Hey Matt, is youtube your only job or do you have a daytime job besides making videos for KZbin, and what might that be? Keep up the good work and Thanks 👍🏿

[@matt13ross]

I’ve got a full time job for now!

[@JenzRock]

I have to say. Some youtubers do a breakdown, but not all disclose the youtube rev. Your passion and your spare time commitment to the channel out weighs most. Keep it up. No reason you shouldn't be earning a mill plus subscribers.

[@matt13ross]

Thanks so much! I try and be as transparent as I can.

[@david_s1]

@@matt13ross appreciate the transparency

[@charha01]

Excellent rundown. Perfect example of how much money you can save by doing work yourself.

[@Onlooker71]

This video reminds me what a Herculean effort this build was. You could give me 5 years and I probably couldn’t have done the same. Great job and was fun to watch.

[@thelastpetrolhead]

Such a great build. Binge watched the entire series. Made my love for the 997 grow even more. Congrats!

[@mjc1177]

same

[@wrexz]

@thelastpetrolhead the 997 is my favorite water cooled 911

[@toddfoster975]

Congrats on 100k subscribers. It was your “enclosed car hauler refurbish” series that got me hooked on your channel and caused me to watch all your previous episodes.

[@matt13ross]

Awesome, thanks for going back to old ones too!

[@Donald-5150]

I wish I had your outlook on things, Matt. I remember looking at those two tubs thinking there was no way you’d end up with 1 working vehicle. And now your 997 is as good as any other example out there. You always had faith, and you just kept your head down and your hands greasy. Bravo Zulu, my friend.

[@matt13ross]

You can do anything you set your mind to! Including getting your channel GOING! :)

[@jerehada]

I did wonder about fixing chassis rail! When I saw all those wiring harnesses the thought of moving 😦

[@atrain132]

14:24 ahh dude, you got Falken tires! My absolute favorite. Usually people just go with the Michelin pilots, which are great, but I like the Falkens better

[@matt13ross]

Love them too!

[@AtownCangri]

Matt, to say that this is impressive its a huge understatement. Excellent work man. Loved watching every bit over the past year. I wish you much growth for you channel. You have a loyal subscriber here lol. Thank you for putting out such great content. God bless!

[@matt13ross]

Thanks so much!

[@evanwheeler7687]

Can't believe you did it and i was watching the whole theough. Congrats on a great car.

[@TheBadBone23]

Plus doing something you like, that's priceless...I would pick this over my day to day office job in a blink of an eye.

[@Lvke65]

Never stop sharing the build break downs, transparency, errors or mistakes. Thats why I (and probably most of us) love this channel so much! Now time for some E30 (and e92?) content!

[@matt13ross]

Thanks! Yes to both of those cars getting new videos soon.

[@_Haris1904]

The full thorough cost breakdown you did is really gonna help out a lot of people looking to rebuilding a 997 Turbo.

[@XloMotion]

Clean, simple and a honest price breakdown. Matt you'll have a bright future! I'm in since before the 25k subs so when you blow up I can say that I was there early!

[@matt13ross]

I'm still waiting to "blow up" lol

[@TomHamilton-rg7cp]

It came out seriously nice. Great job! The modifications were spot on! Just right and not over the top. Can't wait to see the BMW project progress.

[@violinmiata]

It tells a lot about a person when a real and honest breakdown of cost comes into play. Fearless leader is a solid dude. He now needs to give himself a raise and factor in the labor hours! Any shop would charge a fortune for the labor of switching chassis, repair work, paint and modifications. That’s why we watch the channel!

[@matt13ross]

Thank you very much!!

[@nOtThisnotNow]

Turned out beautiful, great work and attention to detail! Looking forward to your next build

[@convella]

Love how in depth you got with all the different aspects of the build cost. Only $20,000 invested is awesome!

[@DoubleOSeven007]

It's been interesting. 911 Turbo's are so nice out of the box, I wouldn't have done any of the mods, but each to their own. Nice Work.

[@thehundredthmonkey5972]

I think it’s hit or miss depending on the spec. They can often look totally understated and bland.

[@davidclarke7728]

Really enjoyed the re build of your car, your presentation and dialogue were very good

[@edgegamer]

Absolute mega effort on this Matt, it has been great fun to watch and cheer you on! Well deserved! Now you can enjoy the fruits of all your efforts and drive the wheels off that thing!

