The most genuine no bullshit youtuber out there. Can't imagine hanging out with this legend would be any different to what you see. Congratulations Matt on your success.
This channel basically started from Hannah crashing her Audi and now Mat is rebuilding her a Lamborghini Urus. This channel and the whole team are smashing it
I’m an older gent, but love watching what you do on your channel. I especially like the collaboration with your father, my father got me into cars and sadly he passed away too early. Keep up the great work however I do have one suggestion if I might. Please consider more use of PPE (hearing, eye and lung protection). When my father was younger he experienced a traumatic head injury while working under a vehicle. A very large wrench dropped directly on his head fracturing his skull and breaking the orbital bone around his eye. It was a long excruciating recovery. I’ve myself experienced an eye injury that nearly took my eye sight. You have many who follow your channel, please use it to promote safety in your work, there is nothing uncool about being safe.
Matt! Half of those rivets are bad just so you know. Reason being that the stem (the part in the middle) is broken off below the locking collar. In this case the structural capabilities of the rivet are compromised and now it’s not able to hold as well, rivets are easy to remove and replace so I would definitely recommend doing that
Hey Mat, quick guide for the death bolt unless you already removed it! - penetrating oil never hurts! - remove nut - find some 4mm-ish washers and tap them into the clamp slots - crank the guts out of the bolt head until it snaps clean off - get yourself a long M10 nut ~25 mm the least, the higher the grade the better, screw on the nut side - screw a long M10 thread stud in there, same applies, higher grade the better - put piece of pipe over it, ~1 inch or so diameter - add washers, a strong nut and start cranking to pull it out! - if you choose to apply !some! heat, try not exceeding 150° C to not alter the properties of the cast. Pulled my 2011 Audis bolts that way like a charm and very cheap!
that's how i did it on my 2011 audi as well. before i snapped of the bolt i could move it back and forth again and again to make it loose (with a lot of wd40) and then it was an easy job to get the bolt out from the other side using washers and nuts. and i didn't use heat at all.
I'll never forget the time I was doing arms on a 2013 A4, I loosened the bolt and the nut came right off and I was able to pull the bolt out by hand. Man what an insane feeling lol. I have a B5.5 4Motion Passat and I spent 4 hours on the one side bolt, Maine car with some rust lol.
Mat. Just want you to know that you and your entire family and friends that make these videos are very much greatly appreciated. Thank you for motivating me to work on my own project cars. Love from Canada!
Putting panel bond on the panels that don’t need it will change the way those part bend, snap off in a collision. Those self tapping screws are used so it can create a control breakage in an accident, rather than pole the passengers in the car.
how blessed you are to working so closely and happily with your dad...! I lost mine over 20 years ago...I would give my left leg to spend a day with him - doing anything today....mad respect to you...!!
Just a warning guys!! In my younger days I was a Car Panel Beater & Sprayer and I notice you don't ware a mask when grinding/rubbing down seam sealer etc. Watch your lungs as it eventually screwed mine up!! Anything with particles in the air is so poisonous!!
couldn’t agree more… they’re also going to lose their hearing sooner than later due to rarely wearing ear protection. love you guys, but sometimes you can’t lead the horse to the water….
I get the original comment giving mat an advice about using a mask for protection, but what I don't get is all the other comments making critics, shut up and enjoy what he is doing if you don't have anything positive to say guys
I've done body work for 20 + years and wanted to recommend that when doing seam sealer after getting it on and spread out I always take a rag with some thinner on it and lightly smooth it out. Just use panel wipe down thinner. Hope this helps.
Making the front structure stronger with panel bond might compromise its capacity to absorb impacts in case of a crash (I hope you guys never crash this car or at all) so that might be why it didn't have it before. The front structure acts like a pillow together with the engine in case of a crash. Anyway, love the content❤️
She's not 'getting involved' so much as doing a different role from the other roles she has done on and off camera. All these comments make it sound like the only work being done is riveting or other mechanical work. Noting that someone is holding a camera and maybe others are doing things that aren't filmed too - does everyone think they're not involved?
