After i bought Adam Lz's old Porsche 911 992 GT3 in Florida i didnt realise how difficult it would be to find parts. Porsche in the US cannot sell you structural parts so to fix the structural damage i had to buy parts from UK Porsche and take them in my luggage. Only issue is i can't take airbags on the flight, so im hoping US Porsche will sell me them.

Actuall KZhead 😱 you are going to be big mat
WOW 😯
Fix your platform
@@janechanlder2675 you don't have a single video, sit down.
didn't realize how genuinely good of a person tavarish is, dude really goes out of his way for people, really defines the type of character he is, glad he was able to help matt out so much 🔥🙏🏼
Freddie has been the most kind soul since he hopped on YT and started the TT gallardo project. One of the few elite car youtubers who's absolutely genuine to the bone. So cool to see him give help and literally have his shop open to Mat for the rebuild.
This is true. I may donate a t-shirt that might fit him, even!
Tav .... respect ++
Yes, for the ones that have the money. Sure. Far and beyond.
Proving that is you’re nice to people then most will be nice back … plus, his actions also demonstrate you cant buy experience … its looking good Mat, keep the updates coming!
your dad laughing at you is the most genuine thing i have seen in a while... he is awesome
Its so exciting.
Freddie is a great guy, very knowledgeable, and has the biggest heart. It's so awesome to see him open his door to you for you to do this.
Apparently his UNIT is MASSIVE as well.
@@SaucyOperator Yeah and his garage
None of these people know anything about rebuilds they are bodge job experts. Shock a battery back to life 😂 yeah for 2 weeks
Very clever editing on these videos Matt! I don’t think people realise how much it contributes to the success of this channel.
Why would you think you’re the only one with brains??? Just give the lad props and stop thinking you’re the only one who knows about video editing!
@@duffydon1741 I don’t - he knows far more about editing than I do!
It’s the production and editing quality that sets this channel apart from others. Mat tells an engaging story in such a genuine way. I come away from every episode not only entertained, but having learned something as well.
I definitely realised that it takes too long 🥲🥲 it’s quality though. I wouldn’t mind a daily upload though 🫣
@@duffydon1741 play nicely
I absolutely love seeing the bond you have with your father. Him laughing when the horn didn't work was incredible!
His old man must be so proud of him too
Matt dad us the straw that stir the drink.he is am amazing welder tig work is what makes these projects a success
Please let the first drive be the two of them!
The Li-Ion battery in the Porsche (looks like it's an A123-made model) has an internal relay that opens when the battery experiences under/over-voltage and over-temp as a protection. When the relay opens due to under-voltage (as yours most likely did), the only way to get the relay to close is to apply a 12V potential across the terminals, and then proceed to apply a charging current until the battery reaches the minimum SOC to keep the relay closed (usually anywhere from 15-30% - this can be programmed to any value by the car or battery manufacturer). This is why the voltage started reading once the other 12V battery was connected to it. Modern 12V Li-Ion batteries are very smart and have many protective features; they also last about 10 years if maintained properly!
I knew there’d be something in the comments - I’m glad it’s NOT that the battery is gonna die soon anyway!
You clever man
SRUK fellas just did this to their Lithium battery. @CatchMeOffroad is spot on.
Not only Freddie is such a nice guy and love to help out, but also a genius figure out a way how to recharge the battery
He’s the reason it was push started too, this sort of work requires excellent problem solvers and he is certainly one of them haha
Love how your dad just laughs at you when things don’t go to plan. Proper dad 😂
Plus he is always willing to help when matt messes up top dad
@@BentleyBohemian_96 they are known bodge jobbers tbh
What a amazing guy Freddie is 🎉
Nice one Freddy 🎉
he is a genius
He only charged ‘26’hundred dollars babyyyy
Saved him 2900 dollars lol
Defibrillated a dead battery. Genius!
Matt is single handed carrying 2023 with This rebuild. Can’t wait for the next episode
Not even just with this build, I think everyone can agree he's carrying the whole world with automotive content on KZhead!
Same here
@@DRIVAMUSH Him and Koda the yoda, not really the same kind of content but my two favorite automotive content creators right now.
Agreed 👍
You for real? Mat is known in the UK for being GenZ rebuild guy who never fixes anything proper and nothing he owns works right. He's the quintessential bodge jobber. He's not even remotely close to being the rebuild guy in the UK he's tiktok grade.
