I took a huge risk buying the cheapest Porsche 718 Cayman S in the country from auction. Not one panel was left un scratched or damaged. Over the past few videos i have been rebuilding & restoring it by adding quarter panels and even a new roof. But in this video i begin the Porsche GT4 & GT4RS upgrades.

For a guy that says he’s not a mechanic,you take on things that some mechanics won’t tackle so hats off to you .
For real,I was mind blown when he said he wasn't a mechanic. Impressive 👏🏽
How can you rebuild a written off Porsche and not be a mechanic. This guys got some serious talent
@@Joe-yt1xt amazing what you can do when your dedicated.
Delusional fans, he's clearly been int trade for years then sold an Audi....
@@mezalong ok? That makes him a mechanic?
It's not hard to see why Mats channel is growing and being so successful at the rate it has. Well edited and filmed videos, humble and humourous attitude, full disclosure with pricing, interesting builds with a solid rotation of cars so it doesn't get repetitive, and he gets so much done in every single video.. The definition of quality over quantity. Great job Mat!
I also like the way he says "but I didn't really need that" as if to say if you wanted to rebuild one you can do it cheaper 💪🏻
I completely agree!! And I also love whne he says 'Brand new second hand' it always make me giggle.
His enthusiasm with every aspect of his videos is amazing and he never fails to make me laugh! So many vloggers out there doing similar things to this have nothing on him and some are quite boring! This guy is such a breath of fresh air! Keep it up buddy your amazing at this!!!
Well said 👍
All have done evil “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23) The penalty for sin is hell (Revelation 21:8). Because of Gods love for us Jesus Christ came down from heaven to take the punishment for our sin on the cross in which he was spat on, beaten, mocked and laughed at.
Christ died for the sins of the world and The third day God raised him from the dead (Praise God). This was done so that those who believe on Christ will not perish (hell) but have life everlasting (heaven); be justified by Gods grace through redemption in Christ (John 3:16) (Romans 3:24).
The blood Jesus shed on the cross washes away our sin if we Believe in The Son of God and his finished work (ordained by God) on the cross. When this happens the believer receives the righteousness of Christ in place of their own unrighteousness (all sins are forgiven) and this makes them saved (going heaven) and they are born again as a Christian.. (Romans 3:25-26)

Have to say, this is becoming one of my favourite channels to watch. Great work Matt.
Me too! I literally drop what I’m doing when I see a new video has gone up
absolutely awesome editing and content. Loving every bit of it. definitely my favorite channel after CaseyNeistat whose videos are pieces of art.
was thinking exactly the same thing 👌🏼
Oh Mat you ruined the build with that spoiler............so sad.
@@ageary I personally don’t think it’s that bad. It’ll fit in the end
Just came across your channel. I couldn't move on to another video without complementing your attitude and work.
I am a certified automotive master tech but I also worked 20 years side by side doing body work in my garage and oh boy do I love seeing vehicles brought back to life.
I never worked on prestigious vehicles such as Lambos or high end porsches so I know I will learn new things from watching your channel.
I learn best by getting hands on tackling the tasks just like you.
You may not have any cert but with what I have seen I would be happy to have you beside me in a workshop, attitude and application go a long way 🙌🙌
Oh and one last thing, some dealer parts being cheaper than 2nd hand is a very common thing across all makes and models, I learnt many years ago to price every part genuine and aftermarket first then compare with scrap yards. It takes extra time but you will get the benefits in having more new oem parts on the vehicles.
Keep up the great work 📸💪👌
Thanks so much mate! ❤️✌️
@@MatArmstrongbmx anytime mate,
I'll set some more time a side to watch more of your content👌👍
I wish you every success in these builds, there is a monster amount of work in each one 🚐🏎️
I love this series, can’t wait to see it fully restored and mattified
I can wait
How do you not have over a million followers dude... You're humble and genuine... Keep up the good work
I've now binged every part of this series today. Can't wait to see what becomes of this car! You've really saved a car that anyone else would have just given up on. Definitely earned yourself a sub.
(Also am I the only one that doesn't hate the mismatched body panels...?)
