One day bro. Why not... I own a 2013 328i and I am intent on doing as much of the work on it that I possibly can. Its not unreasonable to dream that one day Ill have the money but more importantly the technical skills and friends to pull off amazing projects like this one.
I know you usually don’t work on Hondas or Toyotas but a Honda s2000 build or a Toyota Supra build or old JDM cars would give a nostalgic vibe… cheers to all you do bruv
I'll go with the Fords. Especially the Cosworth, I can even work with the Supra, but a Honda S2000? Unless you put an obscene amount of money into it, You'll never get it even to the point of taking on my Opel Astra... YES! I drive an Astra. You British guys would probably rather associate that with Vauxhall, But no. Mine is an Opel. The least talked about German brand. Yet. I am still waiting for the Golf G.T.I that can take me. Oh, and did I mention she's 24 years old? Your Golf doesn't need to be, though. She eats 2023 G.T.I's for breakfast. In fact. There's still some G.T.I stuck in her teeth from the last race. And I will admit. Had that car a driver that knew what he was doing, he could have murdered me. Sometimes having a fast car is not all it takes.
@@riaankruger9572 uhh buddy ol pal, enough with the essays. Sometimes driving isn’t all about speed, but nostalgia and aesthetic of a good looking car…
I was a collision tech for 26 years, have now moved on to a light rail collision center. After watching your video I can confirm that you are one of the most detailed shows that really breaks it down in depth on how it really is to bring these cars back to life. I was a car-liner certified frame tech and I absolutely approve of all your repairs! Congratulations!🎉
Mr. Mat Armstrong you have accomplished to build a great team. Congratulations. You have room for a third channel all the ground work and behind the scenes. Hard work pays off
I've seen the vast majority of your builds and this is by far my favorite. The level of achievement with this one is outstanding. Keep up the good work.
Is so hearthwarming seeing your amazing Dad with his Ferrari, he love his car. Mat, you are so blessed to have a Dad like him, i wish i had one like yours ❤️
I like when you put your personal touch on your builds. I understand the concept. It's your car, do what ever you want with it, you want to stand out against what comes from the factory. In my opinion, that's what real cars guys do. Car snobs can go kick rocks. Keep rockn to your music. 👍
Guys, I've watched a few of your videos to include the Mansory Rolls, and I'm enjoying the videos more and more. I especially love the interactions with your dad. I wish you and your team continued success and I also wish you and your dad many more days of fun and happiness.
You do wonderful craftsmanship and it’s great to see you working with your Dad and it’s only one minor criticism and most people don’t bother but from a retired aerospace welder you really need to back your welds with argon to prevent oxidisation of the back of the welds 👍
It was the full rebuilds that got me to the channel took two weeks catching up on everything thats been posted - now I am hooked and wait impatiently for the posts. I like to leave the full vids on in the background now for when I'm working in my man cave!
A silent Filipino follower here bro Matt! I wish I could have one of these lit sports car in the future. You're such an inspiration to the Youth and a great son to your dad! Hope you would visit Philippines soon. God bless you and your team. Cheers!
In America we call them interior "door panels" rather then "cards". Awesome job. This is what I call living the dream and putting it on video for all to enjoy and learn.. Thumbs up all the way.
Selalu dengan video panjang dan tidak pernah membosankan,, menonton tanpa skip2, menonton tanpa rasa bosan dan menariknya lagi bagaimana caranya membuat video dengan durasi ber jam jam tanpa membuat penonton boring,, bagaimana caranya???!! Mind blowing
Honestly man if the car means a lot to you, isn’t crippling you financially and you enjoy it then keep it, the journey you have been on to get the car is truly one of a kind so I’d say keep it 👍👍
Amazing how much you love your work, & it shows in the end product!! A+ I am currently trying to get a Mini cooper/ BMW road worthy for a friend who is an orphan who is taking lessons. No money to do anything yet but you inspired me soo much, I will make it happen!! thank you! AMAZING skills, transformation & wonderful happy people.
Matt there’s nothing like seeing the end result when its complete seeing your dad still enjoying what he does temting me to get back to panel beating one thing I enjoyed 😅
Love the channel and the bmw builds . Had similar with my 330d basically did what you did and just removed damage and welded in new simple . I will never own an M3 or 5 but thank you for the great videos ✌️✌️
I absolutely love this guy! I actually find myself waiting for his videos to post! Americans men, well real American men don’t normally admit it! But this guy is awesome! Keep up the great videos!