I love how giggly mat is, really makes these feel so lighthearted and wholesome, probably one of the main reasons I keep coming back
The lithium ion iron phosphate (LFP) battery in the new porsches goes into a self protection mode when voltage goes too low. It just needs (as you discovered) brief application of charging voltage (12-14V) from another battery to re activate, and then should be charged to around 13.4-13.6V.
The charger is what is preventing any amps being delivered. The charger says it is unsafe to charge a dead battery, which is plausible, so essentially the donor battery is doing all the charging as it doesn't have the safety circuit and doesn't care where the power goes. The charger is then keeping the charge on the donor battery. I do it all the time with drill batteries, just link 2 wires from a donor battery to the dead battery and it will charge.
Don't buy a new battery yet, put another battery in parallel as people describe here. Charger will then work - may take a while.
@@Christopher_T_Paul Yup, had lead acid batteries explode in the shop before because they got way too hot because they were too dead to safely charge again
I guess you can’t kill the cells in a Li battery like you can with a Pb battery.
@@JelloTRgood quality lithium (LIFEPO4) have a circuit board inside that protects the cells, they are well worth the extra money, they are very light, cant catch fire, and last about 10 years
Everyone needs a friend like Freddie what a guy
That’s a bit racist innit? Enuf of that in the US as is

I've got some information for you about that lithium battery. When the voltage drops below 10,5v, there's a mechanical switch inside the battery that disconnects the internal components to protect them. When its disconnected its basically not a battery anymore, thats why it shows 0v, and also why a normal charger cant charge it. To close that switch again, you need to connect an other 12v power supply, for atleast 30 seconds. And thats basically what you did by connecting an other battery. Great job so far!👍🏻
Looking great so far. On the airbag thing. I had a crash a couple months ago where 4 airbags deployed. It’s incredibly loud and I couldn’t hear out of my left ear for a few minutes. Definitely a scary experience not to mention the crash. But I walked away unharmed as did the other in the accident thankfully so they did the job.
I JUST WATCHED YOUR VIDEO BEFORE THIS ONE. YOURE FOLLOWING ME AARON
but that’s horrible to hear. glad to see that your safe. loving your content as well as Matt’s!
The only thing you ear is a whistle
I had a bag go off me once, it broke my nose... and for like 1 second, I could not breath. The gas from the bag. This is something you never forget.
U had a gt3 rs?
My favorite series on KZhead right now (P.S. Mat if you need any sneakers while in The US lemme know I’ll take care of you 😏)
Matt when are you gonna build a track car???????
These are my two world colliding wtf this is awesome
it would be awesome! a sneakers with the same colors of the gt3, imagine that!
@@adtnotdead purple lobsters 👀
GT3 Sneakers!!!!! lets goo!
Absolutely loving this! You may of found this out already now regarding the lithium battery but…the reason it appeared to be completely flat is because inside the battery casing is a control unit and switched contacts. When the charge rate drops to around 11.7 volts the contacts open to save the battery from being damaged. If you ever find this again most chargers won’t send voltage until it sees a circuit…which you won’t have when the contacts inside the battery are open. This is why when you connected the additional battery the contacts closed👌 I used to work in a Porsche Center and having to explain this everyday was a challenge haha! Keep up the great work😎 12:44
@@user-pn3fg5nl9h don't listen to any of this bs get a new battery. Shocking it back to life lasts 2weeks or in UK winter about 5hr. The cells are damaged end of discussion
14:35 I've done this trick myself many times because modern chargers won't charge if they are reading 7 volts or lower (something like that).. I was ready to comment and tell you about that "trick" but thank God you guys find it out.. A weight just went off my chest.. Keep UP man!!
I'm going to be honest here: there is not a single video on KZhead that I actually look forward to watching, like yours, Mat. You were made to do this. It's natural. The fact that you engage your dad and people around you in the amazing project is simply outstanding. Can't wait for the next wideo!
