Anyone not understanding car body work won’t really understand the amount of time and skill that went into this 25 mins doesn’t give this justice amazing work really. 😊
I don't understand car body work, but I do understand how much work and craftmanship went into this. I can't really estimate the ammount of time it really took, but I can tell it was long.
The lower floor beams are made of high strength steel - this is not something you easily cut or drill... When you got problems to drill and need multiple drills, it is most likely high strength steel. Refering spotwelding, be careful - the spotweld quality and fatigue performance depends on multiple factors. Depending on the steel grade, sheet thickness and layers you have to adjust the voltage and pressure during spotwelding. It influences also the spot diameter and its depth. However crazy and impressive what you are doing .... respect

@@Lamster66 £500k?! Hollmann International has been trying to sell a Mansory Wraith for ages for £369,000. It's a 2021, but it's not a damaged vehicle rebuilt with old parts and a rear quarter from a Wraith that's been underwater.

Matt, I am 60 and my father had it’s own garage , so I grew up in a garage. I have seen my father cut up cars and weld them back together, but NOT a frigging £ 700.000 Rolls Royce, let alone two of them!! I am wondering whether you sort get used to being around expensive cars, but boy you have a set of balls to cut up a car like this. I have watched every episode on your channels and every time again you take it to the next level. My dad has passed now, but he would have bowed to you. Cheers from the Netherlands.
Hey, Matt. I wanted to thank you for the work you do and let you know the impact you have for normal folks. My brother is dying from cancer just now at 41 years old. In his final months and weeks, we'd spend many nights watching your videos, and sometimes, it would be the highlights of our days. You've reached a lot of people, but i dont know if you've ever realised what your content can create for people. Thanks for the memories 👍
Sorry to hear about your brother. I agree completely. No other channel has ever made me laugh when I'm down or make me feel better when I see how well they all work together as a family. Sending love, compassion and prayers to help your family. I pray for your brothers healing.

From someone that lost their dad this year, can I just say how awesome Tony is, hilarious with great energy and gets stuck in. Absolute Dad goals. appreciate him Matt. Much love from Dorset Uk.
That quarter work is outstanding. I love that they are old school and used lead. Not many guys anymore know the art of working lead into a seam. My uncle is a master body man, he worked lead for years and years.. great to see, really wonderful.
It's just not economical to do that in most cars these days. Before you get to that stage the car has already been scrapped. Unless you are talking about these overpriced, overcompensating cars...
One of the very few channels where I can watch a 25+ min video and be caught off guard when it ends and be left wanting more. Can't wait to see this one finished, you've done such an awesome job so far!
I did lead/zinc filling when I was 19 and still an apprentice on North Thames gas Board 52 years ago. It was my hobby and did my Ford MK1 GT no bondo on it and saw it many years later still rust free. You can’t beat Metal filler. Well done body guys and Mat for saving this beautiful Rolls!👏👍
This Lead Technique lost favour due to the toxicity of fumes given off during working it (Health and safety regs etc), Plastic based Bondo type filers were easier applied and safer (although as mentioned they have their draw backs through time)

