REBUILDING A £10,000 MERCEDES C63 AMG BUT THE PROBLEMS WON'T STOP

[@okambambo]

Dude your fearlessness at how you tackle potentially expensive stuff you've never done before is inspiring so much I've bought a non runner A4 B8 TDI , wish me luck

[@bigtbeqezi2937]

Update us chief sounds like an interesting build

[@futurepainthemaking9821]

You got this don’t get discouraged when it gets tough. It’s all a learning experience. You can do this. Even if you don’t have the finances you can make it happen just shop around a bit for parts.

[@_Xorag]

start making youtube videos

[@Amir.253]

does the license plate end in VUM by any chance?

[@Robezt]

You need to post it up and let us see it! We’re rooting for you too man

[@Olsi.kas17]

U have to change the brake light switch which is at the footwell, same thing happen to me it kept showing me srs light and runflat indicator

[@charliewillis9499]

Love the videos and your drive Matt, As a panel beater of 20 years, I’d say filling the joint between the kit and panel will 100% crack in no time. I’d recommend I perfect bead of sealer ( for flex). Also I’d never fill over paint, remove the paint of the whole area plus a few inch around, feather out the layer of lacquer paint ect. This will prevent sinkage and make for an all round better repair. Hope this helps, wishing you Hannah and Kevin all the best.

[@davidmcloone1252]

Would agree, defo use sealer. Masking tape a nice line about 5-10mm wide round all the gaps. Then a nice clean bead round to seal and allow flex. There’s plenty KZbin videos on guys doing this.😉 look up Akira nakai san. The king of Porsche body kits and master of sealer.

[@itstherealjammin]

Use Kent quickseal 👍

[@slasher9883]

Listen to this man, he knows what he is talking about. You are using filler for a job it is not designed to do. It's gonna crack and fall out in no time. Sealer is the way to go.

[@imjusttjames]

Satin yellow with yellow brake callipers would look epic with other parks in black

[@leothelegend8201]

Agreed 👍

[@robotstobor3388]

Good choice of colour

[@barryfennessy7005]

Sun beam yellow 💪🏻

[@barryfennessy7005]

Black callipers 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@POZIMIND7]

Nardo glossy grey with green brakes would be perfection

[@CarsWithJB]

This is absolute havoc - love the car already!

[@sienimiesh]

Matt is an true inspiration cant say anything else. I figured he could use some money especially with this money pit but didnt find anything suitable from the merch store. So i ordered something for my friends instead as a gift. Thanks Matt for all this high quality inspiring content!

[@anthonynigelkendrick5474]

At last a day off, the first time in 2 months of hard graft. I have my entire day planned out, now lunch, then an afternoon of binging your builds. Mat, they are great, i love them. the best part of watching them is the way you school your fans ' ME'' on what you do and why+ you deserve all the great things that are skowly to fruision. Dude, You ' ROCK '!

[@michaelrose7258]

Every time I watch your videos, I'm amazed at how nothing beats you. You can turn your hand to anything, mechanical, electrical, body work, it's so amazing and you have a special talent. Great to see how Far things have come for you since the audi TT days. Great channel, great content best on KZbin. Hope it keeps going from strength to strength for all the long days and hard work you put into it.

[@thebritishautochannel]

13:19 most difficult part of the build 🤣

[@kageyme8109]

Matt , what you need is knifing stopper to use after he filler and the light scratches . You just smooth it on and it doesn't need a hardener. You'll find it makes you finish far better and a lot easier and it's not expensive

[@lunganiphahla]

Matt: “I don’t know what I’m doing” Everyones mind: you’ll get it get it done

[@COWKS]

I want to see this in satin chrome red, some chunky black alloys and carbon accents. It will look fire 🔥

[@JPeterz]

Red and black is always my go to.

[@markotadic9406]

It would be sick 👌

[@shona5512]

Red is a good shout but it has to be Metallic or Gloss. Every other finish just ends up looking tacky and cheap. Especially for a paint job, you're better off wrapping the car if you want that sort of finish.

