Alot of negative comments here 😂Just remember... In a real life situation returning the car seems the best thing to do. But as creating content is my full time job it would make a much better story and content to rebuild this thing. The frame damage although unexpected is very minor compared to alot of projects seen on TH-cam. I love to push myself and move on further with bigger builds. All safety aspects and frame damage will be done by professionals to ensure the car is safe. The rest will be left to me! Enjoy the content guys dont worry too much! you didnt buy it 😂
Good luck with it mat, as long as the frame is straightened professionally then I dont see an issue with it. Loved the bit when you said if it's not your day then make it your day, brilliant attitude to have and look forward to seeing the next video
This guy is one of the best creators on TH-cam. I won't lie, I have been following you since your Bentley build. Since then, every video of yours, I have watched it. Honestly watched it. Now you getting this, I am so happy and proud of you. Keep shining mate.
@Ethan Clark yes, but it’s still hard to find the motivation to get things done, especially with the shitty situations he’s been presented with. But yes, also looking forward to this build :)
Mat.. you're a breath of fresh air.. Listening to the problems with that C63 and still remain so upbeat about it all.. just puts a smile on my face.. Will continue to stay tune.. and hope you get the car on the road for your other half..
A lot of those copart cars look like stolen insurance write offs, used as getaway cars, unfortunately the damage goes deep on those cars, like my sons stolen golf r
Just a heads up; when Copart lists a car as an "Enhanced Vehicle", it means that it has already had an attempted repair on it, and will be "dressed up" to look better than it is
That’s what makes this channel! Matts positivity and the ability to just get it done. This content will make this channel! Just enjoy the fix and show some love!
@@MrTwister86660 head bolts snapping and top end problems were problems with early m156 engines, they ironed out most of the problems by 2014. It should be a reliable car once its sorted out.
I have a 2014 Peugeot 208 actually it’s my first car 😅 but I bought it also sight unseen with a lot more damage but I let a good mechanic I know do it for 2500€ without paint was 1000€ but I drive it daily and love it very much I also having plans to go on a road trip with it so don’t scare you away with the damage it’s not that very much
Fair play for posting Mat. Others might not upload, hide, ignore or try to give back etc. Your openness is who you are and don't change. Good luck with this project.
A scary project and fair play to you for giving it a go. Your ambition to get it back on the road is why we are all here, remember all those people leaving negative comments will be watching with intent to see you fail. Prove them wrong Mat!!! Looking forward to seeing this beast in the road
More peace of mind fixing it yourself you know its done properly than letting someone or somewhere else do it, someone already tried dressing that car up to make it look better too many cowboys out there
PMA. Your videos are so addictive. Sat up till 3am watching them. Made me feel confident and motivated in getting my converted transit LWB Hightop sorted once and for all.
Dude, if you can rebuild this bent patchwork C63 you will go down in Automotive YoutTube history as an absolute ledgend ! Best of luck I will be looking forward to watching every week to see your progress. Your channel is by far the most addictive and inspiring one out there atm
This is a massive project Mat and no better man to take it on...this is going to be so interesting to watch as you progress..bodywork of this nature is so specific and I will be so interested to see how the process of realignment actually works. Keep them rolling out and make sure Hannah helps too 😊 it is going to be her car after all 😄
Mate, feel so bad for you. Hate when people try and rip other people off but good on you mate for going ahead with the build. Looking forward to this one, gona be epic! Keep at it and don’t listen to the haters. Your channel is the best on you tube....... peace out!
Go for it Mat mate! Too many negative comments to worry about. Hannah will love it more after you have turned into her dream motor. Good on ya lad, love watching your content and your positivity is sorely needed. The C63 is a helluva motor and I am looking forward to seeing how it turns out.
This is going to be great content Matt and that is the reason we are all here. For you and Hanna and the genuine, real world style that you bring, not fake, not over produced, just great content from a real person in a real world, even for Aussies.
Respect to you for being honest. You seem to know what you are doing and yet even you got stung!!! A good learning lesson for anyone who thinks it's easy to do what you do.
I bought a 18 Q5 at copart and the exact same thing happened. If you copy and past the VIN in to google you have to look and search, but you will find THE OG pictures. This happens all the time. This is what gives rebuilt cars a bad name. Glad to see your staying positive.