Should try @m539restaurations then

13:31... A trick I do in this situation (charger won't recharge battery becasue it's too low (dead)) is I hook it up to a good battery first, and leave it there for a few hours. It will then slowly get some volts back in. Then, I hook it to the charging machine, and it works, every time, so far... \O>

I hope you have a better rest of your day brother. Stay blessed 🕊🦅🗽🦅🕊
Starting to come together. Can't wait to she it finished, such a beautiful motor 🤜🤛
Loser lol
A wonderful rebuild. Top marks to your cameraman, he doesn't bob all over the place. He pans back and let's the people do the movement. This is the method that the majority of professionals should learn. Give him £20 and a Mars bar.🎉
Why did you comment.
@@seanmoore4653 why did you?

On the 4:30 am bus to site in the Australian outback and can't ask for a better way to start the day than watching a new Mat Armstrong video. Keep up the great work Mat, you're an inspiration to many!!
Yawn
Mine?
G,Day
2800 for a battery, Im lost…
@@madswilliam4888 me too brother
Man TJ fumbled the bag with a rebuild series on this amazing car. Good thing you picked it up and started it! Carrying 2023 KZhead on ya back!
Your continous drive to solve & positive attitude on every hardship, really rubs on me. Now every small project i do, i try to be Matt - keep on grinding positively & do it until it is right & finished. Thnks Matt. I need those push.
Freddy is a genius! It’s so impressive how he can think outside the box- saving a lot of money along the way
Use Freddy Save Money
Discharged lithium batteries often need a 'kick' to get them going, if the voltage has fallen below what the safety circuit threshold determines to be unsafe.
Nope, it’s just basic logic when you realize that Lithium batteries usually have built-in deep discharge protection and the charger refuses to output any current if the voltage is zero.
He also helped getting the car started in the first place suggesting they push it on the casters- think of the time Freddie has saved Matt on this build, after all time is money 💵😂
It's also called using an old battery charger with out the safety anti shocking/sparking circuitry. When ever my battery is dead dead, I have to pull out the old boy I've had since I was a pup in the 90's that has constant *14.4v output. edited from 15v b4 someone corrected me LOL
Great progress being made here Mat, Freddy’s battery hack looked a bit frightening but so pleased it saved you a few quid!
I literally jumped when the battery was being installed and heard that noise....so addicted to this build
@@Gifts_ Awesome, great for the FL camping.
I wasn’t expecting another video so soon! 🎉 Awesome work on the GT3! My favorite rebuild series of yours to date.
This project is so insane, let alone having to make KZhead video's about it while you are at it. Mat you're the GOAT!
I hope to see you and Freddy collab again in the future. 2 great mechanics and personalities.
Intimate experience of building wrecked cars, either mechanical or structural. Working on brand new cars is a self-made genius!
Realistically speaking, I'll likely never own these types of cars, so the material in these videos is mere entertainment. But Mat, you're putting on a master class on patience and positivity in the face of constant setbacks and unknowns. That's where the value of these videos is for me. At the slightest whiff of any setback or uncertainty in my projects, it's instant cursing, anxiety and brain seize for me. You're a true hero and role model in that regard. It doesn't matter what you could be doing. I believe the magnetic attitude is what draws people to you
Mat's dad's laugh when that horn didn't work killed me😂😂
🤣🤣🤣 me too
incredible, I’m amazed that in 4 parts, you’ve fixed write-off level damage to a Porsche GT3, I’m guessing there is only a few parts left in this series, which is an awesome achievement - and testament to how much you have learned, how much more resilient you have become and how far you have come since Spice 45 and the TT. Great job!
Lithium battery’s go into a sleep mode and can register 0v hence what you experienced alot of people replace them when they are actually fine. So what you guys experienced was normal for one of them they are intelligent for a reason. Great video !
Freddie is actually a humble genius. His ideas are awesome!!!
all you youngsters don't know this trick it's hilarious. Old chargers didn't have the safety circuit and just constantly gave 14.4v. Only new "better" chargers have smart tech in them to not over cook the battery or have the leads live until they detect the battery is attached.
It's time for another weekly digest, thank you Mat for the amazing content. You continue to grow my interest in vehicle repair and diversity in parts.
This is my favourite channel on KZhead,I can’t wait for the next episode. I only found it a couple of weeks ago,and I’ve watched every single episode. Fantastic stuff.