No one today is willing to pay the labor intensive costs behind these trades jobs, that’s the real issue. Today, everyone just scraps everything and buys new replacement parts or new items altogether. Unfortunately, these old trades professions can’t survive for this reason.
Added problem is the public's perception of these kinds of repairs. It's pretty much as safe as from the factory when welded correctly but people are still convinced it's less safe and stay away.
@lillexus5589 you're referring to the keyboard warriors and keyboard repair professionals. All they do is sit behind the keyboard and determine what professionals should do
When I watched a program on Discovery about the Rolls Royce plant more than 10 years ago, they talked about mega robots that weld the roof on both sides at the same time so that it does not warp. And now a couple of dudes in the garage are doing the same thing...
Watching this video has raised my anxiety levels. When i was in my in my teens and 20s i worked on body repairs and did all the prep for panels to be welded by the boss, the work going into this quarter replacement... WOW. Can't wait to see the cost breakdown for all this work.
Tony is a legend, he typifies an era of wearing free stuff to your work(presuming Mat gives him the merch free anyways) always involved in the real grind of any fix, loved this episode, so happy the car is a mix of the 3 cars as that is what the story of the Mansory is all about.
Watching you work with your dad is so lovely to see. It makes me feel less lonely as my dad passed away a year ago. I was very close with my dad and we ran a shop together, too. Keep it up you two! (And the team too, of course!) Can't wait for the next video.
Why do I feel like you don’t upload every week anymore. What have you done to make me keep checking if Mat Armstrong has uploaded a video and Iv missed it again 😂!!
The projects are becoming consistently more complicated, and more expensive. The fact that we're still getting long, high quality videos, just about twice a week, is still insane
To be honest...these are the repairs I love to see...this is almost artistry....getting it back perfect...that's why I also love Yorkshire Car Restoration videos....
Best advert ever for the guys at the body shop, haven't seen work like that done for years, proper old school lead/zinc filling that will last for ever. After this I know the body shop guys are the real deal and once painted that car is going to look 100% factory correct.
@@schrodingerscat1863 When Rolls-Royce were using it they paid out £millions in lead defect related repairs. It used to be necessary on older cars because of the poor standard of the Pressed Steel Fisher bodies to correct panel gaps and fill joins. Lead doesn't flex in the same way steel does and movement in the shell caused leaded areas to crack where body flex was concentrated. The upper rear 1/2 to roof joint was one such area and production changes saw this changes from a lead filled lap joint to a gas flux-brazed joint which you can see in this video. Where lap joints are filled with lead they quickly begin to corrode as the first step uses an acid flux tinning compound. This is wiped off however it permeates the join through capillary action. If you were to lead an area today, when you come back tomorrow, all surrounding bare metal will have a thin layer of corrosion on it unless the area in neutralised. While wiping the lead to shape it, tallow is used and this remains in any areas of porousity. No matter how much you clean the finished area the tallow can find it's way to the surface later causing blisters in the paint. The best way to offset this by using a layer of plastic filler over it which calls into question whether lead was ever needed. Lead has it's uses, this example was not one of them.
@@byteme9718 Ok but it's still being applied as it would have been back in the day which is what I was talking about. They know what they are doing, old skills like this are rare to find now. Also the reason to use lead in the first place is not to get filler settling over time leaving hollows in the finish. That isn't such an issue these days with modern epoxy fillers of course.
@@schrodingerscat1863 Fillers don't settle when used correctly. P & A Wood carry out the best Rolls-Royce restorations in the world and it's common to see most of the surface of a car skimmed with filler because they level the surface without settling while paint systems do. I've told you how it was "back the day" but feel free to believe what these clowns say and do. THIS car would not have used lead so why used a poor product from a previous era? You don't have clue and these guys are way out of their depth. The insurance company should have had the car crushed to prevent it being returned to the road in a substandard condition. The change in plan regarding the wheel arch is almost certainly because Rolls-Royce wouldn't sell it. I've worked in the official dealer network for many years and travelled the world putting right other people's cock ups. I've tried to educate you regarding just a few problems lead causes, if you don't want to learn that's your choice.
Wow these vids just keep getting bigger, more bolder in what you are attempting and better as you keep doing the jobs and solving the problems! You've encouraged so many people to have a Go at fixing things on their cars, including me! Awesome thanks guys for giving all of us courage as well! Phil
Great to see, Someone still use lead. When i was little. Watch my grandpa for hours, using lead on cars. He was a artist with lead ... Damm, memories like this. That make me miss him... 😢
Hi Matt, great video. The sight of the lead filling reminded me that in 1979 as part of my supervisory training I was in charge of the materials handling section of the Rolls Royce BIW (body in white)building at the Pressed Steel factory in Cowley, Oxford. It was said that each Rolls Royce body that left the plant for either Crewe or occasionally Mulliner Park Ward contained at least 76Lbs of lead. So the little bit you used is not going to make much difference. It was used to ensure that all door shuts were the right size and that all external joints filled like you did. Keep up the videos.