Mat, even though the Q7 measurements do line up it’s best to use the ones from the Q8 for the closest match. And whenever using Audi parts make sure it’s either for an SQ8 or SQ7 since they use the same engine
Love the content. 3.45 am is dedication. Well done. Dip a paintbrush in mineral turpentine, then "paint" over the sealer. It will give you the glossy smooth finish you require instead of brushed lines.
Mat love you to bits mate, appreciate all your help and have watched your vids, so proud of everything you've achieved, big shoutout to u, love to hannah, Tony, love him to bits and most of all Kevin your loopy dog! And camera matt, Liam and just everybody that's helped you over the last four years. Big difference from a restaurant car park repairing hannah's tt, to where you're at now, your units and such. Thanks for everything!
Love the channel Guys!!!! Just a quick word of warning, me being a building site H&S professional. If Hannah works with rotating power tools, please, please, can she tie her hair back/up. We don't want Hannah getting scalped. Thanks!
Just finished watching ur McLean gull video with my dad his 67year old retired engineer i dont see him much at all as his mostly in a retirement home when ever he does well be watching ur videos as hus so interested in each build and tge amazing workshop and how wise ur dad is truely inspired an i always fixed my car growing up with my dad you might not see this Mat but just want to say thanks for your vidoes bro they top class🔥
I'm getting into metal working for the first time (initially starting with some light motorcycle stuff) and my dad just bought a full sized car lift for our home shop, we are gonna start flipping cars, turning my hobbies and interests fueled by people like this channel into a profitable side hustle is my dream. Edit: im only 17, applying to colleges and im very very lucky to be in a situation in which i have access to the capital that my parents have and im so happy they can encourage me
Awesome to see Hannah involved! Along with matts dad, what a chanel! Been following since the driveway days and so glad you’ve come this far keep doing what you’re doing 💯
I’ve been saying since the last video that they’re referencing the wrong vehicle. Why are they stuck on the q7 for some reason. They need Q8/SQ8/ RSQ8 parts
The reaaon for the lack of panel bond on the chassis leg is because the crumple zone needs to have a specific strength for each structure in order to crumple correctly and provide the most safety. The original prototype design most likely did have panel bond there until the crash test data came back and showed it needed to be weaker in that area.
I came here to say exactly this! I’m no expert, but even I worked out that the lack of panel bond in those areas had to have something to do with the crumple zones. A major car company wouldn’t leave it panel bond-free unless it was for a specific reason.
Hey Mat! When you do a sealer job, use 646 Thinner, or degreaser (its used by paint shops). Spray it on the sealer, or put your brush into it. Thinner wont make any damage to the sealer, but it make easier for brush to glide on it. Trust me, done this 1000+ times
Ow and by the way. Theres a special procedure to install pneumatic struts, dont do it yourself and try to call someone who knows how to do it. Ive tried myself on my Q8 and i needed to order again, a new ones, because they are not cheap, trust me
Mat - I love watching your videos, you, your family and friends are so much fun to watch. Your dad's laughs are contagious, bring a smile to my face. Looking forward to the completed build.
Little tip Matt, when replacing chassis legs always offer up the subframe / front crossmember before permanently fixing the new parts to check for alignment. Great watch today 👌🤓
Tell you what Matt, watching how confident you are doing this , especially your new skill of spraying, is brilliant. I think it’s easier now you have your chief mechanic,Hannah , helping out. Good Dog boy😂😂
Flow drill screw (FDS) technique combines the friction drilling and thread forming processes into one single operation, and has been widely adopted in the automotive industry. Because of the remarkable single-sided joining capability and excellent dynamic/static mechanical performance, it has become one of the major fastening techniques for closed or semi-closed aluminium extrusions and thin-walled structures that cannot be connected with two-sided joining approaches like self-piercing riveting (SPR) and clinching.
Just FYI, those Flow Drill screws are designed to make their own holes. They heat the plate as they drill into it and tap their own threads. They're not quite the same as the off-the-shelf self-tappers from your local hardware. Look for videos titled "Semblex FDS" and "Semblex Flow Drilling Assembly".
@@MarkoVukovic0 yeah we learned about them in our VAG training. We haven't used them yet because we don't have the drill to do them with but self piercing rivets are just as strong with panel bond.
