your the only person I watch on TH-cam where I never skip a single second of the video ,you even manage to make the sponsored ads interesting . Keep up the good work !!
Exactly the same for me, his energy is of the scale and the fact he just simply tries to fix things himself with some ‘fabrication’ just keeps it entertaining! Keeps us all thinking ‘will it or won’t it work’…
Mat three things.. 1.. let your painted trims finish gassing otherwise your lenses will mist with chemicals, 2.. don't use tiger seal or silicons on the seal channel or inside as these also gas A LOT which stains the lens, 3.. next time you paint chromed plastics like headlight shrouds use some oven maid or any other oven cleaner.. it strips the chrome off perfectly and reduces the risk of the paint reacting (which might not happen for a week or two) I found out about these the hard way and resealing them constantly is painful
Between the headlights and the exhaust tip fitment, of all the videos you've done to date, this one screams PATIENCE OF A SAINT more than ever! Just tremendous yet again Matt and unmissable viewing.
Quick tip when you're doing headlight blackouts you can use plastidip,you don't have to sand anything,it won't chip over time and it's all reversible if you want.done it a few times and works absolutely great
Hi Matt - I've recently started watching your content and I'm really enjoying your videos. I admire your passion for cars, your work ethic and your 'can do' problem solving attitude it's really refreshing! Keep up the good work mate and keep having fun because you're inspiring a lot of people!
You helped through lockdown with your content and your content and quality of work gets better and better. Keep it up Matt followed you since the start and every week I’m still wanting more 👍🏼🔥
If your a car guy you have to massively appreciate this channel and matt just an average petrol head fucking about with cars making them absolutely fantastic. Keep it going Matt big love from Ireland 🇮🇪
Honestly compared to so many other you tubers, your content has actually been the best, and it just encourages me to buy a crashed damaged car and work on it myself, been a fan since the s5 project... Keep up to great work 👍🏽👌🏽
I've probably said this a dozen times over but really your videos are a pleasure to watch from start to finish, not sugar coated, honest and most of all inspirational. Keep it up :)
Headlights looking good. One note, I hope you don't have to open them again any time soon. Tiger seal is a mare to take off. Headlights are sealed using Butyl Rubber.
Hi Mat You know what mate …… your videos just get better every time I watch one. So glad I stumbled across you as you do looking for things on TH-cam great content Mat thanks 😊
Did a similar exhaust job on my car today, simply had no choice other than to "make it work". I think we both pulled it off! Loving this build, can't wait to see it finished.
*"The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago and the next best time is now"* I consider this to be best motivational quote I've heard in a very long time. But motivational quotes are useless if you don't practice what you preach*
Another great video. Love the way you work to solve a problem. That mentality is what makes your channel thrive and inspires others. Cant stand the disposable attitude when people just think something is broken and instantly assume they should just get rid or replace it. It's perseverance and determination that coke through and they are what puts you channel on top
This C63 build is looking great Mat & tackling all the challenges with your usual positive 'can do' attitude. Keep up the great work.....this is my favourite build & cant wait to see the next episode!
U make me wanna dig in my car start disassembling everything just to have the satisfaction u are having. Your content is amazing and your attitude towards life is one in a million!!!!
Matt, your motto is "Hard Work Beats Talent", but someone who can do so many things on cars first time and get them right must be incredibly talented! On the other hand, your capacity for hard work is itself a talent. Very few people can do it.
Hello mat I would like to say as a Mercedes owner for over 12 years this is common very common with the fuse on all Mercedes under 2013/12 . on the 2012 GL450 we had there where a lot of problems especially suspension And the fuse box
You’ll need to code the replacement ballast to the car. The ballast units aren’t specific to one model and you need to tell it what each output is connected to. For example my 2019 W205 unprogrammed used to light the indicator when you pulled main beam and would flash the DRL when indicating. If you go into the headlights on the software you should select adaptions but you may need the barcodes that are on the original headlights.
Matt, just a quick tip if the clock spring is out you will get an traction control off light (The more obvious) but being the headlights are adaptive, they will not move at all if the clock spring is out. Also your side illuminatiors (They look almost like high beams) on each headlight won't activate. Currently working through this on mine.
I've been watching matts video since the 1 series video's and just like many ither viewers Matts channel is the main channel I watch because of his honesty, integrity Well done Matt keep these videos coming 👏
Richard Hammond and James May mentioned you and your cars on TH-cam. Your game is growing, you’ve become internationally recognised as a car builder. Congratulations!
Mark, only just found your videos a few days ago whilst a few days off work over Easter, all I can say is …….love em fella, can watch for hours, keep up the good work 😉🤜🏻👊🏻👍🏻
Once you said you needed to get into the lights to fix them, I was thinking "Mat should really get rid of the chrome inside and make them black". Just as I finished thinking that, you said exactly yhe same thing. Great minds think alike.
how did I only just come across this channel?! so addictive to watch & what a collection of cars you got there mate 😮 walking definition of winning at life 😎
Nicely presented episode Mat, you are a natural buddy, camera work and editing excellent too! A Masterpiece!! You're fixing this car really beautiful and can't wait to see the rebuild of this C63 AMG monster! Amazing video as always! God bless my brother!
The Merc is coming along nicely! 😎👍It's great watching you improve these cars and solve the issues. Paint color is a really personal choice. Hope the paint you choose isn't satin or matt. I love a shiny car.
Geez mate this one almost gave me a headache on your behalf 🥵😱. But again I knew that with your tenacity you'll eventually get it right - we're back to optimism now🔥💪🏾
If the new pyro fuse doesn’t solve your non start issue, you could try using a professional OBD 2 scanner or even better, Mercedes XENTRY diagnostics to see if the motor electronics control unit requires unlocking by ‘enabling of engine start after a crash event’. Newer Mercedes models are programmed not to start after an accident, I think it was around 2014/15 when they started using this feature on their cars👍🏽
There is an explosive charge within that small box, as part of the safety restraint system (SRS), when there is a current applied via that yellow plug it sets it off. BMW has a battery safe terminal (BST) which is on the positive side of the battery and in an accident in disconnects all electrical power from the vehicle. But it's great that you can buy the fuse rather than the whole box!
your the only person I watch on TH-cam where I never skip a single second of the video ,you even manage to make the sponsored ads interesting . Keep up the good work !!
Except for the sponsors 😉
Wow that’s some ass licking 😜 🤣
100%

