Just a quick idea of why the car won’t start. Since you guys screwed the bolt in the transmission to lock it in neutral, it might not register it as in “park”. Some newer cars won’t start if it isn’t in park. Maybe put the gearbox back in park and try it again :) Lots of love from Denmark ❤

Just a suggestion after watching your previous videos and rebuilds: I think it would be really helpful to start using a checklist. When you get a car up on the ramps for the first time, having a list to check things like wishbones, arms, droplinks, etc., could ensure nothing is overlooked. For example, with the Urus, when the car was pulling to one side, a couple of bent arms were missed. A checklist could help catch issues like that early on.

Hey Mat, I have an idea why it won't start. It could be the micro switch in the hood lock. With the BMW, for example, you can't put it in gear when it's open. Check the ground strap from the engine to the body and the starter relay.... Of course, the gear selector lever should also be in N or P position.😅 But the most important thing is... if you don't know exactly what the reason for the accident was... you should definitely check all technical parts, not that the accident happened because of a defect.

Mat I used to work at a dealership here in Australia well quite a few actually. Here we have direct access to the state registration systems and at any stage we can register a new car. My thought it the car is insured through the dealers floor plan insurer and then for whatever reason they have registered the car as a new car after the damage has been done for insurance purposes. If damaged in a test drive the car was likely on a dealer plate and then registered as dealer stock demonstrator after the fact.

@@ZaKTricKzzz I know but honestly, 24 hours?! They'd struggle even if they were working on a model they've experienced before. The DB12 hasn't been out 2 minutes so parts will always be in short supply or on backorder - it was a timeframe that was impossible from the get go. Anyway, we're all here for the struggle! 😆

Hi Matt, hello from the USA. The only video that I can watch for an hour is yours. I’m absolutely fascinated by what you do. You deserve all the success that you have achieved!

I love watching you and the team. Specifically the relationship between you and your dad, what a team! 🔥💪🏼👌🏼

[@The3Halls]

That Clicking that new fuel line together was the most satisfying thing in the video 😂👏👏👏

[@minitune7285]

Strange that the fuel lines would be that exposed. Good chance of an explosion after a crash🤡

[@jonathanrex]

Taking the vehicle apart and putting all the different screws back in place at the end - how on earth is that possible? Very impressive... you guys are really skilled. I drive Aston's myself and would never have thought that the vehicle, as beautiful as it is, consists of so many small parts. Thank you for sharing.

🇿🇦Johannesburg south Africa well done team this is going to be a sick build 💪👏👑👏

[@gavinpretorius3564]

Agreed

[@BTR_REBUILD]

Looking at that data sheet, your DB12 was the 117th built. The DB12 model is internally known as the AM5, the number 3 means it’s the coupe.

[@andyw8558]

I love Mat's dad villain laugh 😅

[@hamiltonchauke274]

I love the way you and your dad make fixing all these cars fun. And that makes watching your videos from Dobsie, Johannesburg, South Africa more interesting.

[@timt3813]

Wow. I’ve literally only seen a couple on the roads so far since launch!

[@Juzzy007]

LOVE the wrap & the carbon trims are awesome, Mat. Gotta' be honest though - for the first time in all your builds, I probably prefer the AM rims. Great work, mate.

[@BrunoSantos-qy3wu]

Good job !! But I don't like the new weels .

Mat's accent is so strong it turned my sugarless black coffee into the most posh est tea

[@gdfggggg]

Matt isn’t very posh. He’s a normal lad. I guarantee tho, as he gets older, the people he’ll mix with will inadvertently change his accent. He’ll always have that slight twang tho.

A spot welder dent puller would of been a good bit of kit too help pull small too medium dents out of panels Mat.

I don't think the buyer even drove it, it was simply crashed by an Aston Martin worker in the parking lot while driving it to the car wash 😂

You should give your dad this Aston, if I had a Dad let alone one like yours he deserves this! You can tell he's sad about this not being his car! Also, fix the damage above the rear quarter window and rear window - putting the panel back on top of the dented metal is naf!
