Not one panel on my Porsche 718 Cayman S was salvageable so i have had to strip the full car back and rebuild it from the start. Only problem is Porsche allow you to buy the body panels yet they wont tell you how they fit them in their bodyshop. So it looks as if i will have to figure this one out myself.

Dude! Your energy and content is so infectious. I don't have much with cars but it's just fun to see your journey and how you solve problems. Keep going!
I've watched a lot of rebuild videos. I have to say the editing/story telling of your channel @Mat is probably the best out there. Price breakdown, intro to where the damages are, no wasted footage of watching you walk around...etc
The holes drilled in the edges of the panels allow them to be plug welded, not spot welded. Done correctly they're just as good as spot welds but they're a completely different technique. Great job so far.
question is what is required ill check and let you know
The costs blackboard is genius. It would also be interesting for some of the tougher jobs, like complete dash replacements, to have a timer on screen so we can really sympathise with your hard work!
And the welding costs, or was that buckshee or an IOU. Best way, returning the favours
Just had an idea for the next build. Find the cheapest roadworthy edition of whatever you're building and add that price as a marker to see if the repair costs outweigh the price of the cheapest.
And the outside help ( labour costs) as well... just to account for all the costs...
Matt, I’m not a mechanic or engineer but I love the fact you take something broken and restore it to life. You’re a natural presence behind the camera. Now I just want to see that engine roar when you drive her
I think you should probably have used an impact resistant structural adhesive for the structural bond of the roof panel.
Great video. Really enjoying watching you fix the Cayman.
Brilliant stuff man! Great to see that everything's working on the 718 now. Looking forward to seeing the end product
Very interesting rebuild. Thanks Mat for recording the detail and just as important, how you reached the decisions to take each step. Fascinating.
Got to admire this man for not letting anything faze him and will tackle anything. best car content online. Hopefully we see a murci on here soon mate
What a genuinely nice bloke Mat is.
He actually is culturally appropriating names, and ignorant and stupid as fuck.

I’d be happy to get even half as far as you’ve come Mat, truly an inspiration
yeah. Disassembling would be my part. Reassembling would take me 5 years :-)
Love your presentation. Positive and clear. The car is gorgeous and I’m enjoying the rebuild a lot
I am amazed at the hard challenges you take !!! This and the Aston were way beyond my capacity but you figured them out !!! Cheers mate, great work !!!
But. HE doesn't take them... He just pays people to fix it.. Thats literally why body shops exist.
Honestly mat, your dedication and ability to learn and do is so inspiring. Keep up the amazing work
Love your videos. The pacing and commentary is absolutely perfect. Keep kicking butt!
I absolutely love your channel! You even inspired me to start my own! Can't wait to see this Cayman finished! Keep up the good work mate! Well wishes from the states!
Just started watching a few of your videos this week. Not really into cars but youre just so inspiring in what youre doing and how you got here. Really incredible. My faith in the younger generation is certainly restored when i see ppl like you do these kind of things and how hard you work!. One quick question...Do you count your own time and labour as part of the cost as i see you plough hundreds of hrs into these projects?
"Brand new second hand" always makes me smile 😂. Great content Matt
"Slightly different shade of silver" made me laugh
coming from work to find a Matt notification is somehow a treat for me....keep up with the good work lots of love mate all the way from Zimbabwe
Awsome what you do . You got me loving cars and showed me its important to know hot rebuild or fix a car. And honestly you have motivated to becoming a mechanic like your work is outstanding
Great work pal, these videos put me in a positive mood and make me want to tackle the minor faults on my E39 M5. Keep it up!! 👍🏻
Amazing Mat, no rest for the wicked! Serious challenge this one but confident you'll smash!
Love your videos man, always hyped everytime a new one comes out, keep up the grind❤❤
Have to say you learn so much watching this guy! Top energy and edits are bang on! A proper car guy with a touch of OCD so you know the builds are bang on! Keep it going mate 👍👍
Great work Mat it really is coming along. It is a massive project and you are clearly making progress. Looking forward to seeing the end result.
Bro it takes a legend to take on this 718 I can’t even imagine how much hours have been put in so far, love this content best on CZcams 💯💯
Is he really your brother !!!!! you should try and get in the video be nice to see you as well
@@markthoughtswithukrainemas2072 are you dumb , legit people just call people bro for the sake of it
I love how excited he is in each and every video
Unbelievable, the transformation already Mat, Hat off to you. Love the transparency with you showing what it costs to do this kind of thing also. Brilliant!
What is nice is you give very detailed instructions. Excellent video!
I own a 718, so I've really enjoyed seeing the car's underpinnings. All of your videos have become my newest addiction, and I appreciate your hard work on them as well as the cars, sir!
Great content as usual matt, been watching you from day dot and well done fella 👏 you have come a very long way.
