I bought a wrecked vw golf r mk7.5 and now its time to get my hands dirty. All airbags have deployed, the front end has had a smash and theres pretty bad damaged to the radiator and bonnet, but has it bent the frame? and is the Engine still okay? I begin to find out the further i dig into it.

That wheel had a square space
I don't see how anyone can hate on what Mats done, for someone who's still learning he's doing amazing. Good work mate 👍🏻
True, he is already better than most of the so called "Pro's" he actually cares, and has a passion for his work.
👌
It’s called jealousy
He’s a gas bit of craic
So true! Big ups 👏🏼
Should get a cheap £1000-£1500 car that everyone is able to buy and it would be cool to see what you can do to it just to show others what’s possible with a small budget
Check out his earlier videos. he was working on a 180d bmw
@@Weefykins yeah I’ve seen that mate, thought it was brilliant that’s why I said we need something similar, just think his talent and work is fucking phenomenal, the man doesn’t even give up 😂
An mx5 would be amazing 👌 still love his videos though, but I do agree his old stuff was more relatable and interesting with the cheap cars
Great idea maybe doesn't need to be a crashed one maybe just get one that's had no tlc and do your magic maybe a track day car
@@majorityof1 worst car I ever owned 😬😬
This mans positivity is just the thing we all need during such a depressing time. Great video!
Def agree!
He really is good! So Boooo! To the negative people out there😡 get a life👍🏻
He probably makes enough money off each of these videos to be able to afford the same car again .......I’d be positive as well !
Edy Khan He had the same energy 3-4 years ago where he made no money...I don’t think money plays a role in this 😅
Nagata Nope, just using some common sense and stating some facts ;)
More people should be like mat, love the energy and seems like a top bloke
Top man everyone has to learn somehow you’re probably better than a lot of mechanics out there 😂👊🏽
He is amazing
Does anyone else find themselves checking the remaining time on Mats videos, hoping they don't end. Or is that just me
Was doing just that, hoping there's be enough time to see him start the engine.
I friggin love your content Matt
Thanks bro!!!
That's the reason why we're all here
Woah... What a coinkydink :D I just found your channel by searching for hair particle styling (the one with bezier curve) and now I see you here :D
Don’t listen to the haters Matt, you are so motivating to others who want to get on the spanner’s!! Keep up the great work👍👍👍👍
Don’t knock yourself Matt, you’re an inspiration of positivity that 000s could learn from and employers ( if ever needed) love to recruit. Keep up the great work.👏👏👏👍
I love the enthusiasm despite the setbacks. Matt’s attitude is inspiring & I’m hoping it can spur me on to finish my Audi S1 front end crashed rebuild which I bought a year ago & sat in the corner of my workshop after putting it in the “too hard for me” basket. Thanks Matt for getting me back on track to tackle it myself. Cheers!
Bro im not that even into cars but you make these videos addictive to watch. Smash it!
Lead, collar and KY Jelly? Perhaps they were doggers!
lol I finally got it🤣🤣🤣
loving the consistent uploads! can't wait to see the (re)build of this one
I honestly can’t get enough of your videos man. Keep up the great work. Love how far you’ve come in such a short space in time. I’d say it’s your positive attitude and ability to adapt that have got you this far. Just please keep going
Mat genuinely your positivity in everything you do regardless of the negative comments and set backs is an inspiration, even if you do a lot of kicking and swearing in between filming. I look forward to your videos each week and can't wait to see how the golf turns out and what new builds this year will bring. 🤞no more hidden damage!!
Surely that alloy is weaker..... I was always told not to do this due to weak fractured bits within the actual alloy. Nice vid as always. Personally the best vid yet as shows your plan to fix this. So glad the frames straight.....Keep them comming. Regards to Hannah and Kevin.👌👌👌👌😉
The best 18 minutes of the day 🥳
One of my favourite videos of yours so far Mat. Thank you for your honesty and perseverance when things don’t go to plan. To quote Tom Clancy “Life is about learning; when you stop learning, you die.” Good work Mat, keep it up! 👊
Hi Mat, I've only discovered your Chanel like a month or so ago and i'me seeing all your videos from beginning. It is impressive how you are not a mechanic but you are not afraid to try the things and in the end you always make it right. You are an inspiration for all guys that love cars. I'm really starting to think to fix my wife's first car. A fiat panda cafe. Thanks for your work and inspiring us to do it
That’s a brilliant job fixing that wheel
That bumper is a golf R-line bumper not a golf R bumper they’re different
There’s very little difference between the 2 tho
Yeah means it doesn’t have washers for the LED headlights
@@spookyreaper1702 more differences than u know, the air vents either side at the bottom is all blocked off by the R-line bumper is open on the R’s and also looks much better, also the R-like has a more honeycomb grill where the R’s is slatted and much more aggressive looking
You just keep on 'learning' buddy.
