Always nice to see the manufacturer/dealer willing to lend a hand rather than gatekeeping all their helpful knowledge

Freddy is a real one come to visit your friend after a near miss … is so humane… we men these days can learn a lot from such loyalty and support…

Hey Matt. I'm a BMW Body Technician with 12 years of experience, so I love to watch your videos. You are not doing bad, but need to remember some steps, like welding spray called Inox in between the joined parts where you have sanded for weld connection, and you have to apply more glue in between the aluminum and steel part to make sure everything is covered and has some spacing between it, since aluminum will corrode way faster than iron. On the rear quarter panel you have to actually replace it because of the bonded seem in the wheel hole, but you can ( not professional fix and not approved fix ) go over it with a sealer or body glue to make sure it's closed for no rust in the future. There's some more points but you learn every time you do a car and it's great to follow your development. Keep up the good work :)

I like how the cameraman is included in every video, but Mat armstrong's dad is a really nice guy and supports Mat and helps him rebuild cars. He really deserved the ferari that Mat gifted him. Cheers Mat Amstrong, keep up the great work

I am 74, female, haven't got the foggiest about how to build cars and I LOVE your enthusiasm, craftsmanship, humour and how you, Matt, work with your father and the team! Love from 🖤❤🧡!

I'm a Body Structures Engineer ( worked on Rang Rover, Defender and jaguars). Original Rivets are SPRs ( self pricing rivet) and can only be fitted with SPR gun which require double sided access. The one you bought are called POP rivets or mono-bolts. If you are using mono-bolts, make sure correct adhesive specs suggested by BMW/Rolles Royce is used. Otherwise it might fail. Front structures performance is is very crucial in high speed crash. disclaimer: Just a suggestion

Coming here and hoping you see this Mat. I’m 34, American, never searched a thing about super cars or rebuilds, and some how the KZfaq algorithm showed me one of the McLaren videos. I ended up watching that entire series and have been absolutely hooked since. I’ve binged the Audi Q5 up the the Audi R8 and I’m loving every bit of the content. You have quickly grown to be one of my favorite KZfaqrs. And side note, your dad is one of my favorite people that I wish I could meet. Y’all seem like genuinely good people and I love the channel. Never stop doing what you love!

Just a quick shop tip when you are welding in a nice engine bay put a fire blanket over the engine. Those hot sparks will melt little pock marks into hoses and plastic covers if they land on em. Can also be bad if by chance it landed on part of the wire loom and melted through.

Best channel in the car space right now . Keep it up Mat!

you may want to double check any of the electrical connections I do up on the car ;)

I love how you attracted over 2 million viewers in the first 20 hours and still assume that RR won't have a clue of that car's history when you roll in for warranty work. I also love that I have yet to spot you using a manual or any kind of documentation at all in your videos. Keep up your excellent work! You spread such pure optimism here.

Gladiator name with M should have been answered with thundering “MAXIMUS! MAXIMUS!” chants

Hi Mat, I live in the United States. I'm Ricardo, I'm 55 years old. I no longer work. I have a disability. I use oxygen to walk and I was a truck driver but I had heart surgery but here we are. I am a fan of your 2 channels, you are incredible, I am very entertained and I laugh a lot, also your entire team is incredible and a special person. My is your dad from Apollo and you are both enjoying each other's company. That is nice, take advantage of all the time you are with your father, mat because many of us do not have the opportunity to be with our father and share with him your achievements and projects. Thank you Mat for everything you do to entertain us and learn through this medium, thank you 😅😊

Been a body repairer for 3 years and I’ve been hesitant to start me own thing, watching the videos here is truly great motivation 👌🏻🇿🇦🇿🇦

I have an AVO Mexico which I've had since the late 90's. Was hit by, of all things, a bloody Metro! Old lady pulled out on me and took out the rear quarter (steel Forrest arches). Was devastated as the car had a full metal respray just a few weeks before. Called up a friend who is a panel beater and he arrived with a couple of friends. Truly a science and real magicians! I sat there in amazement watching them work away until they weaved their magic on the rear quarter (very similar damage to your Rolls). Took an afternoon but was astonishing what they managed to do. I have nothing but admiration for their skills. The body shop where I had the car painted took pity on me (think they really liked the car and the colour) and did the touch-in respray for absolutely free! I still have the car to this day. I still rag it around hard as it should be driven. You would never know the damage was there.

The best part of your videos is dad is helping and having a fun repairing cars with his son

Hey Matt, love your videos mate. My dad passed away yesterday and your videos bring me great comfort and happiness. I love seeing you and your dad work on all these projects together. Tell your family that you love them today never know when it's the last time. Much ❤️

Who else watching from jail

This is my favourite build of yours so far. Great effort, re-building the body panels rather than fixing on new ones and it’s a RR! Stylish motor. Class.

I usually don't leave comments on KZfaq videos, but I just had to this time. I really enjoy watching your videos! Although I'm not familiar with car mechanics, I love problem-solving. Mat, you have an incredible talent for pinpointing issues and figuring out how to fix them.

