Now I want a C63 just so I can take it to Mallory performance to get the MA tune

[@jasonrogers1576]

"NEEDS" it back, genius.

[@shona5512]

What I find most impressive about all this.. Is that I'm sitting here at my mum and dad's house for Sunday tea, and the whole family is sitting watching Mat on the big screen. This is mad to me.. I've went from sitting by myself watching an episode on my phone, to sitting down with a bunch of non-car people who find you entertaining enough to watch every Sunday evening.

[@Reachermordacai]

Wholesome!

[@alexjh12345]

This is so relatable! My mum loves watching Mat and always asks me for updates on his cars 😂

[@realchestro2986]

Lovely stuff!

[@oogs9114]

Kinda sad lmao

[@MohammedMuaawia]

I couldn't wipe the smile off my face the whole time watching this. The c63 has been the most involved project on your channel and seeing it finally come to fruition is so satisfying. Great stuff as always Mat ❤️

[@ItzEmmaunelworld_3]

facts!!!

[@hassan_karting5]

Very true. I loved every episode to the point i have watched each one 1,000,000 times!

[@tonygavin378]

Please never get rid of that car. What an absolute beaut of a machine. Well done Mat, smashed it 👍🏻💪🏻

[@mryoung6794]

[@Kiobas99]

I work for a Mercedes dealership based in Holland and seeing you pull out that letter regarding the airbag made me chuckle a little bit. We do around 10 airbag replacements per day.

[@peterbalac1915]

How the hell do you keep smiling through all the agg you got rebuilding that car ? The tenacity and drive you have is on a different level, I never thought I could be so enthralled on watching a video of a car that bad been fighting and repaired. My old mate was always buying stuff from auction or Ebay that was minced I talked him out of a range rover sport as it was delivered about to be unloaded of a transporter, all collapsed with a nice tide mark where it had been swimming . Unfortunately it never stopped there he died with several unfinished projects that his mrs Baisicaly gave away bless her, best Chanel by far on KZbin imo in every aspect. Respect young man brings a big smile to this miserable old bastards face 🤙

I would pick this from all his builds. Insane power, best sound ever, German quality, Mercedes comfort and it's practical. An amazing treat.

[@dirtybird437]

Mercedes didn't want the car back, they sent you a Recall notice to have something fixed. It's no big deal. While you are at the dealership they can do a full inspection and clear all the trouble codes.

[@simonbartram9231]

After viewing most of the other projects on here you’ve referenced the C63 a lot. Finally seen every episode and can see why! What an amazing build so many issues and the modifications added more problems. Literally blood, sweat and tears. What a reward though it’s an absolute beast of a car 😁👍

[@Chris_Slix]

Ever thought about activating DRS on that wing?

[@PaulZ1300]

Absolutely awesome Matt, I’m more of a bike guy and the cars I can afford are just transport. The cars you build are just dreams to me but it’s magical watching you bring crashed cars back to life only better than they where when new. Well done that man👍

That c63 is proper badass. For me, your best build so far. Absolutely love it. Top content👍👍👍

[@supermatija2218]

All of this is just incredible. Mats intelligence, hard work. Camera quality got so much better. Video itself is so fine tuned, my man got 3 promotions in a video and its not feeling like its forced. That little edited sequence of the car. Fucking well done man! That revs after the tune made me emotional haha. Crazy

[@petebonnell1657]

Who watches the tv anymore with quality like this, hats off to you my friend 😎

[@proudliberal24-sv1wo]

Peace and love from the USA. Great channel. Very entertaining. My cousin owns a C63 that he purchased new. It is a beast. I got to drive it once. My cousin's C63 has seats that squeeze you when you make a turn at high speed. The front seats have some sort of mechanism that expands around your body to hug you in turns.

[@sidrens1047]

Colour and wheels look mega!!! I’m so sorry mate but I hate the rear spoiler - would look so much classier with a more subtle version ❤

[@Garyck88]

You can’t beat that laugh Matt every time you drive that car, that’s why you do these projects, the enjoyment you get out of it when they’re complete says it all.

[@jalil4797]

Great car as always managed to finish the impossible But i can't help to not notice the misaligned panels (panel gaps)

[@dave_s_vids]

I was wondering about that. I haven't seen the previous videos so perhaps there's a reason for it, but the bonnet to wheel arches gaps are a little large :(

[@johnstringer5447]

Did we miss the repair of the right front inner arch/sill or did it just get hidden by the wheel arch liner?