This is the second video I’ve watched of these guys building a Lamborghini. Although I’ll probably never own a Lamborghini myself, I’m thoroughly entertained watching the process and I’m genuinely happy for you!
Just an idea on why they might not apply panel bond to the up rights with the "funny screws" is the screws may be designed to shear in a crash and the whole upright is part of the front impact/crash structure? Panel bond will stop that absorbing an impact. Just an idea
True load paths would have been calculated but my hunch is it will make little difference it will still fold with little force. It’s a the chassis legs that are the strongest part of the chain.
Came to say the same thing, where it would just shear off in the impact now it will hold and will bend something else on the chassis that maybe shouldn't be bent.
This probably is the case, but I doubt it makes a lot of difference. Those bolts have quite serious strength on their own, and since the part is pretty big and has long leverage, it'll probably just bend up anyways. It's main job is to deliver forces to the chassis, and it'll do just that. Panel bond makes a very tight bond, but with the forces in play when a 2-ton SUV hits something, it'll give. Pure speculation, obviously, but I can't see it being an issue.
This has to be the coolest channel. Doing incredibly hard things and making it fun. Unreal. One thing Id love to see more is talking about how much everything costed. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Great video! May have been off camera, but looked like you didn't deburr the drilled holes prior to rivet installation. Takes that little bit longer but helps to prevent loosening fasteners and potential cracking
Those screws are usually applied by a FDS Robot. (Flow Drill Screw) Generally used because they can be applied from one side of the panel. Robots that apply Rivets use a self piercing rivet which uses a die to form the rivet so access to both sides of the panel is required. Been working in Body In White, BIW for a years as a software engineer.
Good you got Hannah involved. Girls are educated from an early age that boys do mechanical stuff. My wife was told by her dad ehen she was young that could do repairs, painting, everything. And got her helping him. Now I relax and let my lady get on with it 😁😁😁. Big thanks to her dad!!!!
Greetings from the US. I never thought I would find myself obsessed so much with something I know nothing about, Mat. You make compelling content and your team is amazing too. Thank you for what you are doing to make TH-cam more interesting. I've just subscribed and I'll be a regular!
Flow screws are “welded” in. There is no pilot holed drilled, a machine at high speed spins the screw until it creates enough heat that it basically melts the screw into the metal
Because the hole is threaded by the screw. What you did is stronger, manufacturers use flow screw because it is much quicker (no pilot hole drilling, high speed)
@@MatArmstrongbmx yes, because the mounting tech is fast/easy/cheap for robots in one go, not for pure strengh etc. That is why they are just scattered around, they do not mean that much individualy.
These screws are self extruding and thread forming. The material you would usually drill out for a pilot hole is instead extruded by the tip and then a thread is formed by the screw itself. The head shape is for quicker tool engagement
Hi Matt When panels are bonded together the main strength is in the bond. The rivets are to prevent peel. Bond is very strong in shear but not in peel. Imagine sticking two bits of tape together and trying to pull them apart, then peel them apart. On you're trying to break all the glue the other just the very front edge.
The rivets massively contribute to the structural strength. Each 1/4” blind rivet has a shear strength of over 150kg.f depending on type, it can be way higher. The panel bond is also very strong, they work in unison together. Great stuff though.
Mat, I live in Louisiana! Far far away from Leicester! I've been a petrol head all my life but after watching you and Freddie I have to start my career in automotive repair and documentary. Oh, also I'm 41, married with 4 kids. So let's see how it all goes! Lol
I'm an accountant and Mat (+Freddy and others) has helped to give me confidence to work on my own cars. Today, I spent three hours looking at automotive certification courses.
I like to see Hannah working on her own car. She does it well. (I worry a little about her hair being so close to power tools, though.......but hey you're adults, learn your lessons). I am full of admiration for you, for how much you've learned and how far you've come.