[@keithvolner930]

Congratulations man. I don’t know how anyone can hate on that. It’s an amazing feat, and personally… I really appreciate what you’ve done. It’s been highly entertaining and educational for me. Just fyi, I’ve bought some of your merch, I’ve been subbed for at least a year, and I even sometimes get my wife to watch your videos with me. So thank you, Matt

[@matt13ross]

So much support, thank you a bunch!

[@gregmueller9736]

$20k and time well spent.....the content wasn't too shabby either...Nice work man

[@KMoyseFitness]

Feel like you’re really finding your style of presenting now Matt. Been great to watch your confidence grow - keep it up, very unique channel in a saturated field, a hard thing to pull off 👏

[@matt13ross]

Thanks!

[@DuanDao]

The enjoyment you get out of doing this stuff is always going to be a win Matt. It just makes it that much better when it doesn't cost you an arm and a leg.

[@peybackthis1596]

Super epic that you have this car for that price considering everything you did and hrs put into it. Awesome

[@PROJECTM95]

Kinda sad to see this come to an end, but of course mainly happy for you! Watched the whole series and it was such a good watch, congrats! Here’s to 100k more subscribers

[@Redsmeg68]

Really heartening to see you can make it financially viable, the series has been excellent and has softened the blow after I let my 2005 997 Carrera go recently due to lack of miles driven

[@stewarthatshell7133]

Another outstanding video I look forward to every new vid every time I log on Please keep up the great work!

[@mjc1177]

You're doing great man keep it up and don't ever change.

[@gregoryfranks7347]

turned out so amazing!!! I really love the 996(except the wheels and color) but everybody likes different stuff but I know as a real Porsche guy there are ways to tell if someone has taste and knows what's cool. I also understand buying what you can find used so the new wheels aren't for me but the fact that you could have done anything for exhaust but you knew that the gt2 style outlets are so far cooler than anything else. they turn the car into an aggressive looking machine that actually make it look like its got as much horsepower as whoever looks at it wants it to have. its actually nothing that enhances power but it makes appear that way. doesn't really make the sound so who gives a shit but it looks like its going to sound epic. its a mod that really has only visual appeal but it gives people a wink if you will and Porsche tuning guys like myself know that you are indeed a badass with a badass car. cheers

[@parthans]

I absolutely appreciate you getting us involved ALL the way - no one... NOT ONE SINGLE OTHER KZbinR does this... And you make good fun, "clean(ish)" content!!!

[@matt13ross]

Thank you a bunch!!

[@kilove1]

The car looks amazing 🤩 great job matt i have watched every episode of the build 💪🙌💯👏🥇

[@jasonlouis5498]

I love the wheels and the chalk grey. Excellent 👏

[@joshr188]

Thanks for sharing ALL of the numbers including your youtube revenue. This is a great picture of the true cost of DIY a porsche. You definitely have my subscription! Great work!

[@matt13ross]

Thanks so much!

[@MrStlvette]

Great wrap up of the 997. She’s unbelievable! Your collection of cars is amazing. What’s next?

[@matt13ross]

Well, I still have the 996, the white E30, the E30 M3, LS1 E36, and the E92 M3. So.....lol

[@alanschreiber]

Congrats Matt! Your car is amazing, it's perfect! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@jamiesharpe-m2y]

Keep going Matt, you’re doing great and congratulations on your 100k. Yours is always the first video I click on when I see a new one uploaded, and that includes the big guys on here.

Thanks a bunch!

[@whogivesacrap84]

Love the 997.. you did a great job Matt!

[@Euuuhhhful]

man, so happy for you! keep going and you'll be making a lot more projects like these

[@dzlnitro]

Transparency and integrity. Keep up the hard work! Looking forward to all your upcoming vids!

[@matt13ross]

Thank you! Will do!

[@dailydriven991]

Man I got stressed out just rewatching that clutch job for a min lol. Congrats for real though. You’ve got one of the all time greats from Porsche brought to life by a TON of your own sweat equity. Doing it all in that little garage is what makes this channel so relatable to people I think. That and your car guy math that we all do to justify the money we spend on cars haha.

[@matt13ross]

Math is on point!! lol

[@charless2684]

Thats a HUGE win. Congrats Dude. One of my favorite KZbin rebuilds....and you did it in your GARAGE!😂

[@figifister]

I think the wing looks good. Everyone is so obsessed with oem plus.

[@travisa6311]

I've followed the whole build. It's super cool that you even showed your KZbin revenue. We'll done and congratulations on the awesome car!

