversion parts kit 😊

I bet that square steel chassis is just remnants of Murcielagos family connection to father Diablo and grandpa Countach. After Murcielago Audi ditched the olden ways and square steel.

I just spent 6 hrs troubleshooting my motorcycle. It was torn to pieces 25 years ago and covered in rat feces but I finally diagnosed the charging system and ignition. I know this is nothing close to you guys but I love watching the builds because it gives me courage for mine! Keep posting!!!

If you want new throttle bodies they are actually the same as a Volvo on the pre LP640 Lamborghini Murcielago. Volvo V70 MK2 2.4 Petrol cars use the same throttle bodies but you need to rewire the plugs I believe are different.

I was dreading an EV build and can't express how stoked I am for this build now. Also 3d printed engine mounts and steel frame chassis is perfect. Love the extra length in this video. I'm just insanely happy rn.

We’re happy to see this murci coming back to the roads 🎉

So happy you decided to fix this masterpiece of a car… in a few years you will congratulate yourself you did it. These are pieces of art so connected to their era.

Let me start by saying I wish you well on this project...you all are fun to watch when confronting new 'issues'. I might suggest that before you get too giddy about this car 'telling' you what it needs, go back and watch Tavarish's videos on the Fast and Furious Murcielago restoration...the electronic rat's nest behind the seats was frightening to me. Also, since Lambo fuel pump have been seemingly involved in a lot of fires, be cautious about transferring the pumps from the old fuel tank to a new one. I think there was a design issue with some OEM pumps...I'm not a total fan-boy of Tavarish but he dealt with this on his fire damaged Gallardo.

The Murci is my dream car. Watching Matt Anderson you can get a lot of parts through parts numbers that are on other cars so you don’t need to pay the Lamborghini tax. I think the most $$$ is going to come from the carbon fiber panels. I sure hope you guys look into a manual gated swap. Good luck guys!

3D print the body panels ,Bumpers then 3D scan the good side and mirror the parts, at least 4 perimeters ,4 top and bottom layers +100% infill on the TPU for the engine mounts

U need to convert it to manual ! I think the only difference in transmission is electornics and of course 3rd pedal

A custom Murcielago, could be very cool, with modded suspension, crazy body-kit, nice wheels and custom interior. I've seen some real nice renders and some amazing looking wide body-kits.

Loved this episode! This reminded me of the old BIFB way, when you had 20K subscribers! Freestyling every build and figuring it out. Man, I love it

Fantastic video guys! I enjoy watching videos where work is taking place and not just updates to work that was done and so much work was packed into this one!

Also man check every part number on these i believe you can get the bosch TBs off a late model volvo. They can also be somewhat rebuilt. Check for audi PNs and VW PNs i know the lambo tax is steep so it pays to shop around and test parts on a bench before replacing. GL

Matt Armstrong went through this with his Lambo... re. Volvo Throttle bodies.

Stoked to watch a BiFB project again. Last few haven't been for me so I skipped em but I'm hella interested in seeing this brought back to life.

18:19 I know some people throw away the manual you get with a car, but problems like that are always why you RTFM, cause if you did then you'd actually know what the lights on the dash mean. and surely theres an FSM somewhere that has all of the OBD codes

Just make it a stick shift Murcey would be a fun project with the classic b is for build style Chris you guys rock

Really like the old school bisforbiuld feel of these episodes !

Kudos to Ed for the brake pedal issue, common on many audi/vw cars too. As well as the clutch switch same PN

the fact you're just rebuilding it instead of swapping the body or powertrain makes me so happy it's my childhood dream car

I love that when you say "See where we stand" I instantly thought "You're standing right there silly" and then the joke came right after and it made it that much funnier 😂

Do a manual conversion! It will be so cool!

I'm so stoked you are bringing this back to life and doing it you're own way Chris. I have watched Freddie and mats restorations and loved them. They are different to yours and for that reason yours will be just as cool. Your saving a v12 Lambo the b is for build way and everyone who supports you will love that

That's why I love this channel, you listen to your audience.... rescue that dream car from our childhood !!!

I already love this build. Rebuilding it the right way, maybe retro modding some stuff is the way to go

Amazing troubleshooting on this lambo. Keep it coming! 😊

I'm really enjoying the Lamborghini episodes. I'm looking forward to seeing the next chapter, greetings from Spain

Yes, yes and yes! Love it and am stoked to see this build reach the finish line!!

I love that you are rebuilding it!!!

Resorting a murci the BIFB way (like 3d printing those engine mounts, hella cool) is what I wanted to see. Opportunity here for some cool body kits to still put a spin on it but ultimately keeping the murci as a murci and putting it back on road. Can’t wait to watch more of these!

I love this build! This is the stuff that got me watching KZread!

So glad u are going to rebuild it can’t wait for this build series 🎉🎉🙏🏻😁😁

You guys need to put this on a frame table and straighten the whole thing out.