The car is coming along great! New subscriber here. You and your teams energy bro really shine on camera. Thank you for making this content. Finally some good wholesome videos to look at.❤
Man, watching you tackle this rebuild is just wild! I mean, a Lamborghini Urus for your girlfriend is next level! 😍 Love how you’re making it work without a manual, that creativity is something else. Can’t wait to see how this all turns out! 💪🚗
Absolutely love this channel I've watched it from the very first BMW he did in his driveway and looks where he is now. I've always been a petrol head and mechanically minded but I've learned so much more watching this channel. Great work guys
Matt some ideas! Two projects I’ll never do because they are expensive: 1. Flamborrari - Ferrari F360 with a Lamborghini Gallardo V10 engine and some lambo body mods. 2. Build a super car from parts only using eBay and Marketplace to source everything, shell then engine then interior… etc etc…
Just watching this has made me remember some of your early videos. You have turned into a real good mechanic and repair work. Keep it up bro; proud of you
Hi mat, with regards the bolt of death try snapping the bolt head off undo the nut put washers behind the nut and then tighten it should pull the bolt out done this on a4 and passat it works. Hope this helps Andrew
*Purchasing a stock may seem straightforward, but selecting the correct stock without a proven strategy can be exceedingly challenging. I've been working on expanding my $210K portfolio for a while, and my primary obstacle is the lack of clear entry and exit strategies. Any advice on this matter would be greatly appreciated*
*The strategies are quite rigorous for the regular- As a matter of fact, they are mostly successfully carried out by pros who have had a great deal of skillset/knowledge to pull such trades off*
Wow. I'm a bit perplexed seeing him been mentioned here also Didn’t know He has been good to so many people too this is wonderful, i'm in my fifth trade with him and it has been super.
Sorry to say but to install those drive shafts you’re going to need to release that suspension again, in dealer the whole powertrain comes down with the suspension. The top bolts (aka your death bolts) blow torch and an air gun always does the trick for me. The Urus ones aren’t as bad to get out like the other VAG models. You’re gonna need a battery btw, not cheap… now has a modified harness and a lead acid battery. Dealer price is about 4.5k inc labour. Yours will have the original Urus LiFePO battery which is not available from Lambo anymore.
Thanks so much, Mat for all the hours of entertainment on this channel. Huge respect for your work ethic, the partnership with your Dad and everything you have achieved. Well done, you!
The most genuine no bullshit youtuber out there. Can't imagine hanging out with this legend would be any different to what you see. Congratulations Matt on your success.
Tony using a reg plate as a straight edge 🤣🤣🤣 absolutely love it. The guy makes the channel.
I want to see an update of Tony and his life with the Ferrari.
Tony needs his own channel.

Hey Mat, quick guide for the death bolt unless you already removed it!
- penetrating oil never hurts!
- remove nut
- find some 4mm-ish washers and tap them into the clamp slots
- crank the guts out of the bolt head until it snaps clean off
- get yourself a long M10 nut ~25 mm the least, the higher the grade the better, screw on the nut side
- screw a long M10 thread stud in there, same applies, higher grade the better
- put piece of pipe over it, ~1 inch or so diameter
- add washers, a strong nut and start cranking to pull it out!
- if you choose to apply !some! heat, try not exceeding 150° C to not alter the properties of the cast.
Pulled my 2011 Audis bolts that way like a charm and very cheap!
that's how i did it on my 2011 audi as well. before i snapped of the bolt i could move it back and forth again and again to make it loose (with a lot of wd40) and then it was an easy job to get the bolt out from the other side using washers and nuts. and i didn't use heat at all.
This is how I've done it on my B8 Avant multiple times. Even used a connecting rod to hammer it out once I got the bolt about half way out lol
I'll never forget the time I was doing arms on a 2013 A4, I loosened the bolt and the nut came right off and I was able to pull the bolt out by hand. Man what an insane feeling lol.
I have a B5.5 4Motion Passat and I spent 4 hours on the one side bolt, Maine car with some rust lol.
Strange that there is no anti seize on the bolt from the factory 🤷

Pure speculation, obviously, but I can't see it being an issue.
