I bought a crash damaged Mclaren 720s from Amsterdam but after it was delivered back to the UK i found some serious damage on the carbon tub that mclaren repair specialist wont touch. As i had spent so much on the car i was desperate to get it back on the road so i called Mclaren for help.

It's actually crazy how consistent you are Mat, I follow so many creators on this platform, and car content is the most rare in terms of new videos, but you are absolutely spoiling us. And the quality never falters! You've easily become my favourite youtuber over the past year.
You said it perfectly, got nothing to add
I second this comment!..

I told Joey the Frane Doctor that he should fly out to fix your car and he is down!
@tavarish you should go help a brother out!! You’re the expert 😎
He is a magician
THIS would help a lot!
He does some black magic to fix that carbon.
What do you think about Mat upgrading the turbos?
Just when I thought Mat could not find a more insane project, he finds a Mclaren... I am so very impressed with your positivity, and your mindset for making this work... HARD WORK BEATS TALENT!!!
Yea. … he is talented though 🤔
My man really does not give up, I started watching your videos about a month ago. Have been binge watching every build.
Me too
I'm so happy for your Dad, he's having the time of his life sharing this time with you. Well done Mat.

Its good you can spend so much quality time w dad

100%
@@winbig1 Aye you are indeed.
V-Tuned in Tennessee did what you’re doing. He had a crashed 720S and swapped tubs he might be able to help you. It was a big job but he did it and ended up with a beautiful car. Good luck Mat!
Or his buddy Freddy who’s had one repaired already and it came out perfectly.
what vtuned did really was incredible. not many people can pull that off
Took him a while though!
Tavarish has a person who repairs the carbon tub.
Keeping it left hand drive will retain its value. That tub can easily be worked to convert to LHD. No brainer 👍🏼
What’s more enjoyable to watch is the father and son working together and having fun….!! 👍🏼👍🏼
something real some real
Definitely upgrade them turbos. Looks like you’ve went big with this build. So don’t go small on the upgrades. Make this McLaren one of the best builds ever. I wanna hear it scream. And I wanna see it killing it on the track. You have a car with so much potential. GO BIG MAT!!!!
Yeaaaaaaa😄😄
It would destroy the engine
@@Aerrie2if you take care, it won't 💀
Do not upgrade the turbos or tune this engine. See what happened to Tavarish. The internals of these Mclaren engines will not withstand increased loads.
This guy is so addictive to watch.. i mean what he does with car fixing.. its on its own level.. im starting to think there is nothing impossible with Mat🔥
It’s his positivity! I’m not a car repair guy! Lol
@@alviltayco3713you nailed it, honest positive and REAL
Yep..! 😂😂
I recently lost my dad and seeing you enjoy so much with yours is so gratifying. I love watching your series as I can imagine doing the same with my dad. Love it Matt! 🙏🏽
sorry for the loss man, hope your doin good
Its an absolute dream & blessing when you and your father share the same passion and hobby….
Hi Mat, you may not know it, but your channel is VERY therapeutic for people with mental health issues - in particular severe depression and forced loneliness. You take a visibly almost-impossible and terrible situation and fight through it, without giving up, until you have beaten it. It is very inspirational to the down-trodden. Your optimistic positive voice is also a source of company to many. I just wanted to make you aware of this side of your channel....
The bond you have with your father is truly heartwarming, keep doin what your doin brother 💪🙌
Cannot believe that you and the gang seem to just take everything in your stride. Most would be frozen by such a challenge. Matt rises to the challenge, showing us all that being fearless is the way to go. Awesome 👏🏼
That's one way of putting it...Fred Karno might be another
My favourite creator on KZhead. Your approach to every problem is inspirational. Can't wait to see where this journey takes you
Man! Rebuilding such a complex car with this amount of damage is unbelievable! Love your passion, determination and content that all of you guys produce! Keep it going and good luck!
Mat, you have balls of steel. You never cease to amaze me how brave you are when it comes to buying an fixing the salvage cars you find and buy. Top guy!!
No his are titanium
It's actually qiet dumb what he is doing. Paying that that much without even having a good look on a car before. But he grows his channel this way, ears loads of money with ads and in the end he sells the car through his "lottery" for way more than market price. So its win, win. He earns loads of money and we get awsome videos.