hell yeah man i love your optimism! cant believe those buggers. I did buy a 2014 tl for $5400.00 Canadian with lots of hail damage. Looking forward to rebuild that as well. Its all about the journey and experience, money comes after!
Can’t wait for this. I had a 120d and watched your whole series on that and now I’ve just brought a c250cdi amg so will be watching all of these for sure!!!
So much positivity, enthusiasm, optimism. It is two years later now and I'm wondering how you got on. Shall now take a look at your later videos to see with my toes crossed for you. Belated good luck and best wishes.
Mat Just ignore all the negativity mate!!! This is perfectly fixable. It will take long and will not be easy but that does not seem to scare you which is great! Can not wait to see this thing get stripped apart. Great stuff for the channel!
Ignore the hate Matt. The harder road to travel is the one that bears the most rewards at the end of it. Too many people take the easy route and complain when they don't win. Do your thing, work out the problems and get some content and followers. I tuned in for the S5 and stayed and have watched every video since and I'll join you on this journey too. Also, you aren't the only one to be done over this way. Making it right and sticking with it gives others in a similar situation the hope that they too can get through it and have a sorted car at the end. Growth comes at the edge of our comfort zones, this project will be good personal growth (not just a panel replace and wrap) AND entertaining for us tagging along so you have a big thumbs up from me.
I enjoy these videos of yours Mat, you're so positive about everything! Love the editing too, the timelapses, the cuts and all the rest- would you mind me asking are you doing the video editing yourself or are you outsourcing it? In any case, I really respect what you're doing. Is that right that you are not car technician yourself? You're only learning by taking the subsequent cars apart and then rebuilding them again?
I was going to say there's a lot of people in UK who cam do it but then realised it will probably be cheaper for him to send it to Lithuania get it fixed and return it back and still save money.
Any video with Hanna in gets my attention ! So looking forward to this build will be epic once it is done, great winter project, no negatively positive vibes from me all the way
Man I love the positive attitude. The car books around 35k (US Dollars) and only paying half that seems like good deal only if 10k or less is put back in to fix and is safe. Any time I see a vehicle at auction that has the keys and in the highlights it doesn't say runs and drives or engine starts or an X on hood to indicate hood is stuck closed usually there's an issue and somebody is being fraudulent. It is always best to run the vin and check to see if its been in auction before to catch things like this if checking in person in not an option. Its always nice to have that money back, but its also nice having that gratification helping others learn from your experience so they know what to look for and knowing you fixed something that not a lot of people believe that you can or even should do. Good luck I hope all goes well.
subbed because i just got 2014 C63 with light front end damage and this popped up. wheel was bent back but it was just a control arm! I hope you go into detail on parts because mine just hit my friend’s body shop after 2 months of ebay part searching, but i’m sure i’m missing things on the front end. Can’t wait to see you finish this build and learn to do whatever i’m missing
Did your attitude is awesome, you’re always smiling and I love cars so I really enjoy watching these. C63 has always been a dream car of mine I can’t wait to see this done.
@@bruciekibbutz4698 yeah and the engine is probably no good in this one. Hoses missing belts missing if its just crash damage why are they missing. I know how much the cars are worth ive just paid 26k for one
Step 1: This car is a death trap so get your money back. Step 2: Don’t put your girlfriend in danger. Step 3: Buy your girlfriend a straight C63 AMG as you can afford it!
Well done for posting this, people should know it’s not all upsides with salvage cars, now and again you get burnt. For those who don't have a TH-cam channel: 1. Don’t buy 'C' cars at the auction unless you've been to see it 2. Don't buy anywhere else where seller describes as “easy repair” 3. Don’t convince yourself it’s as good as it looks, assume it’s worse and bid accordingly 4. And if it does all go wrong, re-enter it in the auction, it’s cheap and easy, you'll lose the least this way and you can just move on.
Mat, I've only watched one video from your channel a while back about BMWs and never watched any other. But TH-cam suggested this video and I'm glad it did, the positivity and energy you have dispite the headache that car probably gave made me subscribe to your channel. Keep going forward and have no regrets 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼😁
