I bought a crash damaged Mercedes C63 W204 & it was cheap... Although rebuilding the AMG is far from cheap. It been very difficult to find second hand parts for so ive had to buy alot from Mercedes directly. I believe the car was involved in some kind of police pursuit before being crashed and evidence in this video backs that up, but making silly mistakes like i did is only going to make the build more expensive.

@@MatArmstrongbmx yes thank you love ur content❤❤
I think I've just seen Liam's S3 on the latest episode of Traffic Cops (S11Ep2) 😂
@@ryant080493 season 11 ain’t that like 8 years old? 😂
Your determination and positivity is such an inspiration!!! Loving the journey the C63 is going through 🖤
Its very inspiring ain't it 😊
🤡🤡👹👈👈
It’s so easy to watch your videos from start to finish without skipping. I’ve been watching so many car channels on CZcams for many years and yours has become my favourite. Awesome content as always 👍
I tried watching Ed China and gave up, always tune in for Matt’s content.
Very true 🙌
Yes certainly watch all the video from start to finish. THe video with your special characters certainly liven up the video, my favourite is the detective lol !
@@twistedl2009 same here ! Mats in a different ball park :)
Incredibly mature and calm attitude to the £300 lesson ... sometimes those expensive lessons are the cheapest in the long run. There's a lot of value to be had from making mistakes!! Great video!
Mat.....you're an inspiration bruv. The balls you have just to crack on and get a motor fixed is something to admire. I've got a Mazda and I brick it just thinking about trying to service it myself.
Keep up your brilliant work Mat!!
Well done Matt ! Amazing progress, there won’t be a car you can’t fix soon with this amazing learning curve you are taking us all on.
Love this build but also very excited if you get that crashed Ferrari next !!!
I just started watching your videos today. I have a few words to describe your work my Matt. You're the man!!! Your technical judgement and your professionalism is amazing! You got a loyal follower forever. Regards from Toronto, Canada, God bless!
Great content as always matt, gives me the confidence to work on my car.
I love watching your videos and progress and what I really enjoy is your commentary during the time lapses. Sets you apart from the rest Matt 👍👍 keep up the fantastic work buddy
Mat. It's amazing how far you have come in such a short time period. Wasn't so long ago you had 3 cars on your driveway and working outside in all weathers. The S5 And Bentley were my fav from that time.
You deserve all your success..
You’re killing it, Matt!
Keep up the hard work, your positivity is contagious 👍🏻
Been watching your channel for a long time now and can honestly say you have come along way. Remember when you were super nervous doing the littlest mod and now your tackling every job with great confidence.. and I’m probably not the only one who checks CZcams daily for the next video.. keep going mat.
Love these videos Mat!
Gave me the confidence to change my throttle body yesterday, something very easy to change but I use to be shit scared of changing anything, even a light bulb... always going to the garage to get it done but now I'm starting to tackle problems by myself and I recommend it to everyone to at least give it ago
Keep it up Mat. I've made mistakes like that before and it's sickening but keep it positive mate. You've learned something and you get to upgrade your wheel 👍
Just love your videos man, working in your little unit, figuring things out as you go along. Pure inspiration
Just the mention of "Dash out" it makes me shiver, most people would moan and complain that the dash has to come out, but you are so positive. Another fantastic video, im really enjoying the C63 re build, - I'm sure it will end up with a super charger ;)
Loving your videos Matt, first started watching for the E46 and have been making my way through your playlists.
With the C63 clock spring, it can be fixed. I done the exact same to mine a few years ago when i had the rack disconnected. Snapped both connectors for the steering wheel controls and airbag.
You can scrape back the the plastic coating on the ribbon cable to expose the bare copper and solder it back on.
It's a bit of work but at the time i could source a used clock spring and a new one was over £500.
Looking forward to the next video. 👍
Whatever about the "car stuff" (which is great in itself), Matt has the CZcams video format down to a T. The pacing in these videos is spot on, and things like the mysterious wrapped package at the end to make people come back and watch the next video.
