Alot of negative comments here 😂Just remember... In a real life situation returning the car seems the best thing to do. But as creating content is my full time job it would make a much better story and content to rebuild this thing. The frame damage although unexpected is very minor compared to alot of projects seen on CZcams. I love to push myself and move on further with bigger builds. All safety aspects and frame damage will be done by professionals to ensure the car is safe. The rest will be left to me! Enjoy the content guys dont worry too much! you didnt buy it 😂
This is what makes your channel so good, never phased by a mammoth task, keep it going.🎱
In that case I'll be watching so go for it. Ps I love my v8 merc. Plenty power and torque.
Sorry mat I didn’t mean to sound negative in my comment, I know you will fix it and well but just would be my cuppa t driving it after..
Good luck with it mat, as long as the frame is straightened professionally then I dont see an issue with it. Loved the bit when you said if it's not your day then make it your day, brilliant attitude to have and look forward to seeing the next video
Gonna make superb content, love how honest this channel is and willing to crack on with any challenge. Can’t wait to see the end result.
I have a coupe boot lid in black of a 2 door if you like it for free get to the build going👍🤙
^^ The power of youtube, what an awesome subscriber!
this man deserves more likes
generous AF!
Be more like billy
Legend
One like = one smack for the previous owner that flipped this car knowing it was ducked.
Mat literally got ripped off and is still positive. Give this man a TV show, his positivity is contagious!
@Ethan Clark yes, but it’s still hard to find the motivation to get things done, especially with the shitty situations he’s been presented with. But yes, also looking forward to this build :)
Gotta take the good out of a bad situation sometimes
100% so refreshing
Here here, far better than the likes of wheeler dealers, I don’t even watch terrestrial tv anymore, CZcams is far better
Give him a TV show on what basis. Get real.
Long term project = long term fun, right Mat? 🚗🔧
😱
Absolutely! ❤️😝
@@MatArmstrongbmx almost thought you missed this comment!
You know you've made it when CZcams comments on your video
never in my 12 years of watching youtube have i ever seen youtube comment on somebody’s video...well deserved.
This guy is one of the best creators on CZcams.
I won't lie, I have been following you since your Bentley build. Since then, every video of yours, I have watched it. Honestly watched it.
Now you getting this, I am so happy and proud of you.
Keep shining mate.
I’ve been a panel beater for 25 years. It’s repairable but I’d save yourself a lot of hassle and take it back 😂
Definitely repairable but not cost effective, however it will be good content for the channel.
I have a 2014 Peugeot 208 actually it’s my first car 😅 but I bought it also sight unseen with a lot more damage but I let a good mechanic I know do it for 2500€ without paint was 1000€ but I drive it daily and love it very much I also having plans to go on a road trip with it so don’t scare you away with the damage it’s not that very much
Just a heads up; when Copart lists a car as an "Enhanced Vehicle", it means that it has already had an attempted repair on it, and will be "dressed up" to look better than it is
thank you for the Information much appreciated .
That moment you find someone on youtube who gets ripped off and still is this positive... That's the moment you know you have found gold 🔥
i agree and something to follow :) looking forward to this
Matt has big balls. That’s all I’m saying. A big project this is!
And Hannah has a hot arse. Match made in heaven!
Part it out and start again mate you could be in for a world of pain with this one
Apparently they’re prone to need engine rebuilds
Pain, money and financial loss.
@@MrTwister86660 think the words get out while you still can comes to mind , think head bolts are a week point
@@MrTwister86660 head bolts snapping and top end problems were problems with early m156 engines, they ironed out most of the problems by 2014.
It should be a reliable car once its sorted out.
@@tolsonryan hopefully. I’ve always wanted one 🤤
Mat.. you're a breath of fresh air.. Listening to the problems with that C63 and still remain so upbeat about it all.. just puts a smile on my face.. Will continue to stay tune.. and hope you get the car on the road for your other half..
That’s what makes this channel! Matts positivity and the ability to just get it done. This content will make this channel!
Just enjoy the fix and show some love!
Kudos for giving it a go but personally I wouldn't bother. It's a breaker.
Just watched a whole 30 second advert just ‘cos I think you will need every penny you can get for this
There's a special place in hell for the person who dressed it up, prove them wrong Matt, can't wait to follow this build!
The frame is the first thing you check when buying a crashed car.
@@RadioactiveSaddam which is obviously super easy to do when buying a car online
Fair play for posting Mat. Others might not upload, hide, ignore or try to give back etc. Your openness is who you are and don't change. Good luck with this project.