I'm from Birmingham, and even me and my family don't buy from here. 97% of the cars here have been ragged, not looked after and been through more owners than a corner worker.
i think you should get the car wrapped in a bright neon yellow just to show how speciel the build was in the end and how much time and effort you put onto it, Much love and support from here!
Its the fun part of buying salvage motors . Recently bought a focus off copart took delivery of it opened the bonnet and it had a 4x2 plank of wood straight through bumper and damaging the loom
@@kevinjbreslin4290 That's a bastard thing to say! Of course it will be safe once completed and before Hannah drives it. There's no reason why it should drive any differently as Mat does a proper job on these cars. He may not have the upfront experience and knowledge but that is what the internet is for, for diagrams, photographs and talking to other people. Mat would never put Hannah at risk of harm.
WOW! I been watching this car for months myself and was soo tempted to drop an offer. It’s a lovely spec. I’m actually surprised as they have some nice clean cars. Now we know why. It’s going to be a beauty when completed Matt. Give me a shout if your thinking of selling it after 😉
I don't want to add to the negativity, so I'm going to presume you are going to earn way more from this project, than it's going to cost. So all power to your elbow Matt any body who can make shed loads of money, doing something they love, and entertain people along the way gets my vote. Keep up the good work.
Never seen this channel, I was watching vTuned McLaren 720s rebuild when this popped up on my timeline. Immediately love your enthusiasm, subscribed to watch this C63 rebuild progress. Good luck !
You have amazing positivity and I’m constantly surprised on the way you attack problems head on! I’m excited to see what you do with this build, I know it will be awesome 💪🏼🤙🏼😎
I used to drive an S-Class as a Taxi, I used to do a few repairs myself, Beer income with a Champagne taste. I suspect this is also a modular design, where you can basically just buy new parts and refit them as needed. You are lucky to be doing this in the UK, in Germany you can't send or even fit airbags yourself unless you are a ``Meister´´ mechanic. Airbags are classed as explosives. A double garage where I live, big enough to do repairs is about the same as renting a flat, buying a garage is about the same as some houses in the UK, very frustrating. Great video channel! It is now 11,00am and the emergency warning sirens are going off!
Matt, my mate told me a story about how his mate bought a project c63, and it turns out that his mate is you! After watching this vid, the story matched 100%! I feel your pain and the sinking feeling when you discovered the true damage underneath. You also picked yourself up and turned it around much quicker than most people. It's true what they say, make it your day! The WM accent tells me you aren't a million miles away from me 😁
Been there and done that, never again nightmare to get hold of parts and danm expensive. It will make a nice TH-cam video but financially its not worth while.
Seen a few of your videos now but haven’t subscribed. After watching this I’m now going to. Refreshing to see a fix it attitude as opposed to throwing it away. Absolute dream car and glad that this ones not gunna end up stripped and scrapped✌🏼
This amount of positivity here has made me want to follow this build!!! I love these! I have a C350 coupe from 2012 myself, same colour and wheels as this, just not in black
I nearly bought this one off eBay myself. The seller wouldn’t budge on price, made out it was a sound car with minimal damage. Luckily I never got it, but good luck to you mate Love
Alot of negative comments here 😂Just remember... In a real life situation returning the car seems the best thing to do. But as creating content is my full time job it would make a much better story and content to rebuild this thing. The frame damage although unexpected is very minor compared to alot of projects seen on TH-cam. I love to push myself and move on further with bigger builds. All safety aspects and frame damage will be done by professionals to ensure the car is safe. The rest will be left to me! Enjoy the content guys dont worry too much! you didnt buy it 😂
This is what makes your channel so good, never phased by a mammoth task, keep it going.🎱
In that case I'll be watching so go for it. Ps I love my v8 merc. Plenty power and torque.
Sorry mat I didn’t mean to sound negative in my comment, I know you will fix it and well but just would be my cuppa t driving it after..
Good luck with it mat, as long as the frame is straightened professionally then I dont see an issue with it. Loved the bit when you said if it's not your day then make it your day, brilliant attitude to have and look forward to seeing the next video
Gonna make superb content, love how honest this channel is and willing to crack on with any challenge. Can’t wait to see the end result.
I have a coupe boot lid in black of a 2 door if you like it for free get to the build going👍🤙