Mat, the sensor in the grill is a night vision camera & the spirit of ecstasy cover should have x4 small springs fitted underneath it 👍🏻

Pro tip Matt- get a welding blanket and throw it over the engine bay while you weld, keeps those sparks from doing nasty things to the exposed plastics, and from possible fire.

❤ once again such a thrilling episode, to see Margret (Maximus) Mansory come to life and be rebuilt. What an amazing team around you. Great to see Freddie taking time out from the wiring loom. Keep it coming can’t wait for the next instalment of Maximus Mansory. “Are you not entertained”!

The most amazing inspirational person I have never had the pleasure to meet. Matt is the best.

Mat, some friendly tips for you with body work: Don't use a belt sander to grind out spot welds, this removes material from the adjoining panel that you want to keep. Always drill spotwelds with a spotweld drill bit. Always cover glass with at least some thick cardboard, fire blankets are best, but cardboard is the cheaper option. This prevents any sparks from burning the glass, you'll be surprised how far those welding/grinding sparks fly, and quickly make small burn marks. Anyways, great videos!

Let's have a little shout out of appreciation for Marcus Rashford and his car guys for passing on the parts, they didn't have to and it's a proper cool gesture. Another appreciation shout for the Rolls Royce tech, passing on simple yet essential information to help out. Superb. Great progress, can't wait to see this finished and 'Rolling' on the roads!

I rate the progression of the this car more than Marcus rashford work rate this season

Been following your short for on tiktok for a while but this is the first project ive been watching your long form videos on and i'm hooked.

man shout out to Rashford and his team for being supportive!

Would be epic if Rashford can come and see the car once it’s done!

Long time subscriber. You can use a all direction spray straw for the cavity wax. The factory has a process to get wax into the panels. Pressure bleeding is absolutely the best way to get the air out with ebrake systems.

Pro Tip from a Euro tech, you can pressurize the brake system by pumping the pedal up, and crack the hardlines at ABS module block, the air will escpae from behind the flare fittings and it will resolve the airlock issue at the Module. You can do this at the master cylinder or any other air lock point with a joint.

probably the best car repair youtuber out there and been up there for the past few months

Still blows my mind you started in a car park with minimal tools. Bravo Sir, you’ve done good.

It was lovely to see the car progress, just having both headlights in and working for example was brill ! Respect as always for the work and great video, thanks!

Thank God that David Gilmour took that part-time job at Rolls Royce. I always knew he was a good guy and helps people that need it.

Im from a nother country,and always looking for a new video to see your job and learn from it,thanks for sharing your work with us❤

I’ve been following up on the E24 over at YCR. Man the level of detail in that restoration is definitely one of the best I’ve ever seen. I can’t wait to see it be reassembled

The most-awaited upload in a good while!! Thank you Mat for providing us with great content! Never clicked so fast before!

I’m completely invested in this series.

Matt, when you weld, can you talk about what equipment and settings you are using? It would be helpful for us amateur welders out here...

Your skill level is just amazing

Just sat down with a nice brew… MA posts a new vid. Lovely timing.

You know you’ve made a Man-Sue-ry right? Or is it Man-Sooooo-rryyy?

So when I used to work on cars I worked at a salvage yard and we would cut the whole quarter panel off of the damaged car with a saws all and a torch, then we would take the quarter panel off a donor car and weld it onto the salvaged car easy fix and works amazing. You can not tell the difference after it’s painted.

So talented mashallah, I wish I had someone to fix the car my grandmother left me before she passed it’s just sat in my garden 😢so I’ve been watching all your video to help me learn slowly. Keep up the good work guys may god bless your channel.

This rebuild will seriously be historical. This and Freddies Mclaren will be forever written in the history of youtube

Thanks for quality entertainment once again. Love from SA🇿🇦

@ROLLS ROYCE. It is dope to see this kind of casual corporate kindness. This is the best form of advertising. You are ahead of the curve!

love your video bro , I can understand how much debt your in but one day you will complete rebuilding this ROLLS ROYCE NEVER GIVE UP BRO !

Would 100% recommend a spot weld drill bit Matt. Will make your life loads easier and helps saves an otherwise destroyed panel

Watching from South Africa 🇿🇦

Who else kept refreshing to get new updates/episodes…? Can’t come on KZfaq without actually searching Matt Armstrong for any update at all Kudos to what build u doing … you cld really be building a Lego car and I will still be eager to watch.🎉

Mat. Wow! Mate there are enough hours in the day for you to read where all your fans come from. All over the world 🌍 mate. I live in Hamburg and you never cease to blow all of us away with your builds. As some people write. No matter how bad a day has been. When we watch your videos with your dad etc it just brightens up our day, evening ! Hope you take Freddy and his mates out for a good curry mate. Best care repair/ rebuild channnel on KZfaq Matt. Keep up the great work mate. You deserve all the success in the world Mat. You are awesome mate.👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😃

Dude you went from repairing your girls 20 grand car in a driveway to repairing half million dollar cars in like 3 years or so with zero experience..that is absolutely amazing.. good for you, I hope you keep the wraith you deserve it

I was quite close with my Dad, who passed away a bit too young a few years ago. It always warms my heart and makes me happy to see you and Tony working together in these videos. Great times to be had. Thanks for the great videos. cheers

Mat you really are a man of many talents. This is a monumental undertaking. All the best.