Mr mat .. u need to make a set of 4 casters to move unmoveable cars alot easyer.. supermarket trolley wheels work great.. big up to u on all ur rapairs . Me n my boy followed u since the bmx days. Keep up the great videos u do !!
Woot... i love these.... ive seen all the seperate episodes but i really love watching it again in one massive movie i always seem to see something i missed before... thx... from Australia 🇦🇺
Come on Matt! This is old! Your channel is going downhill with the bigger more expensive builds! Go back to more affordable builds where you can put out new content.
Hats off to u guys !! O my at the connectors and sensors and hoses on these newer cars it’s overwhelming and if u forget to connect one thing it all has to come back apart!! Really ppl don’t think about how difficult this all is !!! Bravo bravo bravo
I've been following adro for a while and seeing you use it for this m3 it's just a bliss, their kits are awesome and together with the yellow lights it's perfect match ❤
I have no interest in any modern cars at all but I do have a huge amount of admiration for individuals such as Mat, his dad and the team around him for taking on these challenges. It seems that as he progress onto each and every new project that he and they undertake, their knowledge grows and well as their skill set. Very entertaining video feeds Mat. I look forward to seeing more....
I want to say that the job on this one was eggcellent. However I wanted to give you a tip on the 1/4 panel install. Insurance companies require a 3 inch piece of metal to bridge where the jamb and roof line meet to support the unusual marrying of the outer metal. You spray the piece that goes underneath with weld through primer then weld it in. I hope this helps you.
Man, the amount of effort you put into this rebuild is awesome! It’s like watching a masterpiece unfold. 🚗💨 Plus, who knew a BMW could get so much love after a crash? It feels like a comeback story. Can't wait to see what you tackle next! 🔧💪
I love seeing you working with your Dad. The relationship between Father and Son is so special and strong. Take as many steps to spend time with him you’ll be grateful later. Sorry just lost mine not to long ago and your dad reminds me of mine. Love your vids keep up the great work
You don’t have any idea how motivating clips are you doing. I wish in one day I will can earn from the most I like to do . Thanks for your motivation and congratulations for your family which is next you and helping you out with your crazy passion. Thanks ! And big respect from Romania 🇷🇴 ❤
As a non-car guy, I love these vids! As an I.T nerd, the software & electronics side is very interesting. I assume the electric parts have some sort of "asset tag/ID" assigned to them? Possibly communicated via a (3-5v?) data-line ? Via can-bus? I assume this "tag/ID" has to match a "master parts list" that the car (ECU?) checks when you try start it / unlock it? If I'm correct, then there should be a database/config/text file somewhere. If this is not encrypted, you should in theory be able to access it, make multiple backups, and edit the live file, or replace it manually. Final result should be parts that are then "coded" to the car and should work. Again, I'm making big assumptions here, I'm not a car guy, just a nerd who sees interest in the digital side, of what is otherwise a physical object.
The results of the rebuild on the rear quarter section were more than impressive. It appears that Jack's involvement was quite key, but Matt, Tony, etal obviously did their parts as well. I would have thought the trunk gap which the team achieved was not possible, at least not without adding material to edges and/or seams. Says something about the consistency of fit BMW parts were stamped to. I would like to know whether you tracked the hours the team spent on the job, not including the videographer's time. Multiple that total number of hours by the typical shop rate in your favorite body shop, and you'll have the true investment of getting this vehicle back on the road. But it would not change the fact that you have shown it is possible if a DIYer is willing to put in the time. Not sure Mat, or Tony qualify as a 'typical DIYer' after the series of cars you have had your fingers into. Thanks for the entertainment throughout.
Such an awesome video watched the whole thing this is what I prefer over like 14min videos.. Such an epic build I love g80's..Such extremely Clean build with perfect power.. Much Respect from New Jersey Brother 🤘🏼..
Love these full builds ! My new obsession straight from NZ. Have definitely got be bCk to my fast car era lol 😂 I have definitely watch binge both channels Quality!
I absolutely have to give Mats dad a compliment , we love the way he enjoys his time with Mat and gives off good energy and happy
❤❤
Agree
i mean he drives a ferrari😂
they clearly have a great relationship
The way i watch Matt's videos with so much concentration, you'll think I can afford these cars
I thought i was the only 1 thinking about that 😢😂