Hell, this is probably the first time I've ever watched an ad without skipping it, having the ad about what happened to a Ferrari is absolute genius!
Fair play..
Mat, those door glass replacements were textbook. I wouldn’t have done anything different myself… I was an automotive glazing technician for over 10 years and well versed in mechanics. Keep up the great work man. 👊
Matt - you make what you are doing look so easy. You are so talented in what you do. Keep doing a great job and a safe one!
Great content as always Mat, Never get bored of watching you 👌🏽
I was feeling really down today but then I saw that you had uploaded and it helped my mood a lot, I just want to thank you for your positive energy:)
I wasn’t really to big of a fan but after watching watching and watching ur videos mate keep up the good work!!! Love it!!
best car channel out there! watched from start to finish without skipping ones. thnx for the great vids!
All ypur commitment and positivity is truly amazing Matt ,keep up the outstanding work .
Mate, the love you have for C63's is crazy!
Bounce back game strong. Minor setback - Major comeback
Love this project! Such an epic car Matt, just stick it out it’s definitely going to be worth it 💪🏼😎
Drive and determination from this man to produce great content and superb cars is unreal. Great work Matt 😎👍
wow good job on that dash, what a huge job! Don't feel back breaking stuff, I learned the hard way how delicate the posts are in the intake manifold when I replaced the injectors, very expensive mistake!
Wow! Really great progress. Can’t get over the sound of that engine.
Great video, probably most excited bout this build, can’t wait to see the end product
Build going great mate, loving the c63 rebuild 😍🔥
Well done Matt, there was a lot of work for you in that video. Its never easy changing a dash so I can imagine the issues you encountered on that one. Getting there slowly slowly, keep up the good work.
The weather has been really quite crazy good to see you decided not to do anything outside and stayed safe 😊 the C63 is has come a long way already
You hard work is going to pay off getting better with every video you do keep going
Looking really good,patience will be worth it in the end mate,looking forward to next part
Always enjoy your videos so look forward to them
We all make costly mistakes, but I can’t fault ur enthusiasm and ur drive to finish ur projects. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Great job there, coming on nicely. Bad luck with the steering spring but it one of those things that nobody would think of. Use it as a way to improve with the newer wheel.
Mann only yotuber I could watch without an skip 🙌🙌💯 Really inspiring me to do more hands on work 🙌
Great vid Mat...... C63 looking sick....... regarding the possible intake, that would make it sound unreal...... or did you subliminally drop a supercharging hint🤞🧐🧐
One criticism mat these videos aren’t long enough could watch them for hours ✌️ keep smashing the content love it
I love all your video and your enthusiasm and positivity 👌👌💪💪
Again! ThQ for the positive vid, keep it up love this build
Been watching your videos for 6 months now! Great content, keep up the good work
#18:20 thankyouu😂😂
some of us know fa about cars but your really factual when putting them together. Its really interesting all of a sudden like about the steering rack. Dont stop!!👏🏻👌🏻
That newer steering wheel looks epic :O keep up the epic work, absolutely love these videos!!!!!!
Really enjoying the C63 build Mat 👌
Great video Mat, little tip for the dent damage on the passenger seat . Put a damp (not wet) microfibre towel in the microwave for 2-3 minutes and place it over the damaged leather leave it for 5 mins and the dent should be gone , if not do it again until it is removed. Make sure you treat the leather with some conditioning creme .
Snapped a clock spring once and learnt like yourself
Great advice to anyone 👍🏻 well done matt
Loving this build, keep it up bro!
Really enjoying this build.
Great content Mat, keep it up. 👌
Loving the journey mat great content. Would be good to see the parts before starting the work on the cars as in buying it from auction and getting it back etc. would be keen to see how that all works. Keep up the hard work 👊🏻
Great progress Mat
With this type of job you can see how easily a car can be written off. The amount of labour alone! Great work Mat.
