Canceling that Revuelto is probably that smartest thing I’ve seen you do in all the years I’ve been following

Call Mat Armstrong/Tavarish, they'll hook you up with some parts.

Hey strad, I’m a technician and seeing that you have a shortage of tools issue I just want to give you some advice as i just did it myself. Go to harbor freight and get a 42” or 56” us general box and buy a quinn master socket set and various pliers and wrenches. Get universal joint sockets and universal joints they come in handy a lot. You can also get some really nice light pods and light sticks/flashlights there for really good prices. You also get lifetime warranty on 90% of their stuff. For a 42” us general box fully loaded it cost me about little over 2600$ after tax.

My husband passed away recently and one of his favorite channels was yours and I do like watching your show as well so I'm going to continue watching you for him he loved cars and look how fast I can say that all the time it was hilarious. Thanks for being entertaining

You did the right thing by cancelling , spending 700k (pre tax ig) and not having the dream spec wuda been a lifetime regret. Here's to hoping you'll make the dream spec revuelto soon .

Man I was so excited to see you taking delivery of the first ever brand new v12 on the channel. But respect your decision man, no-one would spend that much money on the car without their dream spec! Like always, we respect you for your honesty and being open about everything! Can't wait to see you getting one down the line, and maybe someday revive the purple army man it's been long!!🔥

5:44 - 😂 Supervisor comes to check on the work.

Smart choice! Personally I’d love to see more house content. I’m super excited to see the car on the wall, the bat cave, the back yard, the furnishing, etc! We love the cars but we also love you and your goals and love seeing your progress

Waiting for the car YOU actually want is the best option!

A tip: always buy 10MM wrenches and sockets in bulk. And regarding the canceled order, I think your honest explanation was great to hear.

Fair play. Many UKpostsrs talk about care they have ordered and they never turn up. Appreciate the honesty which is a constant on your channel.

Stradman, buy an impact wrench for removal of those bolts like the steering wheel one! Impact will get it out much more cleanly than marring it like a manual wrench. The Milwaukee m18 stubby is great Model # 2855-20

The 10mm is illusive. Whether it’s a Allen wrench, open end wrench, or a socket. The 10mm and 12mm, are illusive and always get lost. Buy a few

A lot of people have mentioned Mat Armstrong. I believe the reason why anyone in the UK can order the parts is because of the UK/EU laws pertaining to "right to repair"

The Ferrari DIY repair is the best project I've seen you take up. Also don't worry about the Revuelto, you're gonna end up with one sooner or later. Great decision making is what has made your channel what it is today. I'm so happy to see your channel evolve while you stay the same old Strad we know and love. Keep it up!

Super cool to see Cuts come in clutch with the sponsor this video. I’ve been buying from them for years (whenever I can, that is) and their clothing is phenomenal. Glad to see other people using them, as well as the brand getting their name more public.

hi James, Tomorrow i will do a school presentation about a person i admire. i chose you Strad, i am really scared to talk infront of my class. i've now been at that school for 3 years and never done a presentation infront of my class, i've only been alone with my teacher in a room that no-one hears me in. i promise that i will do it James , i'll do it for you. Please wish me luck🙏🙏🥺 Thanks For all the suport, thx to all the suporters i did it, it when't so well too! THANK YOU EVERYONE🥳🥳

2 things - you can definitely get some deals from tool and lift companies to kit out the garage. And, where is the Sterrato?!?!

Thank goodness you’re recording so you can rewatch and put everything back together

Love cuts. My high-school buddy founded it. Love the hands on videos!

I think all of us in the US are just dismayed by the turn of events. We were explicitly promised the first cars. I do have some info on what may have happened but still, this is a disappointment. At any rate, James, let's collab when my car arrives--supposedly in the next month or so. **fingers crossed*

That’s why I love him, he could push as well passing above this matter but is not from him, he decided he want a car as he wishes, and I simply love the genuinity.

from james to james good job working on a car by yourself this is super cool to see you learning your car like how we do with out “beater” builds and to see you go through the same things with a whole Ferrari 😭

I was told by someone I know who has a Revuelto on order (that did the pre order in New York) that they arent being delivered to the US until dealers get demo cars in. His car is built, but they won't ship it until the dealers get theirs, and its looking like it will be around July.

