In terms of the lights on dashboard, as a mechanic with 20 years experience, i can help you with one of those lights, its a common issue on these cars, so to fix the yellow one that looks like a petrol can, you need to drive it to a petrol station and fill it up, after that the light should be gone
My thoughts exactly...even if the bond glue covers the exposed metal area, there's definitely going to be some small, empty pockets which will be enough to start the oxidation process.
I also wait for the next videos to come up. I'd love to be able to do what mat does. I'm not mechanically experienced in any way shape or form. I've done services on cars but not much mechanically apart from that. I would like to one day do something like this once money and the wife allows me 🤣 I'd love to just disappear into the garage and rebuild something. Ps.... Also need a garage 🤦🏻♂️ one day just one day! Until then i'll just stick with these vids 😁👌
Hey matt little tip I'd use tiger seal or windowscreen bond next time for arches alot more moving time till it goes off. I'm in the trade and I'd say the 2k glue you used may crack and come away over time 👍
I like how you break down each task one by one. Sometimes that what puts people off with all the work but if you chip away at each job it's more manageable.
I went back and watched your rs6 modification video from about a year ago and it’s actually insane how much more confident in front of the camera you’ve gotten. As well as the quality of the videos, madness mate good shit love to see it
Hi matt the fuse is underneath that connector you have just put on it should be around 200 amp fuse. what you have replaced just tells you the fuse is ok
Only found this channel recently and it’s amazing. Nothing seems to phase Mat he just cracks on with the job. Very talented to say the least. Addictive viewing….now for the back catalogue.
Hi, I dare say someone else has left a comment on this already, but definitely wear a mask when cutting/sanding fibreglass dude, it’s super dangerous to breathe in and can cause serious health implications further down the road (no pun intended lol)
I found your channel last week. So far I’ve watched most of this C63 rebuild. Great work! I had a pre-facelift W204 C63 with long tube headers, black on black. Always wanted a BS body kit. Love the channel!
my favorite part about his videos is he is smart for buying cars from auction and on top of that, he repairs most of the car by himself instead of dumping it in a shop. even if he is compromising safety this way, he can reinstall the airbags.
Don’t know if it’s the same for W204 as the W205 (I think it may be). But I repaired a crash damaged W205 C class recently and it had the same non start problem. Using Mercedes’ Xentry diagnostic software, I went onto the engine module. Then into adaptations and “enable engine start after crash” or something and you change it from not active to active (or vice versa there’s only 2 values) and it fixed it.
If I had enough money, I'd offer it all up right now for the to-be finished car. Don't even care that much what colour it gets wrapped with. With Matt's attention to detail, this will be a minter, keeper and a beauty.
Easily my favourite build that your currently working on. My dream daily car, something you can do your school run in, your shopping & on the weekend go round the Nurburgring to unleash all that stress from the week....lol. Can't wait for it to be finished.....
Same brake on my e class. That foot brake gets stuck a little aswell, put wd40 on the mechanism and it shots back up when you pull the handle. Looking forward to how this turns out.
awesome build but one question I have, when you sanded the paint down to the bare metal on the car so it was ready for the new panel, the part underneath wont get paint and wont that rust?
Awesome build matt & Looking great …. but honestly now mate That paint you ground off with the grinder & exposed the raw metal its just going to rust like hell in the future. that panel bond also works on top of painted surfaces I have used it many times to mount splitters / spoilers Another top video 💯🏴
I highly doubt that the arches or doors are galvanised coated underneath 😂 definitely looks like raw steel to me & I agree some chassis parts could be but definitely not the arches or doors in my experience there the first to usually rust out but like I said great car great progress but I wouldn’t have ground the paint back like that thanks for your opinion budd
Think this one needs to be black and painted Mat. MAKE THE V8 GREAT AGAIN.... definitely can imagine this with some really nice wheels on. Hoodie turned up so thanks for that! Bentlaaaaay!