[@zaheerkhan-gw3dk]

Love watching this guy and the progress he makes .keep up the good work bro 👏

[@daquansteed4412]

Over the last month I have went back and watched all of your episodes. Just want to say that you do amazing work with the cars as well as giving back. Although I’m from the US I’m very happy that I came across your channel.

[@jacobmorrall7237]

Surely you have to go for the Merc solar beam yellow/orange, classic black series colour, looks so sick, and you’ve never done a yellow/orange before! Would look mental! Definitely needs a wing as well!

[@yellacat]

Matt - would be good to cover that putting a Cat S or N on the road again takes a bit more than just an MOT test - for example - Insurance can be difficult, much more costly and the Cat status will always stay on the car at DVLA meaning that selling it, becomes very difficult. Great video btw - good progress being made - well done mate.

[@Carl-vq6ww]

Had a few cat n, no trouble at all selling and no extra on insurance at all and repaired better than standard with top spraying. Only bodywork on cat n… cat s like these are the 1z that are crabbing down the road.

[@shona5512]

Nearly every car Matt has had in the last 2 years has categorised crash damage, I'm sure he knows what it takes to get it certified road worthy again.

[@Carl-vq6ww]

@@yellacat 😂 whatever, as I’ve pointed out, only problems with cat s. No problem with somebody pranging the bodywork. So why will u struggle with insurance, does that mean it’s more likely to be in another accident with another owner because the car has had damaged bodywork in the past lol? Or selling, I’ve had a Honda known for shite spraying and thin bodywork repaired better than standard as any good garage could. Stay away from cat s but cat n is ok if repaired properly.

[@yellacat]

@@Carl-vq6ww Do you work in Insurance? I do. Getting Insurance on a Cat N even after it has been put back on the road (N is 'Non Structural), will still not be to the appetite of many insurance companies. Fact. All I said is it was worth mentioning, so take your trolling elsewhere.

[@Carl-vq6ww]

@@yellacat If u worked in insurance u would know I’m telling the truth, u do not work in insurance. What do u think I do, I am just an insurance guy, nothing more, cat s is bad, cat n is not a problem, although I will add it does change from company to company, so maybe I was harsh with my wording 👍

[@lesliekirk7036]

Great job buddy never give up on your dreams 🇬🇧🇬🇧👍👍

[@joesoviewable1141]

The fact he’s made this much progress in a month, with other builds too! Guys a machine 🤙🏽

[@ts5111]

Mat! AMG solarbeam yellow (or something similar) would look a dream on this!

[@vthors3000]

Bro i gotta say that this is a nightmare of a diy project and u seem to be doing great and just figuring it out. The same goes for the range rover. I'd have given up ages ago fiddling with all the electrical stuff and interior gadgets etc. Great discipline and patience.

[@TheeWilsonator]

Anyone else like the video before the ad has even stopped because you know its going to be a banger? Haha

[@ianthomas-ft4mc]

Truly inspirational doing something that you love and proving if you put your mind to it you can do anything, keep up the good work mat

[@jayceb5120]

Great video, easy to watch and I like how quickly you move through repairs. Well done sir!

[@anthonynigelkendrick5474]

Looking forward to taking delivery of the Monnico road trip map. I even know where its going to hang. In the process of re-decorating my living room, major grief but it's going to look so sick once it's finished

[@maxlandy7642]

Love the build. Can't wait to see it progress even more.

[@TheRealNuri]

Amazing build. Looking forward to the finishing product. I would just change the brake calipers lettering in black. The white lettering looks too cheap imo.

[@oliverbunger5202]

the´re red calipers

[@TheRealNuri]

@@oliverbunger5202 i was referring to the white amg lettering👍🏻

[@oliverbunger5202]

@@TheRealNuri oh ok, my bad (:

[@adam.a]

1:41 does the bonnet look too high?