@@henrik2935 so its "actually" not quite dumb after all?
he literally flew to amsterdam to check the car out before he even bought it? lol@@henrik2935
@@henrik2935Sounds pretty smart to me?
So invested in this one
Absolute legend ❤️🙏
I've been watching you guys for years! Guy* Why don't you make some car content?
So is Mat :-)
I’m investing
@@MatArmstrongbmxget the frame doc to help u out with the firewall on the new tub. It would be an easier fix than fixing that tub. Plus you have the skill and knowledge to get it swapped. Tell tony good job on getting it on the lift! 😅
The amount of knowledge and believe needed in yourself for this project is insane! Two thumbs up!
I started watching you Matt only 5 months ago and I'm mind blown to how you never give up,like you always find a way and that's pretty amazing man.I absolutely love watching your videos and it also teaches me things I never knew about cars.... just keep it up🤛🏾
Love the fact that you’re stripping the McLaren down like that. Never mind the outcome, this is extraordinary to watch. I’m blown away by how complex this engine and car are. It’s quite unlike anything else I’ve seen
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again…the level and amount of jobs Matt can take on at once, and still have the ability to commit time to all of them and upload 30+ minute long videos constantly on them is absolutely insane. Keep up the insane work man 👍🏽
It's his job, without views and advertising he'd be unable to fund this
@@TheOffroader7458 I never said he wouldn’t? Doesn’t not make it equally as impressive? Just because it’s his job doesn’t mean it’s not an insane amount of hard work and dedication. As long as big financial risks which he willingly takes on. Not sure why you’re trying to discredit him 👍🏽
The video is 17 min long
@@TheSuperBoyProjectI was thinking they were getting shorter!
I think for me it's the bond between you and your dad, that make the videos one of the best on KZhead.
The work ethic on this boy. Love that you're reshelling it, i was fearful youcwere going to try to bodge a carbon repair. I'm fully behind this build now!
I love the 'never say die' attitude of this channel; these guys just don't give up and clearly love the challenges they tackle...Great viewing, guys...keep 'em coming!
where my notification crew at?!? here we go! 🤘🏼
Here bro
Hreee!!
Woot woot!
Here we are 😂😂😂
Here!🫡
Love the fact you get to spend quality time with your old man.. respect!!
I can't wait to see this project as it goes along - I'm hooked! I love your positive attitude and skill. Good luck with this one!
Absolutely mint. Matt has got to be one of a very few KZheadrs who actually cover a lot of ground on his videos when he's rebuilding cars. Love it bro
Who?
No fear
Puts all the costs involved in and good content
I knew Mat had this all sorted out before buying the car. He plans these builds so methodically, you can guarantee he had that tub secured before buying the Dutch Mclaren. The rest is theatrics for the sake of KZhead entertainment which builds the suspense, & it’s all brilliantly crafted &so watchable. Hats off to you guys!
Don't fit big turbos without forged rods as they will bend.
Can we just appreciate the awesome production quality of a BMX rider holding a camera while rebuilding supercars with his dad in his garage. Keep it up Mat ❤
Man you are a brave man, I’m amazed you have the guts to tackle these projects, this is insane, keep up the good work, your channel is so inspiring I’m checking every other day for new videos could watch this all day long 💯
another great one, your enthusiasm at it all is amazing , cant wait to see this carry on !
Tony makes this channel just as enjoyable as Matt does. What a great thing to be able to work with your dad like this. I had the same type of relationship with my dad up until he died when I was 18, I am now 36 and still miss him and all the things I couldn’t share with him through my adult life. Appreciate all the time you have with your family. Keep up the good work Matt the channel is doing great and I enjoy watching every episode. 👍🏻
I'm sorry for your loss. Being a dad myself, I understand how you feel. I have the same kind of relationship with my eleven year old son. I can't imagine my life without him by my side.
I lost mine in 2019 man. It is terrible. Im sorry for your loss mate
Respect bro!!!
I havent lost my dad yet, but i lost my stepdad a few years ago. and man do i miss him. Very handy and taugth me alot of stuff. I'm sorry for your loss.
Do the connecting rods too if you are looking at bigger turbos. Sick video, insane amount of progress in a single video. Very satisfying.
same thing i was thinking
I literally just commented the same thing. These engines aren't known for their strong rods, bigger turbos would certainly place these rods in an uncomfortable position, especially with all the extra torque being produced.
