i am blown away by this car. What an amazing restoration!
Tell me if I'm wrong but I was of the impression this talented man has signed up with a media company. It would explain the videography.
@@secretov1da nope 😂😂 don’t have that budget just yet
Perfect Job. Hello from Germany 😊
@@MatArmstrongbmx we will see any colab with @Zedsly wich he own the z-perfamnce we love wheels
crazy how far he went with this
The quality of videography when revealing the car was next level. Felt like I was watching The Grand Tour! Brilliant stuff.
I'm glad you said Grand Tour 😎👍👍
@@battlight3476 in my eyes, nothing else exists anymore 😂👍🏼
👏🏻
The only thing that was missing was Jeremy talking about the car over the footage.
Absolutely, got me rock hard my guy
omfg that exhaust. well done. this is def my new favorite car channel on youtube
Flipping genius Matt, what a car, what a production, excellent in every way...congratulations buddy, I’m proud that we finally have a British A list automotive youtuber, Shmee’s got money, you’ve got balls and talent 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Can u tell me how that shmee is so rich?
He claims it’s from his media work etc, but it’s family money.
Regardless, my point is that some KZheadrs buy great cars and make great content but Matt buys cars that in principle should have been melted and turned into sauce pans but instead gives them an unimaginably and stunning new lease of life.
Hey man I just wanted to say I am not a mechanic nor a huge car guy and I am an older guy but I have to say the work you do is beautiful, your enthusiasm for your work is contagious and you really do make great videos. At times the amount you are paying for twisted wrecks is shocking but the final product you put out on the streets is just simply amazing. Very best wishes from Miami….
PLEASE NOTE:: at 1:10 - THAT is NOT an exhaust... THAT is an absolute work of art.
yeah, talk about stacking dimes...beautiful welds on that car fart.
Don’t know anything about cars but binged this whole series in one stretch! So well done and making it even better then it was for the price of the cheapest one available it’s just a good job!
I'm not a mechanic and have never watched anything like this, but it is addictive viewing! Roll over Netflix binge watching, I couldn't put this down and ended up watching all 8 parts. Much respect for the bravery in taking something like this on. Really excellent presentation and infectious enthusiasm . Not sure that spoiler is an improvement, but the rest looks great!
Same happened to me, episode after episode, watched them all :o
Proper humble guy that gets the results every time. Thanks for the trust Mat 👊🏻
Indeed
I love that you show the cost of the builds. I feel like alot of people stop doing it when there channel's get bigger. I'm glad you still show its really good to see
Who would have thought this could happen from a wreck? Simply gorgeous. Well done Mat and all those who had a part in it.
I've just had the absolute pleasure of watching the build from start to finish, all 8 episodes. The colour looks unreal, and the whole car just looks soooo good. I think this build has to be my favourite. Kudos to you, you've smashed it out of the park! Phenomenal car.
You’ve pulled it out the bag yet again Matt. Looks amazing and should be very proud of yourself and the team.. 🎉
Wow this turned out so much better than my expectations. You really have a good eye for these builds. Respect 💯
I've watched all of your builds & this one is by far my favorite... you basically re-manufactured this car from scratch from bare chassis.. and it turned out amazing, looks better than most porches i've seen on the road & I see alot of porches where I live... great job 🙌 you inspire me... keep up the good work
Stunning transformation! Great colours, ride height, exhaust and attention to detail with the roof and the shut lines. Great build Mat & your energy, enthusiasm and optimism are extraordinary and best of all infectious!!
Man, I just found this channel and series this beautiful Sunday and enjoyed every episode so much. Finished part 6 and was sad, that I can't watch more. Refreshed your channel and part 7 is here. I'm beyond thankful :D Insane job Mat and friends!
Dude i had quite literally the same experience. Found the channel today in the morning, binge watched all this series, then went into the most recent vids to see the next one and was bummed out. Then a few hours later this pops up in my notifications
@@brunofilipe9623drops 1 every Sunday and 1 in the week 👍🏾
Same, love this channel
I am in awe of you Mat. You take big risks and put in so many hours and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for making such entertaining restorations of these cars I could only dream of affording. Absolute class guy 👏❤️
This build is truly unreal , you are such a talented enthusiast . Great taste of colours and you don't stop at getting everything right ! Keep it up and can't wait for the next resto ! 👏
Mat, this Porsche Cayman rebuild has to one of your best looking projects to date. The transformation from a crash damaged/wrecked car to a stunning looking GT4 Cayman is next level. Loving the stunning new colour & the lowered stance with the new wheels. Absolutely brilliant! 👍🔥👍🔥
Man that colour looks incredible with the carbon accents and dark wheels. I wasn't sold on the wing, but I must say, with the car being lowered and sitting in it's final form, it's really grown on me.