Interesting content. Keep up the good work on your channel. Regards, WR4K.

Come on guys , let’s get Mat to 3 million subscribers! He deserves it ! 👇if you agree

I love the relationship you and your dad have. I get along with mine, but couldn't imagine a project like this with him. Great content in itself.

I love it when Freddy turns up, he seems like such a mega genuine dude.

Your enthusiasm makes me smile every time brother

Dude flawless repair so far. Getting Sue was definitely the play for this rebuild. I'm really glad you didn't crash into a tree at the end. I would imagine after the accident with the Ferrari, that Matt's heart dropped all the way down to his pants. That feeling when your foot starts shaking uncontrollably on the brake pedal after almost crashing your car sucks!

Hands down, best automotive series ever. Truly informative and entertaining. Cheers Armstrong team!

2.2 mil views by the pass of a singular day, whilst 3 mil over 2 weeks... Only shows how high quality his content is!

Just making my day watching you guys making vids like these. Absolutely loving it. ❤❤

Every video leaves you with a big smile on your face. Not a lot of people can do this. Mat's a real one

Love it when Freddy and Matt are together in a video! 2 masters of their craft. Respect! 🤙🏼

Wow Matt, you're definitely a certified pro NOW, can't wait to see the finished product 💫

Another great episode, this weeks itch scratched. I have really enjoyed your early stuff as well, I am working through the Bentley videos as I have always fancied one of those. If anyone hasn’t started at the beginning with Matt’s channel it’s really worth it just to see how far he’s come confidence wise. Keep it up buddy 👍👍

@matt Armstrong. You should get some 99.9% IPA and after the chisel with a string inject the IPA to where the bond is and leave for 30 mins or so this will help loosen the panel bond and make it easy to separate. A tip you may be able to use in the future. Hope this helps

I really like the little animation showing how the brakes work. Very clear and educational.

It's awesome watching mat still getting as excited about the brakes working like the first video he ever did. Awesome 🎉

This is one of the most interesting series i've followed in a while!

love seeing you and freddie together. true mates for life. love to see you both do a build together

Love from Namibia 🇳🇦

Bleeding ABS, put car on ramp, ignition on, fool the module into thinking a wheel is turning. (Take a wheel off, remove the disk locating screw, press the brake, now turn the hub(hopefully you don't have wheel studs). the other three wheels/brakes will be pulsed. Alternatively you could connect a wire from Sue ABS sensor to Margaret, spin Sue's wheel and bleed 3 of Margaret's brakes😉

Epic series. Great work TEAM MA !!🎉🎉

Best channel by far ATM. Love it. We support the RIGHT GUY 👌🏽

Matt and Freddy the two best KZfaqrs for rebuilds 👍👍👍🇬🇧🇺🇸🇬🇧🇺🇸🇬🇧

RR are so right to help out. Such amazing PR for them to do so. Super cool. Old school cool! Proper.

Definitely my most favourite car yet. Great work Mat & Co!

I prolly think rashford ganna buy this back when mat is done with it😂

It's always good getting a notification from you mat🇿🇦

Hey Mat, Please use eye protection.

Give yourself some Credit Mat. Hard work really does pay off my friend 😃

Once you see a Mat Armstrong video notification you can’t resist clicking it. 😅

Greetings to Freddie as well. So good to see him here.

You're doing such a great job. I can't wait to see the end results.

Mat it's to see Tavarish to help you good luck to the wraith project , and anybody seeing this comment should make sure that they subscribed to this channel

New Video up!!!! 🎉❤. Love this build! No chance of bringing that one to Florida? 😅

Well Mat you can no longer say you're an amateur at repairing vehicles. You my friend have become a professional technician right before our eyes. Suuuuuue.

Couldn't wait any longer for this. I kept my eyes on KZfaq the whole weekend. I think there is a fix that took back stand when Matt got this Royce. Big up Matt, your videos are so inspirational.

Excellent, Mary coming out saying, “for gods sake let me out”..fantastic job Mat and the team..

people who just love these vids with food>>>

Hi mat I just want to say I love your videos and you have inspired me to work on cars like you do. Thank you for these amazing videos ❤

I like this goin back and forth from stradman to matt videos

Award for most expensive and best quality "parts car"👑

It's crazy that a v12 6.5 litter engine that has an output of 359 g/km and is in the highest rating of co2 band, is ulez compliant and only 180 pounds a year to tax . This ulez and tax bracket is so wrong 😂 we get so screwed over by the government. My little golf r is in the same tax bracket with half the co2 output 😂

When matt posts your day flip to the bright side