Who else saw the Carwow drag race? Can’t wait for yours to arrive Strad. Edit: Oops

Tbh makes sense to cancel the order when it's not what you wanted plus they didn't do what they said they would, so spec it the way you want man do what you gotta do

So proud off u trying to rebuild ur car 😊. But there's out people doing the same. I'm sure they will help you. All da best from south africa

For every one like I’ll do 10 sit ups

James, you should totally use the donor Gallardo as your wall mounted car once you get all the needed parts off of it!

Yo James you gotta get with “obsessed garage” to build your shop garage Also it’s helpful to bag and tag every bolt and screw that you remove as well at record everything so you can watch it back Love the content bro And wait for the next upload

NGL that’s one smart move with the cancel. Why pay that amount and not get your dream spec? Mad respect for your detail explanation and setting the record straight with your viewers. This means you actually care what your viewers think about you and your content. Like you said, that was an easy decision. Can’t wait to see what you going to do with that freed up money. 👍👍 keep up the great work with your projects.

Totally understand your thought process James. Obviously we are all sad we won’t be seeing any Revuelto content by our favorite Lamborghini guy but in the end it shows that you are staying true to yourself which I find even better!

Really nice new editing style!

Cancelling was genuinely the smartest decision on this channel so far. The second the dream spec was showed already delivered it was obvious that cancelling was the right choice. Looking forward to seeing where the $700k goes instead

that is the greatest explanation of cancelling that I could have wanted, and I completely understand it because I've never seen that pink and I love purple but for something you were supposed to get but didn't, that purple is just nowhere close to where that pink color is at. love your vids and respect your choice 1000% :)

Day 12 of asking to take the sterrato offroading

I'm enjoying the transition in video formats the last few videos. A bit more subdued and the additional narration is nice as well.

idk how he does it, keeping us constantly entertained each video even when its not a big "car reveal" still one of the few yt i can fully watch the video through, sometimes even the ads lmao

You need to find a Ferrari-certified shop that is willing to sell you the parts. Ferrari ASM certification is one of the hardest to obtain, it is only given out to techs who have been to Maranello in person to learn the complications of replacing frame rails on a Ferrari. Also, you would want to find a shop to help you order parts anyway or those parts costs will be sky-high, shops with good connections can get up to 50% off of parts, and most can get 20%-30%. And on cars like this, there are multiple clips and small items that are one-time use only, you need a shop with all the manuals to help you find out which ones are, or you could end up with a rattle drum of a car

These were my exact thoughts when you revealed your spec (that a lot of people will have that same spec) and that you won't be fully satisfied considering that you didn't get to spec it yourself. 700,000 is a huge amount for something like this, and I'm glad that you cancelled it, and I'm sure that you'll get your dream spec soon. Also, the viola bast is absolutely gorgeous.

Honestly Strad no sweat! i think you made right decision, yes with as you said doing social media fast and getting it first is bar none but, end of the day boils down to you after all you would've had to / did sacrifice your dream spec at the cost of 700+K. Not worth it! if a revuelto was coming to the channel id rather view it through your vision if that makes sense because what i love about your channel is your so genuine with us and seeing you hyped hypes me as I'm sure it hypes all of us. great call and hope maybe just maybe Lamborghini will give you a shot at being able to spec one or as you said another opportunity presents itself that you love because bar none makes for best content!. Cant wait to see what else comes, still amazing to see how far you've made it from back when i first started watching. You definitely still need a Diablo in the collection 🙌

When you pull this build of James it's gone be soo Cool ! And the knowledge you get from doing it gone take any Fear away to work on any of your super cars again 👌 I really like that you ate doing this 😀