würden sie ihren Segen über dieses Projekt geben , da sie anscheinend eine Führungskraft waren in ihrem Bereich .ich finde es erstaunlich welche Größe dieses Projekt angenommen hat und ich weis das dies nicht auf leichte Schultern genommen wird oder sollte weil dies sonst Lebensgefahr bedeutet . Also was sagen sie dazu ?
This why I watch this channel ... not for the holidays or house tours the cars are what its all about for me. keep up the good work & stay humble bro. 👊
My highlight of this video was Tony standing on top of Agnes with the Stihl saw, hacking away at a Rolls Royce whilst wearing his white lab coat, full ‘mad professor’ look!!!! I had to rewind and replay that three times!
The work in getting this rear quarter fitted must never be underestimated. The man hours and skill set are unbelievable. Well done to the body shop. And of course Tony. Fantastic video Mat and team. 😊👍
I am a Kenyan, a Manchester United fan and a silent viewer and a subscriber who feels motivated by Mat and team for what they do. Being a film editor I can say he got the skills for editing his own videos. Lovely❤
Not many people can take on a project like this. You've done so and you've brought so many skilled people together to also participate in this one of a kind project. Loving your work. Can't wait to see the new paint go on.
Those welders are like surgeons. What an amazing join from what looked like an impossible task. Great post!! Just can't wait to see what colour you're going for!
Rashford definitely wasn't telling the truth about how fast he was going when he crashed that. And backed up by a driving ban for doing 104mph on the m60. 😂
Alot of crafts manship, years of experience and a ton of hard work has gone into this car and still needs work but congrats Mat on how far you've come, can't wait to see this car on the road
Your repairs are becoming scarier every project 🤣, can't believe what you are now confident to take on and problem solve..... definitely one of my favourite videos of late , top job as always 👍🏻
Hi Matt, I am a Mexican living in Canada and I am a big fan of your videos, but I have to tell you that your dad is such a wonderful man. Cheers to your dad!. As a father I would love to be the same with my kids as he is with you.
This is highly impressive, you don't just do work that look good, you could have cut so many corners and still make it look great and yet, you pick the hard road. Huge respect for the whole team!
I love Matt's videos because half way through watching i'm like "nahhh i'd never do that, these guys are crazy!" and then they do it and it turns out amazing and i'm in awe of their motivation and determination! Keep it up lads!
Cracking job Matt. Keep up the good work and also the motivation get us all "wrenching everyday"... Just started rebuilding my first ever engine all thanks to you.
Was Tony acting as DOC from back to the future in his white coat, he's just as intelligent, he can turn his hand to most things, and what he can't do, he makes a good impression that he can! Good on you Tony, and working with Matt the way you do is a great example to all. Thank you Matt & Tony.
I love how he goes the extra mile with quality in all his builds. It’s also nice to see mat learning something new aswell. I look forward to sitting and watching his videos every week!🔥❤️
Meh as far as repairs go he's pretty mediocre compared to the actual big shops. I doubt anyone will buy this car for even 1/6 of it's original value after seeing the mess he's made of it.
@@theairaccumulator7144 Some of your big shops should watch this, and learn some stuff. Most of repairs are done like they should, about what kind of mess are you even talking ? 🤡
@@theairaccumulator7144 for saying how big of a job it is replacing that whole rear panel and the effort he’s going to to salvage what he can on the car hes doing more than a mediocre job in my opinion, he’s making sure it’s all done as OEM as possible.
@@THEFRYATT12plug welding instead of simply replacing the glue and rivets where the quarter meets the sill is hardly OEM nor is it a recognised repair by RR. There is a reason that section is glued and riveted where it meets the sill and by mig welding (plug welds) the heat can and will weaken that area of the ultra high strength steel (this being the sill) you’re welding to. MiG welding UHSS or boron steel is a big no no.
Amazing job, I have a friend that is a painter and he has a guy that does this kind of work. I have seen a GTR that was cut in half to make one good one and the craftsmanship is so unreal I would never imagine making 2 bad cars into one car with no visual sign of previous body work. Labor of love.
Your production and editing are simply awesome. Your most recent videos have been masterclass in storytelling. Keep up the great work 10M subs just around the corner
My Father used to lead car panels in the 70’s still has his tools . Amazing to see how seamless the technique is and how invisible it becomes after a good paint finish .
Hey Mat, I hope you'll see this and read it. 1st, I can not thank you enough for all the hard, smart, and genuineness of your work. You've reached millions of people all over the world, and you're changing people's lives -for good- of course! 2nd: You inspired me to buy a crashed car and rebuild as my personal daily driving car (2016 Subaru Legacy 2.5i, 1 year now, I've put around 28K miles on, and it runs very smoothly). 3rd: I think I have an idea of how much work one part could take, even for an experienced lad. The way you're going is lethal and could have some serious effects on your health. I don't want you to be in that position. Please, do consider giving yourself and the team good balance. A 25-minute video might seem not too long, but if people understand how much time you'll need to put on it; they'll excuse you for not uploading for a while. If you have to, or whoever you need it; trust me, mate, your health really truly matters the most. This is the only joy that's left for me..... Be safe, be well.... Greetings from the US to the whole team 🎉 Cheers 🍻