[@paulatkinson7874]

Saw this on the road Sunday and can agree it looks awesome on the road and has got a nice presence. Definitely a head turner. Nice job on the rebuild!!

[@durdy911]

That sound is amazing. It's absolutely amazing. Props to your "almost brother in law" Tuner!

[@frosthoe]

Im doing the exact opposite rebuild on another 240 GT Volvo sleeper / rally / drift build.. Almost ALL pristine used/salvage HD parts from pickup trucks and wrecked whips.. Ripped every inch of wire and plumbing out of Volvo, all interior, all dash, all heat , all ac deleted. Drivetrain deleted. 10pt cage in, LS7 9000 Rpm build done(took me a year to score a knife edged lunati bottom end😍 ). 7sp manual trans and slipper.. big disc brakes and coilovers that are from a 1000lb heavier car... Almost done and it all cost under $10k and a couple weeks of work so far stacking cars /easywork.. Local insurance salvage yard lets me know when some funky destroyed built car comes in, and i harvest high perf aftermarket odds and ends. Then work a day or two operating equipment in exchange. My Volvo Still need wheels tires, a haltech or Holley Ecu and harnesses. But the build ends in sight, almost done! Hopefully spring 2024 be drifting A LOT😛 and drag racing a lil..😋

[@garynorman]

Awesome! But, with that power I’m kind of thinking you could have pulled it under the radar a tad by NOT fitting such a pronounced spoiler. Plus, refinishing the brake callipers in the green to match the paint job would be top drawer I reckon.

[@smoggy1964]

Under the radar making that noise 😂

@@smoggy1964 I am referencing looks, not noise.

New editor (or editing style) is killing it with pacing, lay out and mostly music choice. Definitely a keeper

[@MatArmstrongbmx]

Didn’t think I’d changed the style tbf 🤷‍♀️

[@RedditStorytime]

@@MatArmstrongbmx I think what it might be then is just better music choices, suspenseful music during the story parts and then more chilled out during the timelapse etc. Just feels better paced.

Man he works hard, taking on the suspension at 9pm, appreciate the energy.

[@nealm6944]

I honestly preferred the black wheels. I think that with the dark window tint the black wheels made it looks more stealthy.

All down to Matts personality and enthusiasm, always has a smile on his face. Even my Mrs watches this with me, nice one.

[@snielsen]

Mat I love your channel! One thing that I might have missed on this build is how you worked out lining up the rear tail pipes to go through the tips on the rear bumper. I was waiting for the bumper to melt or catch fire everytime you got on the throttle. I still don't know how you had the patience to push through this build. Awesome job bud!

[@0Deac]

[@jirehnyathi6543]

I love this car and in my humble opinion, the factory wheels that came with the 507 edition are the best fit for the C63. they just fit perfectly

[@jusueavila4968]

The calipers in phosphorescent green would stand out better 👍🏻.

I've got the c63 w205 model and that's an animal. So yours must be immense with 520+ bhp going to the rear wheels. These and the w205's are the last generation of big horse power rear wheel drive cars. What an engine that 6.2 lump is. Great series of rebuild videos 👍

I understand updating the suspension, but why in the world do you people think that you have to slam a car down, till the suspension is not working properly. The Gap around that tire was perfect, it does not have to go lower. It looks wrong when it's that low. And you cannot have a car without proper suspension travel work properly. Especially if you're going to drive it on the streets where other humans are driving.

[@JuanCastro-jd4hl]

Right? Can can ride much better with a meatier tire and it will fix the fitment I understand in the front tho maybe lower it and get it tight

[@dominickleonardi]

The left quarter panel spacing is to good the hood gap is to wide and the bumper to fender gap is so tight. The front of the quarter panel needs to be raised about a cm to make the spacing look flush. It’s such a small thing to pick on but I noticed it when it drove by at 5:35 in the video

[@ChrisKsan]

I never thought this would actually be the case, but although I liked the C63 for a long time, now I actually want one like that!

[@ericmcmanus5179]

Im sure other people have commented to you about this, but its really not a good idea to let your brakes hung with all the wait on the brake fluid line like that. When you were replacing the coilovers i noticed that. Especially with big brakes like those. Im sure you didn't do any damage to them, but its just always a good idea to support them just in case you tear the line from the weight of the caliper.

Hi Mat. I just wanted to tell you that I received the exact same letter in August for a passenger side airbag replacement. It is completely normal. Apparently the original airbags fitted when the car was made contained a particular product that could've caused an issue, so they recalled it, and replaced the passenger side airbag in half a day. So that recall wasn't exclusive to your car.