Your not my friend 4:40
Oops but it actually looks kinda satisfying with tho colors
I thought Mat won't be able to fix this car but he just never disappoints
I love your enthusiasm, when you see the car programs that are on mainstream TV they are nothing compared to yours, congratulations on your success you have earned it.
This channel doesn’t feel like every other car VLOG. This is such unique content and its TV worthy. I love what you’re putting out Matt!
I’d love to see mat on tv. He deserves it. Totally different guy. Best thing about this guy is he’s the same person as he was from his first video.
Correct, no one is on his level
Definitely, like a new version of wheeler dealers I used to watch with my dad as a kid. Except these cars are in miles worse states.

@@BlessGodMinistry ok
I actually think it looks sick already, once the diffuser went on and you could see the whole thing it made sense! The side pods will complete it even more... great work as always!
This is the best channel going. Mat’s work ethic, enthusiasm etc is infectious! Keep up the good work.
I actually like it this way! The wing matches the insane body panels mismatch - looks like a proper tracked car!
Honestly find myself mesmerised by how much effort you put into theses videos and my god it shows. Videos are top class 👌. Completely admire how much effort you put into these. Especially having new sketches for your sponsor in every video , I never find the need to skip them. Keep up the great work Mat
Just started to follow this channel last night after watching the aston martin road trip, needless to say, couldn't get the smile off my face. Genuinely one of the biggest inspirations for me as the cars you drive are what I want to be driving in the future. Love your work man, keep it up!
Been watching since the late days of the TT Matt and from where you were to where you are is unbelievable. A positive, can do attitude with a fantastic work ethic is such a fantastic thing to have! Bravo buddy, you deserve everything you get👏👏
A tip for keeping the body lines when using filler is to sand to a tape line 👍 my background is clay modelling more than hard modelling but still used the same method when using the brand of filler you've got there
I haven't been here since the beginning, but this has quickly become my favorite channel to watch. I never thought I would be as excited or happy as I am to get a notification for a new MAt Armstrong video. Keep up the amazing work! Thank you Mat and everyone involved
Matt you are pure genius, seems like there is no limit in repairing a car when it comes to your builds 👏🏾. Safe to say this is my favourite RUclips channel, thank you 👍🏾
Cheers for keeping me sane every week Mat! It’s been amazing watching you grow and being a part of it!
Mat, your enthusiasm & excitement makes your videos so fun to watch. I am not your usual subscriber, just a lady who loves cars & engineering of all sorts, & I watch every video and love your content. I also love when Hannah is featured. Cannot wait to see the final product, particularly what colour you go for.
You’re easily my fav RUclipsr right now. Absolutely smashed this build 🥵
Can’t wait to see the finished product with a crazy exhaust and some insane wheels
Man I gotta say the quality of production the background music the editing everything about your videos is absolutely incredible I'm so grateful for you for providing us all this level of content for absolutely free 🙌
Another great video Matt. It must be a real buzz being able to do what you love. My old man was a 40yr time served mechanic and after years of failed projects together we finally finished a S1 escort RS. That was 22 years ago but the feeling of accomplishment is something that I’ll always remember. Keep going buddy.
This build is a real mission, nothing fazes Mat now! Cut his teeth on the early builds and now absolutely on fire! 🔥✌️
I hope you keep the way you do your content its just amazing, some youtubers lose focus of what we like to watch, please keep it real and authentic like this, I genuinely look forward to each upload!
So much effort goes into making these videos and repairing the cars.
It's as almost as you've got a degree in both video/editing and car customisations
Nice work Mat 👏
Fair play Mat for having a go at the things you do. In my personal experience when I do this it doesn't always go to plan but as you say you learn a lot. I have also realised that people are very quick to criticise and put you down and this is generally done by people who don't even have the skills to do what they are criticising you about.
I absolutely love what you've been doing. It's taking shape and I'm really looking forward to the next installment!
Crazy amounts of respect on this one. In the first video, I had no idea how you were going to fix this.
Definitely starting to take shape now. My hope is that you paint it that Crayon light grey colour that Porsche do. It would look amazing against the carbon bits!
