ATTEMPTING THE JOB BUGATTI TOLD ME WAS IMPOSSIBLE

Today we're about to attempt what

Bugatti think is impossible. You

>> can't do that in a garage. There's just

a few places in the world with the right

equipment and only a few people in the

world with the right training to be able

to do that. This is the $6 million

Bugatti Purport that was crashed by

Alex.

After he got paid out from insurance, he

bought the car back

>> and then called me to see if I could

repair it.

>> Start getting your flights, mate.

And last time I was here, I got all the

damaged body panels off the car, the

windscreen out, and all of the deployed

airbags. Everyone who's got an Audi A3,

you have a Bugatti knee airbag. On top

of that, I completely stripped the

interior out. But then I found more

damage.

Oh,

and this was bad. It looked like a huge

crack in the gearbox on both sides,

which completely threw a spanner in the

works. And that damage could decide

whether this car is repairable or not.

Now, one thing Bagatti didn't think we

were able to do is separate the front

end of the car from the rear. There's

only two places in the world that can do

it, and today we need to make sure

there's three. In order for us to

inspect this damage that's on the

gearbox and even see if it's repairable,

we've got to remove the engine. And to

do so on a Bugatti, it means we have to

separate the back end of the car from

the front. And after our previous video

went out, Matty Rimck, the CEO of

Bugatti, mentioned it wasn't possible to

do in a garage. In a Chiron, there's so

many electrical wires, uh, piping, uh,

oil piping, uh, water piping, fuel lines

that connect from the monco to the to

the rear section, and they have to split

the car in half. You can't do that in a

garage. There's just a few places in the

world with the right equipment and only

a few people in the world with the right

training to be able to do that. And as

we already know, Bugatti aren't going to

sell us parts to rebuild this car, and

they're not going to help us separate

the car in half for sure. So, I'm left

with no choice but to give this a go

myself. I don't have any special tools

or special training. So, if we manage to

pull this off, it for sure will be a

huge achievement.

>> Tony, do you think it's fixable?

>> Of course I do.

And we're going to do it now. We're

going to be the third

what is it? Manufacturer

to be able to take this car apart.

Whatever a man's took apart, another man

can take apart.

>> Yeah.

>> Here we go. We're in Black Horse

Performance, which we'll explain why

we're here later in the video cuz it

will all make sense. But for now, we got

to work out how we're going to separate

the car in half. Engine out the back,

tub out the front.

We're just going to have to attack it

and start undoing bolts. But I think the

first step is to get the side skirts

off. Side skirts off first. So, let's do

it. Okay, so our first step is to start

by removing the rear quarters, which are

hopefully covering over the bolts, which

separate the back end of the car from

the front. Originally, I thought the

side skirts were separate, but it turns

out they're all part of the rear

quarter.

>> Today, you've got a new apprentice that

isn't me.

>> I have.

>> It could arguably be better.

>> 100% better.

>> Will he be able to use a dugger?

>> Wait, what's a dog?

scary. Once I've undone the bolts on the

bottom of the side skirt, I started

unclipping this bit of trim, which

actually was clipped in the back and

then double-sided sticky tape to the

front. I then found out I didn't

actually need to remove it. All I needed

to do was take the door seal out and it

revealed more bolts that I needed to

take out. I undid two bolts holding the

carbon fiber piece in, but then it still

didn't want to come out. Is

>> that so you don't break it either? So, I

got Alex's cameraman to take a look at

it instead.

>> Get in there.

>> Good work.

>> And once he removed that, there was one

more bolt which holded that trim piece

in.

>> Yes.

>> Nice.

>> Nice work.

>> They do that in Bugatti every time they

get something off this car.

>> Sweet.

>> Tony, what do you think of the quality

of the carbon fiber?

>> Very good.

>> Does it look like any other car brand

that you've seen? No.

>> Really that good?

>> It's good.