From strength to strength and getting better all the time, good to see you having some luck on this one.....and no headlights problem's.
Takecare.
When I first saw this car I didn't think you could pull it off. Like, where do you start? But seeing the progress you're making is just soo satisfying. Cheers from Bulgaria, Mat.
I was wondering how you would tackle these laser welds on the roof. Realisticly the glue alone would hold on the roof forever. Laser welds on the roofs are used with alot of cars today. One extra benefit is the nice fit n finish and that they are water tight. I hope your glue is as watertight also, I heard it rains alot in the UK :)
Unreal job, it’s coming along well!
- I have a 1986 911 RestoMod-Outlaw. I love almost all Porsches and this Cayman is a hot little car.
- It was Thrilling to see how all of the part come off and go back on especially the roof. Good research on the SECRET how Porsche puts the roofs on. I never want to do what you do but I love - learning things in and your present all of this in a light hardy way
-I think you rushed putting on the a/c unit as it has a lot of cap in the fins. Slow down bubba.
-You have the best visuals and presentation of all the car shows I watch. Good on you.
-I liked Mark's shirt VINTAGE Palm Springs. We live in Southern Oregon (12 miles from the California border) .We stayed in Palm Springs this last January for 3 weeks sleeping late, eating good food (we had a place were we could cook are we are both great cooks) and hiking everyday. The temperature was about 65-75F everyday..Go Mark!!

Interesting - All Porsche car start with the key to the right of the steering wheel. Perhaps because you drive on the wrong side of the road (sorry I couldn't help my self I=wit this comment
Excellent work matt, really enjoyed this post it must have taken some hours getting it all lined up cracking work
Hey Mat, I know you don't count your time in the build as part of the cost but perhaps you should capture the one for the folks that you hire to help you (i.e. the welder in this case)? That would make things even more accurate :-) Cheers!
He got paid with exposure lol
The welder guy is old school and doesn't like social media. 😄
Great job Matt. Nice to see this coming together. Have you decided on a colour for this yet?
Always watch your vids with interest. Speaking as a classic car restorer, when you weld through a hole into the existing metal behind to fix your new panels, these are called 'plug welds', spot welds are what the original car had, there was no hole, instead an electrical spot welder clamped the two pieces together and fused them together internally. Keep up the great content. :-)
Great job man!! Porsche is my favorite car brand so I'm always excited to see one get revived!!
Perfectly acceptable way to bond the roof skin on 🤟 use Dynamat for sound deadening, she's coming back from the dead well done 👏👏
The process you used for the roof is actually how GM has for roof panel replacement for vehicles that have the Lazer welded seams. Sounds strange using windshield urethane to structural bond steel.
Modern sealants are amazing. I use a type of Sika flex to build Radomes on ships. It's amazing stuff.
I'm so thrilled to discover this channel. Riveting! Matt is just a lovely guy with such an engaging persona. Thanks for sharing. You are doing a cracking job! 😀👌
I love the safety squints at 4:42. Done a great job lol
This is epic Matt. Your prepared take on jobs professional crash repair centers would avoid and give it a go.Good for you and keep up the excellent work.
Really good - well done Matt. So much labour for 20 mins of content isn't it - but the whole Porsche project is fascinating. Thank you and KEEP GOING MAN ! It's great.
Lovely stuff, man. Can't wait for this build to be completed. Cheers
Technically the welds your doing are ‘plug’ welds, not spot welds. Excellent content, respect for taking on these kinds of tasks 👌
Hope you primed the roof as well as the body for the windscreen glue 🤟🏼🤟🏼
Pretty sure they were priming it with a small sponge.
great to see a update on the Porsche, good job !
Great video. Great build. I’d recommend completely Dynamating the entire underside of the roof for excellent sound proofing. Keeps you a little warmer too! 🤪
Don’t forget to use cavity wax inside all those new panels !
And some weld through primer?
@@roryingram9332 thats all crazy talk i like the cringe factor of people doing this. so what if it rusts out or comes apart if its wrecked again. lol
@@matthewgibbs6886 weld through primer was used 🤣 and everything is sealed up afterwards. I dont film every single thing unfortunately.
@@MatArmstrongbmx Don't get me wrong i like your channel. a few things your door opening pinch weld is supposed to be resistance welded wheel arch is resistance and panel bonded same with the trunk opening. mating area at the roof is butt welded no gusset, the only plug welds are at the bottom took me 2 mins to get the correct repair procedure. i want to see you fix them correctly. I've been doing this 26 years. get the alldata all in one shop online. calling dealers as your aware is futile most. you can also go to oem one stop which will take you to a list of all oems and you can purchase a temp account what ever car your rebuilding it will make your repairs much easier and correct. you'll be able to edit out the hours you'll spend researching the repair its tedious and would make terrible youtube content.
@@matthewgibbs6886 okay bud!