I think you should get the super charger kit for this once it’s all up and running, loving the build keep up the quality vids look forward to the next one
Omg bro you are making me miss my C63 now I wish I never sold it now. But I had to sell it to start my car flipping properly…but Iv bought a E46 M3 now so il be working harder to get one again. As always bro love the great content keeps me motivated
That unit with the positive connection has a bunch of 'pre fuses'. If these go they don't always show on the code reader. If one of them go it disables the car. Few bolts to undo the unit but the cables attached to it are cable tied down so cut the cable tie and it will lift out
This is an epic build..the wide arch kit will really set this car off. You will need monstrous wheels now to fill those arches. Some Vossen wheels or style wouldn't go a miss. Looking forward to the next segment, so please hurry 🙂
This channel rocks I am so glad I found it on You Tube So original Make the V8 great again I love that great stuff also so original taking our favourite cars and giving them a new flavour Thanks Mat
Love the vid. Great build too. Mat when cuttring into or drilling hole into fibre glass you need a mask - all that dust will fuck your lungs up big time long term. Its glass fibres and the tiny particles get breathed in and stay in your lungs....
What is “electrical trunky”?? Like some sort of conduit? I wish you have shown what it actually is. The flares didn’t come with any flat surface to mount them?
Can i just add matt, absolutely licking it on the tuneage!!! #1:31. Awesome, In the background while your talking and awesome just the music to time lapse. 💪🏻💪🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻This is song is ace!!
Loving this build buddy. Ur doing a great job with the bonding and bodylit looks awesome..... Only thing I'd say needs to change is a bit bigger spoiler. That one just looks too small, maybe a ducktail sort of thing!!!! Keep up the good grind though dude!!!!!
Great job Matt, BTW happy to pick up the oval tips from you, I would be grateful if I can buy them from you, as these are the ones I need to replace my Topgear square ones...
Random question and apologies if this is covered in a video. What make is your scissor lift - is it automotech ? Would you recommend for a novice spanner spinner looking for a safe way to lift a car.

Lol. I started reading that thinking, ah nice some good info coming ... TBF I wasn't wrong 👍
@@pjones2303 thanks Paul 😂😎
send me😭
Master mechanic stuffed right there😂
If your a mechanic with 20 years experience you should know how to fix all the lights on the dash tbh
Never grind/sand down fibreglass without a mask on it can seriously fuck your lungs up.
On another note the kit looks awesome 👍
i was about to say it right when i saw it, that was big no no
Love this guy’s enthusiasm, skills and sheer hard work. 👏🏻
This is one if my favourite cars on this channel🔥🔥
Love the car but the bare metal will rust behind the body kit. Scuffing the existing paint would have been enough for a good key.
My thoughts exactly...even if the bond glue covers the exposed metal area, there's definitely going to be some small, empty pockets which will be enough to start the oxidation process.
What a wonderful build , I can’t be the only one who waits for him to upload 🔥
You’re not the only one mate
Definitely not the only one buddy👍

To think it’s been 2 years of watching this king is crazy every single video is so enjoyable
looks awesome, it’ll look sick with a 507 edition bonnet!
Satin black wrap, fully blacked out with demon/red chameleon tints. Will go nice with the red calipers🔥🔥🔥
I’m feelin’ sad that you no longer have your Lambo Gallardo as a car with no damage history for showing a clean CarVertical check
If I had enough money, I'd offer it all up right now for the to-be finished car. Don't even care that much what colour it gets wrapped with. With Matt's attention to detail, this will be a minter, keeper and a beauty.
This guy needs more subscribers look how much enthusiasm he puts into his vids like bruh
Great bodykit and hope you find out. Why it does not start up. If you don't bridge the cables.
Loving this build Mat 👌🏼
This build is starting to look off the charts 'SICK' ! I love it
Easily my favourite build that your currently working on. My dream daily car, something you can do your school run in, your shopping & on the weekend go round the Nurburgring to unleash all that stress from the week....lol. Can't wait for it to be finished.....