Lived this video. The voiceovers youve been doing have been great, canceling was a good choice, the nitty gritty on the Ferrari has been fun (Ive always been a HUGE fan of Tavarish). Great job James

JAMES! How to fix the car without nudging a dealship to smuggle you some parts; 1. OEM spec out the window 2. work with engineer content creator to redesign/recreate the frame rails and damaged parts - Potential to make custom bodykit or extend the body. You could dod anything pretty much, especially since 3d printing has been making things a lot easier 3. tally up a budget of the OEM build done by Ferrari, vs. custom build - including marketing possibilities such as sponssorships or mech sales 4. decide and pursue a rebuild, or sell it and recoup as much as possible - that's what I would do from a UKposts Business perspective

mat Armstrong influence is crazy

Hey James. OG follower here, just want to say I love your content and with that being said. You don’t ever have to apologize for what you decide to do with your money that you work hard for.. I think canceling that order was a great idea. That’s a lot of money for a car that isn’t your dream spec. Keep up the great work and look forward to what’s next 🤙🏽

Dude I completely respect your decision on the reveulto, a guy I know here in Perth got an early allocation spot and it has been delayed a total of 4 times and now is said to be coming in 7 months! But what do you think you’ll do with the money? Maybe a Porsche gt car and a mclaren you don’t have any of them.

I like this (maybe new?) playback voice and timelapses when you work on stuff , I think it balances the video out !

Really great you are tackling this rebuild. Impressed.

Absolutely loving the 812 Project. Just a great vibe and change.

Good call! Do more house content and updates plus the 812 repair! Then you can get the special version of the Revuelto (sv or whatever)

Nobody in their right mind would pay that much for “cuts” clothing

Always love watching stradman vids best time of the day are watching these 😂😂

I love your Snapchat stories so much, watch them every day on the bus to school and get to know what’s happening with your cars

Hey strad I am big fan just a small concern if u have seen the flood in Dubai and some other parts of the world u see so many cars being a Destroyed and because we love u,ur content and the cars we care we don't actually know if the rain will coming towards ur continent but try to act quick coz u will never know what happens keep up the good work ur father would be proud of u

Mat Armstrong Would know what to do😂

James , I love the way you’ve been doing the videos recently with the voice overs . I’ve been watching you since car spotting years ago and this is one of my favorite additions to the vlogs . Thanks for always entertaining us keep up the amazing work and have a blessed day .

@stradman a widebody kit could work and a bit of pulling certain parts back to form

Please follow TORQUE SPECS. That steering wheel bolt is a one time use fastener. It’s torqued to yield.

Makes total sense James! Get it the way you want and love it....

100% understand why you cancelled. Simply put, they broke their word. So you break the sale. $725k has so many better options to offer than the Revuelto does.

TheStradman Great Video I'm glad you managed to remove your Absolutely Gorgeous 812 Superfast's Dash and I can't wait to see more progress on it and I definitely understand why you canceled your Revuelto

Absolutely love the transparency, makes absolute sense

52 seconds is crazyy Love you Stradman I'm so proud of everything you've accomplished, and you deserve every piece of credit you have

I can almost guarantee the Key Bridge Collapse is the reason for US delivery delays. Port of Baltimore usually handles those vehicles.

It honestly makes sense the decision you made. I also understand getting caught up in the moment and the fact that you are a car influencer so you wanted to get your hands on it quicker than everyone else. If you weren't a UKpostsr I'm sure you would have been much more willing to wait the couple more years to get the dream spec. But oh well you made the best decision and you'll have another chance to get one soon I imagine.

It would help if you started bagging the bolts to each part it corresponds to and take photos before unmounting.