[@TYLOTYLOTYLO]

That’s what I thought

[@bradlogan107]

Yeah I agree 🤦🏻‍♂️ does look abit odd , still love the channel 💪🏼

[@blitzsah]

Yeah the strut should be attached more towards the front of the bonnet

[@MatArmstrongbmx]

Nope that’s how c classes are 😅

[@erezyoal]

Gold calipers looks best on C63, the carbon breaks set comes with the golden caliper and carbon discs 👌

[@teej2530]

solar beam yellow would look amazing.

[@danfoley7547]

Crikey!! Have you caught a lisp with them new nashers? You could be an extra off TOWIE with them. Will have to start feeding you sugar cubes mate.

[@johnspartan5612]

Love this build but by now I'd have probably raged out and put a spanner through the windscreen. Big respect Matt.

[@Arek_R.]

Mat, when people told you in one of the videos that you are supposed to wear a mask when sanding fiberglass, that's not the type of mask they've meant 🤣🤣🤣

[@lloydbarrett1]

For the paint colour check out the Weistec CLK63 Black Series, Nardo grey with dark bronze wheels 👌🏽 they also do a supercharger that will take yours to 600-600hp

[@jasonmunro5489]

Hi Mat. Just watching your latest videos. Great stuff. Your enthusiasm is contagious! Great stress relief after a busy front line shift. Keep up the great content, wishing you all the success you deserve 👍

[@rizzy0032]

Def my favourite car on the channel, I cant wait to see it completed. For the paint I want to see Midnight Blue with lots of flakes and some carbon fibre wrap

[@pastyhauler]

Hi Matt. You can rub down filler with 80 grit first and save your self a bit of time. If your gonna prime and wrap it I’d probably go 80-180-320-400-600

[@beseeingyou9120]

Anyone buying one of these damaged, something to consider..... Matt is doing all this for content, not profit. Look at all the work that is involved and how transparent he is being.... Then consider who you would actually be buying one of these things from and their aim of as little labour as possible and to make the biggest profit they can 😑

[@papareal]

Love it Mat!! Keep the faith as this is probably going to be your best build yet!!

[@33xbeatz38]

Ayyyy this build so far is absolutely fire and im a big w204 c63 fan especially the black series 💯so yh im so proud of ur hard work and I cant wait for the end result 💪

[@jackharmston8592]

Baby blue callipers and the body in a nice type of grey can’t wait to see this build progress even more 👌🏽

[@gerryfinegan]

Your fearless Mat......But it's your determination or as the expression we use in Ireland "THICKNESS" that get you through...Well done! Great work.

[@lukeshardlow768]

I had to undergo that other inspection with mine, was called a VIC check. They didn’t check the repair or if the car was safe just that the numbers match up and it’s not a cut and shut.

[@rcart1]

This is the one project of yours that i’m most excited to see finished. It’s going to look wicked

[@ScottPC]

Matt the discs are the wrong way around! The drilled holes are directional.

[@MatArmstrongbmx]

The discs are non directional they are all the same discs if you look at the oem ones which come off they are exactly the same. There’s no directional vents inside the discs

[@amirhoseinbalali4772]

one of the hardest cars to work on and ur smashin it bro dont stop keep it up u got this thats my dream car i would love to see the final product

[@jamesdanielsfanpage7610]

Loving this build, I’ve had my w204 c63 for 3 years now, wouldn’t change a thing, hmm if anything you may be starting to convince me to buy a black series kit?? 🤷🏼‍♂️ who knows! Take care Matt loving this series!

[@johnnythe01]

Solar beam yellow Mat! 🙏🏻

[@iibraderzzii4972]

Keep going, persistence will pay its dues eventually 👊🏼

[@StephvH87]

Tumbs up for the enjoyment 😎 normally your choice for outrages colours I agree but this one. British racing green or the darkest green Mercedes oem colour. Love the content Matt!

