I bought a wrecked Mclaren 720s which had severe damage to the carbon fibre tub. Mclaren told us they were unable to fix it so our only option was to buy a whole new tub and rebuild the Mclaren from scratch.

please wear respirators and spray the areas with water before you cut the carbon to prevent the dust getting airborne and you inhaling it, carbon dust isnt fun to breathe in :)
This really needs to be higher. It is extremely bad for you! Tony will definitely not make it to retirement age if he keeps doing that.
Totally agree, not something I want in my lungs
A "healthy" dose garantee for a cancer.
Please wear a mask when you work with carbon specially when came with carbon dust.
Hard to watch...
Just put ozone machine in the day before (not for dust)
It's like resin dust, just sits in your lungs forever. Respirators for the win guys!
Man, your dad is oviously having the time of his life. He is probably the proudest dad this side of the Atlantic. Cherish the time you spend with him. My dad recently passed and I would not want to miss the last renovation project we did together for the world. Really touching to see him smile from the bottom of his heart.
I think he is so adorable. And their connection is amazing
It brings a smile to my face everytime I see his joy in the project.
His dad will not become old and enjoy his retirement if he doesn't use a respirator when cutting carbon fiber, same goes with Mat's lungs.
Oh my god, for sure it's great watching him. It's like watching the videos of Ken Block as he watched his daughter put her Audi together. When she was learning to weld he stood in the background with the biggest grin on his face. He was probably the proudest dad on the other side of the Atlantic!
He's on 2k a week now lol
Be careful of carbon fibre dust Matt. You should really wear a mask as well as goggles when cutting/drilling. Hopefully with the little bits you did there was not much risk.
Awesome video as ever though.
Your dad is a superstar, Matt. The relationship between you two is an absolute joy to watch. Tony, you created a superstar and a nice guy with it. Keep up the great work, I cannot get enough of the channel!
Amen to that
I so envy this mine wasn’t part of my liege let alone my interests - awesome stuff and as nice a bloke as you could find
This show is like a drug. It’s never long enough and as soon as it’s over I just want more.
It's never long enough seriously 😢
"Like a drug that I just cant deny" 😂
@@purplejuice476exactly!
💯
The definition of *”hold my beer”* when McLaren told Mat he wouldn’t be able to repair this car
Should be "hold my Y food" 😂
tbf he's not really repairing it, he's building a totally different car at this point. I'd be curious to know how the registration is going to work, I'd have assumed that the tub would have the VIN number on it. If that was the case then the car will have to go through the full inspection and registration process.
They told him it wasn’t possible to repair the carbon, which it wasn’t
😂😂😂😂 this was a good one
To be fair to Mclaren the tub is irrepairable. Great videos. Thanks.
I have to say those dried leaves left in the front frame ( 11:28 ) are doing my head in! Still, a minor concern with respect to this epic rebuild. I’m in awe of your skills!
Glad I wasn’t seeing things 😂
I noticed the same thing, silly to leave it there even if it doesnt really matter
Brilliant MA, enjoyed this episode.
That's a lot of squirrel food in there. 🐿
One of the best things about this video is the bond with your dad and how much fun you clearly have. You’re both so lucky 😊
HUGE IDEA! Matt, don't let the left over unfixable monocoque go to waste, instead turn it into the ultimate Racing Simulator!
Oh my god yes!!!!!!! What an amazing idea 💡 👏
I thought this too, however you’d need a full interior to make it feel realistic
Fun fact. I was working out of a very well known software company’s offices a few years ago and they had a fully trimmed mp4-12c rigged up as a sim, among a bunch of other cool toys
Yessir, he has to. Maybe he’d need an interior though?
@@ferkle1980 Woah!
Honestly, it can’t just be me that thinks Matts dad is a genius mechanic. I’ve seen so many videos and he’s always got solutions. When everyone else seems lost; Matts dad will find a solution. What a man! Matts a genius in his own right and together no one can stop this duo. The whole world will tell them it’s impossible and they make it looks like it’s the easiest thing in the world. Best channel on CZcams and like I always say, these two deserve every good thing coming their way.
Mat's...