One of the best restoration jobs on KZhead... Awesome Job Mat! - You deserve every success, never lose your passion never lose your heart!
Know very little about car mechanics but your stuff is compulsive viewing. The enthusiasm is infectious! I'm down in NZ so from the other side of the world, keep them coming.
Have to say, when you first showed this car as a total wreck I thought no way he's going to be able to sort that out, but it's turned out the best car you've done so far. The body kit, colour and wheels look sick. Totally blown away by the reveal, what an amazing looking car, a real trash to treasure transformation.
Dude you have absolutely outdone yourself on this one... wheel and paint combo is spot on and that exhaust sounds awesome. My favourite car youve done to date. Great work matt.
Spectacular transformation, that is a stunning car. The decision to paint instead of wrap makes this build next level.
The colour looks absolutly stunning! Well done Mat! When you painted it i was doubting the colour, but seeing it finished it just looks amazing! Great rebuild by you and the crew. Love it.
So without the expensive paint, body kit and seats, and one or two more details, you could have had a completely rebuilt 718 S WITH an awesome exhaust and some more additional stuff that sounds like THAT for what... 30k?? Insane bro. Awesome build, awesome vids, and I respect the decision to go all out in the end because it was definitely worth it for how insanely sexy the car looks. Bravo.
The amount of progress this guy can make in 3 months is crazy, love the car and can't wait to see the other projects finished!
Next level entertainment. One of the best channels on KZhead for car restoration. Keep up the amazing work and thanks for taking us along for the ride.
Absolutely smashed it out of the park with this one! I love the Aston and others but this!!! What a next level looking machine! Awesome! And….that cinematography work for the reveal, fantastic, taking the channel to the next level each time! 👊💪
Your taste in spec for all the cars is so sick. It’s literally everything I would want done to my cars. Props on this build and all the others. I look forward to seeing that murci though. Congratulations on all your recent successes, it’s well deserved. All the way from Arizona, cheers.
Looks great! For the passenger air bag, I would check the fitting for continuity; it’s possible that the connector fused itself during the accident. A multimeter should give you an unification of if it’s still working properly or not. Worth checking
would never check any airbag system with a multimeter unless 100% disconnected! The easiest way to check is to fit a 3 ohm resistor instead of the airbag and see if the code deletes
Late to the party and also binge-watched.. Great series - far from tinkering on your drive with welding & paint job, but as always... the end result - absolutely incredible, well done!!! 😊
matt the work you put into the cars with a little help from your friends, is truly amazing, what a car.
What a car. When you were going for new wheels, I thought Oh No! not black again, but you've really aced it with those alloys, colour and style. And the RS front bumper and rear wing do set it off. Well done Matt. Great job
This man just keeps absolutely smashing everything he does! This right here is proof to not give up on your Dreams!
this - is - mental! I really like the build and all the history behind. nobody sees the work it takes to rebuild and upgrade a car like this after it is finished - and that's a pity! because it not only takes time and money to come this far, it also takes "Herzblut" as we say here in Austria. btw - i really like your channel! I don't have much time watching youtube and stuff, but when I do I only pick quality stuff -- and your's is quality from my point of view as another car guy doing lots of work by myself. :)
Well done guys. This was one of the best builds yet. I love everything that you have done to the Porsche. Awesome stuff.
The Porsche turned out amazing, the colour definitely makes it pop from others and the whole build is amazing. One thing that would have been interesting too see is, if you were able to tint the red part of the taillights black. This is definitely one masterpiece of a build. Looks great!
I hope lots of people find inspiration through your rebuilds. You just dive in and figure it out. Really enjoyable to watch. Thank you!
Amazing outcome Mat! Bodykit, colour, wheel etc 10/10. Each time you finish a project I go, thats my fav. This doesn't dissapoint.
Amazing work mat! You really are setting the bar now and your progress is crazy! 😁👌🏻
Well done, Mat. This car restoration is a work of art. Really enjoy this series.