What a monumental task! That might have been one of the most labor-intensive chassis jobs ever done on CZcams and also on a Rolls Royce ever. Also impressive, the craftsmanship of the workshop there.

I take off my hat to you all from one car manufacturer's country (ger) to another. What a job. Jesus. Well done.
I came across this project by chance. I've been watching every episode just to see the end result... Im not even a petrol head but these guys are very talented in what they do...great work
I use to not be so keen on your vids as they use to give the wrong impression of the trade I love. It's really good to see you are working with panel beaters and painters and explaining the work in more detail as well as the costs. I get customers still thinking a respray is £500-£1000, will be done in 8h and win best of show at SEMA because its easy as they have seen it on CZcams.
Do you get feeling Matt could rebuild a crashed Boeing 747 after watching this.? Amazing work, fantastic content. Body shop guys are also more than a bit handy!
I use that Stihl 14 inch demo saw and I also use a husqvarna 16 inch rail saw for cutting rail work in transit Mta, Long Island railroad, Metro North etc. etc. for every like this comment gets, I will make rail paperweights and if you guys want, I’ll send them out
It came along so well Mat it's just beautiful the way the team dad and the bodyshop cranked on and here it be the beast before paint. I am so excited for the paint job now can't wait to see what it turns out to look like finished but if I know you it will be spectacular mate well done.
I’ve got to say it, you are my favourite CZcamsr and I honestly love watching your journey I’ve watched since the car park days ❤ proud of your bro hopefully you’ll inspire the next generation too

G'day Matt and gang from Australia 🇦🇺. It's great to see that you doing a professional job with doing it the way it should be done 👏 I used to have a panel beating shop in my younger days and now only do my own work on my own cars and some families cars . I have two Chevrolet Camaros A 1979 and 1980 Z28 that I've been working on for a few years. I'm helping my son inlaws dad with his 1970 Z28 Camaro that he has had since he was in his 20s we decided to replace the 2 rear quarters as they had only small amounts of rust that could have been fixed with just a few small patches but decided to go the full quarters Ots a bg job but at at least we know that's its been done right Keep up the great work and thanks for taking us along with on your journey to car heaven. Much love to you all from Australia and stay safe 🇦🇺 ❤️

