ATTEMPTING TO DRIVE THE WRECKED BUGATTI CHIRON FOR THE FIRST TIME
The video documents the ongoing restoration of a Bugatti Chiron, focusing on critical components like the cooling system and front crash bar. The team initially faced a setback when a newly fabricated radiator failed a pressure test, preventing the car from being filled with coolant. This radiator, made by Bob, was believed to have been damaged in transit, exhibiting a visible dent. The first step was to re-evaluate the cooling system. While the charge cooler reservoir held pressure, the main engine radiator, which was the central component and damaged, required removal and repair. This involved disconnecting hoses, unbolting mounts, and separating the two radiators. Bob confirmed the damage was an impact that broke the internal seal of the radiator core. Instead of repairing the specific leak, Bob opted to recore the entire radiator using a new core purchased for £180, which he would then weld the original tanks onto.

WE MADE THE PARTS THAT BUGATTI REFUSED TO SELL US
The team embarked on the challenging task of repairing a Bugatti, a feat Bugatti itself believed impossible without their direct support. The primary hurdles included repairing the gearbox bracket, airbags, chassis damage, and radiators—all without official parts or guidance from Bugatti. Bob, a skilled fabricator, took on the complex task of repairing the chassis damage. He meticulously cut down the sides, peeled off the damaged sections, straightened the metal using a map gas torch, and rebuilt the compromised areas with new aluminum. Despite the intricate nature of the Bugatti’s chassis, Bob found it surprisingly straightforward, comparing it to work he had done on Euros and Bentleys. He emphasized that if parts had been available, it would have been an easy bolt-off, bolt-on fix, but in their situation, custom repair was necessary.