As long as you have your camera with you to bring us along too, then that's just fine.
Much respect to you Mat.
This video is sooo well put together! Your content is getting better day by day. And dont forget, that you are the only youtuber, who gets people to pay attention during adverts.
Amazing cars. Amazing stories. Amazing bloke.
Thank you!
Wow, thank you!
keep it up mate , love your content!!! 💯
A mat Armstrong video is literally my highlight of the day in this current climate
Great video Matt keep up the hard work you do. Love the positive energy you bring and what you said in this video about learning. Can't wait to see the finish VW Golf R project 👍
Love your channel. You're the most honest, down to earth, genuinely positive person on you tube. Well done mate.
I hate you for leaving us on a cliff hanger!!! haha can't wait for the next video already and will be watching out for that notification!
It looks like that off side front is off centre in the wheel arch, are you sure it was not pushed backwards in the crash.
Great video keep up the good work
Could be right I will look closer at it once I know the engine is okay
So hyped to see this project finished, mat's enthusiasm to get past problems and move forward is to envy.
Mat, I viewed some of your videos (in particular S5's ones) in the past but I just passed by. After some time, you appeared again in my home and I couldn't stop and subscribe: love your dedication and how you managed to have financial independance and I can only respect your journey. I'll stick around for a bit I guess ahahaha, keep up the great work, BIG RESPECT!
I think I'd be checking the front frame alignment again, all the way back to the bulkhead incase there's any creases in the frame rails 🤪
You just do your thing Mat. Forget the haters. 👍👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Love your videos Matt and your enthusiasm is awesome! Good for you doing it yourself...so much fun to work on your own cars!
Great channel, an actual inspiration as this time last year you were in a totally different place! I’ve thought about TH-cam as I can fix the cars etc, but absolutely no idea with editing, which is what makes these videos so watchable!
The bumper you fitted is from an R-line model not an actual R model.
nevertheless a great project!
I’m glad they didn’t make the model names too confusing. That could be annoying
You can't be doing that bad as the haters say, "not knowing what you're doing". Because you're making a living off of it and have multiple cars and houses. Good on you Mat. We're behind you all the way
My son and I rebuilt a US 2017 MK7 Gti with similar damage. Have fun with all the interior spring clips in the dash, grab handles/visors and roof airbags! Those were the most god awful part in our build. May I suggest you buy the $20 removal tool for the clips so you don’t hate yourself after breaking a $120 visor and at least one $50 handle! Great project and channel keep up the good work!
Mat you really look like you are enjoying this build...your energy and enthusiasm is so needed in these times 👍🏻👏🏻
Take no notice of what people say , your doing good , don’t stop
can’t wait to win this car when you’ve fixed it up
Even most mechanics were messing with their cars before they trained to do it. The trolls will moan but youve got more balls than me to take on something like this and you learn and save yourself a bundle whilst doing it. Its not all about the cars, us regulars are watching your life experiences and I admire you for havibg the guts and good humour to do it. Well done. 😎👍
Hey, I think you are doing a great job, probably better than some licensed car mechanics. The Nissan car dealership tried three attempts to fix my new Nissan with no luck, they had to get an engineer in who fixed it in an hour. I am a licensed Refrigeration Mechanic and Heating Technician and I would say easily half the people in my trade don't know what they are doing, scary when you are dealing with natural gas. I love cars and dirt bikes and do most of my own work, just like you. Great job and keep up the great videos. Toronto, Canada
Matt doing his own cliffhangers 😄
Maybe you could get some parts from DMO Deejay since he crashed his golf🤔
His front end was written off too werent it
Dude I was thinking exactly the same
This dude has the best attitude ever. Haters are not any happier talking shit about this man. How can you not smile watching this chap
I just was involved in an accident about two days ago and lost my Audi TT. I got mine because Mat inspired me. I loved that car so much. I thought i should share.
Drinking game. Take a shot every time you literally hear literally!
Or "Fingers crossed" 😜
"Let's do this!"
But um... 😁
Litch-ee
I am died
Turn the other bonnet into art and mount it on the wall. Would look sick.
Yeah glue the kinky gear and lube to it
Send it back to China !
So glad you are painting this one Matt. Love your builds but mix them up a bit, can’t wrap all of them. Even if you wrap it after the future owner will appreciate more with panels same colour.
Wow crazy how much difference a good going over with the vacuum can do! Glad to see it starting to come together
Should check out autoshine cars detailer
“How will you ever learn?” Too right Mat, we’ve all started at the bottom and now look
AWESOME! Glad to see that everything on the front pretty well lines up! Can't wait to see what this turns into once it all gets assembled.