>> I do think it is good. The idea is we

just taken bits off so we can get this

quarter panel off. If Alex had had gone

that fast, we wouldn't have to do this

bit really, would we?

>> I wasn't speeding at all. I wasn't going

fast at all.

>> We're not the police. You know,

>> Wow.

>> That was it. Oh yeah. Once we got that

panel off, we can start to see some of

the bolts which are holding the rear end

to the front, which is a good sign. But

there's still plenty more to undo. We're

flying. As we take off each panel, it

revealed more and more bolts holding

this rear quarter in. And unlike normal

cars where they're usually panel bonded

to the monok, this apillar and quarter

is literally just bolted. And if you go

on the inside of the car, you can access

all the bolts there. I did one side and

Alex is undoing the bolts on the other

side. It's actually a pretty clever

design and really in my head undoing and

taking apart stuff doesn't really take

too much skill which is why it's

worrying me that Matty Rimck has told us

that it takes specially trained

mechanics to get this car apart. I think

there's going to be more bolts in the

side. So, we got to take this engine

cover off. There isn't just like a hatch

like a regular car that you just pull a

cable and this lifts up. There's bolts

from underneath. I think from what I've

been looking at, there's four bolts

which hold in this grill in. And then

this grill will pop out. Then I can

access the bolts which hold the engine

cover in. So I'm going to take this off

first and then get them bolts out. That

will lift off. Unbolt them. Everything

will come apart. And we're doing the

impossible. I can see four bolts holding

this grill in. One on each corner. Then

I can lift it out. Ah, I didn't need to

loosen them all the way out. They're

meant to slide out. So then you can

access the bolts for that. With that

grill out, you can see one bolt here and

one bolt there and can get my

multi-pline tool on it and loosen both

of them out. And once I have got both of

them out, I think it should just lift

off.

Wow, two bolts. The rear cover was just

held in with two bolts. And look at

that. If you need to top your coolant

up, you have to remove the whole rear

hatch to do so. The goal was to get the

quarters off, but I am going to try and

get this wing off. So, it just gives us

a bit more leeway. And I think I can get

that off in this position. Now, it's not

too bad so far, but I think it's going

to get a lot worse

because if they said only two people can

do it in the world, it's definitely not

meant to be this easy. Again, the rear

wing was really similar to the engine

hatch. About four multi-line bolts

holding it in. And there's a couple of

T30s on the edge.

>> Yes.

>> And again, it just lifted out.

>> So far so good. Rear wing off. We're

still carrying on. We're trying to get

this quarter panel off. There's more

bolts we found, which are down here,

little T30s. And once we get that

quarter off, we'll be able to visually

see so much more and make a bit of a

game plan on how we're getting this

engine out. I think this car is put

together really well. If you do cause

any damage to your rear quarter, it

literally will just bolt off and you can

put a new one directly in place, but I

dread to think how much one of them

costs. Time to get it in the air.

The last few bolts for the rear quarter

I think are in the wheel arch. So I'm

removing the arch lining on the right

hand side and my dad is taking it out on

the left hand side. And then we can take

a look up inside this wheel arch to see

if we can see any more bolts holding the

quarter in. And there are the last

couple of bolts. One at the top behind

the light and one on the side. And a

final one which holds the quarter to the

diffuser. That

looks like might come off.

We send it down and we'll take our

Bugatti apart. I'm now going to pop the

wheels back on so we can send the car

down and push it forward off the two

post ramp which gives us way more room

to get this quarter off. And if this

comes off, it was easier than I first

thought.

>> Oh yeah. Make a good bed out of that

bed.

>> A bed.

And look at that. the whole side of a

Chiron completely off. It looks mental.

That does. That looks absolutely sick.

We're actually starting to see where the

tub separates. Look, we've got multihex

bolt there, one under here, just there.

And there's going to be a load more

underneath. We're slowly starting to see

it now. And on the left hand side of the

car, exactly the same. Me and my dad

lifted it off and we've got to put it

away in a safe place. And that is the

whole rear end of the car and the side

exposed.