718’s all sound tappety from cold. Great video Mat. Unbelievable progress
Moved to the Midlands from the south 15 years ago and have since met many young men with Matts positive outlook, a few of whom have served in Afghanistan. There is truly hope for this generation.
The engineering of the frame, makes me more keen on the automotive industry. Amazing stuff.
Only God knows how much effort you put into your videos you are a legend Bro can't wait to see how it's gonna turn out💜👍
great work mat! keep on going. looking out to the finish
Absolutely smashing it with this one dude! Good work 👌🏻
Fantastic content as always mate would also love a update on the range just daily use and reliability
Watching your vids is so relaxing, keep it up Mat
This series gets me so gassed! You've come on massively Mat 🔥
That was a tour de force ! When I first saw the crashed car I feared you might drop a lot of money but now I see a low(er) cost entry to 718 ownership - love it.
Looking brilliant so far, but then I never doubted you...... What a motor when it is finished.
You my friend are a wizard . Thanks for MA PT2 👌🏻
Dude, you seem to have a positive attitude. That’s so much fun to watch. Keep it up 👊
Nice to hear a shout out to a 🏉 local business 👍 keep up the amazing content, I wonder what colour your going to paint it!
Hey mat great video as always still loving the Aston tho my favourite car of urs . Just a wee bit of info that might help u the guy was plug welding not spot as completely different weld and is used with a spot machine not a mig and definitely the machine u should have used and also the roof shouldn't be bonded like that as u should use a metal to metal bond for the sides that are lasered and would also fill the gap u have plus all bare metal should be zinc sprayed to help the spot welds and prevent rust just bit of info that might help for future builds cheers .
Loved this. Keep them coming. Can’t wait to see the final product
Mats video’s are compelling viewing because of his sense of humour and honesty. A good egg all round
Excelent work, editing Is beautiful. Spot on mate.
Some good progress made on the car, looks amazing. Seeing different colour panels made me think. Golf harlepuin look for it. One of a kind porsche then.
Looks like it coming along excellently man well done you and the MA team have bought it along way. NICE MAN ❤🎉🎉
Hey Mat! Have been binging your videos for the past month, really love the content. PLEASE MAT, TELL US WHERE YOU GET THE PARTS
Can’t wait see the upgrades you going put on the Porsche. Big thanks to mark helping you , do reckon your vids should be longer
i’ve learnt so much since watching your videos, just want to take the time to say thank you, so cheers mat your a true inspiration👍🏽
Great to see you taking on the Porsche challenge and winning Mat. Looking forward to the next episode!! Oh and also subbed to your MK2 channel.
Well done to you mate. You're growth and dedication is proof, hard work always prevails. 💪
Well done Matt awesome progress 😅 following this build all the way 👊
Top job and a good job well done, I hope you disconnected the battery leads before doing all that welding 🤔 and not spiked any ecu's etc 🙈 but that said it starts and no warning lights 👍
Love these videos.
Always waiting for the next.
Good stuff.
Brilliant video yet again live your enthusiasm 😀
Looking good, I cannot wait to see it when you finish!
Great video Mat! Love the car and the content 💪👍
Love your videos. I don’t watch car videos except yours. I really enjoy seeing the journies of these cars
Keep up the great work. Can’t wait to see the final product !!!
This is better than TV. Look forward to your videos. Keep them coming 👍
I just recently in the past few weeks started watching your videos. Great stuff. Do you ever try and find the previous owners of the cars after you've repaired the cars and see what their reactions would be and ask about the accident etc? It would be some decent content for the channel.
Hey Mat, great video :) Well done so far.
The Cayman, Boxster and 996/997 all "suffer" from a similar design flaw - to do with the radiators and ac condensers. Because they're air-fed from the front, they get all sorts of crap in the ducts. This crud builds up and sits at the bottom of both the rads and condensers. This leads to rot and requires replacement units. (ask me how I know, go on!! :D )
Looking at the AC condenser at about 15 mins in the video, it looks a bit rough around the edges - tell-tale signs of the issue. It *MIGHT* be worth checking while the car has no front end, as it's a bit of a PITA to fix afterwards. FYI, Design911 offer rad kits for about £500 ish (well that was the price for my 911)......
When you put it all back together, it is recommended to put some mesh over the ducts behind the bumper, it will save build-up over time.......
Hope this helps :)
Dan
Amazing work Mat that porshe will be stuning 🔥
Mega progress on this video Mat, great to see 😊
Best channel on you tube, content just keeps getting better and better
I happen to chance upon the first video and now I’m here! GREAT JOB MAT! I absolutely love Porsches!
This is gonna be one of the best project like the Aston I feel personally and I can’t wait for the completion Mat!
Keep up the fantastic work! Such great content!
Very funny the thump on the roof. Mark though is the hero of this piece. Legend!! Thanks for sharing.