I'm a huge Porsche fan, absolutely loved this series - congratulations Mat. Incredible job.
Dude! I watched this over 2 days on a business trip, and at part 4, 1am in the morning you had me thinking of how I could start doing this hahaha! Not gonna happen, but that's how much I enjoyed watching it until then end. New subscriber, look forward to the old and the new. Great work, I love Porsche and this was a job I thought wouldn't make it looking at the state of it in the beginning. Great content, great editing and the short parts are easy on the watching time. Thanks!
When I look to that color, I immediately think about a cheeseburger with ketchup.
Ys that brother, that's pretty ruud brother, how can u compare food to this beaut?I'm mean come !😬🤯👁👁👁🙈😱🙈🤨🤔🤨🤯🤯🤯
@@craigmorgan4676 relax
Sounds like jealousy has a shade, and it turns out its cheeseburger coloured
@@GLORYZONE92 the mustard color not my favorite.
Another masterpiece! Honestly Mat I love the kit, I love the new wheels and I adore the paint job and the colour! It looks amazing! Awesome work!!
Mat, you are so fun to watch! When you painted the Cayman yellow(ish), it brought back memories of my 1970 914-6 which was orange and black. I enjoyed it so much and wanted that sports car feeling back, so I bought it's best replacement, a Cayman S. The Cayman is the 914-6 done right. Thanks!
Well sir, I'd certainly tick the Mat Armstrong package on mine! This rebuild is the best thing to ever happen to this Cayman S. Blown away!
What an absolute work of Art, looks stunning, Fixed up & Looks Sharpe. Well done Mat, you cease to amaze
Great energy as always Matt. You guys have smashed, the car rebuild along with the TV production perfectly complimented by your character are always great to watch. Pat on the backs for all of you guys 👍🏽
Mat! You and your crew have got to be making the best content on KZhead. It’s absolutely awesome man. Love love love what you do, from the filming to the music to the builds to the best bit, you just being you. Hat off to you Sir 😊
That welder is a legend , just says 'yup' then makes a perfect exhaust!
I’m camera shy
@@davejacques2391 nothing wrong with that, your work is outstanding mate 👌 must have been fair loud in person !
@@bobhill5227 thanks man. Compared to Mats other cars I’d actually say this one is fairly quiet. Sounded great in the workshop though.
Mat, that looks incredible, honestly. Well done to everyone who contributed to this build
You nailed it AGAIN Mat! One of the best builds of your channel. I thought the yellow would suck but it looks stunning, fascinating car!
I’ve watched you from the very start matt!! And to see you doing this amazing is an absolute joy to see your an inspiration making me want to work on cars myself❤️love your work and love your videos!!
The detail and work needed to get this going Mat, one of those baffling ones, i never thought you could ever repair all of that, getting that roof off, jeez, to sorting the radiators and getting the inside right too, that troublesome left hand side as well, more a headache, but the end result. wowsers. Lot of work but by god what a result.
This build has been one of my favourites for sure. The whole transformation is mind blowing!! Would love a car like this. Great content as usual Matt keep smashing it 👍
That’s badass. Love the fact it’s painted and not wrapped. Wheels are killer.
£9500 for a paint job! OMG - It does look tremendous though! I'm not a huge Cayman fan but you have done an incredible job on this. Also loving the editing and soundtrack at the end. Cracking job all around Mat 👍
I have been waiting to watch this series for well 3 months now and have just watched the whole series in 1 sitting. This car is MAD
What an amazing build! Well Done Mat :)
Your best one yet. Looks amazing. The work you put in with absolutely no fear is credit to you. Well done 👏
I didn’t expect it to look that sick I’ll be honest, it’s mint. Loved this series. great videos mat 👍
This should be used as a Porsche ad on the official website and TV
WHAT A FANTASTIC LOOKING CAR ITS SUCH A PIECE ART !!!!!!........GREAT WORK MATT 👍
Wow this thing looks stunning! The amount of work on this seemed unrealistic but what a result Mat! 😎
Absolutely beautiful looking car, the reveal with fallen leaves was superb! Amazing job Mat, the 635CSI is going to be so spectacular too. ✌️
Binged this rebuild and wow what a superb job Mat&Co !!! I thought you’d see sense and pull the plug early on, but so glad you didn’t. That cayman is siiiick bro!!!!!
wirklich tolle arbeit. Größten respekt vor deinem technischen können und der liebe die du da rein steckst. Es macht echt spaß dir zu zu sehen. Für den preis, so ein tolles auto zu haben ist einfach der wahnsinn.
