Today, we take one giant step towards finishing my $2,000,000 flooded McLaren P1, and that's testing the electrical system, breathing the first signs of life into the car since it went into the ocean nearly two years ago. We also take a look at fitting the bespoke carbon fiber clamshell once and for all,thanks to Shawn from Attacking The Clock Racing.
Wish us luck, we will need it!

F*ck butterhelp!
Good work, my brother! Not just on the car, also on you.
thats 100% ghostbusters proton pack
Thank you for pronouncing Aluminium correctly. You clearly have been spending time with Mike, Elvis and Alex.
I think you should name the car "Sandy"...
Kind of crazy how you can repair something so complex when you simply have access to diagrams and schematics. No wonder why companies in every industry are fighting right to repair so hard. Keep up the good work my dude, this journey is wild.
He, and his team are the greatest Mechanic's that ever lived
I did not expect to see the greatest technician that's ever lived here
Hey its the greatest technician that ever lived! How are you doing?
omg its the gooch master
I mean the greatest technician thats ever lived
Well if this is as far as you get, you still have the world's coolest night light.
Can always count on you Ed to take some wind out of Freddy's sails like the older sibling you are to him😂 cannot wait for another car trek series!
Why did I read this in your voice 🫤
😂😂😂
Hahahahaha that is good
Vinwiki always be hating. He know he's jellin bro!!
I worked at McLaren when P1 was launched. It was a crazy, manic, stressful and exciting time, all rolled into one. You need to contact Richie Sibal, who was head of P1 Electronics at the time. He might be able to talk you through the harness technical stuff.
42:10 Adam is seriously the biggest hero of this whole thing. I mean, everyone is doing their part no doubt but Adam is doing the thing we ALL hate the most; and perfect.
My thoughts exactly. Tavarish should add a couple more zeros to Adam's paycheck.
My toxic trait is thinking that I would be able to reproduce the harness like Adam does
They screwed up taking off the Valvoline wrap! IMO he should have made a second clam shell and body kit and put the Valvoline on display. His buddy who custom makes carbon fiber shells (who he ‘went into biz with) should build a second fine-tuned shell that becomes the final P1 carbon fiber body. Just my opinion
Adam is going to be the unsung hero of this build. Wiring was definetly the most dificult part of this build so far and he got it done single-handedly. What a genius!
You beat me to this comment. Adam is the real hero of this series if it all works when its back in the car..
agree but this type work u don't want multiple ppl doing it one is what's needed
Wonder how many people now are trying to poach Adam?.
Living in a town where they build air- and spacecraft, I happen too know one or two people who can do this :)
Hope he’s being paid handsomely
Tavarish is like Oppenheimer recruiting every specialist from the four corners of earth to create the atomic bomb of hyper cars.
Honestly tho
I wonder how much it cost him so far
@@benjamint5131 At least some of it is just people volunteering though right?
@KeenDetailing Even then, it would cost a lot, especially for specialists, but it's kinda smart. He makes videos about each specialists and the videos probably make up for that hefty bill. He could never get away with this financially if he wasn't a KZheadr.
@@fishalmanac199 Yeah, it's like a preptual motion machine. But it would still be cool if he tallied everything up at the very end of the series and gave a final number.
The dude making the wiring loom is probably the most important person in this vid. Massive rEspect !
Cutting a 1of1 full carbon fiber bespoke body kit with a Home Depot tool is next level nasty Tavarish!!! 🤯🤯🤯🤯
Adam is a LEGEND. Not to discredit anybody else's incredibly hard work but that wiring job he's doing is unreal.
Adam is an absolute genius. It cannot be understated how incredible what he is doing with the wiring actually is
That’s an understatement!
Yep, the mental patience. He deserves to put his signature somewhere.
Yep, absolutely crazy.
You know the people at McLaren's minds just blew when they saw Adam building a new P1 wiring harness from scratch.