Patience and a great job, well done Mat.
Wonder what colour wrap it’s gonna have can’t wait see it finished Matt does some amazing work on cars wouldn’t like his insurance though lol
Let’s hope, that it will be solar beam yellow!
The AMG green would look 🔥
@@sumi7366 I would do something different and see if Matt could learn to plastic spray it then do a pearl and a hyper colour
@@Stainesyy that would look savage
@@Stainesyy came here to say the same
awesome build but one question I have, when you sanded the paint down to the bare metal on the car so it was ready for the new panel, the part underneath wont get paint and wont that rust?
This
It will rust
School boy error it will 100% rust you should've just keyed it not tinned it
@morty pen go grind your rear arches back to metal then put glue over it and send us a picture in a few months. It'll be rusted to fuck
@morty pen only takes one part that isn’t covered to start it all
Your enthusiasm is on another level mate👌🏾👌🏾
I loved the oval exhaust way better that the square one honestly
That looks sick! Can't wait to see the finished product!
hopefully the part you sanded down on the arch before you bonded it to the car wont rust.
Awesome build matt & Looking great …. but honestly now mate That paint you ground off with the grinder & exposed the raw metal its just going to rust like hell in the future. that panel bond also works on top of painted surfaces I have used it many times to mount splitters / spoilers Another top video 💯🏴
Exactly what I thought, it's a major problem, and from what Matt was saying those flares can't be easily removed due to the strength of the glue.
I highly doubt that the arches or doors are galvanised coated underneath 😂 definitely looks like raw steel to me & I agree some chassis parts could be but definitely not the arches or doors in my experience there the first to usually rust out but like I said great car great progress but I wouldn’t have ground the paint back like that thanks for your opinion budd
This is such a sick idea I don’t think I’ve ever seen someone do a black series conversion on a 4dr
Starting to take shape love the body kit looks so much better you really do some fantastic work look forward to the next video
Absolute respect Mat, a seriously talented guy, that obviously works hard. So hard work & talent walk hand in hand.
Think this one needs to be black and painted Mat. MAKE THE V8 GREAT AGAIN.... definitely can imagine this with some really nice wheels on. Hoodie turned up so thanks for that! Bentlaaaaay!
Loving this build so far! Can’t wait to see the wheels and colour you choose!
Also when’s the jet tags getting restocked 👀
Your so very calm even when things go wrong or parts are wrong. Are you like that off camera too? I know for a fact I wouldn't be that chill 😂
I think you should get the super charger kit for this once it’s all up and running, loving the build keep up the quality vids look forward to the next one
Love the video and thank you for giving us some insight on how the conversion process is! Going to convert my C63 soon!
Colour?......How about Matt or Satin RED. Would look awesome imo!
You've done a good job on that rear bumper, looking good Mat, well done.
Got to be one of the best sounding cars ever made 😍 cracking job your doing here matt!
LOOL dudes never heard a Ferrari or Lambos sound before
C63 sounds so over hyped by hoodrats
Really can't wait to see the end results, the c63 is starting to take shape🔥
Omg bro you are making me miss my C63 now I wish I never sold it now. But I had to sell it to start my car flipping properly…but Iv bought a E46 M3 now so il be working harder to get one again. As always bro love the great content keeps me motivated
Look at Brabus Bullit for reference, they used to make one with same body kit as well
Even though this build is taking ages i cannot wait to see the end of it, its going to look amazing, keep the videos coming.
Big respect Mat everything you turn your hand to works out spot on. The C63 is coming on leaps and bounds and is looking the dogs 🥜
Thanks man!!
That unit with the positive connection has a bunch of 'pre fuses'. If these go they don't always show on the code reader. If one of them go it disables the car.
Few bolts to undo the unit but the cables attached to it are cable tied down so cut the cable tie and it will lift out
I'm not a Mercedes fan but I'm really excited to see this project finished. Keep up the good work mate 👍.
Think it’s coming along really well. Can’t wait to see how aggressive that Black Series kit will look once complete on a sedan.