This thing looks mental like that. Look

at that. All exposed.

Big W16500

horsepower hanging out the back like

that. That was cool. That was easier to

take off than the interior was to take

out. But we don't need to actually we

don't actually need to take the bumper

off at the minute. I don't think we do.

Whilst we're doing this in true Matt

Armstrong fashion, we might as well

upgrade stuff whilst we're there. So the

exhaust we're going to have we're going

to take out cuz we're going to do

something crazy with the exhaust. So I

think I want to get this off so we can

access the exhaust when we get it out.

I'm hoping this is going to be as easy

as the quarter coming off. Could be

harder. Let's see. Let's start getting

this rear bumper off. And then we're

really going to have to start look at

separating the car, which is going to be

a bit crazy. Here we go. Again, with the

bumper, everything just seems to make

sense. Rather than undoing loads of

bolts and taking parts off bit by bit.

We're getting closer. It seems like the

whole bumper with the rear lights and

the rear diffuser all come off as one

entire piece.

And it did.

Yeah, boy.

>> Which made things way more easier and to

be honest, more enjoyable as well.

>> That's why the diffuser can hold when

Alex stepped on the diffuser and then

stood on the wing. That's why it can

hold it because that

>> is a step.

>> Yeah, that's a full like carbon fiber

structure. That's That's world strong.

Cool. Oh, I like the way that come

apart. Like you didn't really have to

undo many bolts. You if you know the

bolts you need to undo, you just undo

them a bit. And because they're all cut

out like this,

like look, cut out. Cut out. The whole

thing would just slide off. So again,

I've undone loads of bolts, which I

didn't need to. So I'm going to put

these these ones back in.

>> We're now getting steps closer to

separating this car. The next thing me

and my dad are removing the airboxes

because we think they're obstructing

some of the bolts. Once we remove the

air filters, there's more bolts inside

the airbox that we need to undo and then

we can lift it out.

>> And even the airbox is made out of

complete carbon fiber. It's crazy to

think how expensive these parts actually

will be. Even the bolts holding them on

look like they've come out of a Swiss

watch, and you would never have seen

them unless you were working on the car.

But with them out, we can now lift the

car in the air.

>> Tony, underneath here is some critical

damage.

>> Yes.

>> But we're not going to show you yet.

You're going to have to wait and see.

>> Okay. Yeah. Can't see it yet. No

looking.

>> It It looks like again, we can see bolt

there to separate. Bolt there to

separate, bolt there to separate. A

total of 14 titanium bolts that the

technicians are now fastening ensure

that the front and rear sections are

joined firmly together. So, we know

there's 14 titanium bolts to undo. And

at the minute, we can only spot about

eight. So, we've still got some work to

do. But before we even get to starting

undoing those bolts, we've got to start

undoing the gearbox from the front of

the car. And the front differential is

up here. And the gearbox is here. And

the differential is above this big

thing, which is the battery. And we want

to take that out because we probably

should have disconnected that already.

The battery is like one I've not seen

before. It has four terminals. A

positive on one side here. Then the

earth cable directly next to it. We've

got to disconnect both of them. And then

in front of that, there's another

positive terminal and another negative

terminal. All of which are joined

together. Once they're disconnected,

there'll be four bolts holding the

battery in.

And it was really light. Look at that.

With the battery out, we can now see the

prop shaft or drive shaft as the

Americans call it. We've got to

disconnect this from the gearbox because

this is going to stay on the car whilst

we separate the back off it. We have

marked it just in case it was balanced

so we know that we can put it back in

the exact same spot. And after that,

there's more coolant lines which are

running from the back of the car to the

front, which we're also going to

disconnect, as well as air con lines.

Okay, we're doing pretty good.

Electrical connections are disconnected.