The man is a legend ❤
Back to basics for the win.
2 words...
Old school 💪
Close his zipper on your way up
Mat. Your dad looks like he is having the time of his life mate. Both of you do. Your channel is amazing and having your dad more involved just adds to it. Keep up the good work Mat.
When you go home every night, take a minute to reflect how blessed you are to have your dad. Once they're gone, your life isn't the same.
I can’t get enough of Matt’s dad. I’ve never seen such a constantly smiling and happy father…ever lol. You guys are super lucky to have each other. Keep it up, whatever this formula is, it’s working.
Dude, totally !
He is becoming quite a star Matt’s dad
That is NOT his dad. Mat is 52, his “dad” looks 55……
@@GardenGuy1943don't be daft , 32 maybe but not 52
Matt’s dad has a wealth of knowledge.
Love this McLaren journey.
Me when I realize my favourite car youtuber and tech youtuber are besties
Do you love tavarish’s p1?😂
Hopefully Tavarish will fix his P1 as well =D
Car collection again!!!
You're damn fortunate to have a dad like that fighting in your corner. Kudos to you and your father..
Brilliant marketing strategy as you keep working while you promote products, it’s not boring at all no fast forwarding. So glad I found this channel!
Hi Mat, just a heads up I’m not sure what you bonded that piece with but as someone that works with carbon fibre on a daily basis building cross Atlantic rowing boats I’d highly recommend sanding down the area slightly with P60 sandpaper where you are bonding so that it adheres properly. Also I would’ve used crestomer bonding paste, (needs catalyst(KP9). This stuff is the proper stuff needed to make a strong bond. Also when cutting, sanding wear a mask!
I'll also add USE MASKS WHEN WORKING AND DRILLING CARBON FIBRE!! The dust gets into your lungs and causes issues similar to asbestos
Good advice, some simple tricks to get a good bond like glass beads lightly sprinkled in the epoxy and cleaning everything with acetone prior to gluing. Please wear masks!!!!
His biggest mistake was not using a mask when dealing with cutting and sanding carbon fibre!
Your videos are next level. You've cracked the "entertainment" code. The whole team is awesome. Your dads enthusiasm is infectious and the "just get it done" attitude is awesome.
Its nice seeing all the problems they encounter and how positive they are about them. Most people try to make everything seem perfect and only show things that go right or if they do show mess ups/problems they do so with a negative attitude. Really good channel overall. The only one thing I look forward to watching on CZcams these days and most of Mark McCann/carwow but they can sometimes loose my interest. Think having his dad has made things 10x better to top things off. Think he should do a series on the same process (eg cat cars) but do it for profit and start with cheaper cars and buy, repair, sell upto a tidy car and give it to his dad. cos we know costs but not the true value of the finished cars.
So much joy in your content. Zero ego, zero pretentiousness. It's easy to see how the channel has hit nearly 2M subscribers already. It's so refereshing and watchable.
How class is Tony!! His sense of humour is top tier. Could watch him all day 😂. Definitely helps make this channel even better than it is already!!
I love your dad in these videos. Seems so humble man. Videos are another level mat. You’re 100 times above all other rebuild channels
I second this ❤
I third this 👌🏻
The man the myth the legend and his son Mat !!! Keep up the great work guys
What an awesome team you and your Dad are! Its an addictive magic to watch, particularly now your Dad is more comfortable in front of a camera. As others here have said, each episode you release together makes me eager for the next.
You really have a way of sharing the excitement you feel with the viewers. We are right their with you. Keep it up and thanks!
Mat is literally the only guy on CZcams that can get us to actually watch the adds and not just skip through them.
frl
Just quickly go to your previous web browser and then back to the video. Thank me later
Do you actually still manually skip sponsors ?XDDD
Sponsorblock - than me later.
Na we skip them!!!!
I don't!
You can get it done before Christmas. We believe in you mat❤️🙌
I dont.
at this rate mid November
Drive it up to Hammond for Xmas lunch mate…
Legend status for Matt if it's done for Christmas
It's definitely gonna be done by next month
The fact that your dad is helping you out with builda is awesome to watch ❤
Great to see how much fun you are having and how relaxed you stay even when things are not working! As impressive as the project!