@@byteme9718 Ok but it's still being applied as it would have been back in the day which is what I was talking about. They know what they are doing, old skills like this are rare to find now. Also the reason to use lead in the first place is not to get filler settling over time leaving hollows in the finish. That isn't such an issue these days with modern epoxy fillers of course.
@@schrodingerscat1863 Fillers don't settle when used correctly. P & A Wood carry out the best Rolls-Royce restorations in the world and it's common to see most of the surface of a car skimmed with filler because they level the surface without settling while paint systems do. I've told you how it was "back the day" but feel free to believe what these clowns say and do. THIS car would not have used lead so why used a poor product from a previous era?
You don't have clue and these guys are way out of their depth. The insurance company should have had the car crushed to prevent it being returned to the road in a substandard condition. The change in plan regarding the wheel arch is almost certainly because Rolls-Royce wouldn't sell it.
I've worked in the official dealer network for many years and travelled the world putting right other people's cock ups. I've tried to educate you regarding just a few problems lead causes, if you don't want to learn that's your choice.
Wow these vids just keep getting bigger, more bolder in what you are attempting and better as you keep doing the jobs and solving the problems! You've encouraged so many people to have a Go at fixing things on their cars, including me! Awesome thanks guys for giving all of us courage as well! Phil
Great to see, Someone still use lead. When i was little. Watch my grandpa for hours, using lead on cars. He was a artist with lead ... Damm, memories like this. That make me miss him... 😢
Hi Matt, great video. The sight of the lead filling reminded me that in 1979 as part of my supervisory training I was in charge of the materials handling section of the Rolls Royce BIW (body in white)building at the Pressed Steel factory in Cowley, Oxford. It was said that each Rolls Royce body that left the plant for either Crewe or occasionally Mulliner Park Ward contained at least 76Lbs of lead. So the little bit you used is not going to make much difference. It was used to ensure that all door shuts were the right size and that all external joints filled like you did. Keep up the videos.
würden sie ihren Segen über dieses Projekt geben , da sie anscheinend eine Führungskraft waren in ihrem Bereich .ich finde es erstaunlich welche Größe dieses Projekt angenommen hat und ich weis das dies nicht auf leichte Schultern genommen wird oder sollte weil dies sonst Lebensgefahr bedeutet . Also was sagen sie dazu ?
Matt your dad's a rockstar, I wish I had this with my father. Always enjoy your videos man, well done.
This why I watch this channel ... not for the holidays or house tours the cars are what its all about for me. keep up the good work & stay humble bro. 👊
My highlight of this video was Tony standing on top of Agnes with the Stihl saw, hacking away at a Rolls Royce whilst wearing his white lab coat, full ‘mad professor’ look!!!! I had to rewind and replay that three times!
The work in getting this rear quarter fitted must never be underestimated. The man hours and skill set are unbelievable. Well done to the body shop. And of course Tony. Fantastic video Mat and team. 😊👍
Wish I still had my Dad to do projects with me. Like your Dad he was an amazing and clever bloke. Have fun and give hugs to him mate.
the craftmanship, determination and the dedication in fixing this Rolls is just awesome. Cannot wait to see it finish :)
I am a Kenyan, a Manchester United fan and a silent viewer and a subscriber who feels motivated by Mat and team for what they do. Being a film editor I can say he got the skills for editing his own videos. Lovely❤
what is a silent viewer?