Does it get affected by heat

Satin black would look great but I think amg solarbeam yellow would look even better
Or have satin black with amg yellow accents
Honestly compared to so many other you tubers, your content has actually been the best, and it just encourages me to buy a crashed damaged car and work on it myself, been a fan since the s5 project... Keep up to great work 👍🏽👌🏽

The levels Mat is taking this channel to 🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵
Totally brilliant ! From working in a restaurant to fixing a C63 by using logic and sheer determination. Helpful fault fixing and body work awesome.
You’re so good for not being an at home mechanic. Keep up the great work. I love this build.

You're right, that's why I invested into assets like cryptocurrency and some stocks
Stocks are good to invest on, but crypto is more profitable
Crypto is the new Gold
I wanted to trade crypto but got discouraged by the fluctuations in price
@@ambitiousadventure1791 You have to get more experience first, work with a professional like Mr Dave Jevans on crypto to guide you step-by-step.

Great content again Mat! Can't wait to see the end product!!! Do the exhaust tips not attach to the actual exhaust?
nope
@@MatArmstrongbmx that's crazy, would of thought they would have. Never actually checked on our c63 before 🤣

Keep grinding Matt!

this exactly .. i had murder with a ballast on an E250
Really need to be sponsored y redbull because you are literally winging it every week, in a good way. Love the channel subscribed for years 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I'm from Germany and love every single video you made. The explanation and the videos are perfect edited. Good boy from the next door. Keep going 👍🏻
This guys enthusiasm is infectious, top bloke.
Been following Mat since the audi s5 build and what a journey he has been on... keeps getting better and better. True Inspiration Mat! 👍🏼

The more I watch you bring yours back to life it make me want another C63 😮 another great video.. 👍🏻
Very talented Mat! you can do electrics, bodywork and mechanics. A Jack of all trades. Keep up the good work!