I watch a lot of car restoration videos and I've gotta say, the way you explain everything on camera and with voice over is what makes this videos so good. Not very many youtubers putting this much effort into the video production, amazing work.
But his hands are not sterile. A lot of the equipment is going to get infected, it drives me up a wall.
People like Mat can really change how other people around him feels.
I rewatch all his videos at least two times, one for the content and one to enjoy the presence and character.
Thanks man
Your a lucky man Matt can't believe Hannah doesn't keep coming in the unit and asking how long your going to be or she needs you to go and pick something up.................and i thought Aaron from Flying Sparks Garage was lucky lol love the videos binge watching them now you can see why you are like you are with your dads attitude to life brilliant keep it up.
You and your Dad are a joy to watch, so full of enthusiasm!
Watching Matt fix cars has become somewhat of a therapy for me
Same here ! Severe Depression took my ability to enjoy anything. But watching Mat and his dad makes me smile every single time.
The vibes, the positivity, the laughter, the progress they make is so inspiring and uplifting. This is GOOD stuff.
Yep! Same here 😁
@@timpricedrums😅
I love mats dad man the energy he got in every project just inspires me so much, your really lucky to have a father like him mat
Yes Mat! And your dad is a proper legend! He’s really coming out his shell the past few videos! Keep it up guys smashing it!
It's fun and fascinating to watch and is also such a wonderful thing to see a Father and son having a great time working together. I love your videos. Thank you.
I just love the relationship between father and son working on these builds.
Love your videos, carbon fiber dust is literally the worst for your health, protect those precious lungs 🫁
right, I wear a 3m double filter full out mask no matter what the dust, paint or metal grinding is going on... even wear when sweeping the shop haha
Definitely isn’t the worst.. pretty sure that title goes to asbestos
@bredeyyy7402 suspect they're as equally damaging.
I mean, a decent 3M particulate and VOC mask is pretty cheap! I cringe when I see people sanding paint or cutting CF without a mask.
@@aidencoder Yup the 3M double filter 3M 53P71 07193 is like $32 shipped USD. No reason not to wear one
Love how your dad has really grown into being on camera. The last year hes shown a lot if growth showmanshipwise and i think i speak for everyone when i say: love to see it guys 💯
Oh man these videos just keep getting better and better! You’re the true definition of self made and a shining example of how hard work and determination will bring you great rewards.
Awesome! Make sure the firewall hole you cut for the loom is smoothed properly. Vibrations will cause the rough edge to eat through the loom pretty quick. Loving this rebuild!
Best father son relationship in the car rebuild community, keep on doing what you do. All the best 🇿🇦
The relationship between you and your Dad is amazing! Wish I spent more time with my Dad when he was around. Cherish every moment!!
That cutting the carbon hole from the other car was an excellent idea!!!!! great job!!!!
Can't wait to see the finished product!
It is genuinely crazy how fast this build is moving along, i have full confidence you're gonna make the deadline. Banging job, keep it up!
Completely agreed, he has been to shows and everything since he got it, and now it's officially running, if there are no parts delays he's making it with flying colors
He's gonna smash the deadline
Much better then the other guy who is doing a Mclaren on youtube who has taken 20 episodes to disassemble his car.
Mat, your attitude towards life is True!
If you feel angry like a hammer everyone looks like a nail, you see everyone w/o dollar signs and the magic speaks for itself.
Amazing progress !! Great to see you and your Dad working together
Gotta take a moment to appreciate the fact his dad is now always part of these builds, has been for a while i know but, so wholesome man. Thats precious stuff right there. The joy in that high five when the motor finally turned over. Thats everything haha. Well done Matt, you're too cool. But your dads cooler 😅
Tears of happiness for Mat and Tony. What a glorious duo! Well done boys!
Myself and my sons can’t get enough of your exploits!
It’s so amazing seeing what you’re achieving. And you keep us fuelled with constant content.