Youve got this 1 step at a time i really cant wait to see how epic this is gonna be keep them coming
Always a good day when mat post a video, love watching the journey of these cars, roll on that fezza though, piece out 👌
Great work Matt and very entertaining
Simply the best car Chanel out there. Well done Mat. HWBT. No you obviously have plenty of that too. 👍🏻
Enjoy watching your videos all the way from Cape Town South Africa #Keep up the Good work
MATT you're an awesome bloke man, keep it up, love the positivity indeed. Made some mistakes before, but without mistakes, you don't learn ;)
Coming together slowly,seen another CZcams video on changing the clock spring ribbon don't know if it's possible with this but worth looking into.
Keep up the great content 👌
Love your video. Just two comments. No1, i did the same thing when i changed the steering wheel on my honda civic, it was so bad every time i turned the wheel the bloody horn went off! No2 I kept asking myself why didn't he remove the windscreen when removing/refitting the dash as it would have be so much easier and you would have to have replaced it anyway! But then i thought Why pay autoglass twice to come out to remove then come out to relace. You saved some money that way young man.👍
You have a patient of a angle to do a job or work like this is be pulling my hair out and how you remember where everything goes amazes me keep up the good work
Love the music you have through your vlogs, any chance of a playlist?
Mat your video's are class . you should have more subs for sure. Love watching. Keep it up
Oh i do love it when i get a notification from mat Armstrong 👍👍👍
I take my hat off to you Mat, that was incredible work.🤯
Top work as ever! Scary to see 'my' car with no dash, I certainly wouldn't try that!
Feel your pain for the clock spring, hope you can find another and keep the original wheel
Love your content, keep it up!
Matt you are the best hands down English CZcamsr 👊🏻 so so so easy to watch 💙
Good lad - quality efforts !!!
Never mistakes Matt, balls and courage to acknowledge what went wrong is why you are a big hit, and you have surely helped thousands of us out watching and learning from you! Great work as always 👍
This is by far my most favourite build, matt is a genius 😎
Still smiling after a setback in time and money. Inspirational for those wanting learn how to tackle head on life's ups and downs. This car will still be a beast, shame its not AWD because it will want to return itself to Copart UK. Keep smiling Mat.😁
Bossing as always MA!!
Love this car can't wait for this Merc to be finished it's going to look sick love watching your videos mate
Hey Mat. Word to the wise, avoid the Ferrari. Even from new they're riddled with electrical problems. Not to mention after market parts. Ferrari have a very strict network
Awesome job on the C63!! enjoyed the episode and indeed sometimes things go wrong and we lern from that ...
Iv been looking forward to this car for weeks
Awesome Mat
And here I am waiting for tomorrow so I can work on a golf 4 🤣 watching you working on a amg ... not such a big difference tho !
Love the journey on this car !
I see progress my guy..keep going 🅿️💯
Matt if you don't do anything you can't do mistake, is good that you see mistakes as oportunities for other things. good job men and keep on going
Keep it up man love the Content 🔥
You are such keen enthusiastic young Ladd bet your family and girl are so proud of you
Awesome project love it👌
I am so setting up a workshop. Mat you're living your dream.
Nice Job matty💯🔥
20 minute videos? LOVE TO SEE IT
Heftiger Typ, respekt alles was du machst und auch kannst hammer geil.
Really enjoying this build as they are my dream car. So if you could stop sleeping and get on with it and upload more vids, i'd appreciate it! ;)
Savage build Mat
unlucky dude on the curtain air bags and the steering wheel great video no need for the daily uploads im always excited for your videos and worth the wait all the time
Can’t wait to see the wrap on this 👌🏽
Don't worry Mat u r doing a great job,things happen for a reason cheers
Stay up all night, tune my friend 🎶 c63 looking decent, cant wait till its finished bro
I would like to rebuild cars with Matt Aye man keep up the good work 😉💯👏🏽
Hey Mat, normally i do not often write comments but i got a suggestion regarding the broken steering wheel. I saw alot of videos of upgrading a 2012 c63 to a 2020 c63 steering wheel. I think this would look way better than any other steering wheel and makes the car feel like a absolute new car. Greetings
This car gives me huge goosebumps 🔥 💯. Can’t wait to see the finished product !!.”