With your energy and enthusiasm you’ll turn it into a win. Already looking forward to the varying stages. Keep up the good work.
Facts...
A lot of those copart cars look like stolen insurance write offs, used as getaway cars, unfortunately the damage goes deep on those cars, like my sons stolen golf r
Im already looking forward for it to be wrapped 🤣
Step 1: like the video
Step 2: watch the video
Literally everytime
So true 🙈🙈
Like before you start so you don’t forget at the end!
Respect to you for being honest. You seem to know what you are doing and yet even you got stung!!! A good learning lesson for anyone who thinks it's easy to do what you do.
Your positivity is such a blessing to watch, especially during these times. Keep on trucking Matt.
I'd be more worried about my missus driving around in it once its "repaired" than the cost of the job doing it.
I’ve driven worse don’t worry
@@HannahSmith i couldn't do it. but looking forward to the incoming content.
As long as it’s done properly it’ll be fine
More peace of mind fixing it yourself you know its done properly than letting someone or somewhere else do it, someone already tried dressing that car up to make it look better too many cowboys out there
I enjoy these videos of yours Mat, you're so positive about everything! Love the editing too, the timelapses, the cuts and all the rest- would you mind me asking are you doing the video editing yourself or are you outsourcing it?
In any case, I really respect what you're doing. Is that right that you are not car technician yourself? You're only learning by taking the subsequent cars apart and then rebuilding them again?
Can’t wait for this. I had a 120d and watched your whole series on that and now I’ve just brought a c250cdi amg so will be watching all of these for sure!!!
Someone’s tried to fix it realised it’s ducked and flipped it on to someone who won’t suspect.
Like a mug punter....
Absolute pricks
Too much of it happens on co-part
Think your spot on here! The crash bar would at least have some rust etc...
No! Someones bought that to doctor up to sell on.
Never buy crash damaged cars unless its direct from the insurance company.
I’m also annoyed that someone’s mugged Matt off with this car with the hidden damage!
Copart surely knew this car was set up to rip someone off?
I’m so looking forward to seeing (and hearing) this beast repaired. Keep up the great work mate!
Looking forward to this one. Appreciate the transparency from you on your lesson. I imagine a lot of auto you tubers would bury this fact. Should be a great learning curve and if you pull it off it can open doors to new bigger projects. Good luck 👍
This is a massive project Mat and no better man to take it on...this is going to be so interesting to watch as you progress..bodywork of this nature is so specific and I will be so interested to see how the process of realignment actually works. Keep them rolling out and make sure Hannah helps too 😊 it is going to be her car after all 😄
I wouldn’t let my Mrs drive that after it’s repaired, Im sure it can be fixed but naaaa!!
Nice one Mat, I’ll look forward to seeing this project. Love these cars.
You have amazing positivity and I’m constantly surprised on the way you attack problems head on! I’m excited to see what you do with this build, I know it will be awesome 💪🏼🤙🏼😎
4:50 is that the maserati widebody kit
No that’s Hannah’s butt mate ffs 😂😂🤦🏻♂️
@@PetePhillipsDrums brilliant
@@PetePhillipsDrums 🤣
Iv seen loads worse on the jig mate, you’ll sort that no problem
Thanks for the video, and inspiration!
I like to do DIY on the family cars, I thought cleaning, repairing scratches on the paintwork, buffing and removing rust under body of the suv/van are big job until I saw your channel.
I admire your determination and motivation on fixing the Mercedes Sports Car. Thanks again and i just subscribed.
Hi from Singapore!! Love watching your vids been following you since a while ago. Thank you for doing another Merc, it might not be easy but I am sure you can do it!!! Love the white seats on the C63 AMG!! Can't wait to see more!!!
I hope you have a sponsor for the AMG parts. This one will be expensive.
Always remember, "Everything is impossible until someone does it."
Good luck mate
They also say everything is fixable if your have enough cash
Did your attitude is awesome, you’re always smiling and I love cars so I really enjoy watching these. C63 has always been a dream car of mine I can’t wait to see this done.
Kudos to you matt for still cracking on and staying positive! Love it! One question which I would love to know please...what is your camera set up for your videos? I'm thinking about starting a channel and your videos come our great! Would love to know. Peace
It’s a scrapper Matt. Wash your hands , lesson learned and move on.
You know what's cooler than a shagged C63? Hop whips
daaaammm it keep forgetting 😂
Excited to see what you do with this one Mat. Sending positive vibes. You'll smash it!