It’s also awesome seeing your Dad and mates so involved. And also Hannah by your side, actively involved and the Lambo Casino road trip looked an amazing trip for you both 🤩🙏🏻
So happy for you that it started, what a moment. You have created a series that pulls you in. Keep it up.
Hopefully this rebuild will be a success 🤞🏾I'm crossing my fingers Goodluck mat 🇿🇦
Much love from South Africa ❤
We are lovin the content, keep it up 🙌🏼
Yes yes meneer, wat se jy alles😂
Awes🇿🇦😉
Mzansi for sho!
I can't stop smiling and laughing. I've had a lot of mental health issues of late and every time I watch your builds it makes me forget everything. It makes me feel happy for myself and especially you guys.Thank you for being genuine and total inspiration to me and many others.God bless you all🙌🥂🥂🥂🥂
I just love the eternal optimism! So stoked it started!
Mat I'm so proud of you and your dad and your team. I wasn't sure this one was going back together but you sir are AWESOME. thanks for another great episode! Give Kevin a scratch for me he's my spirit animal! take care cant wait for the next one!
Gotta appreciate how much time and effort goes in to these rebuilds behind the scenes, you and your Dad make it looks so easy.
Your Dads a legend Matt. love the relationship you and your Dad have working on cars, sadly, my dad was disabled and passed 2003, i never got to experience working with my dad, cherish every moment you have with him, they cant be replaced.
What an amazing father and son relationship! You're both blessed to have each other. Loving the channel
Hi Mat, I enjoy your builds a lot. Great work you, your dad and friends are doing. And so much fun you are having. I also use a Mr. Push and tweaked it, since a tire loses pressure quite soon. I made a little airpress hose with the connector to the air pressure hose on one side and a cut off tire valve on the other side. Put your outgoing pressure low and you’re set.😊
Mat is a perfect example of what you can achieve in life with a positive mental attitude and hard work
The sense of satisfaction when the McLaren started was felt by everyone watching matt good job 👍
Mat, I just discovered your channel and I have been watching it non stop. I lost my dad to cancer 26 years ago and at the time we were working on a 1953 Chevy sedan together. I am so happy that you have had this time with your dad and will have these videos to look at. Thank you for making these videos and I wish you more success in the future. Cheers from a humble colonist!
Well done Mat and your Dad... you've got it working. well running .
Can't wait to see the next video.
Props to Matt and Team
This build is going amazing can't wait for the finished product
I love how you and your dad bond together in doing all your projects. Cherish every moment with your dad because it's priceless.
The amount of knowledge and creative application that it takes to do something like this would be extremely intimidating, but you guys make it look easy. Always a pleasure to watch. And such great memories you're creating with your dad.
Really enjoying the videos Matt. It’s probably my most looked forward to channel to watch. I think it would be pretty good if you made a video about your dad and how he got his mechanical knowledge. He seems an integral part to the channel.
Awesome video. This episode really teaches you it is always one thing that has to be connected. Looking forward to the next episode. Keep up the good work.
Blown away with how much got done in this episode Matt. So happy it started in the end. Loving this build 👊
this guys work rate is insane, well done matt your videos are brilliant. best youtuber
I have great respect for you and your decision. Rebuilding the thing is hard and long work.
🎉
You guys are so terribly wicked, thank you for being you! So glad we get to see more of your dad, precious moments you are living here togtether. Thanks again and can't wait to see that one come back to life too!
Mat seems so genuine. Love supporting people like this. Good luck bro.
You guys are blowing my mind with every video. Can't wait to see if everything goes well.
One thing: make sure to wear a mask when cutting carbon fibre. This stuff is pretty nasty.
Cheers
As long as Dad is your right hand man, then I’ll watch again, cos his laugh cracks me up 😂👍✌️🇬🇧
Hi, I'm not really a car guy but cant stop watching your builds. Yours and your dads knowledge is amazing. Great videos and thanks for sharing them with us.
It's important to buy cars when interest rates and prices are low. My financial advisor also gave me the same advice. When rates and prices are low, it can save you money on financing and make the overall cost more affordable.
My financial advisor advises buying cars when interest rates and prices are low. However, he also cautions against it right now due to the hidden costs of car ownership, like insurance and maintenance. He helps me plan for these expenses and manages my portfolio to ensure financial stability. It's all about making strategic decisions and having a well-rounded financial plan.