I'm really enjoying watching this build, its not my kind of thing as more old school cars but I like your approach and the way you've tackled this build like the roof skin being bonded on. It's things like this and the way you dealt with it. Looking forward to paint and assembly and ya never know I may get converted to more modern vehicles 😂. Thanks for your entertainment!👍 Jon.
Can't wait to see how this beast will turn out in Matt's hands
The only channel I let every ad play all the way through...and click the links. Gotta support this flex. Thanks for all your efforts Mat.
I'd be replacing that rear bumper!
Good project, I wouldn't know where to start lol. Look forward to seeing the end result!
Yep I've repaired many bumpers but found the slightest tap and the repair cracks.... Cheap cars you can understand it but hi end cars deserve replacement parts.
I was fascinated at how you actually pulled it off! I also loved the tabs you kept adding as you went on. But the best part is your optimistic way of thinking and laughing out of trouble. Well done. Brilliant stuff from someone who isn’t a mechanic.
Mat im so glad i ve witnessed your growth. I always thought you were mad for taking and fixing cars in bad shape. But this is pure madness and you made it work! Love your content mate ive been watching since the TT era, you are amazing, keep it up!
Can’t wait to see you finish it! Keep going and I love everything you have planned for it, including that big wing!
Blows my mind how quick your turning these builds round fairplay brother some graft!🙌🖤
Loving this build, It's gonna look fantastic .Definitely the right choice with the rear wing and front bumper.
Hope you go all out on colour.
great video mat love watching you work so hard your getting so good at repairing cars
Looking forward to how it looks when it is done. It is sooo close. I really like that this guys is so happy, always smiling. I tip my hat to him for having the balls to take on a task like this. I became a subscriber because I really want to see the end result and I have appreciation for his work, and he does a good job! I wish I was a cheerful all the time like him! I live in Atlanta, I am not sure how many subscribers you have "across the pond". Looking forward to seeing more when they are released
God bless you Mat, honestly the job you're doing is not that easy for a normal person and this series keeps us entertained because of you. Cant wait for new episodes
Honestly my most favourite build you’ve done to date, you’ve turned a basic looking 718 into an absolute beauty. Keep it up Matt
I can't wait for the next video :D Thanks Mat for the beautiful content you delivering us
Honestly, the color combo is really sick! Not necessarily the color placements but just that combination of colors.
This build is 🔥🔥🔥 the gt4 kit looks amazing 👌🏻 well done Mat :)
I can see a tv series offer coming your way Matt, you’re that good!! Keep it up buddy, you’re a natural.
I love the colour combo how it looks how!! So sick and unique!! Exited to see end result
The GT4 kits is absolutely what I would do too. Including that RS wing - it looks SOOOOOO good! Don’t doubt that wing. It will make the car look awesome when painted. I can’t wait to see what color you do. Loving this build.
Out of many RUclips channels about cars, yours is very technical and informative. But also somehow very entertaining, without having BS talks 80% off the video.
This channel is so unbelievably entertaining! it’s actually made me love my car so much more and i want to mod it now lol. Can’t wait for the next video & i’ll defo be buying a tee
I found this channel through this build and although I've been down the rabbit hole of the other stuff this one is my favorite. Probably because it's on the list of future cars to own. Keep up the great work!
I absolutely love this channel and look forward to each new episode. I wouldn’t have a clue how to do any of these things so it’s great to see somebody else ‘non mechanical’ giving it a go. Keep up the brilliant work 👌
These videos and channel wouldn’t work without your personality, and brilliant ideas and editing - so good 👍👍
I grew up in my dads body shop from Age 7 and every car I've ever owned until recently was a crash damage repair, so I can definitely feel your love for this. Keep it up!
You never fail to amaze me Matt, and yes I can see the finished car. But not sure about the rear wing, but we will see
Keep up the good work Matt. Its good to see were you started and now were you are brings back memorys for me in my younger days
Matt, you‘re doing everything right. Your videos are amazing to watch, they never disappoint. Keep on going and your channel will grow further and further. Hard work really pays off!