I bet his hourly rate reflects his skills 😂
Laser engineer here. That is a fibre optic laser, done by (coherently) combining several beams across a fibre bundle (which is a waveguide, like an antenna cable) because it's one of the most convenient ways to reach high laser powers using solid state means (as opposed to gas lasers). Metal vs oxide habe very different dielectric constants which means that the electric field across the interacting surface is uneven and will begin to etch away the rust and paint (if any) until the reflective surface is reached. The variation of E-H field (and charge) at the surface produces a quasiparticle called a plasmon, which can further transfer its momentum to the next layers of the material which is why the thing is so effective. The Avro 100W is a baby laser, for heavy corrosion in marine applications we're expecting 2kW ++ optical (and maybe 10-50kW electrical) At that power level, the amplifiers will not fit into a backpack form factor, and you'd clean your piece in 5 seconds, not a minute. The wavelength is around 1050 nm, beyond human range, but you get to see additional beams specular reflections and recombination, and silicon cameras will see it well, unless they have a filter glass
Not sure what you said but I totally respect the knowledge that went into it and the time you spent writing it. Thank you, I'm glad folks like you are out there.
Huh??
I emplore you to re-wire and pin just ONE connector in your car. Adam is the 🐐 on this build, crazy work!
Adam, we are definitely going to make sure you get your deserved credit for redoing the entire wiring harness. This part of the build is really what puts the entire thing together, and what you're accomplishing is AMAZING
Until somebody decides to rebuild a Duesenberg, this is hands down the greatest KZhead rebuild ever to me. Keep up the great work.
I think Jay Leno has
@@corey4109 True he did but didn’t show it like a KZheadr would.
@@lowerd1 in his defense, I think it was also before youtube was as big of a platform as it is now lol
@@corey4109 yeah and I don’t think there are anymore to do now. His videos are cool though especially the old and rare vehicles like the Steam cars.
Nah, Binky still wins
My favorite thing about this series isn't just how brilliant Tavarish, Jack and his whole team are but also how amazing all of these experts he has who put their touch on it. I love seeing how these different unique jobs you normally wouldn't ever hear of that are artist at what they do. Amazing video like always tavarish. P.S ADAM IS A MONSTER! amazing!
those healights looked like they were readyu to go in the P1 though they werent in the car the headlights still showed the emotion of happiness. A P1 which thought that it's journey was over in the flood was saved by a dude with a dream and must be glad to have his eyes back.
I know people get mad when Freddy doesn’t upload a P1 video, but this was well worth the wait, especially that ending
You are definitely right. If rather have a video that shows farther progress then a weekly one in which it's a bunch of filler video with little progress.
I wouldn't say I get mad, I'm just inpatient lol
Very impressed with Freddie's metallurgical knowledge, The cars subframe is made from aluminium because it's British but the trailer is aluminum because it's American.
I was so happy when Freddy pronounced it right when taking off the P1 suspension 🥰
Enjoying the front row seats you are giving us
TAVARISH I THINK THIS THE MOST AMBITIOUS CAR PROJECT ON KZhead EVER BROTHER CONGRATULATIONS YOU DID IT
Adam is wielding some kind of dark magic to be able of such feats ! True genius at work !
The excitement in your voice when the dash lights up is so wonderful to hear. This is some of the best car content ever, not just youtube car content. Everyone involved should feel proud of what you’ve done so far. Can’t wait to see the rest of everyone’s hard work pay off!!
Thank you for the updated video, totally appreciated I know that you guys are working 100 times harder off camera, but I know that so many people are here supporting your journey, and I am pretty sure McLaren is watching this in secret. Looking good, sending positive vibes to your team. So glad that you were happy to see the rebirth push out a heartbeat with the console lighting up along with the front lights, what a smile outside and inside you shared with us.
Holy shit. Was that an American saying aluminium correctly?
I'm sure that everyone who has followed this P1 journey is genuinely really happy to start seeing this all start to come together for Freddie. It's been great seeing so many people collaborating on it.
AWESOME! I finally got my P1 fix. Everyone involved is super talented, but Adam is a GENIUS! That wiring harness is terrifying.
16:01 ... this is the moment that made this 14 part saga, LEGENDARY!