Ah, wish I could afford to buy even a broken porshe. Amazing content as always, you are true inspiration, made my day!!!
This looks amazing, it came together so well 👍 loving the new directing/videography too, keep up the good work, can't wait for more
That's a nice looking rebuild Mat. Hearty congratulations to you, team, and the myriad of great suppliers and vendors who support each and every project. And also, the car photo stills and videography are of an incredibly high standard too so a huge shout-out to the team of specialists involved! Warmest Regards - David from Melbourne Australia 🥸👌🍷🍷❤️❤️🦘
The Porsche was brought back to life and you guys went above ans beyond to make it justice, beautiful looking, sounding and just a gem to look at knowing the before and after.
From when we got to vote on what Mat should get next, to the Porsche being complete.. Thank you for an awesome journey Mat 👌
This car was a great buy! Great video as always, can’t wait for the next! 😃
This is actually incredible, this entire journey. To go from what it looked like, all the way to the finished product is absolutely mindblowing. Incredible work man, love your content!
Superb build and the quality keeps going up, it's great to be on a journey with you mat, cheers mate.
Looks bloody amazing, color, wheels, interior, plus the extras! 😍 Great job mate 👌🏾
my jaws dropped when the car cinematic began
Loved this transformation mate, well done! You really love and respect the cars you rebuild. My dad had a turbo s 944 and I still to this day remember the sound of the engine made me crazy when he stepped on the pedal.
That back box is a work of art 👍
Absolutely sick it looks awesome Matt what a job you have done 👍
As stunning as I'd hoped it would be! Smashed it again Mat and what an amazing collection you have now. Looking forward to the next one as always.
Dude that looks INCREDIBLE. In the autumn leaves like that, perfects shots. Drooling.
The editing on the reveal is soooo fire. crazy transformation
Mat this build is insane!!
The result is outrageous! What an epic episode. Loved every second as always l. So happy for you mate. You nailed it 💪⚡️
Amazing build! Loved watching the progress you made with the cayman! Its a beautiful car!
Awesome job as always Matt, in all aspects. Excellent restoration, maybe the best thus far. Next, can't wait for the Murciélago to be done. You definitely deserve 1 million subscribers by now.
The car look beautiful love the colour it pops so nice ❤
I have to say Matthew that’s got to be one of the best cars you have done !! Not too over the top , colour is amazing . Well done on your restraint on this one ❤
Have followed a few of your cars now from start to finish and this one has to be the best looking soo far - just stunning! Great work on the restoration AND upgrade... 🤩
dudes really put the work in yall are limitless best autotive tv right now
Ayyyyy let’s gooo mat 🤝🏻
Ayy, my 2 favourite YTers 🫡
Awesome build Matt! One of the best looking caymans out there! 😍💛
Those wheels are sick. This is my second time watching this build and still do this day it’s one of my favorites.
It looks awesome!!! Love the gt4 style look. I don’t think I could ever do the gt4 justice with my driving skills, so having a cayman S that kinda looks like a gt4 might be the perfect compromise, awesome looks, good driving and not too fast
Lots of things that was not accounted for on the tiny blackboard 1- New Suspension, shock absorbers, lower arms, drop links 2- New Alloys 3- Cost of tracking and allignment 4- Cost getting it VOSA MOT to be certified back on the road 5- Service parts, spark plugs, oil filter, air filter and oil 6- How many hours did you actually spend putting to all back together? The videos are inspiring when you have KZhead money and T-Shirt sales to surrport you. But the average man getting involved to do this will be in negative value once its built. Hence why you was the only one bidding on it. The car was good for parts only. As if you had factored all the above and labour rates and mates helping you out too can add another £10k easily. But great videos Matt really enjoyed the rebuilds. But anyone thinking to getting involved and doing it needs to know the numbers. After it's built it's then a CAT N car. Very hard to sell on!! As Porsche customers are throst fussiest customers in the world. Customers have been known to walk away from a deal if 1 service stamp is missing. Would be more credible if you accounted for every item cost spent. Including rent, rates, electric, fuel, Insurance etc etc etc
