always amazing the amount that mat can get done in one video 🤯 👑

So nice to see a KZfaqr actually complete a project in a single video. I hate watching a 30 minute video and then have to wait a week for part 2 lol

OMG the rs6 wagon is my ultimate dream car, and for all the reasons you listed. Was so nice to hear someone who gets it. I also love buying damaged cars, fixing and reselling so it made this video like the perfect storm. Cant wait to go watch what happens to it next, keep up the great work.

It's taken me like 8 months so far fixing similar damage (no airbag or windscreen dmg though) alongside other stuff. 😅 Definitely heaps of work, depending a lot on how much you buy parts vs. fixing them and painting (oh boy).

What I am loving at the moment is that Matt is really involving his dad with all his projects which is loverly to see some proper farther-son time together and mr Armstrong snr seems to really know his stuff and seems a integral part of the team so long may this relationship carry on in the future ❤️

We hardly see these in the USA as no one likes wagons for some reason. So nice though and can’t wait to see it finished and possibly in SEMA…

Have to credit to your videos Mat. Doing so much and fitting it into one video-just so impressive.

Glad that they mentioned retaining the air on gas, yes it’s a pain to get it recharged, but it should be recovered properly if it’s removed, some of the air con gas HCFC are 2000 times more damaging than CO2 so small amounts do make a difference….they are also expensive…keep up the videos Mat you are inspirational.

My dad use to help me with my work as well. He was a legend. Sadly he’s no longer with me and I miss him every day, not only for his advice but his practical skills too. Mat you’re one lucky guy. Love your content

Those are pre-facelift headlights, but they are full LED and require different plugs and coding to work, and you might need additional modules on the car to make it work, depending on what cameras they utilize for the automatic high beams. Kufatec in Germany can sell you the components and give you the coding to make it work.

*kerosene starts playing*

luckily he wasnt at 300 kmh or playing kerosene when that crash happened

The new headlights you fitted are still for a pre facelift, difference is you now gone from xenon to led. With requires new plugs, extra wiring and other modules

Meanwhile it takes me 24 hours to get out of bed 😂

You guys are amazing. But my special salute goes to your Dad. He's such a support. You're so lucky to have him 👏❤️

Dear Mat, a huge thank you for your channel! It is a pleasure to follow you and watching you give crash damaged cars a second life:) You also encouraged me doing more by myself on my car. This winter I've stripped apart the whole interiour of my Maserati and renewed it. The only thing I'd love to see is that sometimes you would take a bit more time for the rebuild😉 just a bit;) But I understand your challange like the one with the RS6. All the best to you! From Switzerland (the country with strict speed limits)😉

I love seeing your dad having fun and working along side his successful boy. Enjoy the time you have with him because many of us would give anything to have moments like that back.

this 24 hour episode was awesome! no wasted time, just good content!

So good watching you strip and rebuild cars. You've got no fear and deserve success.

Dude u should rebuild a wrecked Honda fit/jazz and put a sick body kit on it!! IT WOULD LOOK SICK

Absolutely love how this guy can just get shit done in 1 video. Big fan of how Mat actually tells us the price of the build to make it seem more attainable for people like me 🤣😭

Mat, you three are legends! I have to tell you how you gave this 48 year old Mom of 2 teenage boys, "street cred"..... My son is wanting to update his stock BMX bike for his birthday in a couple weeks. It'll be his very first project of the sort. He gave me a list of things he wanted (New forks, wheels, tires, handlebar, grips, pedals, seat and custom paint job) and said "I know you don't know much about cars or bikes, so here's my list, but don't order anything without me checking to make sure they're right!" I started to laugh and told him "You do know that I lived a whole life before you right? I used to buy cars and modify them, put new custom wheels and tires on them, do custom paint jobs, and put amazing stereos in them! I've had so many cars I can't keep track of them all!" He looked at me and asked to see pictures and was shocked at the sheer amount of cars that I owned. I then showed him your channel and told him how I watch you weekly, along with a few others that rebuild cars, and others that do custom painting. He looked at me like I was someone he had never seen before! I suddenly was a cooler Mom just by him seeing you were a BMX rider AND rebuilt awesome cars. I've been with you since you had about 100k followers and I've loved watching you grow to where you are today. You're my absolute favorite and I appreciate you, Hannah, your Dad Tony and everyone else who helps with your projects and videos. Thanks so much for bringing me a bit closer to my sons. You made me a very happy Mom today! ❤

Loving the Audi restomod stuff! From bitter experience with a 1995 UrA6 I know that even what the workshop manual & parts catalogue says is often wrong. Then there is the fact it’s so well screwed together, there are usually clips held in by screws and screws held in by screws (probably exaggerating) But the best is the pneumatic line system on the old ones like a lego technic JCB set x 1000 or as one mechanic mate put it “Repairing an old Audi is like trying to fix a Swiss watch with a spanner” 😂

The Audi RS6 with the akrapovic stage 2 exhaust system is a win, just the sound of the exhaust makes my day

I think you need to click the wheel change option in the dash Matt, to stop the air bags inflating as you lift it up, you normally put it in this setting when changing a wheel

An RS6 is still number 1 on my bucketlist, since i was 9 and saw (and heard) it for the first time in Munich. Throughout the generations of the RS6 they just became more and more beautiful (imo).