[@matt13ross]

I try and be as open as I can. Thank you!

[@chrismitchell559]

I do this all the time with copart cars... buy 2 cars, frankenstein them together into one decent car, sell of parts, break even or have extra cash for upgrades.

[@pollatso]

Beautiful project finished car is a real credit to you 👍🙏🙏👍🇬🇧

[@dBtje1980]

I love this car, the stock wheels looked good, but I really like the new wheels aswell. Great build and I hope your channel will grow a lot. Maybe the M3 build will make that possible. Or rebuilding a crashed car of one of the bigger channels like Mat Armstrong did with the GT3RS from Adam LZ

[@Joshk326]

Now that the wheels are on, can we officially say the build is now done? Also what a golden nugget, absolute steal for such a beautiful ride

[@matt13ross]

Few more things to do. But mostly done

[@paulsanchez4141]

Looks better with black wheels great job

[@Cleanasdirt2182]

I really enjoyed this Porsche series, very interesting to watch. 👍🇨🇦

[@Zenkusuoo]

Build looks good, and well now you’ve earned the title “Built a car before” also.

[@For4Reel]

Great Work!

[@highendtrends3508]

I stopped watching the channel because I was busy with school, but wow! It looks great! An with no lift! I commend you for taking on this task!

[@matt13ross]

Now go back and watch what you. missed :)

[@dhorst87]

Lol you’re the GOAT dude… Anyone who watches and comments what they don’t like about your build is comedy. Anyways, I rarely comment on the tube but only when credit is due 👏🏽 you done did what I think most P car owners wish they could do. Thanks for the content. I watch em all 👍🏽

[@matt13ross]

Thanks so much for the support!!

[@AlexanderVazquez-z6d]

Your an amazing guy bro! Makes me wish i did a build series on my grave yard e36 m3 lol!

that's a win, really appreciate you putting all the figures out there. not that my opinion matters, but definitely keep doing what you're doing.

[@matt13ross]

Thanks! Will do!

Congratulations on 100k+ subscribers🎉

[@matt13ross]

Thank you so much 😀

[@kramer8865]

At the end of the day you have a 997 Turbo which you basically built, I think anyone would call that a win.

[@dkosawa]

What a great cost summary!! Thx so much for including the KZbin revenue as well. Very interesting, and i'm glad that I was able to contribute a tiny amount to your amazing 997.2 Turbo. Let me know if you want to sell it. ;)

[@matt13ross]

Not selling anytime soon!!

[@yalkhazali71]

Shout out to the Apex wheels they look great on the car!

[@eduardlast23]

Rims are fire build if fire great channel bro

[@blardymunggas6884]

No way this channel will not hit 2 million subs by the end of next year

[@matt13ross]

Wow I think that’s pretty high lol

[@wrexz]

Black isn't my favorite wheel color, but I do like the Apex wheels

[@salimrandall]

You forgot to add the cost of 10,000 Porsche labor hours.

[@Tsitris46]

I would love to see you ice blast the motor and the underside of it and mint it out. It turned out amazing! Been following the build after i found the yellow Porsche headlight retrofit kit. I don’t even own a Porsche. 👌

[@matt13ross]

Eventually, I’d like to do that for sure!

[@milank.1509]

Amazing Job on this one, only thing i would do different is i would put a 911.2 steering wheel, but everything else is Perfect !! Keep up with builds like this, love watching your videos, all the best !!!

[@matt13ross]

Still planning on a steering wheel upgrade in the future!

[@luscienharris3535]

This car needs its stock turbo wing back, this after market wing only looks good on gt cars, u are only one step closer to a near mint 997 turbo

[@aaronf4201]

Respectfully disagree. I love the wing.

[@EddieHerrera-MK7]

I thought I was the only one that thought that as well. there’s one listed on eBay right now for $3500 shipped in bright yellow that I would not hesitate to put on this car. It makes the whole car!

[@roan.winter]

I disagree 😅

[@matt13ross]

An OEM Turbo wing isn't out of the question, its just they are WAY too expensive for me to justify.

[@craigrobertson7938]

Def standard oem wing. This wing looks like something a 14y made.

[@DarkGreenGoblin]

When is the E92 M3 coming back?????? 😭

[@matt13ross]

Soon!

[@DarkGreenGoblin]

🥳

[@joshswan06]

The OEM wheels look so much better change them back

Nooooo

What about the cost for all the window cleaner?
