I bought an abandoned Gated Manual Lamborghini Murcielago from a track experience company. It was left there for 7 years after a mechanic attempted to fix a problem with the engine. After he rebuilt it the engine wouldn't turn over so they left it. Me and my dad have been working together to rebuild the engine whilst also doing it in a cost efficient way as lamborghini parts are not cheap. But today we finally install it!

A massive round of applause for Armstrong & Son and everyone who has helped on this build. I’m sure this was by far the most complicated rebuild you’ve had! Bravo Mat, we are all looking forward to the key-turning moment!!!
I Can’t wait to see guys jumping around when you turn that key ! I think maybe your father deserves that honour Matt ! He’s a legend
Don't forget to put oil in engine lol
100 percent.What a fantastic father and son.
I think it’s great too see you going through this experience with your dad. Parents are not around forever but the memory’s you are making during this build will last you a lifetime.
As someone who has lost their dad recently, its great to see Mat working on his dad with this. Savior the time you spend with him.
I’m in the same boat buddy. It’s brilliant to see. I wonder if the father son bickering is in the outtakes! 😂
A memory for life for sure.
For mine it's different. My dad's alive and in the family but he's never involved with us kids. So I never have that father and son bond since young. I wish I had but I know will never have.
Sorry for your loss ! I lost my dad in 2011 and it still hurts a lot...
Savour...
A bit late to the party but watching you work with your dad and how giddy he gets with you is so touching to see. My dad helps me with the physical parts of my car modification that as a female I'm just not strong enough to do. He's recently been diagnosed with cancer and the thought of potentially not having him to help me again really hits hard. Cherish your dad for as long as you can, there's nothing quite like it
Mat really levelling things up its crazy to see how far he's come it's truly inspiring 💪
He's the next BIG thing on utube ,it's magic brother!👏👏👏👊👍💪💪💪
Thanks so much man!
BMX, to a TT and then this! Enough said
Yes
Hell ya he’s getting like 20000 views every 5 minutes inspiring for people who want to make a mechanic based KZhead channel
Been waiting for this notification 🔥🔥

For too long already 😅
I’m exactly the same.
My name is Edward from Ghana Africa and infact I have followed you for some months now and I await when the key is going to be turned on
building this with your experience is truly amazing
Fantastic. Can’t wait to hear it run.
This was a really good watch, I think your efforts can be described as being brave, a massive thumbs up.
Aaron never thought i'd see you here!!!!!
Can’t find part 9 😟
The amount of work done in this one video was actually ridiculous. Unmatched on KZhead. SO excited to hear it start for the first time!
Not quite, while Mat gets things done, go check out M539 Restorations, he also gets things done.
You and your dad work so well together.
Hearing your dad laugh when the engine was in makes me miss my dad so much. Continue cherishing those moments. Good job boys!
We have all watched so many video adventures from Mat…And for me this one really encompasses what makes this channel so great, A genuine guy, doing what he loves, with the people that he loves supporting him. The Joy and pride on Mat’s father face when that engine went back into the Lambo…There’s no scripting that…..
Sure we can all appreciate that feeling where you get a job done with your dad, brother or whoever and you get that massive sense of achievement at the end. No better feeling.
This is so incredible Mat. From a TT repair to a complete V12 engine rebuild! Like what?!?! Keep posting these sick videos! So excited for what’s to come!
Crazy success story!
Love the relationship you have with your Dad and this build will create memories for you two to cherish forever. I'd have loved to do something like this with my Grandad before he passed. Keep up the good work Mat
So happy with your work, well done! I like not only the content you create, but also the fact that you’re honest, always give 100% and most important you’re working with your dad, wife, dog and ect… so happy to see that you count on each other! Also happy that there are someone who helps you with the repairs by finding parts and stuff like that, in these days there aren’t so many friends left in this world! Thank you for your positivity Matt! God bless you all! :)
As a DIY mechanic myself, I know exactly how incredibly exciting that is! To take on this car and all of its Gremlins was definitely an unfathomable task for most. Happy for you man! All the way from Massachusetts
Thoroughly enjoying this Murcielago series and really impressed with the work you're doing. I'm surprised you haven't repainted/properly cleaned some of the parts while everything was out.
Agreed, great opportunity to make the engine sparkle - afterall the engine is the star of this car - the rest of it owes more to a kit car than a factory supercar to my eyes. Brake line needed to be cut with the correct tool as well - very little of the pipe looked clear after the angle grinder.