Not many people can take on a project like this. You've done so and you've brought so many skilled people together to also participate in this one of a kind project. Loving your work. Can't wait to see the new paint go on.
Those welders are like surgeons. What an amazing join from what looked like an impossible task. Great post!! Just can't wait to see what colour you're going for!
Rashford definitely wasn't telling the truth about how fast he was going when he crashed that. And backed up by a driving ban for doing 104mph on the m60. 😂
Now I understand why this video took so long to come out. Respect 👏🏼
huge respect to Mat and his associates! most people even the insurance company will never think of fixing that but dammmmmmmn awesome progress so far
WOW! I'm in Cleveland, Ohio great work. I have not seen or heard of lead body work for over 50 years, since I was a kid. Excellent craftsmanship.
Alot of crafts manship, years of experience and a ton of hard work has gone into this car and still needs work but congrats Mat on how far you've come, can't wait to see this car on the road
Your repairs are becoming scarier every project 🤣, can't believe what you are now confident to take on and problem solve..... definitely one of my favourite videos of late , top job as always 👍🏻
It's amazing how much damage you can do in a 30mph crash.......
They’ve done more without even moving! 😂🤣
30 mph my arse 😅
He was definitely speeding
Gotta take into account the speed of the other car too..... 30 + 30 = 60 and now you have serious damage.
@@RosaSoccer2016 ähm, no! That‘s not how physics works…. :)
Tony is always such a joy to see on the channel. First-class work and top-notch welding. Really well done.
Truly look up to you Mat, really enjoy the content!
Hi Matt, I am a Mexican living in Canada and I am a big fan of your videos, but I have to tell you that your dad is such a wonderful man. Cheers to your dad!. As a father I would love to be the same with my kids as he is with you.
Wow! You have Mexicans in Canada now. Are you on the east or west coast?
This is highly impressive, you don't just do work that look good, you could have cut so many corners and still make it look great and yet, you pick the hard road. Huge respect for the whole team!
I love Matt's videos because half way through watching i'm like "nahhh i'd never do that, these guys are crazy!" and then they do it and it turns out amazing and i'm in awe of their motivation and determination! Keep it up lads!
Cracking job Matt. Keep up the good work and also the motivation get us all "wrenching everyday"... Just started rebuilding my first ever engine all thanks to you.
Was Tony acting as DOC from back to the future in his white coat, he's just as intelligent, he can turn his hand to most things, and what he can't do, he makes a good impression that he can! Good on you Tony, and working with Matt the way you do is a great example to all. Thank you Matt & Tony.
I love how he goes the extra mile with quality in all his builds. It’s also nice to see mat learning something new aswell. I look forward to sitting and watching his videos every week!🔥❤️
Meh as far as repairs go he's pretty mediocre compared to the actual big shops. I doubt anyone will buy this car for even 1/6 of it's original value after seeing the mess he's made of it.
@@theairaccumulator7144 Some of your big shops should watch this, and learn some stuff. Most of repairs are done like they should, about what kind of mess are you even talking ? 🤡
@@theairaccumulator7144 Trust me actual big shops cut more corners
@@theairaccumulator7144 for saying how big of a job it is replacing that whole rear panel and the effort he’s going to to salvage what he can on the car hes doing more than a mediocre job in my opinion, he’s making sure it’s all done as OEM as possible.
@@THEFRYATT12plug welding instead of simply replacing the glue and rivets where the quarter meets the sill is hardly OEM nor is it a recognised repair by RR.
There is a reason that section is glued and riveted where it meets the sill and by mig welding (plug welds) the heat can and will weaken that area of the ultra high strength steel (this being the sill) you’re welding to.
MiG welding UHSS or boron steel is a big no no.
Amazing job, I have a friend that is a painter and he has a guy that does this kind of work. I have seen a GTR that was cut in half to make one good one and the craftsmanship is so unreal I would never imagine making 2 bad cars into one car with no visual sign of previous body work. Labor of love.
Amazing craftsmanship! Never seen that lead work in the car industry. Must take some amazing skill. Hats off to them!
It's so great to see a stunning quality workmanship being done.
Going to save this one and watch on the big telly!

