THIS JUST GOT VERY EXPENSIVE! MY $100K ASTON MARTIN FAILURE

The speaker recently had over six figures worth of restoration work done to his Aston Martin DBS, but the car is no longer working, with the engine failing to start. The previous restoration focused purely on aesthetics, as the car had a history of poor repairs and structural issues, including a cracked bumper and numerous stone chips, indicating it had been involved in an incident that was covered up. The speaker admits his mistake was not having Aston Martin Works check the mechanical aspects at the time, as the aesthetic repairs alone were becoming very expensive. This initial restoration took nearly two years, creating challenges for his YouTube channel and return on investment. Now, the car faces more substantial issues beyond cosmetic damage. The last time the speaker tried to start it, the car was completely dead. Aston Martin Works has indicated a long list of additional maintenance and restoration items are needed, which will be costly. The speaker is about to embark on the next phase of work to address these problems and will discover the full extent of the necessary repairs.