Keep shining mate.
Mat literally got ripped off and is still positive. Give this man a TV show, his positivity is contagious!
@Ethan Clark yes, but it’s still hard to find the motivation to get things done, especially with the shitty situations he’s been presented with. But yes, also looking forward to this build :)
Gotta take the good out of a bad situation sometimes
100% so refreshing
Here here, far better than the likes of wheeler dealers, I don’t even watch terrestrial tv anymore, TH-cam is far better
Give him a TV show on what basis. Get real.
Long term project = long term fun, right Mat? 🚗🔧
😱
Absolutely! ❤️😝
@@MatArmstrongbmx almost thought you missed this comment!
You know you've made it when TH-cam comments on your video
never in my 12 years of watching youtube have i ever seen youtube comment on somebody’s video...well deserved.
Mat.. you're a breath of fresh air.. Listening to the problems with that C63 and still remain so upbeat about it all.. just puts a smile on my face.. Will continue to stay tune.. and hope you get the car on the road for your other half..
One like = one smack for the previous owner that flipped this car knowing it was ducked.
With your energy and enthusiasm you’ll turn it into a win. Already looking forward to the varying stages. Keep up the good work.
Facts...

Matt has big balls. That’s all I’m saying. A big project this is!
And Hannah has a hot arse. Match made in heaven!
Part it out and start again mate you could be in for a world of pain with this one
Apparently they’re prone to need engine rebuilds
Pain, money and financial loss.