I would like to remind you, that you've gone from struggling with soft top electronics problems in the Gallardo Spyder, to tackling a full P1 harness rebuild .... I'm just speechless at where you've managed to take this! The second that cluster lit up, I saw the same excitement that you had when tackling your first exotic build . I really love this whole experience for you. Thanks for sharing it with the rest of us!
The look on your face when the wiring works was priceless. The carbon guy is going to be a wizard. Not long now guys. Thank you 👍👍👍😎😎😎
24:11 begs to differ. PERFECT for a "caption this" giveaway contest.
Literally stopped working on a customer car to watch this video. You are a truely genuine and down to earth person who builds some truly epic cars. I saw your murcielago back when you owned it at the perterson and it was something truely special. Hopefully ill be able to see more of your builds in person! Thank you for taking on projects that most people would never dream of doing!
Freddie, I'm smiling as much as you are. What a journey! I can't wait for more! Be well and safe travels!
Progress! Amazing work guys.. really great to see it coming along and with all the help of wonderful automotive enthusiasts. What a great community to be a part of.
New P1 Vid up?!? 😮. Bro I’m in for every one of these till I see it on the road! This is the best car revival on YT far and away!
Thanks!
I’ll agree with Jack. This IS the most ambitious project on KZhead.
We all need to have your incredible patience on this build!!! Cannot wait for your next upload! We are living vicariously through you and the amazing contributors to this harrowing undertaking to not only bring back from the dead, but to level up upon resurrection. Thank you for allowing us to come along for this journey!
I restored my 1953 Porsche in the early 1980's. A friend had a medium blaster. He did the aluminum trim and brought in with a high gloss, like chrome. I asked to do the trim so it looked like 1973 Ducati 750SS aluminum luster. He did it. I don't know what the "grits" are but there is a powder out there for every desire of finish.
The walk of shame with the wiring harness reminded me of the classic comedy "The Jerk," where Steve Martin is walking down the sidewalk with his pants around his ankles and carrying all of his possessions!!😂
Yes! 🎯😀
Great callback! Love that movie... Tell me your age without telling me your age 😂😂
Made me think of predator with the spline scene.
Last time I was this early, I saw the milkman sneaking out of my neighbors window!
c'mon... It's post 2020 Surely its the milk they/them
Milking Person 😆
@@IanFergusonRealtor I guess you can describe what she was doing that way!
Now in my defense, the front door's hinges were squeaky on the way in.
@@tomsonfire3740lmao
I was so invested in this series im so happy we got another episode
Man two months of work summed up in 50 minutes thats wild. Crazy cool project.
Thank you for the amazing content, Freddy and team! This is truly remarkable, the car, the team, the captain (Tavarish), and everyone involved. A dream come true for us car fans!
Thanks so much!
So stoked for you, could see the genuine excitement when the dash came alive
See you guys in 6 months!
Congratulations on bringing her to life! This has been an incredible series so far. Glad you’re sticking with it
Tavarish, you and the guys are a testament as to what anyone can accomplish when coupled with others, with the skills needed, patience, knowledge and the openness to learning from failures, trial by error and the sharing of ideas and thoughts! Congratulations 🎉
ya anyone with a couple million dollars laying around
Anyone else old enough to get a Jonny 5 alive Moment when the lights came on ( Short Circuit film) Congratulations to Tavarish, lot of People slamming him for having no P1 content and Congratulations to Adam, that wiring takes a Special kind of Person to have the skills and Patience to sort that Nightmare 🤪👏👏👏
Need input!
I did! What a cool moment
No joke that was the first thing I thought when he headlights came on.
Probs to that guy for sure, anytime I have to diagnose an electrical problem anxiety levels get really high and takes me awhile to figure it all out. Great freaking work. Can’t wait to see it all done
you all guys did great job but Adam’s work was the most impressive bro I can’t imagine the nightmare of putting so much wiring together 🥶🥶
Easily became one of my favorite KZhead builds!💪🏽 Especially since it’s genuine and not just because everyone’s doing it😵💫👌🏽
Imagine if everyone just causually got a flodded p1 to rebuild
genuine lol
Freddy you and the team def deserved a big win. I know there's still gonna be a lot of time until completion but patience will take you further. This is a very special build and this lady needs all the time to get ready.