Having a well-diversified portfolio is essential for financial success. A financial advisor can provide expert guidance, minimize risks, and offer insights on profitable investments. They bring experience and expertise, ensuring your portfolio is optimized for success. It's like having a trusted ally by your side, helping you achieve your financial goals..
Please how can I reach out to your advisor, if you don't mind me asking?
My Financial Advisor is Samuel Peter Descovich. I found him on a CNBC interview where he was featured and reached out to him afterwards. He has since provide entry and exit points on the securities I focus on. You can run a quick online research with his name if you care for
supervision. I basically follow his market moves and haven't regretted doing so.
Thank you, i pasted his name on my browser and his portfolio came up. Just wrote to him and waiting for reply.
Mats a star, his dad is a super star 😁
Your dads laugh at 27:56 is some of the most pure joy I've ever heard
Protip: mark every screw with paint that you tightened.. that way you can make sure to not forget a single screw.. Also please use Torque wrenches for structural and mechanical parts
How on earth does Matt make rebuilding a Mclaren sound and look like child's play, the man is gifted!
Hahah exactly what I was thinking!! 😱😅
Agreed. Nuts! Its like legos
Well done guys for getting started. I know that feeling when you have worked so hard and it starts. Done many times when I was younger.
One of the most anticipated build. I'm watching every episode and the vibes i get from you guys are just amazing!
Is it me or a lot of other people can't wait for mat to upload a video this are so satisfying and definitely inspire you to take this kind of jobs to do on your own well done mat you and your dad are legends 😎
What a great episode Mat, you and Tony knocked this one out of the park. I hope that CZcams takes note of your success as you rebuild this incredibly complicated super car and take us all on the journey video by video.
It is time for YT to give you the added sponsorship and exposure that you so deserve. Your channel has grown and the quality of your video editing is 1st Class and a huge shout out for all of you that work both in front of the camera and behind it as well.
COME ON YT, it's time to really boost Mat Armstrong and channel to the rightful position of Car Rebuild prominence!!
Warmest Regards - David from Melbourne Australia
🧐👌🍷🍷❤️❤️🦘
Love watching you and your dad work on the cars reminds me of when I was younger helping my dad build stuff. Ur so lucky you can do it all the time. Great video
Love see you working and laughing with your dad
Who else loves it when it all comes together for Matt!?! Another great episode.
Absolutely awesome to see you getting this done so fast. You don't need additional noise in the cabin. It's way nicer to have a conversation and hear yourself think at 300 kmp... I'm so excited to see you started it and figured out all the holes with bonding in the carbon fibre from the other body. I love that you are working with your Dad and Matt, very cool.
Just brilliant to see this all coming together gentlemen. Great video. Thanks
Brilliant video Matt and well done your dad for of his support and help, great team 👍
Not sure what is more beautiful - the craftsmanship or the teamwork with your dad... respect ❤
He always manages to sum up everything perfectly when he narrates
Starting watching you from Jersey Channel Islands, during my cancer treatment. While tuning in, I generally forget about the crap I’m going through. I’m totally engrossed in your journeys and it’s an informative and welcomed distraction.
THANK YOU, and I would love to visit your workshop when I am recovered.
You have a new fan in the Channel Islands🙏🏾
FANTASTIC MATT & DAD, YOU TWO ARE LEGENDS ,I nearly leapt of my chair when you got it started after all your hard work. Keep it going mate.
Cheers
from Australia.

The time spent with your Dad doing this stuff is amazing!
Its absolutely beautiful you do this with your dad and it seems like you both have a really strong connection with each other. Also its becoming an amazing car already! Love cars!
You guys are the best. Brilliant, knowledgeable, funny yet very humble. I’m amazed how you know where everything is going on these cars you work on.
This is real content… doing a great job Matt and co.. your dad is funny. Keep it up
“I’m not that cool” said the person rebuilding a 720S 😂😂 can’t wait to hear that engine at high RPM Mat, good luck mate! 🙏🙏