This is an epic build..the wide arch kit will really set this car off. You will need monstrous wheels now to fill those arches. Some Vossen wheels or style wouldn't go a miss. Looking forward to the next segment, so please hurry 🙂
Bro that C63 actually looks 🔥 with the kit. Can't wait to see the finished car 👍
Calvins car diary will love this 👌🏻
This channel rocks I am so glad I found it on You Tube
So original Make the V8 great again
I love that great stuff also so original taking our favourite cars and giving them a new flavour
Thanks Mat
Such a sick build already, this would look mint in yellow with the black series spoiler 🔥
Mate, what’s the secret to properly/ honesty insure this kind of modified car?
You have a lot of very positive energy, love it👍🏻👊🏻
Bro, you mastered your art.. 💯💯 impressed
The kit fitting very well 👌 Matt black paint please 🙏🏿
This wide c63 4 door looks amazing 👏
This build is coming along amazing !!!!
I’m not usually a fan of aesthetic mods at all and generally prefer cars oem but this looks absolutely sick already!
Car has come so far so quickly 👏
How smart is that with the parking sensors! The things I've learned from your videos are insane man!
This car will need wrapping for life with the body work
Love the vid. Great build too. Mat when cuttring into or drilling hole into fibre glass you need a mask - all that dust will fuck your lungs up big time long term. Its glass fibres and the tiny particles get breathed in and stay in your lungs....
I am 4:26 in and think to myself, that Mat you are a don for massively changing the exterior of each car. From the M2 inspired 1 series to the AMG
Starting to come together now great work !
Matt,
Word of advice try a metallic sparkly indigo on the c63 “black series”
it’ll look nice 👍
Matt u killed it love this build
I love the black series idea keep up the good work
What is “electrical trunky”?? Like some sort of conduit? I wish you have shown what it actually is. The flares didn’t come with any flat surface to mount them?
Dean on Saving Salvage is about to start an engine rebuild on a C63 so its going to be good to compare both rebuilds.
Nice work on the back arches Mat.👍
Mat, body kit and bumpers look (SICK) 👌 🚘
You are my biggest inspiration. Thanks Mat.
Can i just add matt, absolutely licking it on the tuneage!!! #1:31. Awesome, In the background while your talking and awesome just the music to time lapse. 💪🏻💪🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻This is song is ace!!
My CLK suffers from the same brake sensor problem. Great content as always Mat
Thanks mate!
Been smashing through your videos in teh last week - only just found the channel - great content.. already planning my first DIY mod on my truck...
Never thought I'd be so invested in a build 😅 this is shaping up to be some of your finest work sir 💪
This is gonna be an absolute monster of a car when it's finished. My favourite build yet
It's all coming together now👌 them arches are going to take some monster wide wheels 👍 , awesome work 👌
The C63 AMG is one of the few cars that looks like it’s doing 100 m.p.h. just standing still. Looking forward to the finished car!
Mat. Brilliant video. Got my new c43 amg arriving next month. Maybe some mods you never know.
the electric trunking part was genius
Loving this build buddy. Ur doing a great job with the bonding and bodylit looks awesome..... Only thing I'd say needs to change is a bit bigger spoiler. That one just looks too small, maybe a ducktail sort of thing!!!! Keep up the good grind though dude!!!!!
Great job Matt, BTW happy to pick up the oval tips from you, I would be grateful if I can buy them from you, as these are the ones I need to replace my Topgear square ones...
This needs to be the black series yellow that would look sick 👌
I think this car deserves a respray, mate! Awesome progress so far.
This is gonna look mental when it’s done, do a full forged carbon wrap 😎
That body kit looks sick Matt.
Nice job son.
Best build yet in my opinion AMG 🙌🏻
Can't wait to see what wheels fill those mahoosive arches.
Absolute stunning machine would love to see it completed in a Matt black finish best rebuild yet 👌
Mat you did a great job so far 👏 👍