Hi Mat it's Jamesy from Ireland 🇮🇪. I just want to say thank you for making the videos you make. By you rebuilding the cars you rebuild and put them on KZhead YOU SAVED MY LIFE. You have helped me get through one of the most horriblest darkest time in my life where I was taking my own life. But cause of your videos and watching your rebuilds you have shown me there is always a way through dark times. Even if you see no light at the end of the tunnel. Thank You Mat from the bottom of my heart
I'm on the edge of my seat waiting for it all to come together. I want to see it move under its own power with all 4 wheels on the ground. Nice job Mat, especially the dead battery hack. I've done that a couple times myself when the dead battery voltage is too low to get the charger to light up. It does work. Can't wait for the next chapter. God speed and God bless.
I love this channel. Just wish the episodes were longer. Matt seems like such a nice guy and very humble.
You already know if Mat Armstrong publishes a video, its gonna be a good day. Love you Mat!
Tavarish IS THE MANNN!!!! So cool of him helping you out!
Thanks for your content Mat, Hannah, Dad, and the rest of the team and Family. Peace and Blessings to you all
What I like most about your videos is your good mood! No matter how my day went, I know it will turn good when I see a new video from you. Thanks Mat! Btw: I used to have the same battery issue you faced with your Li-Ion battery, but with small AA and AAA NiMH batteries for RC: Had to trick my charger with good batteries and some tin foil into charging the dead batteries and get them back into life… 😅
YES, you can revive them that way
Maaaaatttttt, keep these videos coming bro, i can't even explain how relaxing it is to watch your videos. To watch a guy that has never worked on a car like this and start piecing it together like you and the team do is very inspiring im not even gonna talk about the quality of editing because its beyond perfect. Makes me so happy every time i see that you dropped a new video, keep it up man these videos are golden btw hopping to see Mat Armstrong x LZ collab soon lol
You are so positive person,sparkling with good vibes,thank you for that
Heyo, great video! I just wanted to say something about the li-ion cell that was deep discharged. It won’t have the same capacity like it had before. These cells don’t like being discharged that much and there’s no way to fix them sadly. It seems to work now but you might run into trouble in the future. (Idk if someone wrote that already) I love watching your videos, it’s what kinda got me into the car thing. Thank you!
I’ve never been so invested into a series. Great work Matt
Starting to take shape now, wasn’t expecting a video so soon. Amazing job and great to hear your Dad’s infectious laugh! ✌️
I love how you throw the boxes on the ground then explain they have explosives inside. Shout out tavarish. Realist in the game
Matt loving your way with your people, having fun and doing something most of us would not even try. And proving that the money these manufacturers make is mostly from thin air.
Time after time I keep thinking how humble you’ve stayed throughout your whole KZhead journey! Like truly one of the most genuine KZheadrs out there and hats off to you!
Your videos always put a smile on my face. Thank you for sharing your work and talent with the world
I had same with my 992 Turbo S battery. On these if they go below 11.7v switches inside the battery activate to protect itself and in effect shut off. You can't trickle charge etc, they literally need a big shock to get them back to life. UK Porsche quoted me around £1270 to replace with a gesture of goodwill - several months on and same battery is fine and usually reads between 13.3v - 13.9v on the dash when car runs.
ʟᴇᴛ’s ᴛᴀʟᴋ👍 ᴛʜᴀɴᴋs ғᴏʀ ᴡᴀᴛᴄʜɪɴɢ!
Freddy is the man. That battery idea was very smart and effective thought to come up with in such a pinch.
How did we get two videos in one week? That’s real nice progress Mat!
Good luck Mat, Cant wait to see it back on the road!
Matt, when you get back to the UK give the battery on the m5 a proper charge too before it goes completely flat. It sounded pretty dead the last time you started it
Great work. So satisfying watching you all repair and put it all together.
Sooo impressed (and inspired) by both you and Freddy! Fingers crossed that Freddy’s feeling well in spite of the smiles.
Some people just talk about it and others do it. You are a doer for sure. Well done and keep going with these great videos!
I can't even explain how glad feel for you guys anyway but when I see this lad help you out with this ( in Greece we call it PATENTA when someone fix things like this and save all those money for a friend or customer ) very very expensive Porsche battery congratulations to all and especially to the lad helping you finish this great car looking forward to your new videos god bless you !!!!!
it just has to do something with your general attitude and the quality of these videos. Like I can sit and watch hours of your videos without getting bored. Even in the worst times you are always thinking positive and that just gives me morale. And all the editing and the songs you put in or the narrative are just perfect. I think these are what makes me watch your videos alot, not the cars.