So happy for you, so glad it's got this far, great team effort. Keep going.
We have to say also a big thank you to that "mini" power supply that actualy had a hard time when it had to lift the weigh of the current that went to the head lights :P That wirring job, is the worst nightmare that this man is going to have, peaceful sleep left the game. Great Job guys! I wish you best of luck and looking forward for the end of this project, when all this hard work will give you joy and goosebumps on the sight of this car!!
It takes a village. No one achieves and maintains success on their own. Tavarish has a vision, the determination, and the friends to help it all come to fruition. Thanks for taking us all along with you on this P1 journey.
Clicked that notification so fast, hell yeah been waiting for this!
Wow, what progress you’ve made. I could feel you nervous when getting ready to turn it on. Also had the excitement sitting here watching in Australia as you did in my lounge room. Great job all. Keep up the great content .
47:02 Good for you, brother!! Huge win after so much effort! Can't wait to see how this all works out in the end, but loving the journey so far! God bless!
Its alive! Looking forward to the next!
I have enjoyed watching this build so much !!! Freddy you have become, BY FAR, my favorite car KZheadr. I have watched most of them, and watching you and the fellas is so refreshing. I’ll never miss an episode again, and I’ve gone back and watched a lot of history. Keep going dude. You’ve had a rough go, but you are doing awesome.
Great work guys, thanks for the update, you are making progress. Keep up the great work. Best rebuild I have ever seen!!!
This is just an amazing story. You just nailed it before you were a regular KZheadr now you’re in a new class ride that you are the man
I WANNA SAY THAT FREDDY IS THE MOST GENUINE AND DOWN TO EARTH KZheadR AND THAT HES THE SAME GUY FROM DAY ONE. THANKS FOR KEEPING IT REAL AND COMING TO PETROLHEADONISM EVENT 💪🏻💯
Why do people write corny posts like these? Sounds like you trying to give em head
Pmsl 😂😂😂
hell yeah 100%
They say Freddy is friends with Chuck Norris, that's how everyone knows Freddy means business and takes care of his YT family 😅
@@hematoxylinit called being appreciative. Clearly an attribute you lack as your thoughts are consumed with homosexusal activities. Just come out of the closet already, tell your family and friends about the guy you have ben secretly dating gof the the past 5 years....
This is awesome! I've been faithfully watching this series from the beginning and I can not comprehend undertaking such a project. I've been working to restore my lowly 1985 VW Scirocco (only owner) for several years and each small project I complete is exciting. I work on it when I can as a single Dad, while trying to raise a teenage son and finding a few hours here and there. I'm hoping to start my car in a few months and relive the 80's. Glad to see you are living your dreams through hard work and restoring cars of this magnitude. I'll keep watching in anticipation of the first drive!
Amazing update on the flooded p1. I love it. You all are awesome. Keep up the grind. Love it all
Well done to all the team! And everyone that helped, Crazy build, glad to see so much progress 👌
I’m not crying with excitement as that dash lit up, someone is clearly cutting onions nearby… Congrats Freddie. So pumped!
I'm glad there are good news about the P1! Looking forward to see it rolling and roaring!
At first I was getting frustrated in the timeline of videos being released, but after watching today's, especially with that wiring, I fully understand now the gravity of this rebuild and the time and effort it takes into rebuilding this car. Given even how rare this car and how hard parts must be to find, the amount of rebuilding that actually has to be done is astronomical. Might as well be building a car from scratch. Take your time Tavarish, and enjoy this process. I can't wait to see the finished result.
Oh my. God technology has certainly jumped miles ahead of my time here on earth . I'm now seeing it actually work via my iPad . Absoultly amazing for me . Yes my hat is off to you guys . Continued success .
I have been waiting for this update for a long time. Thanks for keeping us up to date. It's always more work than you could have ever thought it would be.
You mean 2 months
Never have I been so excited/happy to open youtube, been waiting for what seems like ages. Thank you, keep having fun.