Can't wait to see you work on this build, been with you since the TT. You've come a long way I know you're going to knock this one out of the park.
car was last listed on eBay for 14,999 for anyone curious
Been Doctored up - fair play for staying positive...I know I’d get shut of it
hell yeah man i love your optimism! cant believe those buggers. I did buy a 2014 tl for $5400.00 Canadian with lots of hail damage. Looking forward to rebuild that as well. Its all about the journey and experience, money comes after!
Your enthusiasm and positivity is remarkable. W ish I would have the balls to do what u do/did to get to this point. where u can even start such a project because u want to. Awesome. all the best
This is going to be great content Matt and that is the reason we are all here. For you and Hanna and the genuine, real world style that you bring, not fake, not over produced, just great content from a real person in a real world, even for Aussies.
I've said it before but this is the most entertaining channel for cars on CZcams.
Matt 100% hats off to you. You energy and positive attitude is infusions.. be watching this 👍🏼👍🏼
A scary project and fair play to you for giving it a go. Your ambition to get it back on the road is why we are all here, remember all those people leaving negative comments will be watching with intent to see you fail. Prove them wrong Mat!!! Looking forward to seeing this beast in the road
He is literally the Roman Atwood of cars. He somehow managed to keep so positive over everything! Truly a skill not many have!!!
Me: Big lad, that's a parts only motor.
Matt: Challenge accepted.
Best of luck with the build! I think it’s an exciting project to watch 👌 great content and good positive attitude!
I love your enthusiasm. I look forward to seeing the transformation!
Bloody hell, that would be returned straight away Matt. That's going to cost you a fortune mate..
If he’s bought from copart it doesn’t work like that 🙄🤦♂️🤣
@@sprocket-YT sorry mate, I didn't know that...👍 its still goni cost him a fortune though
Break it and cut your losses pal, either that or send it out to Arthur tussik 🤣
I was going to say there's a lot of people in UK who cam do it but then realised it will probably be cheaper for him to send it to Lithuania get it fixed and return it back and still save money.
A walk in the park for Arthur 👍🇱🇹
Yes, stay positive and keep up what your doing making interesting builds and videos!!
Mat, I've only watched one video from your channel a while back about BMWs and never watched any other. But CZcams suggested this video and I'm glad it did, the positivity and energy you have dispite the headache that car probably gave made me subscribe to your channel. Keep going forward and have no regrets 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼😁
Mat: everything is misaligned and bent!!
Vtuned: Nothing to complicated...
😅😅
haha yes ! people saying this project is huge and cant be done dont have a clue
The person who never made mistakes made nothing at all
PMA.
Your videos are so addictive. Sat up till 3am watching them. Made me feel confident and motivated in getting my converted transit LWB Hightop sorted once and for all.
I bought a 18 Q5 at copart and the exact same thing happened.
If you copy and past the VIN in to google you have to look and search, but you will find THE OG pictures. This happens all the time.
This is what gives rebuilt cars a bad name. Glad to see your staying positive.
Step 1: This car is a death trap so get your money back.
Step 2: Don’t put your girlfriend in danger.
Step 3: Buy your girlfriend a straight C63 AMG as you can afford it!
I agree with you, many structural damages
I agree he's just being a tight ass with his money
@@tonio6261 he’s gonna make more money making vids on the car
Strip it for parts. Get some money back and get another project. Its never gonna be right 😪
I watched your channel when you did the tt then missed everything up about 6 months ago so I'm still catching up and really love your videos, I really wanna start doing cars again once I get a job so getting inspiration from you 😊
LOVE your spirit and energy,bruv! Love your vids as well so KEEP IT UP!
That's a death trap, A job for Arthur Tussik
have you also heard the phrase .. "You can't polish a turd" ?
PRECISELY, you took the words right out my mouth 😂
But you can roll it in glitter🤣
And you can’t make a silk purse out of a pigs ear 😂
looking forward to watching this progress. Good on you for taking on this big challange.
Dude, if you can rebuild this bent patchwork C63 you will go down in Automotive YoutTube history as an absolute ledgend ! Best of luck I will be looking forward to watching every week to see your progress. Your channel is by far the most addictive and inspiring one out there atm
My first advice when buying a car is don’t buy from Birmingham
Can vouch for that
Very true although this one was from london
I'm from Birmingham, and even me and my family don't buy from here. 97% of the cars here have been ragged, not looked after and been through more owners than a corner worker.
I’m a brummie and even I agree with that!