Great progress well done Matt and the team, love watching this beast coming back to life 👍👌👏
I could watch you doing videos on a wide range of things, you're very good at this Mat, but rebuilding a Porsche 911, my all time favorite cars, is just amazing. I bought myself a 1971 911T for my 21st birthday in 1996 for $7,000, which was a lot for me! I then bought dual Weber carbs and a set of Bridgestone Potenza tires (that's what came on new Porsches at the time). I loved that car so much, but it was too expensive to maintain so I got rid of it. Now my dream car is a Singer Porsche.
Been watching your videos religiously for a while. Your story is amazing. Keep doing what you're doing, you're doing great!
insane how quickly this channel is growing, love the content.
Your videos just get better and better mate, top work!
Keep it up mate. I love how your videos are child friendly (no swearing) so I can watch it with my kids. My 4 yo is very focused watching the repairs! lol
Hi Mat, really love your positive energy and ever lasting smile. So nice to see how you rebuilt an crashed car from zero to hero. Also kudos to your positive best friend of you your father and your counter partner girl friend. Now watching all from a hospital in Swiss so it gives me positive vibes en feeling. Thanks and keep up your positive way of doing everything!
Man I always look forward to your videos. it really makes my day. I wish it was longer lol. Keep up the good work. By far the best channel on YT for me
Much love mat keep your hard work ❤
I'm hooked on this build! So cool to have your Dad involved too, making some memories for sure. And Freddie the gang are so cool. You're not that far from the LZ compound. When it's built you should wake them all up by drifting around the place 😆
Awesome video. One of the only channels on youtube that keep me glued to the screen for the whole video!
С нетерпением жду каждый выпуск, очень переживаю за успех и волнительно видеть как у Мэта все получается. Очень рад за тебя, так держать))
That damned horn! I bet the wobble after the airbag was put back in has something to do with it... I should have waited two or more months so I could "binge" Armstrong!!! Can't wait until the next episode! ❤
Hi Matt - had the same battery issue just not driving my AMG GTR for 6 weeks. Battery was dead and the Lithium Iron charger would not commit to charge. New battery 3k NZD!! I looked for options. The best workaround is to put a normal charger on a standard battery and then daisy chain jumper cables to the lithium iron in the vehicle from the normal battery that you are charging. This worked to get enough power into the lithium iron battery so that when I connected the C-Tek litium charger back to the lithium battery 24 hours later it charged fully no problem. Cheers Haydn
Crazy that they make this so difficult
Mat I jumped too 😂 when that battery jumped into the car :) I am wondering if the Lithium battery doesn’t really need a BMS to charge like you have in other Lithium batteries if it’s a multi cell one. The car probably handles that in the case. Amazing content!!
My favourite KZhead content full stop! Keep it coming Mat, just so satisfying seeing these cars coming back to life.
Brilliant work Matt and Team! Great to see how you working with your Dad on your builds! 👏😎
God I love these uploads! Keep up the insane work Mat! Build is amazing!
That lithium battery is restorable, the cells just need life, a charger can’t do that but another working battery can. Ok just carried on watching….they did it

Mat is a cheerful lad with fantastic spirits & Jack is an awesome dude with great skills= great job on the GT3! Great job Guys!
I'm not even into cars that much but these videos are so positive and inspiring, I love them.
Great series so far, you got me as a sub. Love how you bringing in the whole family and making them smuggle parts lol Also it looks like you really like rebuilding these, it looks hard and rough but you're not afraid to start tackling it and I can only admire such mindset. It works out alot and when you hit a bump in the road you also tend to show it. And how you go about it and end up fixing it to. Like nothing can stop the project. Gonna be watching more because I've got this 335i sitting in the backyard and you spark up my motivation to get it going. So thanks for putting these out there.
I always get goosebumps when I see a new video from Mat. It's crazy how it excites me seeing someone doing something they genuinely love. Keep up the good work mate!👍🏽
We do this same trick with hard to find camera/ flash batteries ! They have a charge curcuit built in. Great work, always a pleasure to watch :)
Such a great idea to 'trick' the battery like that, what a save....MEGA!