@9:43 VW AG is actually: Volkswagen AktienGesellschaft, which means Volkswagen stock corporation. they are listed at the stock market. ❤@Mat
This has to be the coolest channel. Doing incredibly hard things and making it fun. Unreal. One thing Id love to see more is talking about how much everything costed. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Great video! May have been off camera, but looked like you didn't deburr the drilled holes prior to rivet installation. Takes that little bit longer but helps to prevent loosening fasteners and potential cracking
So great to see Hannah back on the channel
Get yourself some steel rulers mate, a bit easier and more accurate than a tape, a 150, 300 and a 600mm
Those screws are usually applied by a FDS Robot. (Flow Drill Screw)
Generally used because they can be applied from one side of the panel.
Robots that apply Rivets use a self piercing rivet which uses a die to form the rivet so access to both sides of the panel is required.
Been working in Body In White, BIW for a years as a software engineer.
Are you in Birmingham, Sunderland or Liverpool?
@@peterborrowman2041 I’ve worked in Halewood, Solihull and Castle Bromwich.
Is it ok to use standard rivets instead?
@@dario181 I was also gonna ask the same question
As someone else said..use steel rulers for accuracy. If using tape measures always use the same one as they can show different measurements.
Good you got Hannah involved. Girls are educated from an early age that boys do mechanical stuff. My wife was told by her dad ehen she was young that could do repairs, painting, everything. And got her helping him. Now I relax and let my lady get on with it 😁😁😁. Big thanks to her dad!!!!
Greetings from the US. I never thought I would find myself obsessed so much with something I know nothing about, Mat. You make compelling content and your team is amazing too. Thank you for what you are doing to make TH-cam more interesting. I've just subscribed and I'll be a regular!
Flow screws are “welded” in. There is no pilot holed drilled, a machine at high speed spins the screw until it creates enough heat that it basically melts the screw into the metal
But they come out easily with a screwdriver?
Because the hole is threaded by the screw. What you did is stronger, manufacturers use flow screw because it is much quicker (no pilot hole drilling, high speed)
interesting ty!
@@MatArmstrongbmx yes, because the mounting tech is fast/easy/cheap for robots in one go, not for pure strengh etc. That is why they are just scattered around, they do not mean that much individualy.
These screws are self extruding and thread forming. The material you would usually drill out for a pilot hole is instead extruded by the tip and then a thread is formed by the screw itself. The head shape is for quicker tool engagement
Always a great day when you see a new MA upload.
Absolutely agree
I love that Mat is being such a good son and boyfriend, his parents and girlfriend must be so proud.
Good to Hannah more involved with the build seeing as its her car. Good 1
What a great watch, your positivity is infectious.
Anyone else notice Tony’s grandad t-shirt? Is this the reason you got a family size Urus Mat? You keeping another build from us? 👀
I thought that too😭
Haha nah my sister has 3 kids
@@MatArmstrongbmx are you married
@@MatArmstrongbmx ah I see makes sense 😂
Suvs are fast and high up thats why people love them not fir family reasons as much
Bolt boy did a good job today

Hi Matt
When panels are bonded together the main strength is in the bond. The rivets are to prevent peel. Bond is very strong in shear but not in peel. Imagine sticking two bits of tape together and trying to pull them apart, then peel them apart. On you're trying to break all the glue the other just the very front edge.
The rivets massively contribute to the structural strength. Each 1/4” blind rivet has a shear strength of over 150kg.f depending on type, it can be way higher. The panel bond is also very strong, they work in unison together. Great stuff though.
Not sure where Mat gets so much energy from, but he is inspiring and fun to watch.
Mat is never pregnant but always delivers good content 👍🏽. Love from Zambia 🇿🇲
Mat, I live in Louisiana! Far far away from Leicester! I've been a petrol head all my life but after watching you and Freddie I have to start my career in automotive repair and documentary. Oh, also I'm 41, married with 4 kids. So let's see how it all goes! Lol
I'm an accountant and Mat (+Freddy and others) has helped to give me confidence to work on my own cars. Today, I spent three hours looking at automotive certification courses.
Thanks Matt for wearing safety glasses millions of people watch your vlogs and you only have one pair of eyes so MASSIVE THANKS when you work
I like to see Hannah working on her own car. She does it well.
(I worry a little about her hair being so close to power tools, though.......but hey you're adults, learn your lessons).
