    I bought the cheapest Porsche 718 cayman s 3 months ago from copart & have been rebuilding and restoring it back to its former glory since then. I have also been upgrading alot of parts to GT4 parts & in the last video i dropped the car off so it could be painted... Now its back and its time to rebuild this thing for real!

      It's nice to see the videos come full circle; including his mates in his videos. {although it remains true to his statements: starting off in a restaurant carpark, start where you are, and have confidence to use what you have. Don't stress by what you 'don't' have access to.)
      [From "getting lit" to "giving back." Awesome testimony to their maturity, and hope for our future.]
      Mat is an inspiration for restoration of humanity, as much as upgrading automobiles. (See here, at the least, it's not a "disposable" generation!)

    500k views in 1 day, really says a lot abt you as a person, especially for a car content creator, which car video views are typically significantly less than other videos, everytime you release a video i wait til i'm off work , get a plate of food and play your video on my 55" , which says a lot becuz i always watch videos on my phone, you give me goosebumps just seeing the amount of passion, heart, and quality into your videos, i dream and strive to be even half as good as you, im slowly starting to do my own work on my daily M2 6MT, hopefully one day i can achieve this!

    Hi Matt - you won’t remember me, but we briefly met when we were trying to get our track licence from Mallory park. We rocked up in a blue sprinter and my brother luke recognised you from your videos. Sadly early this year he unexpectedly passed away and I found your videos online. Big fan of your videos but this set has been close to home. Luke owed a 718 which is now mine which will never be sold. It’s been great watching and learning a thing or two. Hopefully it won’t need the repairs you did!
    Best - Scott

    Just found the channel a couple of days ago, binge watched a couple of the playlists including the Golf R, and the Aston. Great thing was I seen them right till the end product. Started this Porsche series today and I'm now left with a cliff hanger so close to the end. The suspense is killing me!
    Also seen the one where you visited The Smallest Cog, Hammond has you sussed a mad man! How dull the world would be without you mad men! Keep at it Mat a fantastic channel that I'm going to love browsing!

    I’m absolutely in love with this build man 🤤 I’ve said it on all of the cayman project episodes, but it’s exactly what I’m lookin at doing with a 718. I want to do the gt4 conversion with one of these in Frozen Berry and dry forged carbon, instead of the gloss carbon, SO bad. This has definitely been my favorite project so far, and you’re KILLING it 😎🙌🏼 I can’t wait to see it all finished and buttoned up and see you enjoying it on the road.
    As always, stay awesome man! ✊🏼

    Mat, one upgrade I would really strongly suggest (but I know isn't cheap) is upgrading the headlights to PDLS+. They look SO much better with the new Porsche style 4 rectangle DRLs, and the main beam assistance features are great too. I love it on my Cayman GTS, and I know that it's an option that A LOT of Cayman buyers look for in a car.