Actually seeing you deep in thought trying to think how to make it fit was genius! Love seeing a genius at work
Great video again I love your tenacity of keep plugging away till you solve the problem upmost respect mat ✊👍
Your actually so smart when diagnosing problems love the videos not scared to give it a go
"I found an adjustment screw..." 😅 It's so fun to watch this, Mat!

MA you legend, this build gets better and better. Can’t wait to see more 👌🏽😎
I don't know why I love your content and personality so much
how did I only just come across this channel?! so addictive to watch & what a collection of cars you got there mate 😮 walking definition of winning at life 😎
Brings back memories of when I had headlight issues on my 14 c350, best car I ever had!
I see Richard Hammond is even giving you a mention nowadays!! 👍
Forever a Matfanboy! Loving this series!!
DECENT job with those exhaust tips man!
Not a Merc guy but this is the best build series so far imo...
Put key in pos 2 and jump starter relay, checks if starter is good and should start right up. May need to turn key fully while car cranks over
Brilliant yet again Mat!
Well done mate 👏🏻
Looking sooo mean definitely the right way to go can't wait for more content.... that's if you get over the shock 3k plus vat Lambo wing 😱
Cracking build so far Mat….. you n headlights make me howl🤣🤣…. Nice work on the exhaust too. Roll on the next instalment 👍👍
This build is really coming along! One thing you are missing is a carbon fiber lower diffuser on that black series rear bumper. 😉
One of the best channels on TH-cam....keep up the good work mat
You never have much luck with headlights on any builds! Keep up the good work!
Absolutely love your videos mate only guy I watch in TH-cam about your cars and projects 👍
This is cars all over was working fine after the fix well more content for us 🔥🔥
Nice vid again on this Merc build. I did wonder why you didn't try to solve the problem with the bulb first before painting?
Mesmerising watching you work lad. Cracking job so far!
You fearless when it comes to doing things in unconventional ways, ans in the end i always end up agreeing with. Great content as always
The gloss black looks so good! I would paint it gloss black. Satin black or matte black looks old real quick
Last 8 videos matt’s views have gone up crazy love to see it
This is gunna be the best build of your channel mat I can see the end result 👌 keep smashing the excellent content 👏
Nicely presented episode Mat, you are a natural buddy, camera work and editing excellent too! A Masterpiece!! You're fixing this car really beautiful and can't wait to see the rebuild of this C63 AMG monster! Amazing video as always! God bless my brother!
Nice one Matt 👌 loving the murdered out look👍
First like 😁 not a Merc guy normally but I am loving this build
Keep going matt!
Satin black paint is the one! And please keep those Merc wheels with spacers 🤤😍😍
Only one word describes your videos, inspiring!
I know it’s hard cause of waiting on the parts but we need more uploads, your videos are so sick! Think you should spray it yellow with black badges
Really cool project. Can't wait to see it completed
Matt smashing it again on the vids!! Getting caught up whilst travelling across Italy. Great video - I’d say keep the car Satin Black 👌🏻
What an episode this one has been!! Really enjoyed that 👍🏻.
Those headlights look so much better 🔥🔥🔥🔥
That bonnet looks powerful Matt love this build
Matt is looking amazing mate really nice top work fella can't wait to see it finally done 👍👍👍👍
The Merc is coming along nicely! 😎👍It's great watching you improve these cars and solve the issues. Paint color is a really personal choice. Hope the paint you choose isn't satin or matt. I love a shiny car.
Great content Mat, the car is looking great Mat, a real treat to watch, well done, keep an coming, well done.
Possibly a future mod but the black series also has the see through bumper. Looks amazing!
Geez mate this one almost gave me a headache on your behalf 🥵😱. But again I knew that with your tenacity you'll eventually get it right - we're back to optimism now🔥💪🏾

Chrome tips look mint, pops nice with the black
So much knowledge. Love your content. Keep up the good work bro! 💪
Satin Black! for sure, do that amg satin onyx and then maybe wrap it after :P
I had this kit put on my car a few years back. It was a nightmare. One thing after the other. It took ages.
A new Mat Armstrong, C63 video. Today is a good day!
Looks great and can't wait to hear that glorious V8.
Always look forward to a new Matt video
Sikkk build Matt! Such an interesting production.