24 hours must be different in the UK.

The light situation is a bit messy with the C7/7.5… those you ordered are the pre-facelift full-led lights (they were the first full-led lights in 2011), which do however require different wiring, same with the actual facelift lights. For the rear you can rewire the lights from the facelift if you prefer them, it’s not that difficult of a job. Good luck with the awesome build!

I can watch this guy all day. He’s so positive and uplifting in his vids. He and his team do amazing work.

One of the few cars that really jazzes me! I'm a surfer so a suped-up wagon is always AWESOME!

Mat on his grind yall

Thank you Mat. These videos definitely motivated me to buy a crashed car and rebuild it. When you work on it and fix it, the fun you have after is extraordinary.

Matt, those are not facelift headlights. Those are optional pre facelift matrix led headlights. And you should definitely use jackmode, otherwise suspension will let all the air out when jacked. Stocked for the rs6 build!

Matt, you have been the worst thing that happened to my bank account😃 inspired me to buy and facelift a w166 into GLE63 😃

Imagine going down the highway in that and kerosene starts playing 💀

Immensely satisfying watch you fellas work to rebuild this car and save it. Love that Matt has his Pop working with him getting this done.

I’ve never waited in anticipation more for anything else than these episodes. Matts doing great things, such a down to earth geezer! Doesn’t know everything, doesn’t act like he does, proper guy.

It blows my mind how you guys can put cars back together like this. Great job!!

You'll need to replace and reprogram the SDM/SIR (the airbag module) during a crash event the module unloads it capacitors rendering the module useless. That will take care of those airbag codes assuming the harnesses weren't damaged during deployment.

Just what I was hoping for and it’s happening a little later than expected but, still going to be as good as every build Mat uploads for us.

I'm blown away , changing the door with the trims on these things is patience pure , you guys are heroes here well done

Great videos I did a BMW E36 years ago. Bought from a scrap yard someone had slid into a kerb and broke the bk wishbone but the scrap yard replaced it before selling. First time I took it out a run i got it up to speed to see what it could do and just herd bang blew the diff there had been no oil in diff but just replaced diff. Was brilliant car drove it for years. Sold it to my brother in law and he fecked it so when he scrapped it I kept the momo steering wheel and strut brace and I’ve still have

This build is being posted in FB groups in South Africa. It would be nice if I could share a screenshot here. Well done, Mat Armstrong.

Gotta love Matt’s hard work! Canny wait to see this build

Congrats !!! You got lucky and it was an easy fix. My opinion is when you see a fender pushed into a door, DO NOT try to OPEN the door, that ding in the A pillar was caused by you forcing the door open then forcing it closed. Now you have extra body work to do

would not work in germany, because at this point of damage the inspector would say its totaled, and the frame is damaged.

please rebuild audi rs6 crashed on autobahn

You are so blessed, that you can buy a car for "cheap", and than turn it back to fresh.. It's fantastic, and i'm happy for you that you can make your dream a reality. You deserve it, looking at all the work and effort you put into this car.

That 26 minutes just flew by! Great editing, super presentation, far and away the best car-based channel on YT, Thank you.

“Why this is so cheap” it’s got a great big hole in the front bruv

What model are those wheels? I have managed to see the BC Forged brand but I cannot identify the model. Thank you!

One of the most enjoyable videos Mat has done! The crew (including Dad) just adds to the video! Well done!! I will be looking forward to the next installment on this Audi!

Brilliant Mat, your channel is so much better than most as you just get the job done, no woffle about what you plan to do and you have the parts ready to go. Good job.

Mat Armstrong Awesome Video I think it's awesome that you guys put that Wrecked Audi RS6 Avant together in 24 hours and to where the Sema Started

I know nothing about cars but I do love and appreciate them. This surely is very inspirational, nice video!!

As a car enthusiast, there's just something about RS cars that I love more than other brands. But M cars and AMGs are also incredibly close to my heart

The dedication this takes to complete is insane. As always Matt, amazing job by you and your team! Also shout out to Chris for coming through and helping!

Matt loved your videos keep up the good work. That is awesome you get to experience that with your dad! I would have loved doing that with mine. The RS6 is such a beautiful car. Is the maintenance quite expensive on those cars?

"could be better if its a BMW". truer words have never been spoken

You could get the plug for the facelift headlight from either a crash damaged car or a few aftermarket stores, after which all you’ve got to do is cut the wires from the old ones and re-wire them with the new plug. I did the same for my RS6 here in India as I got aftermarket headlight. You could also get the headlight plug from some aftermarket plug and play kits.

in love with every episode you're making, enjoying it as usual and learning more from you. Big respect to our teacher Mat Armstrong. Watching you all the way from Dubai, wishing to be like you one day 🤟

Can't believe this guy can restore an RS6 in 20 minutes. What a unit.