You can I can to the toy wants kids drive yeah
The headlights worked because those modules you swapped were already coded. I’m so glad you figured it out I was yelling at the tv 🤣
I'm very surprised. How can a module change the lighting colour of the headlights 😮😮

brother im so glad you put out a 3hr video i hate the 20 minute vids lol but its good to pass a bit of time
some of us dont have time to consistently watch 3 hour videos lmao. 20min are THE BEST
Mr. Mat Armstrong you have accomplished to build a great team. Congratulations. You have room for a third channel all the ground work and behind the scenes. Hard work pays off
I've seen the vast majority of your builds and this is by far my favorite. The level of achievement with this one is outstanding. Keep up the good work.
I watched all these videos individually but still just spent a full afternoon watching the full video, never get bored with this bunch.
Your dad is hilarious man! His laugh and spirits are infectious.
No kidding man, I hope to be like that when I’m older
At 47 years old you regret me not making the decision to be a mechanic you're an inspiration and I love what you do
So Mat, you really gonna have us watch this like a movie for 3 hours bro.... am in lol
i learning about these cars knowing 1 day i will buy 1.
Is so hearthwarming seeing your amazing Dad with his Ferrari, he love his car. Mat, you are so blessed to have a Dad like him, i wish i had one like yours ❤️
Another banger from the best TH-cam mechanic
One of the best car rebuilds I've ever seen, great fun to watch and very satisfying! well done :)
Mat brings people into car culture and breaks stereotypes
I like when you put your personal touch on your builds. I understand the concept. It's your car, do what ever you want with it, you want to stand out against what comes from the factory. In my opinion, that's what real cars guys do. Car snobs can go kick rocks. Keep rockn to your music. 👍
i watched the whole video all in one sitting and didn’t even get slightly bored
I watch an hour then fall asleep and watching as soon as. I wake up now
Guys, I've watched a few of your videos to include the Mansory Rolls, and I'm enjoying the videos more and more. I especially love the interactions with your dad. I wish you and your team continued success and I also wish you and your dad many more days of fun and happiness.
Tavarish is the nicest dude. Love when he shows up in these videos.
You do wonderful craftsmanship and it’s great to see you working with your Dad and it’s only one minor criticism and most people don’t bother but from a retired aerospace welder you really need to back your welds with argon to prevent oxidisation of the back of the welds 👍
buy a crashed Bugatti
Crash one first 😂
😂
what colour brokie
I have a feeling he may already have one, but is currently sourcing parts before he starts on it
Not a chance that a bugatti survives a crash not at the speeds they can go
Matt seems like the person not to fix the collapsing bridge before he walks on it but fixes it while he on it haha always fun to watch 😂
53:53 I love how you're a younger version of your dad, and when you make a joke that he would make, he laughs hahahaha it's precious, to be honest.
What a small world. I love Jacks channel and too see you guys working together is mad. Jack is a total gun with this stuff. Amazing
Here we go again
that front bumper is batman savage , awesome , what a none stop action packed 3 and half hours , amazing vid
Wow niceee. I would def listen to the song “Dupe - CTM” in that car 😅😅
The workmanship and skill is just incredible
Love the idea that Matt is unashamedly reposting for views and TH-cam money, Dude is smart he’s got an Buisness to run😊
Yes but also so so new viewers can watch everything in one video. They’re very popular videos of his.
@wd7525 this is exactly how I come across mat armstrong. It was the m5 comp full build to be exact
not really a repost if its multiple videos edited together
It was the full rebuilds that got me to the channel took two weeks catching up on everything thats been posted - now I am hooked and wait impatiently for the posts. I like to leave the full vids on in the background now for when I'm working in my man cave!
I like watching the full ones tbf. Even the ones I've seen. Always spot new things I've missed
Love watching you on your channel. Especially with your father such nice relationship 😊😊
Best TH-cam mechanic with another banger. Keep up the good work

The guy who owns the car is now selling it on autotrader for 94k
You are far more than a mechanic!! You have a master mind 😮
Love this build 🤟
Amazing how much you love your work, & it shows in the end product!! A+ I am currently trying to get a Mini cooper/ BMW road worthy for a friend who is an orphan who is taking lessons. No money to do anything yet but you inspired me soo much, I will make it happen!! thank you! AMAZING skills, transformation & wonderful happy people.
My urge to watch this guys videos is unhealthy
Great work, it’s amazing that you aren’t afraid to tackle any project. You should wear a respirator when you’re spraying paint, though.
love the vids they teach me so much
Omg I was hanging onto the couch watching how the m3 bounced 😅what an incredible trip to make with your friends and your dad!! Well done boys
Matt there’s nothing like seeing the end result when its complete seeing your dad still enjoying what he does temting me to get back to panel beating one thing I enjoyed 😅

It's all episode's in a 3 hour binge... an I'm new to the channel... love em
'its a competition' maxx would be proud

Thanks for the great videos you make. You are so positieve and clear in your content. 😊
why are we just getting repeats ????
Because it’s a second channel meant for full long video builds. So all the episodes from the main channel in one video.
"Congrats, Mat! Your hard work and passion make every video a hit. Keep up the amazing work!"
Come on Matt! This is old! Your channel is going downhill with the bigger more expensive builds! Go back to more affordable builds where you can put out new content.

normally I skip through vids but this I watched this from start to finish absolutely amazing work mat
Much appreciated!
Thanks guys. What I enjoy about watching you all is your very different laughs 😂
They absolutely crease me.
Good build
I'm officially asking Mat to start a mechanic school because I've learned so many tricks on this channel. It makes me want to rebuild something lol
Love this transformation! Good choice in the black arm rest!