@@tillyfoxtrotter I think the time it would take to do that could literally be starting of finishing another project so as a business move getting it up and running, then cleaning as well as you can afterwards is the best move. You can see the rush in fabricating the gaskets instead of waiting a day. I totally get it. I’d probably do the same. But I can also see why some viewers would be left unfulfilled.
I was thinking the same thing...
Just what i was thinking.
Me and my dad said the exact same thing…
I am not sure if I am more into the car or the simple fact that you are doing it with your father and just having a good time. Either way I love what you are doing Mat, best of wishes to you and your loved ones! Hit that like button people!
It just blows my mind how much engineering goes into engines like this. Let alone the level we are at today. Just amazing.
For the dashboard repair, I’d love a cross episode with the master Alex from NorthridgeFix. He also has a channel here on YT. He does crazy microsoldering repairs, has worked as a car dealer and also fixes a wide range of devices even without schematics. If that thing is gonna ever work again, he’d be your weapon to solve the quest!
I second that
I told Mat exactly this a few months ago and he investigated this option already I believe.
@@laurentmoens2634 Well, I guess it would make little sense sending it from UK for both expenses and time required to ship and fix items. But now that he’s after the 911 so he’s going back in the US, that might make it worth it.
I would send it to KZhead channel - Learn Electronics Repair. Or Mr Carlson's Lab, they would have a much better understanding of this sort of thing imo.
@@anthonydenn4345 Not sure if Mr Carlson would be interested in this. Not the type of electroniks he usually repairs. There are some insanely great YT channels but have an entirely different field of interest. The Signal Path would also be able to repair this I guess but he does only lab equipment.
Maybe it's me being too over the top, but I felt emotional when the engine went back in. All the hard work, all the annoying things that you and your dad went through, to see it going back in the body was such a relief and like I said, emotional! Well done to you all!
Im a guy 60years from Holland, simpy love the videos and to see the joy you have doing this. Can't wait to see it run.
I wish my dad were still around to do such a project. Breaks my heart but makes me so happy to see this at the same time. I love your videos. Your talent...
I can't believe in all the time you've been waiting you haven't cleaned up the engine ancillaries. It's so disappointing given you're doing such a great job.
The patience & hard work this man does makes him stand out from others. And this is the reason why Mat Armstrong family is growing so fast.🔥💯
Warms my heart seeing you working on the car with the old man.
I really admire that you are fixing cars with your dad. Mine is in heaven since 2019 and we would do everything together. He is my best friend, superhero, role model, and the man I aspire to be like as I grow older. You are very blessed to have your father with you. I'm very grateful because you make me dream about these beautiful cars and being able to do this one day. Hopefully im blessed with kids in the near future so I may also do things like this with them. You're both amazing!
You and your dad work so well together. This is a build you will never forget with your Dad. I can't wait to hear it start.
Mat have you concidered making a custo introment cluster? I am not sure if your Lambo uses CANBAN or the old system but they are pretty easy to figure out after a few days work and you can get a fully electric cluster and add custom stuff to it like Carplay
Mat is probably one of the only car youtubers I watch that his fan base actually watch his videos. I mean look at all his video views, easily reaches a million and other youtubers barely hit 500k
what i love about you is you are abslutly fearless and nothing could get you down , no matter what the problem is you try to find a solution that works and saves you some moeny as well , i really hope that you make some kind of guide for buying wrecked / abandond cars and how to estimate the value of them and how to estimate the cost of thr rebuilding , you are a real inspire , and your videos gives me motivation and optimism to fight for what i love to do .
You and M539 restorations are making the best, most informative and helpful content on youtube. You actually get things done in your videos and I can't wait for your videos to come out cuz I know it's gonna be awesome. Keep it up!
Stanceworks also make good videos.
And Salvage Rebuilds
I wonder was Streten would make of not using OEM parts.
It's so good to see you doing this with your dad, moments you can cherish, your a legend Mat. Can't believe how huge that engine and gearbox looked. 💯👍
So cool you can do that with your dad. Car time, dad time, all in one. With the added benefit of it helps pay the bills.
Love your channel and content. I am a bit of a petrol head myself and cannot accept that you put that masterpiece of Italian engineering ( engine)together without cleaning the exterior of it. The rust on the starter motor and black dirt below intake manifolds and sides of the engine is driving me crazy. Still can’t wait for the next episode.
What a bloody achievement! Well done guys and I have to say what a joy it is to see a father and son working away on this and having so much fun along the way. 👍🏻👌🏻
Great video again Matt. Can’t wait to hear it run. I think everyone who watches this channel will on the day be wrecked with a mixture of anticipation and trepidation, but I am confident that all your problem solving skills, learning and teamwork will mean it will all go smoothly and you will have resurrected a motoring icon.