Prop shaft is disconnected. Coolant

lines disconnected. We need to save as

much fluid as we can. We need to know

what fluid is coming out because Bugatti

are not going to tell us. What's next

are these. So, we think we've got a

hydraulic line here and then another

hydraulic line. I've lost it here. So,

there's two. Then there's two more

hydraulic lines. One there and one

there. And then two brake lines. So, you

got two brake lines for

right wheel, left wheel. Then you've got

two hydraulic lines per wheel. One for

that wheel, one for that wheel. So, four

hydraulic lines. And we think that's for

the nose lift suspension. And then if

you come back down here,

this is all the mechanism which controls

the nose lift which goes up. We think

it's just a fair air. Might be wrong,

but only Bugatti know, but that's the

only thing I could see that why these

lines will run from the back to the

front out of a hydraulic unit. We think

it's going to be central hydraulic fluid

in it. We're going to capture the fluid

fluid anyway, just to make sure cuz if

it's anything special, we need to put it

back in. So, Alex is going to catch the

fluid and we're going to undo it. Make

sure every bit is catched.

>> I got it.

>> Let's go.

>> So, it's time to undo these hydraulic

lines, which we think is for the nose

lift.

>> Get Should we be wearing safety goggles?

No.

>> Yeah, you should.

>> You got healthcare?

>> First one out. And there was nothing in

the first one.

>> We're good. We're good. What the hell?

There's nothing there. So, maybe it was

just a return line. But the second one,

there was a lot. And yep, it's green.

So, it's looking like it's central

hydraulic fluid. But we're going to

capture as much as we can just in case.

After I took off the other hydraulic

line, Alex caught the fluid out of that

one. He was pretty happy with this

contraption.

>> After that, I had to undo a brake line.

And just above that, another hydraulic

line. And my dad and Alex was catching

all of the fluid. This is the thing.

This build is not like any other that

we've ever attempted before. And because

of that, we're doing things in a way we

never would have done. All this fluid we

would have disposed of before. There is

still this big electrical loom here

which goes into the car. And I'm hoping

I'm hoping I'm really hoping. I don't

know yet, but we're going to try. I

think that is going to be one massive

plug inside here, like underneath the

seat or something. And I vaguely

remember on the video where they built

it all together, there was just one guy

like plugging something in in the

seating area. So, I'm going to have a

look at that when that comes down. See

if we can unplug that. Pull that wiring

away. And as far as I'm concerned,

everything under here is all

disconnected and ready to go back. So, I

hopped up into the car. But then to

remove the carpet to have a look

underneath it, I need to take the

accelerator pedal out cuz that's bolted

to the floor. And once I got that out, I

can then slide out the carpet, which

should give me access to whatever is

underneath it.

Everything is all here. So, all of these

electrical connectors need to be

disconnected and then they need to slide

through the tub onto the outside. But so

far, to take this apart, I can't see why

you'd need any special training. Unless

I'm just being completely oblivious. It

doesn't seem much different to any other

car that we worked on. If anything, it's

actually been easier. Now those

connectors are undone. I can slide it

through the hole in the tub. And that is

job done. Job done.

>> Next up are the coolant lines on the

outside of the tub, which are running

from the radiators at the front, which

we need to get repaired, all the way to

the engine at the back. But these in a

really accessible position on the side

of the car.

Alex has done the coolant pipes. Uh,

also the wiring which goes into the car

is all grouped up in here. So, what we

figured out is if we undo this box

that inside this box is loads more

wiring. But again, just on connectors.

And one thing we did notice is that all

the wires are white, which would have

been a nightmare if this car was fire

damaged or had any wiring damage. It

would have been really hard to know

without a wiring diagram where any of

them go with them all being the exact

same color.

And there was one final wire that we

need to disconnect from this board. And

once that's loosened, the front part of

the loom should separate from the rear

part of the loom. Got to undo these

bolts here

and then start threading that wiring

back out through the front of the tub.

And my dad's doing exactly the same on

the other side. wiring loom for the

front goes that way. So that's all the

wires which should run to the back now

separated, which is good on this side.

