Always nice to see the manufacturer/dealer willing to lend a hand rather than gatekeeping all their helpful knowledge

Hey Matt. I'm a BMW Body Technician with 12 years of experience, so I love to watch your videos.
You are not doing bad, but need to remember some steps, like welding spray called Inox in between the joined parts where you have sanded for weld connection, and you have to apply more glue in between the aluminum and steel part to make sure everything is covered and has some spacing between it, since aluminum will corrode way faster than iron.
On the rear quarter panel you have to actually replace it because of the bonded seem in the wheel hole, but you can ( not professional fix and not approved fix ) go over it with a sealer or body glue to make sure it's closed for no rust in the future.
There's some more points but you learn every time you do a car and it's great to follow your development.


Keep up the good work :)

Freddy is a real one come to visit your friend after a near miss … is so humane… we men these days can learn a lot from such loyalty and support…

I like how the cameraman is included in every video, but Mat armstrong's dad is a really nice guy and supports Mat and helps him rebuild cars. He really deserved the ferari that Mat gifted him. Cheers Mat Amstrong, keep up the great work

I am 74, female, haven't got the foggiest about how to build cars and I LOVE your enthusiasm, craftsmanship, humour and how you, Matt, work with your father and the team!
Love from 🖤❤🧡!

I'm a Body Structures Engineer ( worked on Rang Rover, Defender and jaguars). Original Rivets are SPRs ( self pricing rivet) and can only be fitted with SPR gun which require double sided access. The one you bought are called POP rivets or mono-bolts. If you are using mono-bolts, make sure correct adhesive specs suggested by BMW/Rolles Royce is used. Otherwise it might fail. Front structures performance is is very crucial in high speed crash.
disclaimer: Just a suggestion

you may want to double check any of the electrical connections I do up on the car ;)

Just a quick shop tip when you are welding in a nice engine bay put a fire blanket over the engine. Those hot sparks will melt little pock marks into hoses and plastic covers if they land on em. Can also be bad if by chance it landed on part of the wire loom and melted through.

Been a body repairer for 3 years and I’ve been hesitant to start me own thing, watching the videos here is truly great motivation 👌🏻🇿🇦🇿🇦

Hi Mat, I live in the United States.
I'm Ricardo, I'm 55 years old. I no longer work. I have a disability. I use oxygen to walk and I was a truck driver but I had heart surgery but here we are.
I am a fan of your 2 channels, you are incredible, I am very entertained and I laugh a lot, also your entire team is incredible and a special person. My is your dad from Apollo and you are both enjoying each other's company. That is nice, take advantage of all the time you are with your father, mat because many of us do not have the opportunity to be with our father and share with him your achievements and projects. Thank you Mat for everything you do to entertain us and learn through this medium, thank you 😅😊

Best channel in the car space right now . Keep it up Mat!

Coming here and hoping you see this Mat. I’m 34, American, never searched a thing about super cars or rebuilds, and some how the YouTube algorithm showed me one of the McLaren videos. I ended up watching that entire series and have been absolutely hooked since. I’ve binged the Audi Q5 up the the Audi R8 and I’m loving every bit of the content. You have quickly grown to be one of my favorite YouTubers. And side note, your dad is one of my favorite people that I wish I could meet. Y’all seem like genuinely good people and I love the channel. Never stop doing what you love!

Mat, some friendly tips for you with body work:
Don't use a belt sander to grind out spot welds, this removes material from the adjoining panel that you want to keep. Always drill spotwelds with a spotweld drill bit.

Always cover glass with at least some thick cardboard, fire blankets are best, but cardboard is the cheaper option. This prevents any sparks from burning the glass, you'll be surprised how far those welding/grinding sparks fly, and quickly make small burn marks.

Anyways, great videos!

Let's have a little shout out of appreciation for Marcus Rashford and his car guys for passing on the parts, they didn't have to and it's a proper cool gesture. Another appreciation shout for the Rolls Royce tech, passing on simple yet essential information to help out. Superb. Great progress, can't wait to see this finished and 'Rolling' on the roads!

Pro Tip from a Euro tech, you can pressurize the brake system by pumping the pedal up, and crack the hardlines at ABS module block, the air will escpae from behind the flare fittings and it will resolve the airlock issue at the Module. You can do this at the master cylinder or any other air lock point with a joint.

I love how you attracted over 2 million viewers in the first 20 hours and still assume that RR won't have a clue of that car's history when you roll in for warranty work. I also love that I have yet to spot you using a manual or any kind of documentation at all in your videos. Keep up your excellent work! You spread such pure optimism here.

Hey Matt, love your videos mate. My dad passed away yesterday and your videos bring me great comfort and happiness. I love seeing you and your dad work on all these projects together. Tell your family that you love them today never know when it's the last time. Much ❤️

Mat, the sensor in the grill is a night vision camera & the spirit of ecstasy cover should have x4 small springs fitted underneath it 👍🏻

I have an AVO Mexico which I've had since the late 90's. Was hit by, of all things, a bloody Metro! Old lady pulled out on me and took out the rear quarter (steel Forrest arches). Was devastated as the car had a full metal respray just a few weeks before. Called up a friend who is a panel beater and he arrived with a couple of friends. Truly a science and real magicians! I sat there in amazement watching them work away until they weaved their magic on the rear quarter (very similar damage to your Rolls). Took an afternoon but was astonishing what they managed to do. I have nothing but admiration for their skills. The body shop where I had the car painted took pity on me (think they really liked the car and the colour) and did the touch-in respray for absolutely free! I still have the car to this day. I still rag it around hard as it should be driven. You would never know the damage was there.