Good idea!
@@brandon2103yh man😉❤
Gonna have to do this as well now cheers 🥂
That guy with the singed arm hair when his mates welding is gonna wake up with flash in the morning 🤦♂️ 😂
Better than anything on TV, thank you, one and all.
Tony: I can't wait to enjoy retirement after spending my life as a mechanic!
Matt: Hold my BMX
Mat this video is right on time mate. Just finished a big project in my garage. Nothing like winding down with a Mat video. Cheers!
5:20 Freddy teleports over from Florida everytime someone mentions his name 😂
As a dad of grown up kids I have so much respect for your dad. Top dad.
Congrats mat for all the subs you have and most of all the cars you have rebuilt. Thanks for a great youtube channel and i love your videos❤
Oh man, just finished the Ben Collins Lancia vid and now treated to MORE Mat content? YES!
There's nothing on CZcams that interests me through 2024 rather than watching you rebuild this particular car. You are the best 👌
Absolute credit to you,dad and everyone involved bro.
Hell of a job!💥💪💯💥👏👏👏
Even in a wrecked rolls I would listen to the song “Dupe - Mbappe” 😅
25:11 - We can't wait to see Boney Tony working on the next project 🤣
Your production and editing are simply awesome. Your most recent videos have been masterclass in storytelling. Keep up the great work 10M subs just around the corner
I love these long builds keeps me hanging on to see it finished great work 👍
So happy for you guys. This is so fun to follow. Thank you, as always, for doing what you do. :)
Who else been waiting for the Rolls Royce episode? 😢

Me too
Me like to 🎉for a his good comment l like your thinking 😊

Meee
My Father used to lead car panels in the 70’s still has his tools . Amazing to see how seamless the technique is and how invisible it becomes after a good paint finish .
Hey Mat, I hope you'll see this and read it.
1st, I can not thank you enough for all the hard, smart, and genuineness of your work. You've reached millions of people all over the world, and you're changing people's lives -for good- of course!
2nd: You inspired me to buy a crashed car and rebuild as my personal daily driving car (2016 Subaru Legacy 2.5i, 1 year now, I've put around 28K miles on, and it runs very smoothly).
3rd: I think I have an idea of how much work one part could take, even for an experienced lad. The way you're going is lethal and could have some serious effects on your health. I don't want you to be in that position.
Please, do consider giving yourself and the team good balance. A 25-minute video might seem not too long, but if people understand how much time you'll need to put on it; they'll excuse you for not uploading for a while.
If you have to, or whoever you need it; trust me, mate, your health really truly matters the most.
This is the only joy that's left for me.....
Be safe, be well....
Greetings from the US to the whole team 🎉
Cheers 🍻
You're using the wrong cutting disc on your grinder Matt!! You need to use a 1mm Inox disc to cut any strength metal cleanly! Small tip to you pal! 😁
Wow, move with the times mate, you can get hard metal cutting disks too, please apologise to the you tube world for this comment
1000+ cuts / 30x longer life
Solid metal body for extra safety
Retains diameter whilst in use
Metal max cuts a range of metal materials and lasts up to 30x longer than a standard abrasive wheel, featuring diamond cutting tips and a solid metal body for extra safety, this blade provides 1000+ cuts in metal material