I agree 100%
This could be your best project yet!
Man I love the positive attitude. The car books around 35k (US Dollars) and only paying half that seems like good deal only if 10k or less is put back in to fix and is safe. Any time I see a vehicle at auction that has the keys and in the highlights it doesn't say runs and drives or engine starts or an X on hood to indicate hood is stuck closed usually there's an issue and somebody is being fraudulent. It is always best to run the vin and check to see if its been in auction before to catch things like this if checking in person in not an option. Its always nice to have that money back, but its also nice having that gratification helping others learn from your experience so they know what to look for and knowing you fixed something that not a lot of people believe that you can or even should do. Good luck I hope all goes well.
I really like how positive you always are my friend. Keep it that way and never back down! 👍
That's definitely been through a dodgy unit in Birmingham somewhere. Just imagine how many cars like this are actually on the road it's frightening
That cars definitely from up north
@T om let’s not pull the race card out mate 😭 only if your talking about Birmingham you can 😂
This car was listed for 15 grand on ebay by a seller called sd trading up untill last month
Oh god id cry with laughter if he's paid anymore than 5 grand for it
@@Repcitykickz A 6.2 AMG engine alone sells for 7K, with lower mileage (like this one in the vid) probably even more.
@@bruciekibbutz4698 yeah and the engine is probably no good in this one. Hoses missing belts missing if its just crash damage why are they missing.
I know how much the cars are worth ive just paid 26k for one
@urbex2007 exactly I guess he can't like his gf too much buying her that in that condition
yes there well known for bodgin cars and sellin on , this is one of theres for sure
Love your vids bro you’re positive outlook is admirable
I used to drive an S-Class as a Taxi, I used to do a few repairs myself, Beer income with a Champagne taste.
I suspect this is also a modular design, where you can basically just buy new parts and refit them as needed.
You are lucky to be doing this in the UK, in Germany you can't send or even fit airbags yourself unless you are a ``Meister´´ mechanic.
Airbags are classed as explosives.
A double garage where I live, big enough to do repairs is about the same as renting a flat, buying a garage is about the same as some houses in the UK, very frustrating.
Great video channel!
It is now 11,00am and the emergency warning sirens are going off!
You’ll be spending 6 years and 3 months fixing that boyo
😂😂😂
She wanted something cheap to run
Matt: I got her 6.3L c63 AMG 🤣🤣🤣
Keep up the Great work... I can't wait to see this build finished
Good effort, this would be way past my limit. Can’t wait to see how you get on. Hopefully we’ll see some great companies step up and give you a leg up.
I think Hannah must be the only person that hates the words 'I've brought you a car' because she knows what it will look like at the start.
Hot water and a plunger should fix the bent frames😂
Good luck with this one Mat, loved the videos so far and this one’s going to be a challenge for sure
subbed because i just got 2014 C63 with light front end damage and this popped up. wheel was bent back but it was just a control arm! I hope you go into detail on parts because mine just hit my friend’s body shop after 2 months of ebay part searching, but i’m sure i’m missing things on the front end. Can’t wait to see you finish this build and learn to do whatever i’m missing
Leave well alone mat!!!
Imagine in 6 months time if Hanna cops out, you won't be able to live with yourself man.... Just toooo
Many unknowns here 🍋🍋
Mat: *Uploads a video*
Me: "Ah cool another Car vid"
Mat: *Video Ends*
Me : 😩
Can’t wait 💪🏽 love watching rebuilds on my car
I applaud your positivity mate, keep going. Its sad when people cover up issues like this but just makes the job satisfaction greater in the end👍
I just bought the wife a Corsa. We watched this and asked why I'm a cheap duck and don't buy her stuff like this 😂
I hope what she bringing to the table is worth even a Corsa..
Damn even the Tyres would also worry me who puts cheap Tyres on a C63!
Good luck to you Mat, keep them coming mate you're doing a fine job.
Your attitude is awesome, positive vibes, I salute you Mat
Has no one else noticed he said it’s a 6.3 litre 😭 come on Matt, with your knowledge of cars you should know it’s a 6.2 😂
That car has had its day, will never be 100% straight again with that amount of frame damage
It's great to see you get out your depth and swim to the surface. This is going to give some brilliant content over the next few months! Keep the faith Mat! It's always darkest before dawn.
Its the fun part of buying salvage motors .
Recently bought a focus off copart took delivery of it opened the bonnet and it had a 4x2 plank of wood straight through bumper and damaging the loom