I am full of admiration for you, for how much you've learned and how far you've come.
The car is coming along great! New subscriber here. You and your teams energy bro really shine on camera. Thank you for making this content. Finally some good wholesome videos to look at.❤
put masking tape around the brush bristles leaving a quarter of the brush shown for seam sealer Mat
It’s about time Hannah was your wife!!! I could do with a good wedding!! 😂👍
I enjoy the "family" teamwork as much as the build itself. Well done ya'll! 👏
Man, watching you tackle this rebuild is just wild! I mean, a Lamborghini Urus for your girlfriend is next level! 😍 Love how you’re making it work without a manual, that creativity is something else. Can’t wait to see how this all turns out! 💪🚗
Absolutely love this channel I've watched it from the very first BMW he did in his driveway and looks where he is now. I've always been a petrol head and mechanically minded but I've learned so much more watching this channel. Great work guys
Hannah is now chief measurer moving forward! 👍
Tony's robot walk at the end was hilarious! :D
Good work as always guys. Urus-tar Mat.
THE MAN.
THE MYTH.
THE LEGEND.
THE ONE AND ONLY TONY.
I'd wager that the editing is equally as good as the storyline, and content. Your success here is not surprising with this context in mind.
Honestly it's cool to see Hannah helping to build the Lambo :D
Isn't the QRS8 chassis closest to a Uros chassis?
Put the heating on Matt. Hannah is cold at 8:41🥶
noiceee , see 7:43 that build
@@devanshagarwal8806oh I seen that build 👌🤤
Matt's parents in DMs: "so when are you rebuilding a lambo for us?"
he gave his dad a ferrari
@@peep5118ye a Ferrari f430 I think it is
He already did
@@mirorommelaere7616I know
If you subscribed you’ll know he did a Ferrari fr dad 😅
Matt some ideas!
Two projects I’ll never do because they are expensive:
1. Flamborrari - Ferrari F360 with a Lamborghini Gallardo V10 engine and some lambo body mods.
2. Build a super car from parts only using eBay and Marketplace to source everything, shell then engine then interior… etc etc…
Just watching this has made me remember some of your early videos. You have turned into a real good mechanic and repair work. Keep it up bro; proud of you
Currently sat in A&E with a supposed fractured skull.. this has cheered me up massively 😂
A bit of panel bond and some self tapping rivets you'll be brand new 👍
@@willsmith39 absolutely fantastic I'll give that a try 😂
7:43 YOO So this is why 🎂 😂
Chassis looks good to me man! 🙌
Lots of love from Kenya 🇰🇪 ❤️
Hi mat, with regards the bolt of death try snapping the bolt head off undo the nut put washers behind the nut and then tighten it should pull the bolt out done this on a4 and passat it works. Hope this helps Andrew
that was good timing !!
*Purchasing a stock may seem straightforward, but selecting the correct stock without a proven strategy can be exceedingly challenging.

When is Mat junior joining the team ❤
@@MatArmstrongTook2LongToUpload on his birthday
Sorry to say but to install those drive shafts you’re going to need to release that suspension again, in dealer the whole powertrain comes down with the suspension.
The top bolts (aka your death bolts) blow torch and an air gun always does the trick for me. The Urus ones aren’t as bad to get out like the other VAG models.
You’re gonna need a battery btw, not cheap… now has a modified harness and a lead acid battery. Dealer price is about 4.5k inc labour. Yours will have the original Urus LiFePO battery which is not available from Lambo anymore.
Thanks so much, Mat for all the hours of entertainment on this channel. Huge respect for your work ethic, the partnership with your Dad and everything you have achieved. Well done, you!
Girlfriend is lucky to have you and you are lucky to have her. When are you gonna make a baby that rebuilds crashed RC cars?
10:23 , thank me later 👌
You did what I wanted to do! 😄🍑😉
Matt - Girlfriend? Time you sorted that out long term, if you know what I mean 🙂💍❤
Nice to see hannah getting on the tools again. ✌️ as it is her car 🚙 ✌️ 🇬🇧
Good to see Hannah involved. Go Hannah
