A man from Florida is attempting to rebuild an Audi R8 supercar while trying to keep the costs down as much as possible and use only parts from Temu.
Temu parts have become a bit of a trend recently, with a lot of content creators seeing what they can do to revive cars or restore them with these parts.
YouTuber Danny Z has already done this with a BMW, but has also attempted to do the same with an Audi R8 that he bought in a damaged state.
Having recently gotten the car running again, he has now decided to restore it using just Temu parts.

What was wrong with this Audi R8?
Danny Z bought the supercar when it was listed as the cheapest in the United States.
But that was because it had been involved in a wreck and needed a total rebuild.
In a previous video, the YouTuber did manage to get the car fired up again and back on the road.
The latest video focused on rebuilding and repairing the car’s bodywork using just parts bought from Chinese marketplace, Temu.
Almost everything the YouTuber needs is actually available on Temu.
This ranges from components such as the headlights, a new carbon fiber hood, and the bumpers.
There is virtually nothing that the marketplace doesn’t sell.
The biggest challenge was making all the parts mesh with the Audi supercar.
How did the YouTuber get on rebuilding the Audi?
As the video progressed, the YouTuber appeared to get on quite well with rebuilding the Audi R8.
Some of the parts needed a bit of fettling to fit properly.
But it was quite surprising how well many of the Temu parts fitted to the car.
One of the biggest issues with Temu parts is whether they will look good or not when they are on the vehicle in question.
As this Audi started to come together, the parts didn’t look cheap or tacky.
It was certainly better looking than when Danny Z bought it.
By the end of the rebuilding process, the YouTuber was over the moon with how good the supercar looked.
Even the Temu headlights and indicators worked perfectly!