[@tommiddleton11]

Car has to go a silver of sorts - keep the black bonnet, and add black trims / details on mirrors, side skirts (pin stripes?) , window surrounds etc. Chuck the calipers in a bright colour - Blue/Green/Turquoise maybe to match the Mercedes F1 / Project One cars - or Orange would be cool.

[@gt197]

Great Video as usual Matt. Looking forward to seeing the C63 finished and on the road..👍🏻

[@alexalbiston5675]

Another cracking video.. inspired me to give wrapping my car a go in the three weeks leave I have next month. Hopefully it goes as well as yours have!! It’s a bmw 4 series and it’s going gloss orange!

[@djmagnetic915]

Love what you're doing mate, you have inspired me to start doing things on my car i wouldn't have normally attempted. Keep up the awesome work 😉

[@rajpoot5399]

Your work speaks for itself.Great work pal

[@peterosborne7]

Keep going mat I no you will knock this build out of the park colour wise would love to see gold and black 😊

[@yptoski]

This C63 is getting so much love and attention! and it still needs a whole lot more it seems! Good luck on the rest of the build, never give up!

[@QrankChannel]

Platinum silver as colour for C63! Make this one a classy one👌🏼

[@florianthomas7852]

1:20 Thats a nice spot for rust to develop now, guess it doesnt really matter after you flip the car to someone else.

[@jeremyjames1972]

Truly remarkable! No fear...just do it!! Well done man...again!! 👏🎉

[@markgunn6680]

Love how the bonnet holds itself up! 😁

[@dorudascal2170]

Hello Mat, That AMG looks kool wit blue lights' same color as the elevator to install under.

[@gregoryuk]

BRAVO 👏👏 Actually glad for you that you now have power. Let the upgrades and mods continue!

[@anthonynigelkendrick5474]

It looks Awesome! I cannot wait to see this build finished, Legend !

[@AustinMurphy7]

Most dope build yet 🔥

[@J_S591]

The front shield behind the brakes should not have fouled the discs at all, as all non-BS 63’s had the same 360mm disc with the same thickness. The floating 360mm came from the pre-2010 performance pack cars, then after that was revised for a cheaper composite disc, but the pre-2010 can be retrofitted to all of them, even the late 507. The BS discs are the same thickness but 390mm and can be direct fit with a larger carrier. So anyway, somehow the backing plates for the discs have become misshapen somehow, of what they attach to is bent. You’ve done it now though, so leave it 😂. FYI if you wanted to upsize the rear disc to 360mm (from 330mm) you’ll need W212 calipers as the carrier is integral.

[@didley3211]

Matt if u gonna vinyl wrap the car just an idea two tone > chrome rose gold or chrome copper (including calipers) with gloss black carbon (roof) and deep dish black alloy wheels

[@mib1031]

Loving this build Mat. Not a fan of a body kit, but I’m sure you’ll make it look sick. Keep pushing son!

[@lovie546]

Your content is the freshest on KZbin at the minute, keep it up mate 👍🏻

[@AAShah24]

I think you should maybe paint the C63 in Satin black or Pearl white will look sick! 👀 Here is an idea, eventually after paint, maybe wrap it the same colour as your Golf R you had!? 🤔

[@ItzEmmaunelworld_3]

definitely good option

[@Adam.Anaconda]

Candy purple wrap would make this car look sick

[@markstead7867]

It's always worth adding some epoxy glue or fibreglass resin to the rivnuts when putting them into fibreglass as they can work loose over time

Hi Matt, i had that starting problem on a BMW E36 years ago, it turned out to be an immobiliser which was installed on the car, luckily we found the switch for it in the glove box

[@h3msy]

Mat, when you do a job like the fuse at the start of the video you said it took ages, tell us how long it takes, it looks like 2minutes on the video but if it took you 4 hours then if you say that, then that gives people more of an idea of how much effort and work you put in. Watched you since the TT days, never missed a video and tried to win every car you raffled. Never done that with any other KZbinr.