Great content, I would definitely do the RHD swap seeing as though to tub is set up for that. All they LHD parts can be sold on to help pay for new parts. You all have such determination where most of us would throw the towel in.
100% agree. Sell the LHD parts to fund a RHD conversion.
This is gonna be an epic build Mat. Best of luck with it. Can’t wait for the next part 👍🏼🤩
Legends, all of you. As a car guy with a broken back you are really helping me get my fix of car stuff!!! Thanks Mat. Your Dad is super cool. Reminds me a lot of my Dad. Stay awesome!!!
Just when you think Mat has peaked, he comes up with an absolute belter of a project
Prob my fav build so far, thats alot of commitment Matt, super complicated build, love it
So cool to see you and your dad working together ❤
I crave more of this; it's an astonishing build. You're brilliant at what you do. Keep up the fantastic work, and thank you for letting us be a part of it.
Mat before you upgrade ANY performance parts like the turbo's I strongly advise to upgrade the cylinder rods, otherwise you'll end up with a blown engine like Tavarish ;-)
Amazing 🤩 your certainly going onwards and upwards. Been watching from the start and really can’t believe how far you’ve come. Credit where credit is due. Well done 👍 🙌
Another amazing rebuilding series love these
The amount of progress Matt makes in one video is monumental
Great video, Matt! I wouldn't upgrade the turbos unless you are sure the internals of the engine can handle it. You don't want to have an incident like Tavarish! Can't wait until the next video!
Perhaps a collab with RE Performance for some Rods whilst the Engine is out 🤔😎
The rods are surprisingly skinny on the McLarens
Yeah I just said the same thing - do not touch the turbos until the rods are upgraded. That Larini exhaust system is enough of an upgrade for now.
I hand it to you Matt for your resolve and determination...keep up the interesting content... You inspire us all...to leap into the unknown
Ur amazing bro keep doing what ur doing n I’m glad you’re dad is in all these vids he gives out a good vibe
Mat honestly, I still cannot wrap my head around how you always find the parts you need, just somewhere, how impossible it always seems. In addition, your videos are so amazingly done and I always have the best of fun when watching your content. Also, you just keep finding new crazy cars to rebuild. You are motivating me to repair my own car with confidence. Just an amazing guy, cheers Mat, keep at it
Its part of the story Lmao
He has 1.7m subscribers I don’t think he has too hard of a time finding stuff he needs lmaooooo
This is absolutely mental, love the content and the balls to take on projects like this. I'm proud when i've changed a headlight bulb 🤣
I think that's why most people don't do this. Dismantling and putting second hand parts back together is a bore. At least if the man could actually work on the engines, but he's literally just picking up cars which have been written off because uneconomical to repair and doing it himself. If he wants to lose time its his problem.
Loving this journey, you’re sharing with us Mat thank you you’re doing amazing job until the next one mate 😊😊😊
so happy i found this channel. Mat you are inspiring.
Keep up the good work these videos are insane absolutely love them all the way from 🇿🇦 watching
Same
Same here just this loadshedding is a pain.
Did you see the picture he used of the McLaren accident, it was in SA I think cape Town
This must be the most difficult build you have started. This will be great to follow. Nice to see that you dad doesn’t see any problems.
Gotta love the father & Son Combo! Keep up the good work Matt!! Good thing you have Freddie as a friend. The guy is full of McLaren knowledge at this point!! Great vid!!
Hurry up with part 2, loving all your car builds. Keep up the good work.
I like how you keep taking on bigger challenges to avoid getting stuck in a comfort zone 😎
🏁🏁Gotta Love the full Mclaren attire …way to go MR Armstrong 😂😂😂
Excited for this build Mate good luck.
I love how much of a bond you have with your dad must be an amazing feeling when you build a car together. 😊
Matt, I've been late to the party, so to speak, as far as subscribing to your videos but let me say that I absolutely love watching these. The relationship between you and your dad and your absolute joy you must have to work on these beautiful, mobile works of art is what hooked me to your channel. You have an amazing attitude (at least on camera) even when things don't go your way. I'll watch everything you post as often as you post them without fail. Your videos are a highlight to my day any time I sit on the couch to settle in for the day. You and your dad are the best! All the best from Atlanta.