I would have done the same thing… I am not spending any type of money if I’m not fully 100% satisfied!! It’s hard earned money, and if you spend it on something that you’re not 100% sure you want, then you just end up regretting it and you don’t feel your money was well spent! Good job for not caving under pressure to provide content for others when your not fully satisfied!! 🤛🏾

Since you’re working on your 812 and you don’t have a lot of tools. I’d recommend a good tool set. Now I know you’re capable of affording snap on tool but Tekton tools offers a great bundle set that includes tools and tool boxes. Also Teng tools offers a similar bundle set but is a little more expensive. Just a little advice coming from a heavy equipment mechanic. Love the videos!

Strad, get yourself a pop filter for your off-camera voiceover mic. Super cheap and will up your video's production quality while minimizing voiceover splosives (p's, t's, k's etc).

please do a collab with matt armstrong im sure he might be able to get some of the parts from here in the uk and bring them over on the plane like he did with the adam lz porsche. Either way looking forward to the build good luck mate remember it's only car , a very expensive car but in stradman we trust lol

You should take each part you take off and # it in a baggie with screws, and then each time something comes off put it into your computer or notes and reverse it when you put it back together with the baggie #’s associated with the parts

You guys should realize on how much dedication stradman does on each video keep it up stradman

this man treats us like family dude the way he gives reasons for vevery single thing he does thats crazy man and btw that is the smartest decision youve made since u twin turboed ur gallardo and u could basically get it back to life and ls swap the yellow gallardo u got to save the OG much love man

Hey James!! Great work!! Just a suggestion. The bit you just used for the steering wheel is called a torx bit.. it’s similar to a hex bit but it’s got little grooves on it that’ll prevent your bolt from getting chewed up. Hope this could help.

The Rev 👍 Strad Days are great days

Zip lock baggies with part names. Easiest and best way to organize bolds and screws.

James when you remove a screw or bolt / nut after removing the part put screw or bolt / nut back so you know where they go

Loved that X files reference I'm sure Mike knofler would approve of ir

@Lamborghini you should hook this guy up ! #lamborgini #revuelto

Side note, a collab with Mat Armstrong or Freddy (Tavarish) would be epic. I’m sure some scheduling could be accomplished if you fly them out/ put them up. Worth a shot! ❤

It’s all good I would rather watch your content where your happy about what your doing and we totally understand that you don’t want the same car as 80 other people when you could have had your own custom spec don’t ever be sorry we’re behind your every move love you James❤

Yoooo 0:15

THIS IS SO GREAT MAN I BEEN WATCHING SINCE 40k subs!

The structure parts are not limited in the UK. Reach out to Matt Anderson. Maybe go do the build with him over there or see if he ship them to you

Good call on cancelling the Revuelto, like you said it's just not worth the money, if there's so many being delivered in that spec there will likely be quite a bit of depreciation on them (especially once they start bringing out STO's etc. etc.) and you can pick one up later. Love the lotus :-)!

For every like this gets ill do 0 push-ups

You know ur probably thee first person to film yourself taking apart a Ferrari 812 on UKposts mad props

I don’t blame you for canceling the Revuelto, Lamborghini did you dirty

sold a perfectly good ferrari for one he can’t fix, another brilliant move by james

Strad you really should consider getting a Hennessey Venom F5 the engine package is insane

yep, not cool what's happening.... I went through the same thing and NO Reveultos in the US, but they are everywhere else....

For every like this comment gets I'll drink 1 beer

For every like this gets I will text James’s socials once so I can meet him irl. (It’s my dream)

Something about having the money available for some different projects makes it so much more worth, 1 - the spec wasnt yours nor would it give that hype feeling, 2 - maybe the backyard workshop, or whatever plan strad might have can also get a development bump out of this, honestly the revuelto is nice, but i'd rather have strad with his spec and happy about it.

I actually really enjoyed this style video. The voiceover was great! Nice touch

48 seconds is crazy

You need to put up a long shelf in garage, to safely store all the parts. Put screws in baggie and keep with each part.

Make your own parts for the front rails but warning it does take time and alot of work it's going to be the worst nightmare but the end result is just fantastic

13:20 In the end, you're going to win in this issue here. Because the SVJ Version is going to be the dream spec you really want