That's pretty good. Once once we know

how it comes apart, I think it's going

to be so much easier for us to put it

back together because we know what we've

taken off, what we don't need to take

apart, what we don't need to take off.

Like a lot of the stuff we're kind of

just figuring out at the minute. But

yeah, I think I think we're good. I

think that's all the loom out. are just

the last final bits and this coolant

bottle there which I think you've got

the massive coolant bottle for the

engine. Um, and then a separate cooling

bottle for all the cooling for the

turbos. It's a separate thing. I've got

to get this out the way because one,

there's a bolt which is behind that

which is holding the rear frame to the

actual monok behind it. But also,

there's a bunch of hoses and stuff which

I need to get to behind it. So, I'm just

going to take these two bolts out.

And this should lift out.

>> Okay. Very expensive bottle

>> over there.

>> Look at that little weapon down there.

That bolt there is the one holding it to

the front.

So, this is it. It seems like we're at

the point where we need to loosen the

nuts which hold the back end of the car

to the front. We actually might be able

to do this. First step, we're going to

do all the bolts underneath and then

we're going to do all the ones on the

top. All this special tooling that we

got to use, we of course don't have it.

So, we're going to have to compromise.

So, up the car goes and we're going to

loosen everything underneath. Okay,

first step complete. Bolt number one is

now out. And these are titanium bolts.

Straight on to bolt number two. We're

now going to support the gearbox just in

case when I remove bolt number three and

bolt number four, the gearbox doesn't

try and swing down.

Next up is bolt number five.

>> Next one.

And then bolt number six on the corner.

Felt a bit of slack. We're getting a bit

of daylight between the engine,

the engine, and the front frame. And now

bolt number six is out. Now we need to

support the rear end of the car and

we're going to work out what we're going

to do with the front end of the car. I

don't know. Wait, Alex thinks we can

lift it and move it. I'm going to back

that, but I'm skeptical cuz no, none of

us have ever lifted the front end of a

Bugatti before. The tool that Bugatti

use probably costs hundreds of thousands

and we've got nothing like it. So, we're

going to have to improvise with it. Now

my dad's on the inside of the car

turning the cable so it'll put the

gearbox into neutral so we can push it

forward again. And now that we've pushed

it forward, we're going to put the arms

of the two post ramp under the rear of

the car to support the rear frame that

the engine and gearbox is on.

So, this cable which is used for

emergencies to put the car in neutral,

you pull it um to I've disconnected from

here, but it looks like

it's too big to fit through that hole

like which is a shame. So,

really we got to disconnect it from the

gearbox. We can't do that now cuz we'll

have to put the car in the air again.

So, what we're going to do is when we

pull the front away from the car, the

car is going to go all the way to the

end here. And then I'm hoping that's

enough for me to find the cable when it

on the gearbox when we move it forward

and I can disconnect it from there.

Worst case, I'll have to snip the end.

It is just like a BMX cable. And then

we'll put a new fitting on the end. I

don't want to have to do that, but we'll

see what happens when we start moving it

forward.

So, so close. Now, with all the bolts

being loosened underneath the car, it's

time to take out the nuts and bolts

holding the rear frame to the front of

the car, which are on the outside.

And now I'm undoing bolt number eight. I

think six. And again, the same on the

other side. And Alex is doing a few as

well.

Remember, there's 14 bolts which hold

the back to the front. And we're hoping

we've disconnected everything else which

holds it. It wasn't long until I took

the final bolt out.

>> I'm going to slide a little bit of wood

with some wheels underneath the tub and

hope that can support the weight of it

when we start pushing it away from the

back.

>> Where did you get that from?

>> There you go. We got one.

>> And on the other side, we use the wheels

which come off the bin. It looks like we

did miss a few pipes out which were the

fuel lines as I thought the fuel tank

come with the rear frame but clearly it

doesn't and that stays in the front

monop. So all the fuel lines have got to

be disconnected which we did. Three,

two, one.