You can use hockey pucks for bumper spacers don't forget that that actually works really good

Thank you for not body swapping! ❤ Now you have me 100% hooked for this build! 😊

That was a ride! Thanks for bringing us along.

I'm pleased you're doing a restoration on this. It will be great when it's done.

Reverse button is placed over there because you'll need to open the door to see where you're going in reverse. Might as well place it near the door handle.

Love the detail on the fix!

Awesome video, looking forward to this legendary car being restored

Great job as always guys! I just commented on Matt’s Off-road Recovery’s channel. They are looking for non “off road” KZreadrs to go to their Offroad Games next year. I think you all would be great additions. Maybe you can tow out the Jumpicane with the overland rig! I’d love to see that thing in the dunes!

So happy your getting it back on the road 👌🏻

loving the longer videos

Love the direction of the build. Prefer this over the body swap. It's classic BI4B.

Dude! You folks are amazing, spectacular, miracle workers! I have no doubt if It turns over you can make it do anything you wish it to. Never doubt your prowess! 😊 Good luck and may it be everything you wish it to be and more! Best of luck and may you have an excellent evening and rest of the weekend!😊

I saw a comment saying this in a previous video, but i think it would be pretty cool to body swap an old rolls royce or bentely or some sort of old luxury car onto the Model 3.

You should look at Matt Armstrong he just finished his lambo. He found replacement throttle body’s. He would be able to help with a lot of your issues

Glad your restoring it

Best vid on the channel in ages. I want more!

So happy this is the direction you're taking the build

Brilliant build .. it’s so good you guys are in house manufacturing parts instead of waiting months and spending thousands 👍👍 top work guys

So happy that u decided to save the Murci... but please can u manual swap it and show us the process...?

I’m really into this build now !

You guys are skilled enough to make your own body panels, custom wide body. You would save a fortune. Find lights off a mass produced car, ect. See how cheeply you can build it and still be a nice car.

Glad this is going well, thanks for your hard work

Very excited about this build. Nice work 3d printing and straightening out the power train. Cleaning the corroded throttle bodies, looking forward to the rest of the build and hope you guys dont run into anything major along the way.

Out of all Car KZreadrs you The Best, how you resolves issues and all your teammates just awesome man. Nice video. Good luck.

I'm really happy this turned into a restoration. This is so much better

Really interesting to see you trouble shoot such a complex, exotic car. Astonishing that Lamborghini used crude frame material. Very glad you are keeping the engine and running gear intact. Nice project.

I remember from your old BRZ the throttle got stuck wide open, and it was a piece of the airbox jammed in it 😊

Enjoying this build and the long video content

So glad your putting Lambo back together, Its such an iconic Car & you get the chance to bring it back to life & make it better than stock maybe..

i'm loving this build..

I believe Mat Armstrong said that the throttle body was a Volvo product. I think they were slightly different so he bought some used ones. Might talk to him or Tavarish as they both rebuilt a Murci.

Im so so glad you are saving it!! ❤❤

Love what you’re doing so far on the lambo. Great work and fun episode.

Gotta say this is the content I started watching BIFB. Body swaps are nice but this is the content I enjoyed.

Love the builds and great ye are putting it back the way it was. Big money now to buy. Love that colour also

Well done...you've made the right decision going v12. Now I'm excited 😁😁😁😁😁

I’m excited for this!

Love that you're restoring it.

Wow Super impressive to have the ability to see the rebuild potential. I thought my son and I had a big project with our 2012 Ferrari 458 Spider. Well big for us! Look forward to seeing your progress. My son wants our next project to be a Lamborghini.....we will see a little nervous doing one

I’m glade you decide to fix it

I hope we get to see some custom carbon fiber molds on this project; it was really cool seeing how you did the bumper on the Mustang.

This feels like some old school B is for Build content. Possibly in over their head and might not be able to afford the fix if it’s major. I love it. This is so relatable to all of us also just figuring things out by watching KZread videos haha

Cleaning the car will make us happier visually ❤

The idle is probably a vacuum leak. I had the same prob. and finally found a small crack in a hose. It fixed ALL of my ailments.

cool project like the Lotus build

Love 3D printing parts that are better than oem. Save money. Great to see this car coming back to life. Can’t wait to see what you do next with it.

I am beyond excited for this build. Chris and Oscar are the GOAT

So happy this prancing bull is getting restored, looking forward to more. Awesome video

Stoked!, much better to restore it. I would consider to manually convert it and look into a cool kind of body kit. There are some really nice ones available. Make it a little special. Like the build!!!

...Plus the colour is coooooooooool. I bet there wasn't that many with that colour.

So happy to see its not getting a swap or anything

Love this troubleshooting stuff, thank you sir!

I love this project. Cannot wait for next one. I just hope you keep it a true budget build original runner, like the ratarossa conv and even the green Marci Matt Armstrong brought on the gumball. (Until he wrecked it by repainting it and making it too nice)

Please keep the red color after the restoration! Red looks so good

27:26 That car sounds so epic ❤

Chris. That WAS a terrible weld 😂