Kudos for giving it a go but personally I wouldn't bother. It's a breaker.

No! Someones bought that to doctor up to sell on.
Never buy crash damaged cars unless its direct from the insurance company.

I’m also annoyed that someone’s mugged Matt off with this car with the hidden damage!

This is a massive project Mat and no better man to take it on...this is going to be so interesting to watch as you progress..bodywork of this nature is so specific and I will be so interested to see how the process of realignment actually works.

My first advice when buying a car is don’t buy from Birmingham
Can vouch for that
Very true although this one was from london
I'm from Birmingham, and even me and my family don't buy from here. 97% of the cars here have been ragged, not looked after and been through more owners than a corner worker.
I’m a brummie and even I agree with that!
I agree 100%
Hot water and a plunger should fix the bent frames😂
i think you should get the car wrapped in a bright neon yellow just to show how speciel the build was in the end and how much time and effort you put onto it, Much love and support from here!
Its the fun part of buying salvage motors .
Recently bought a focus off copart took delivery of it opened the bonnet and it had a 4x2 plank of wood straight through bumper and damaging the loom
I wouldn’t let my girlfriend/wife drive that after repair too much worry.

@@kevinjbreslin4290 That's a bastard thing to say! Of course it will be safe once completed and before Hannah drives it. There's no reason why it should drive any differently as Mat does a proper job on these cars. He may not have the upfront experience and knowledge but that is what the internet is for, for diagrams, photographs and talking to other people. Mat would never put Hannah at risk of harm.
I don’t think she will drive it , he will raffle it off
Honestly mate, I'd take that and drop it right back and cut my losses. That's too far gone and not safe even when fixed with that frame damage
When Matthew is finished with it this car will be more than safe !
@@Arounadabout he hasn't got it anymore 🤣

Whatever 🤷🏼♀️
I just bought the wife a Corsa. We watched this and asked why I'm a cheap duck and don't buy her stuff like this 😂
I hope what she bringing to the table is worth even a Corsa..
WOW! I been watching this car for months myself and was soo tempted to drop an offer. It’s a lovely spec.
I’m actually surprised as they have some nice clean cars. Now we know why.
It’s going to be a beauty when completed Matt.
Give me a shout if your thinking of selling it after 😉
I don't want to add to the negativity, so I'm going to presume you are going to earn way more from this project, than it's going to cost. So all power to your elbow Matt any body who can make shed loads of money, doing something they love, and entertain people along the way gets my vote. Keep up the good work.
6 years and 3 months I knew it c63
I'm so glad this was posted after No Nut November
😂
?
Just think of Hannah's face when its done.
Never seen this channel, I was watching vTuned McLaren 720s rebuild when this popped up on my timeline. Immediately love your enthusiasm, subscribed to watch this C63 rebuild progress. Good luck !
You have amazing positivity and I’m constantly surprised on the way you attack problems head on! I’m excited to see what you do with this build, I know it will be awesome 💪🏼🤙🏼😎
It’s gonna be a long winter for you my friend get it running first whilst there’s no bumper get belt and engine side sorted.
Damn even the Tyres would also worry me who puts cheap Tyres on a C63!
A lot of negative people everything's repairable

I used to drive an S-Class as a Taxi, I used to do a few repairs myself, Beer income with a Champagne taste.
I suspect this is also a modular design, where you can basically just buy new parts and refit them as needed.
You are lucky to be doing this in the UK, in Germany you can't send or even fit airbags yourself unless you are a ``Meister´´ mechanic.
Airbags are classed as explosives.
A double garage where I live, big enough to do repairs is about the same as renting a flat, buying a garage is about the same as some houses in the UK, very frustrating.
Great video channel!
It is now 11,00am and the emergency warning sirens are going off!
Matt, my mate told me a story about how his mate bought a project c63, and it turns out that his mate is you! After watching this vid, the story matched 100%! I feel your pain and the sinking feeling when you discovered the true damage underneath. You also picked yourself up and turned it around much quicker than most people. It's true what they say, make it your day! The WM accent tells me you aren't a million miles away from me 😁
Been there and done that, never again nightmare to get hold of parts and danm expensive. It will make a nice TH-cam video but financially its not worth while.
Has no one else noticed he said it’s a 6.3 litre 😭 come on Matt, with your knowledge of cars you should know it’s a 6.2 😂
You've been mugged right off as they say. I can almost hear them laughing from here. I'd have returned it out of principle.
Seen a few of your videos now but haven’t subscribed. After watching this I’m now going to. Refreshing to see a fix it attitude as opposed to throwing it away. Absolute dream car and glad that this ones not gunna end up stripped and scrapped✌🏼
I’m so looking forward to seeing (and hearing) this beast repaired. Keep up the great work mate!
anyone else paused at 4:57 ? 🙄 🤷🏼♂️
Yeah bro, mat is looking thick.
4:59
I enjoy your rebuild videos a lot but I wouldn’t go putting that back on the road! That’s a breaker for sure
This car was on sale for a long time on eBay.
This amount of positivity here has made me want to follow this build!!! I love these! I have a C350 coupe from 2012 myself, same colour and wheels as this, just not in black
I nearly bought this one off eBay myself. The seller wouldn’t budge on price, made out it was a sound car with minimal damage. Luckily I never got it, but good luck to you mate
Love