>> It's a

three places in the world now.

>> That's it. The front of the car was

actually separating from the rear. My

dad's now disconnecting that cable which

went from inside of the car to the

gearbox, which now allows us to move the

front of the car even further forward.

The unit doors got to go up. And

eventually, we've moved it furward that

we was at the point we were all clear of

the engine and gearbox.

>> Yeah, that should swing now.

>> Bro, the fact that this is on garbage

canned bins.

Yeah, it's literally on bin wheels.

>> Just think the money that we could have

saved Bugatti.

>> We've done it.

I guess it is true what they say. If it

was built by a man, it could be repaired

by a man. But we all know it's one thing

taking this car apart. It's another

skill to put it back together. But this

is just an example of one of those

things in my life where someone's told

me that it's not possible to do, which

makes me just want to do it more and

more. And I didn't get to the position

I'm in now through not giving it a go.

And look what happens. Sometimes

it does actually work out.

Time to start fixing. This actually

wasn't too bad at all. And when we look

look at it, I'm trying to understand how

this whole car works. And it's it's

actually like well interesting. Like it

it's really cool. So the gearbox is

here, right? Which actually isn't that

big of a gearbox compared to other stuff

that we've seen. Starter motor on the

top. It's got regular starter motor.

Thank you so much, Bugatti. We not got

any of that electric weird stuff. The

fuel tank here and here. Big massive

fuel tank. assume they need to be big

because if this car is traveling at top

speed, there's that crazy like story

about that it drains its fuel tank in

like 12 minutes or something. We think

what's happened is the engine is shunted

forward like that and that's what's

caused the crack and we can see damage

from that. So, perfect example is this

pipe here, this coolant pipe has been

squashed because the engine's gone

forward into that. There's a little bit

of damage to the tub there. like Bugatti

will be replacing the tub because like

that's in my opinion not going to cause

any harm to anyone or anything. See here

the dent from the engine coming forward

like that. This tank is not a fuel tank.

It's actually looks like a a tank for

all the hydraulics of the gearbox. And

that's how the gearbox selects its gear.

All these hydraulics, all uh hydraulic

pressure to use to shift. What we're

worried about is to get to this damage,

which I'll show you in a minute. It

looks like we're going to have to take

this gearbox away from the car. We have

to disconnect it. And what I'm really

worried about is if we undo these

hydraulic lines and then when we put it

back together, there's air in the system

and there's probably a weird bleed

procedure which you need a Bugatti

computer for, which we obviously don't

have. So, we've got to either work out a

way of disconnecting the gearbox and

leaving the hydraulic lines connected,

or we just send it and disconnect the

hydraulic lines and hope when we connect

it back up and fill the hydraulic fluid

back up, it will still all work as

usual. Let's take a look at the damage.

You can see it now. Am I allowed?

>> Yeah.

That's holding the whole engine up in

it. Look at those two mounts there and

there. And on the other side, it's the

same story. But but don't you think that

this part actually will come off? Look,

these massive bolts.

>> And there was bolts on the other side as

well.

>> That could be a really good design. If

that comes off, that's a really good

design that that does do come off like

that.

>> Yeah, because it's a completely separate

part and it's not the engine block.

Let's hope that that piece does come off

separately. It actually bolts onto the

engine mounts and supports the whole

engine. But rather than the engine

mounts breaking, the actual cast

aluminum has broke. And it looks like if

we're going to try and remove that part,

we're going to have to separate the

gearbox from the engine. First step,

taking off this starter motor. O2M

911 024B.

Exactly the same part number. That

starts up a pat and that starts up a W16

engine. What a starter motor that is. I

bet they never go. Oh no.