Great progress Mat. You're making it look so easy mate. Looking forward to the 'pimp my ride' stage!
It's weird that squarespace sponsor and those alloys kinda have the squarespace logo on them... or am i tripping?
When can I buy a ticket 🤣 I’m determined to win one of his cars !
Any chance you can upload 5 hour vids Matt - it'll help me get through more than just 20 minutes of my day!! Absolutely loving the content mate, the only channel I subscribe to that I genuinely look forward to every upload.
This channel is brilliant! It has given me the confidence to try and tackle the bigger jobs on my own Cars. 👏👍
You need car cleaning guru (TH-cam) he knows his stuff!!!
I want to be like this guy
He is the best youtuber in the world
You are an absolute joy to watch,love the content,I can't wait to see how this golf progresses
I don't know what shocked me more in this video - the fact that someone could repair that alloy, or the fact that you aren't a mechanic! Your ability with a car is incredible!
I reckon the lad who ran out of talent is watching this from his cell thinking "so that's where my king skins went" 😂
I bet he’s also wishing he’d taken that lube in with him
@@DrifterJo2015 😂😂
Black latex gloves, a black leather dog collar, and KY Jelly. Uhm!!! Let me think!!!
Love your videos Matt. Love your honesty about learning as you go along. Keep 'em coming!
Started watching your channel today! Going to bing watch the whole gti series now! Loved the content mate! Keep going! 👍
If anyone was going to come forward and tell you about when they crashed the golf, you can guarantee they won't now after you showed the world their kinky side 🤣🤣🤣
mate the people at alloyfix aren't human beings, how is that possible?
😂😂😂
WOW, well done👍, this guy is genuine and a good step by step explanations.
I really love that you fix so much and not trow everything away
Man be modding sticky vickys whip and that 😂😂
😂😂😂😅😅
🔥🔥🔥
I’m looking on buying a mk7-7.5 this year so I’m loving this content and looking forward to your future vids for the R!!!!
Your doing a bang on job Matt and love watching your content definitely helping us through lockdown pal
Stop trying pattern parts. Body panels need to be OEM, ideally from breakers yard or from manufacturer. There is a reason they are more expensive. Difference between a bodge and doing it right.
I wouldn’t have gone inside that car without a full hazmat suit......
Went fishing today and caught bugger all lol. Come home and watched this, feeling positive now. You're going a great job mat
Best episode so far! Loved watching the wheel get fixed. Would you wrap the golf bright yellow or bright green?
Do yourself a favour and get in touch with „everyday detailing“ here on youtube. He will get your Golf R in perfect shape - he‘s a great guy and a specialist in these kinds of detailing tasks.
Blue slims in the car, that confirms the owner was a gay.
Hhahahahhaha
You not being experienced with this stuff and still doing it is the reason I subbed because I can relate more.
Alloy fix killed that was absolutely amazing. Your videos are great Matt can't not click one as soon as I get the notification regardless of what I'm doing! Best vibes of any UK car TH-camr.
Just discovered you Mat. So likable. Love your videos. Doing a binge of each car. Happy days
So who else was pause start pause start @ 17:38 to see the lights go out ready for engine start lol Matt back to his brilliant DIY...every pro started as a beginner!
Just found this channel by chance, like my cars. After 1st watch I got hooked. Getting me through this covid-19 shit. For saying Mat's self taught hes doing a great job......Fairplay
Dave from Dent Craft here , Matt your doing a great job and yet another brilliant video , keep up the passion mate , we need all the positivity at the moment!! We are looking forward to getting your Golf into our workshop 👍
Good job Mat you’re talented and what you doing it looks like is representing you. I keep watching your projects👍
Your channel, your rules. You know we support your efforts. You are living out dream. Go man Go!

Definitely best channel on hear I started buying fixing and selling cars after finding this gem of a channel like you Mat
learning as I go along not up to golf r standards yet but plenty of Mk4 golfs lol
Matts videos have improved 100000% since the beginning.
Great camera presence, great editing, and great content!
the energy and motivation from this guy is unreal gr8 vid
This lad deserves some credit, good effort mate and love watching your channel 👍🏻
Love your uploads! I do the same on my car tbh and at ever turn the husband thinks I'm bonkers at the end of the day it's what keeps you going and something to concentrate on especially just now! Keep up the good work x
I think what you achieve wifh the cars and your knowledge and patience is amazing. Keep doing it ans more..
I enjoy these longer vids mate. Always great energi and great content you have
Screw everyone who saying u don't know what u doing... your content is educational, informative and that's what makes it interesting ... keep up the good work buddy🙏🇿🇦
Your attitude and approach to these problems is inspiring Mat and your video editing is awesome too. What video editing software do you use? I'm definitely gonna tinker with cars more than I do already now!