Great that you are doing with "me Dad", you geezers are awesome.

Almost 2m views on day 2! Its a testament to how good your content is Mat. 👌 Cant wait to see what the car looks like finished!

Brilliant videos Mat! I love the relationship you have with your dad and involvement he has in all your projects!! Makes for a really good watch. Keep up the good work 👍🏻

The difference in their English is crazy. Bonnet=hood. Wing=fender etc. I like it

Such a nice guy and friendly team to work with

Matt the kit looks fantastic I’m a Canadian living in Australia. Keep up the good work.

Matts not even breaking a sweat with this build. This is light work now, how far you’ve come mate, well done 👊🏼

When it comes to the headlights I had the C7 platform for my Audi S6 and I personally didn't buy one unless it had the LED headlights. They make a massive difference! Looks alone are 10000x better but in terms of visibly at night is NIGHT & DAY. The ones that came with yours are dull and yellow and the LED have the crisp white light and turn with you to brighten your peripheral when you turn. They're not an updated version to a later model they came with that option from standard or upgrading to those LED's.

Best part about the used parts are I bet they are all OEM parts too. Nothing fits and works better

Got to see this car at Sema, very cool to see where it got its start. I can’t stop watching your videos!

I love wagons , its easy to get a nice look from just doing some wheel fitment, exhaust, tints an aero . Cant wait to see what you got planned for this especially if its for SEMA.

Mat's adventures in headlight replacement continues, you have the worst luck with replacing headlights but the build is off to a great start.

Dude is full of it with his prices 100%. I been in the auto body business for 19 years and I can tell you for 100% his prices are way way way off of actual prices of parts at least in America. Follow this guy and you will go broke good luck 😂.

Pov my brain : (flashbacks)*kerosene playing* *autobahn*

This series is going to be epic. Can't wait to see what you can do in a month and what you send to SEMA 😊

I love these kind of videos, quick repairs and then all the crazy mods, loving the addition of Chris & Dad to the vids. Can’t wait to see the finished version 🙌

Note for anyone wondering, turn the tire change mode on before lifting an Audi with air suspension or you’re likely to tear your airbags

10:35 thats called the "colling stack" bcuz it contains cooling components for acfew different parts of the car.

That was cool, Mat! Don't rush it! Your dad's energy is unreal and your friend has got the vibe too! Keep on going!👏

Check the suspension level sensors. Make sure someone didn’t put adjustable arms in it or something to make the car sit lower by fooling the suspension module

In my area damage like that is from hitting a deer, after impact with the front they're flipped up and smash the window.

Great choice of car model considering recent events.

The editing is really improving on these vids Mat. Even with the quick-cut edits for comedic effect. Loving it

Mat is truly unique ❤❤❤And the people who he surrounds him with are really kind hearted 💛💛💛💛

I’m always absolutely blown away by how fast the undersides of UK cars oxidize.

I wish I had a friend like Mat, so I could get an amazing car.

Awesome video so far, big fan of the RS6. My question is, why didnt you get the car checked for straightness? Id be concerned personally.

It’s a good thing you got the engine cover! The rs6/rs7 needs that cover, because it includes a heat shield for the turbos. You should also consider checking out the turbo oil screens, since it’s a known issue that they clog up, and inevitably cause turbo failure. 👌🏻

I can't decide what's more amazing, the content or the creator!

So amazing how cheap these car are in uk. Kind regards from Denmark

Can't wait to see this finished , the rs6 is my dream car and your going to do an awesome job on this beast 🤙🏻

It’s not the worst rs6 crash I’ve seen if I’m honest

US viewer, first video I’ve ever watched, I have an 03 Audi TT that I’d love to see you do something with, she needs work but with a jump she does run and drive

Never thought I’d see a pretty young dude so pumped about a station wagon.

Matt, I have a 2016 C7.5 RS6 (Facelift) - I'm in Nottingham. You have the front end of a 'performance' model C7.5 there, - you can tell that due to the side inlays being silver - it was literally called 'performance'. However, Main changes from C7 (yours) to C7.5 (£5k bundle) are front headlights, laminated side windows (noise from C7 was significant) and a remap to 600bhp.

This is amazing, it's so nice to see you and your dad working on these cars together. Always make me smile when I get a mat Armstrong has posed a new video notification.

Crazy. It gets shipped on my birthday. Good luck!!! and love your channel. very inspiring

Gud stuff guyz,informative..my son just bought 1 of these,wagon also.. Don't know to much about these, mechanics say the complicated, u poms are probly lite years ahead of kiwi mechanics, i like the sound coming out of exhaust, i think ill follow u guyz..kick ass men..NZ