Okay. Right. We're going to get the

starter motor off. First thing, let's

get the power w

power wire off without breaking it

because we won't want to have to replace

it, will we? cuz we can't get one of

these. Right. Power wire

off. This car's going under a pretty

serious repair. And as long as we put

the car back together, well, there's no

way anyone should know it was in this

state. Removed a starter motor

from a Bugatti Chiron. The only way they

would know is if they put the VIN number

into car vertical. And if they did that,

it would show them a full report of the

car. It'll tell them whether it's ever

been stolen, whether it's ever been

exported or imported, whether it's had

any mileage fraud, and of course,

whether it's ever been in an accident,

just like this one. On top of that, I

can see when the ownership's got

changed, and even when this car was

registered as damaged.

>> Naked.

>> Right now, I'm having to undo these oil

lines. There's no way around it. But I

don't think these are the high pressure

ones. These oil lines are literally just

to lubricate the gearbox. Right, let's

get this oil out. This is not the

hydraulic stuff, so we're okay.

>> Is that from a soap dispenser?

>> Yep.

>> It works. It ain't stupid.

>> It's actually working. And

>> of course, I'm trying to save every last

drop of oil just in case we can't find

the correct oil to put back in it. The

soap dispenser seems to be doing just

fine. Getting out all the last little

drops of oil.

We are being forced to drain this tank.

This pipe here goes to the gearbox. And

it doesn't look like we're going to be

able to take the gearbox off with that

pipe connected. The other big hydraulic

pipes here with pressure in we might get

away with. We might. But let's drain

this uh fluid out. We really we ain't

going to regret this because this could

be the difference between having a

brigade which drives and not drives at

the end. Another thing Car Vertical

might do is if the car was involved in

an accident, it's likely to show you

photos of when the car was auctioned off

at the car crash auction site. Just like

this one, all the oils drained, the

lines are off, apart from the hydraulic

lines, which we think have got pressure

on which are going down and into the box

there. And all the solenoids, we're

going to try and keep them on just in

case. But remember now before we start

undoing these bolts to take the gearbox

away from the car to check your car out

on car vertical with the link in the

description box below and use the

discount code which is on screen to get

discount on that check. Now we send the

car up see if there's any bolts

underneath we need to take out to take

the gearbox out because everything else

once this car is down and that gearbox

comes off we won't be able to raise it

in the air again especially with those

lines connected. So let's make sure

we're doing the right thing. send it up.

See if there's any bolts. So, these are

the lines that we've kept on the

gearbox, and we're hoping to keep them

on. They come out of actuators on top of

this oil tank and run down along the

side and then go to the solenoids on the

box. And we think they're going to be

under pressure, so we don't really want

to mess with them. This is the damaged

part, right? But we got to commit to

taking everything off like these wires

here.

The waste gates to the turbo. It's it's

easier to see on this side, but the

waste gate for the turbo, which we think

might be damaged, goes through and into

that into that casing. So, we need to

make sure that that is you can deattach

the end of the waist gate by a little 10

mil rub and it should come off the end

of the waist gate. like the waist gets

like that and then the electronic

section of the part there which will

push it in and out is on this side.

There's just one bolt holding it here

and we should be able to slide it off

there which is attached to this. You can

see just here the little 8 mil bolt that

I've got to undo to get the electrical

section off that wastegate. On top of

that, I've got to start undoing the

bolts which are holding the engine to

the gearbox. I found out I can just

twist the waist gate to get better

access to that 8 mil, which is going to

help a lot. I've managed to get to it

pretty easy on this side, but the other

side's going to be a little bit of a

challenge. But me and my dad eventually

managed to undo all the bolts underneath

holding the gearbox to the engine and

those wastegate bolts. And now we're

bringing the engine down to do the

remaining bolts which we can see on the

top. Final bolt is out and we should be

able to separate the gearbox on the

engine. And now we can find out whether

that damaged part will unbolt

separately.

>> Yeah,

the theory works

and it's looking pretty good. The

flywheels in the center, but the bolts

around the outside look like they'll

release that damaged cast aluminum part.

Um,

all we've got to do now is unbolt the

flywheel, which is super lightweight.