When I realised how much of the car was engine and connected mechanics my jaw dropped. I know next to nothing about cars but this was so worth a binge watch. Armstrong and Son... a brand for the ages.
Wow I Don’t know who’s more excited watching the engine finally being lowered into the Lamborghini !!!!! Well done Guys great job and like you say a monumental moment!
HUGE step towards getting that beast up and running! Major accomplishment seeing the engine being lowered in. Super proud of you and everyone helping with the rebuild!
Amazing video Mat I have been loving the content recently. Trust me you have a great thing at your fingertips! Keep working hard ❤
This is so true bro. Love the videos matt
Video just came out mate get a grip
@@muteebahmed3291 bro he is reply to the recent videos idiot. Respect to ciro b for doing this comment.
@@muteebahmed3291 bro that’s so stupid he was supporting the channel.
@@muteebahmed3291 bro I was talking about his recent videos in general!
Epic stuff... "One small lift for Mat - one giant leap for Murcielago kind"
I have been waiting for an update on the car. Glad y'all got the motor in, and I can't wait to hear and see it running. Great job guy's!
Things are coming together 👍 Can I ask why you haven’t painted and replated all the accessories along the way ? This car is worth doing properly their prices increase every day
That engine is MASSIVE! It's basically a bit of body work, steering wheel and a mahoosive lump of grunt! Absolutely love your work and ambition to take this job on - can't wait to hear it run and see it drive.
You will treasure these moments with your dad. Epic times. I used to do all this kind of stuff with my dad but he's too old for it now. Absorb all the knowledge you can from him mate. Your becoming a great mechanic. Best way to learn is to just throw yourself at it. Well done buddy!
Congratulations on achieving this incredible milestone.......it was a real family effort & a joy to watch you & your dad overcome the many challenges associated with this engine rebuild! Can't wait to hear the engine roar into life for the first time. 👍🔥👍
Great work Matt! What a monumental accomplishment and even better to do it with your father. Congratulations
I loved the „7 years moment” with immediate echo-like phrase repetition. Cheers Mate!
Need the Next EPISODE QUICKLY Mat. Can't wait to see that beast Running!!!! Lots of love from Sri Lanka
Your hard work and consistency is amazing! How you’ve got the Lambo engine in already is mad! Well done Armstrong & Son! Keep it up 🙌🏽
amazing achievement so far Mat! This is an epic rebuild! Be proud of what you are achieving especially with your Dad as well! This car deserves to be back on the road!
Mat what a wonderful video to watch again, especially building this car with your love ones especially with yr dad. Looking at it wish my dad was still a round. He also loved cars and take great pleasure in cleaning and modifing his cars. He sadly passed away in 2009. So enjoy every moment with the ones you love and don't take it for granted. Looking forward to hear this one getting up and running. God bless you for who you all are. You are making a lot of people happy with the contends of your video.
i had dad that was the same , he was able to repair everything. glad i could learn a little before he passed away. enjoy your time with your dad. best moments in life :) btw , great job with lambo !
Youre such a good storyteller man, super proud of what i see. you deserve all the success you have
I am so excited for your vids, every time you have put out a new one I just have to watch it right away! Great job and love the fact you and your dad do this together. Must be great to have a dad like him. Can’t wait to see and hear if it starts and runs like the beast it is, you have done an amazing job!
Awesome seeing you achieve all of this with your Dad. Amazing how far you’ve come!
Very impressive, I love how well you and your Dad work together. The humour and the genuine excitement make this build. This is fantastic stuff! So entertaining! Thank you!!!
Not many people in this world can say they have rebuilt a Lamborghini Murcielago well done to you both ❤️
Mat I can't believe how far you have come with this build. Both you & your dad have done such an amazing job on this car so far. I can't wait to hear that engine run for the 1st time. Keep these builds coming, by a country mile thee best channel on you tube. 👏
Absolutely killing it. I have been waiting for this update! The positive energy even with s hits the fan is what keeps people here.
Absolutely fantastic! Absolutely hooked to this series, one of the most engaging guys to watch ever. With reference to those butterfly valves, I had a bmw 530d e39 with the same design, something to do with the emissions I believe. One of them disintegrated and completely destroyed the engine. The fix was to take them out and put a blanking plate in its place, once rebuilt didn't affect the car in any way. Hope this helps! Keep up the great work 👌
Huge respect !!! 7 years!!! Incredibile patience and commitment. U and your dad r legends!! Inspiring work. Keep going .💪
You could have tested the starter outside of the engine . Seems like your dad is enjoying this project and the bonus of working with his son great memories down the road. 🇺🇸
I have never really appreciated how big an engine in a super car is wow. You are one brave man to tackle this
Amazing progress Mat (and dad). This is such a great story and I’m completely hooked to see the next phase! Turning of that key is going to be special. HWBT all day!