Be careful upgrading the turbos you do remember what happened to Tavarish's 675LT don't you?! Make sure you upgrade the internals while you're there as well otherwise it might go bang!
You cliff hangers and snaps are so good Matt, I've become a huge fan in such a short amount of time. Really inspiring and making me want to fix cars again!
Huge support to your courage man❤
The amount of dedication you have coming from an Audi tt to this mate is incredible absolutely love your videos keep up the good work 💪🏻
I always think how impressive it is that you guys just know what to do or what direction to go with these projects. I would be lost 7 bolts in 🤣
These videos just keep gettin better and better can’t wait for this series
I love that you can work with your dad Mat and you love working together, My dad was a Motorbike and Car man, but died way too young and we never got the opportunity to work together.
you are a madman to even try this rebuild. love everything you are doing. keep it up
I want more of this , what an incredible build , you’re brilliant in what you do , keep up the incredible work you’re creating and letting us be apart of
Am I the only one who never wants his videos to end? His Channel is the greatest spoil every week and his passion for difficulty is humbling.. Your Father is an absolute CHAMPION.. Mr T@#y I Salute you for raising such a great son.. Keep It coming Man.. You GOT this...
The positivity of this channel is infectious!!
You work hard MA, amazing content!!
This is going to be some build Mat, every build you just take it up another level. I love McLarens and to see you save one is amazing. Looking forward to all the future videos
i love this channel so much made me start doin the work on my car and i think i found something im passionate about because of you thanks matt keep up the good work
Nice work Guys,Wow this is living the dream from a TT to a McLaren 720s Love it!!
Dudess about to hit a goldmine of content on this one. Love your work Mat can't wait for this adventure
This is an incredible endeavor and it looks like you’re already blazing through it. That being said I wouldn’t upgrade the turbos, apparently finding the right pressure in these units is really finicky
Appreciate your hard work man 👌👌
You guys are wild man, I love it 🤟🏼
This job looks mega. Moving every single part into the new tub is just insane. 🥵😍
Never a doubt that you’d find a way to make this work Mat! Keep smiling sir, Because good things happen for good peoples!
Mat, nothing short of brilliant, the way you just get on with things. Well done and good luck with the build.
Mat Armstrong Awesome Video I'm glad managed to get a Tub for your 720s rebuild and got the engine removed and I can't wait to see more of the 720s Rebuild
Mat you never fail to amaze us just when you think what could come next. Then you go and pull this off! This is one huge accomplishment 🎉
Incredible car, but an even more incredible restoration. Fascinating to see how these beautiful machines are put together...and come apart! What a win on finding that tub...a genuine WTF moment when you unloaded it haha. Good luck!
I love this channel! The fact your dads in all of them made me subscribe! My dad passed in June and I miss wrenching and goofing off with him..
How you stay sane is beyond me mate, helping a lot of new petrolheads understand motors which is amazing ❤
The amount of hard work that mat and his father do is incredible thats what i like about it. It pays of the hardwork
Keep up the great work mat❤
Thank you Matt, as a time served Paint sprayer we painted everything from Vauxhall Novas to Lotus Carltons back in the day including the rich and famous peoples cars and Motor show cars, I am very impressed how you and your Dad do these rebuilds. You have a great following , all the best,
Your killing it mat, keep up the good work 😊
Your builds never disappoint and its now becoming the Matt and Toni channel well done guys keep it up
How the hell do you keep on taking your journey to the next level...... Every time.... Incredible and you're a local lad 👍👍
Man I love this guys show, keep it up brother. Watching you all the way from Dallas, Texas.
I love how nothing really phases you anymore!! Keep up the awesome work. 👍🏻
Buzzing for this build. Mat you’re such a ledge man 👊
I’m amazed at the quality of the builds or more to the point rebuilds of the cars you’ve done. I’m pretty sure the Mclaren won’t be any different
I used to work at mclaren automotive, building 720s 765LT and the rest. See all the guys that work there… someone as clue on as you will 100% be able to this! Can’t wait to see the upcoming videos! Keep it up!
Proper looking foward to this build Matt! Yours and your dads relationship is mega! Best friends for sure! 👌🏼💯😎