And once that's out the way, we can

access the bolt, which is hopefully

holding in this damaged cast aluminum

part.

And once those bolts are out, we can

start wedging away this part away from

the engine. And it should be a little

bit easier at the minute because it is

broken.

Yeah, boy.

All of that for this.

That's

That's so bad. A lot of force has gone

through that. Ain't it? But that's the

weak point. like that. Like this is

strong. And then as soon as it's made

little wings off the side, it's just

gone snap straight off. Okay, we've

still got the rest to get off. This is

going to be trickier. We've got to get

the rest off the engine mounts now. And

then we also then got to plan. We got to

make a plan on how we're going to fix

this cuz after we do this, the whole car

can go back together.

Where did the music go?

>> Now we just need to get off the

remaining part of that broken aluminum

piece. You can see it's resting actually

on the engine mounts. So now I'm undoing

the two bolts which hold it to each

engine mount.

>> There's one out and here's the next one.

>> And the only thing holding it in now is

the waste gate.

But eventually it come loose. Yeah. It

it's off. The wastegate actually

looks okay. Originally, I thought this

might be bent because all the weight of

the engine went onto it, but it looks

like it survived it. Someone told us

that that wastegate has to be in the

exact position

going on there, else it's not going to

work. But it's got, look, it's got that

slinky on.

It's got two slinkies, so it actually

doesn't matter. Look, it's got loads of

play. And as long as it twists, that's

just opening and closing the waist gate.

So, it doesn't If you're a mill, it's

really not going to matter at all

because you all it needs to do is twist.

I could be up here. I could literally be

up there and that's still going to

twist. All the uh the electronic

wastegate does is this is plugged in.

When the turbo when you let off the

throttle when it's got that excess

boost, this will just twist to open and

close the wastegate electronically. The

annoying thing it just sits in that

mount which is here and you can see it's

just broken clean off. But there is a

chance we might be able to get it

repaired. The next step is getting the

other side off which is broken in the

exact same way.

>> Yeah, boy.

And there it is. the last remaining

piece.

Oh yeah, that's crazier that the whole

weight of the engine is on that

platform. And this part here is the

whole reason we've had to strip this

whole entire car to pieces. Let's just

hope we can get it repaired or even

made. Look at that. Look at that.

There's good news and bad news of all of

this. We got

good news is that we've now took off the

last part of the car that's broken

and it looks like this. We still have

little things to fix. We've still got

the chassis legs at the front. We've

still got the carbon fiber damage at the

front there. We've got the interior to

go in. We've got the whole back of the

car to sort out. But everything from now

on

means we're putting back together and

we're fixing without parts from Bugatti

and we've already done and accomplished

what

was we were told couldn't be done which

is give us confidence. Maybe it's false

confidence but I don't know. We we will

still proceed from here. The next step

is to try and get that fixed because as

soon as that's fixed we can start

building up the rest of this back up.

Once that's built back up, we can attach

it back to that. Once that's attached

back to that, the interior should be

trimmed and done. And all the airbags

from the Audi A3s, the DB11s can go back

in. The interior can go back in. Then we

can pay our attention to the front and

we can work out what we're going to do

with this. And that is the reason why

we're here at Blackhorse Automotive, cuz

these guys can actually 3D scan and make

parts from scratch, which we're hoping

they'll be able to scan a Bugatti Purse

Sport and section in this part here.

Again, all of this at the minute is all

easier said than done, but we're not

going to stop. We literally don't have

any other choice.

We've done well.

The challenge has only just begun.

>> Yeah, we only just started. And if

>> Do you want me to go there and you come

here?

There's no way that's going to happen.

We're going to be fast. Which way are

you going?

>> We got about 15 seconds.

>> Which way are you going?

>> Um

>> that that side.

>> Yeah. Yeah. I think I'm going to go to

that side. Yeah. All right. Three, two,

one, go.

like a trumpet.