Wow I bet you're real fun at parties
Your dad is the best ❤
What a monumental task! That might have been one of the most labor-intensive chassis jobs ever done on CZcams and also on a Rolls Royce ever. Also impressive, the craftsmanship of the workshop there. Lead-work is one of the most difficult "lost" arts. But then again it's actually no surprise. .GB once had a huge car manufacturing industry. It's in your blood. I take off my hat to you all from one car manufacturer's country (ger) to another. What a job. Jesus. Well done.
Ear protection at the ready! Dad looking like a mad scientist 🤣
PPE when grinding & sanding guys - especially lead! An air-fed system like 3M Versaflo is best. You only get one pair of lungs... ( great vid, BTW )
That's what I was thinking.. !
Circular saw in shorts. Scary.
Your humor is on point, always puts a smile on my face!
This is, hands down, the most impressive, astonishing automotive series on youtube. Project Binky has been dethroned. Soz lads
I came across this project by chance. I've been watching every episode just to see the end result... Im not even a petrol head but these guys are very talented in what they do...great work
Been waiting! Let’s go🇿🇦
I thought I'll be the first South African to comment 😅 🇿🇦
🇿🇦
Mat you are a legend! The level of quality in your repairs is incredible!❤❤❤
I use to not be so keen on your vids as they use to give the wrong impression of the trade I love. It's really good to see you are working with panel beaters and painters and explaining the work in more detail as well as the costs. I get customers still thinking a respray is £500-£1000, will be done in 8h and win best of show at SEMA because its easy as they have seen it on CZcams.
Do you get feeling Matt could rebuild a crashed Boeing 747 after watching this.? Amazing work, fantastic content. Body shop guys are also more than a bit handy!
Now I completely understand why this video took so long nice job Mat!!🙌🏽
I use that Stihl 14 inch demo saw and I also use a husqvarna 16 inch rail saw for cutting rail work in transit Mta, Long Island railroad, Metro North etc. etc. for every like this comment gets, I will make rail paperweights and if you guys want, I’ll send them out
It came along so well Mat it's just beautiful the way the team dad and the bodyshop cranked on and here it be the beast before paint. I am so excited for the paint job now can't wait to see what it turns out to look like finished but if I know you it will be spectacular mate well done.
I’ve got to say it, you are my favourite CZcamsr and I honestly love watching your journey I’ve watched since the car park days ❤ proud of your bro hopefully you’ll inspire the next generation too
Love your videos dude
Watching all the way from Yemen 🇾🇪
Excellent work lad-and-Dad and team and the guys from the workshop. Some amazing craftsmanship there 😎 was such a good watch yet again.
I am really enjoying watching you put this car back together. You and your friends have amazing skill sets.
South Africa come get your popcorn!!! Mat dropped 🔥🔥
AWE
haha jy is reg!
lol ek eet n lekker choppy

You used the wrong disc on the small grinder. You used a masonry disc instead of a steel 1
Seriously do you think these blokes are that dumb?? You need your Mum to ban you off yr phone for a few weeks.

Stop arguing, it’s a Mansory disc obviously 🙄
The narrating on your videos is elite bro, the explanation of everything is so interesting
G'day Matt and gang from Australia 🇦🇺.
It's great to see that you doing a professional job with doing it the way it should be done 👏
I used to have a panel beating shop in my younger days and now only do my own work on my own cars and some families cars .
I have two Chevrolet Camaros
A 1979 and 1980 Z28 that I've been working on for a few years.
I'm helping my son inlaws dad with his 1970 Z28 Camaro that he has had since he was in his
20s we decided to replace the 2 rear quarters as they had only small amounts of rust that could have been fixed with just a few small patches but decided to go the full quarters
Ots a bg job but at at least we know that's its been done right
Keep up the great work and thanks for taking us along with on your journey to car heaven.
Much love to you all from Australia and stay safe 🇦🇺 ❤️
*Larry Burkett's book on "Giving and Tithing" drew me closer to God and helped my spirituality. 2020 was a year I literally lived it. I cashed in my life savings and gave it all away. My total giving amounted to 40,000 dollars. Everyone thought I was delusional. Today, 1 receive 85,000 dollars every two months. I have a property in Calabasas, CA, and travel a lot. God has promoted me more than once and opened doors for me to live beyond my dreams. God kept to his promises to and for me*
There's wonder working power in following Kingdom principles on giving and tithing. Hallelujah!
But then, how do you get all that in that period of time? What is it you do please, mind sharing?
It is the digital market. That's been the secret to this wealth transfer. A lot of folks in the US and abroad are getting so much from it, God has been good to my household Thank you Jesus
Thanks to my co-worker (Michael) who suggested Ms Susan Jane Christy
She gave me the autonomy I need to learn at my own pace and ask questions when I need to she’s so accommodating.
Cutting a Roll Royce feel so wrong....
Great channel.
Not just the skill that you guys have but also the crazy positive mood makes me really enjoying your channel.
Protect your ears,looked like you did not use much protection when you cut the car.
Looking forward to a new great upload soon.🙂👍
Nah man waiting for these next episodes feels like years LOL i need em all out at once
Booom baby! It’s back 😎