12k views in 9 mins … wow 🤩
Matt when the build’s finished don’t throw away that blackboard, get it framed in glass to hang on the wall next to the car when it’s garaged👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I'm happy you referenced Jezza, he's a national treasure.
This has been a great watch so far! Good to see you getting the word out on the importance of Fuel Injector Testing & Servicing as not enough are aware. Shout out to R-Tech for their work on the injectors with the help of the ASNU Classic GDI. They're great guys! 👍
Awesome workmanship! Love how it’s all coming together and can’t wait for the key to be turned, well done! 😊
I honestly can't believe I'm so nervous WATCHING this build. Massive thanks to you and your team Mat for such a fantastic production
Amazing progress Mat! Love how your dad is so involved in helping.
So happy for you to be able to do this with your Dad. Really loving the series.
Wow - Respect to both of you, it’s humbling to watch you both work and is inspiring 👍
Absolute LEGENDS!!! Cannot wait to hear this V12 start, hats off to you and your amazing dad Mat, you are a great team!!!
You guys make this look easy. I have no idea how you do it but rebuilding something like this is incredible
Absolutely beautifull, great team work matt I hope you keep this car forever and remember the time and difficulties it took to overcome this and rebuild your dream car especially with your father great job can't wait to see it start up!!!.
I can't believe your work rate. Putting in the work in two different countries globe trotting trendsetter! I just hope you don't over work we need you for years to come👊🏽
Oh mane I'm so into your videos I can't wait for the next video.. if only I knew this much would have changed my life around.. blessing to everyone who's helping
This is another level 🔥 What an achievement congratulations to you Mat! Cannot wait to hear this running 😍
An absolute milestone for the Murcialago, legendary stuff as always from MA and big respect to MA dad.
That was one heck of an unforgettable milestone, congrats to you mat and your dad for rebuilding and installing the engine and id love to see it run for the first time🎉
Wow I do remember the moon landing and it’s a battle between Matt and NASA! Mr. Armstrong (Dad) your son is a miracle worker and apparently a part time rocket scientist and a new renaissance man. That Lamborghini engine is a wild bull tamed by our hero Matt Armstrong. Thanks, Tony and Patty from Texas! Cheers! Loved this episode. Well worth the wait.
Man, another awesome episode of this amazing journey! You're making amazing memorable moments with the people you love around you and I think that's far more important than the car itself! You're an amazing person Mat and it always puts a smile on my face whenever your upload a new video!
Shout-out to Mat blending multiple builds into engaging episodes. As one ends he can switch to another and we all catch up within minutes.🍿
Brilliant Matt, Good work n love the can-do attitude, It opens so many doors to life. We are blessed with the internet to help learn n find things to make more happen. I think the vacuum in the inlet is to change the fuling pattern for 1 cold running or 2 low speed, Ian Tyrrell touched on this on one of his vids, he said it makes have more torque at low speeds. Love the update vids Matt..best of luck with everything 😁👍
The only car rebuild videos that has me so hooked .....hurry release part9 and 10
Mat always has the best segways into his sponsor. Can't wait to see this build complete
Absolutely amazing progress! Well done Armstrong and Son!
Wow, amazing to see the engine back in the car! Well done to you and your dad, you make a great team!
Unbelievable effort! Fantastic work Mat! 🙏
Your videos are amazing you are such an inspiration Thankyou ❤
…. One giant leap for Mat-kind 👌🏼… I can’t wait to see what develops in this project… You rock Man 😎👍🏼
Inspiring stuff Mat. Truly inspiring. My Dad was a top mechanic, he even rebuilt the Merlin engine that was/is in the Manchester Air & Space Museum and I can hear him saying "That Mat he's a good lad!" Which, from Walter, is praise indeed
Wow what an opportunity to do that with your dad memory's that you will never forget your dads laugh is infectious
Nothing short of inspirational!! We’re all cheering you, your dad and your whole crew on 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
FINALLY! We waited 1.5 hours, i didn't go sleep, it's 2:29am, but now i can watch and peacefully go sleep🤗 Edit: It was worth it, engine looks massive! Hope the sensor wire works and nothing blows up when someone's gonna start the engine 🤭
Tip for the Instrument Cluster: You could use a thermal camera to see if there is a short on the board and if you identify a short you can replace that chip (In normal cases when you switch + and - a short happens and that area will heat up due to a short-connectivity)