Loved the "aluminium" pronuntiation throw back beetween Tavarish and Mat, its great to see a friendship developed through YT 🤟🏻
BRO, my eyes started leaking a little bit when you got so excited when the gauge cluster and lights turned on. Happy for you man.
So painful, but so entertaining... Love it. Thanks Tavarish and Jack!
Babe wake up Freddy remembers his password
I am so happy for you, it’s been such a long time and such an interesting and fun journey so far and there is still so much to do but the Car is finally coming alive
Why are people downvoting this video? He's litterally saving a car from becoming junk and scrap.
With vapor blasting you can adjust the pressure and distance you hold the nozzle to achieve brighter finishes. I've finished dirt bike engines to a shine with vapor blasting. 60-70 psi at about 3-4" distance for the initial cleaning, then 40 psi a 6-7" for a bright finish.
I really feel that this P1 had tavarish as it's destiny. I don't believe anyone else would have taken the time to do as much as what he has. Most people would have paid some body shop to do the bare minimum. Congrats on getting some of the process accomplished even though it's baby steps at least it's been the best possible process.
Amazing job Freddy, this McLaren is going to be one hell of a car when she's done. You and all those have helped along the way are doing an amazing job.
Freddy, I think you missed a great opportunity to bottle and sell P1 sand 😂
I can't stop loving this guy(Freddie), the way he uses his brain to fix complex problems in this build. We've waiting and wondering but he always surprises everyone in this epic build. I love his team they're the best in the world
Glad to see the wrap come off and am looking forward to the next stage in the build
Excellent episode Freddie! Sparking up the harness was like bringing deep sleeping, deep space traveling astronauts, back to life after being in stasis for years. Congrats.
Man I give you a lot of props hang in there, got all my support behind you bro looking forward for this completion
Wow! Wow! Wow! LETS GO TAVARISH!!! The world is cheering you on!
I thought you needed way more than a shrink when you bought this project but I have to confess you are taking big steps forwards. I would recommend taking the bearings out before media blasting the suspension bits (unless you already plan on mounting new ones) Same with the driveshafts, dissassemble and treat the parts individually before having some sort of protection added to them.
Love seeing you accomplish things brother. The reactions are genuine.
I’m so happy for you Freddy, glad the McLaren is showing signs of life!
Freddie, what you get Rex and Jack to do is so hilarious, you can tell what good friend's you all are. This build is a lotta work, and it's been really fun to watch so far. When this P1 is done, it's gonna be so awesome. The sand that keeps coming out of this car after washing and cleaning it so many time's is to much, thankfully it's not leftover toilet shmoo. I work on car's when i can, because i have progressive MS causing muscle wasting, and my neurologist said that i have to stay as active as i can, because i don't want to go from a cane to a wheelchair. I have a lot of pain from a work related accident that took several surgeries to fix, and the amount of pain i am in every time i do anything is to the max, but you do what you have to do, and push through it. I appreciate these video's, because it helps me to keep moving, and to know that one day i will have my project done, and be walking. G-d bless you fellas.
All the boys need a for life beer subscription plan sponsored by Tavarish....lol
you can’t convince me otherwise that Adam with Smart EFI is basically a super human, that is crazy impressive to be able to do that kind of work!
Can’t wait to see the P1 finished. The color you picked out for the car is gonna me incREDIble. It’s a huge project and you guys are doing awesome keep up the great work and content
When this is all done and dusted, Adam needs to go on and tell the story of how he wired one of the most insane builds on the planet.
Been looking forward to this for a while now. Keep the great content coming!
I'm somewhat tired of the out of reach cars being showcased, however this car is beautiful down to the chassis. Absolutely amazing car under the skin. Definitely reignites the passion for restoring sports cars, even if my budget can't compare!
Sometimes Tavarish speaks in a way that makes him seem like the Unit 731 of the Cars Universe. also LEGALLY BLONDE MENTIONED- RAAAHHHHH!!!! 🦅🦅🦅
So good to see this moving forward!
Watched all the way through man what a wholesome moment! Congrats man on the first signs of life!
Love this series, just got to wait for the next one now. What a project!!
Awesome job Tavarish, Jack and friends! So excited to see it coming along!