Literally installing the same rear spoiler on my 981 as I type this out(if this is the one from eBay). I’ve been brainstorming the last few days with my mates on how we should mount it to the deck lid because of the gap in the deck lid and we came to the same conclusion about drilling out large holes from the underside to fit washers in through the bottom…. Going to water seal them with a boat epoxy after I install it most likely… I also had the worry I’d lose the bolts in the lid if they fell off so I swapped the Philips heads for hex bolts today at Home Depot… glad to hear you got them all out.. I was ready to pull my magnet out today to snake them out if I lost them.. love the documenting keep it up!!
This is the only channel I watch religiously. GG Mat and Hannah. Please keep the great content coming.
Wow, im really excited to see pt5. Since u going for the whole carbon fibre trim a suggestion for the roof would b to do a high quality carbon fibre wrap, which would also help covering up the Sika flex bead. None the less excellent work thus far i am looking fwd to the final finish on the Porsche.
God how do you just manage to knock everything out the park man! said it before and will say it again, every video just gets more amazing then the next, truly doing an amazing job
Can’t wait to see the end of this build 😍 Guards red would look sooo sick on it with the new GT4 kit…
Love the "have a go" attitude and the way we see what's going on - good and bad. Keep going man, best channel on RUclips!
What can one say about watching a build such as this.
I didn't even know who you were until today OCT 10th, 2022, I'm glad that I ran into your channel today.
I've watched the hole build series tonight what a joy to see the work that went into this build not an easy task at all.
looks fantastic.
I can't wait to see the end result and the smile on your face when your done keep up the good work.
This looks so good. Love this series. All the different coloured panels…this should get RSR livery and a big wing.
Your Videos cheer me up guys, and what a lot of patients you all have I'm from Scotland and aged 74 great show
That front bumper is dreamy! Going to be class once done
If you want to make the car accurate you’ll need to fit the rear GT4 extended spoiler (the one that raises) as you have the Cayman S version.
I am loving this series so far, Mat! Can't wait to see it finished and Armstronged!
The trick with the soft edge you filled in on the rear bumper cover is you have to first create a sharp edge. You can use tape you guide a straight line, then once thats in place you just sand the sharp edge down to equal radius as the rest. Attempting to go straight to round edge is very difficult. When hunting for highs and lows use a "guide coat" once you paint a layer of primer, add a light dusting from a rattle can of contrasting color then you can see as soon as you start sanding where the lows are because you havent sanded them yet
How do you not have your own Tv show your a natural talent at doing these car build videos, I’m only new to the channel as yesterday and have watched 6 videos and the amount of entertainment and learn is top notch mate
Great videos, I have always been interested in what is under the skin of these cars and this has given a lot of information. A proper job done but these cars appear to be pretty complicated cars to rebuild.
Simply magnificent! I can definitely see how this car is going to look amazing when complete. Great video once again, Mat!
Enjoying these videos, some cracking editing and the learn as you go attitude really pays off here. Credit to you 👍
That spoiler really looked out of place but suddenly looked so much better after u fitted the defuser, i like it!
This is one of my personal best build you make it 🤩Keep doing what you do ... and thank you for everything 🥳🥳🥳
RUclipsrs like you are so hard to find, I’m glad I found you your videos are brilliant
Definitely one of my favourite channels! Loving the crash damaged game, but would love to see an American muscle car type restoration!
Yessss dude! Love the progress 🙌🏼 looking so good. Love the GT4 front retrofit and carbon pieces, and I honestly don’t think the wing looks that big at all. With the rest of the carbon on, when it’s all 1 color, and after you do what you do with suspension/wheel setup I know it’ll look soooo on point 😎 can’t wait to see this thing all buttoned up. Like I’ve said in the last Porsche videos, this is EXACTLY what I want to do with a 718 cayman so it’s awesome getting to see you piece it all together and even more awesome to see how close you are to the finish line. Can’t wait to see the next update on this 🙌🏼🙌🏼
As always, stay awesome man ✊🏼
I'm an absolute Porsche lover... what you did to this car is...
MARVELOUS !
I dont even like Porsches but enjoy your videos with all the hard work and "un-necessary" mods along the way! - Keep up the hard work bud.
maybe the first time youtube recommended me a top tier video, will def keep watching the series!!
These builds are so satisfying to watch! What a huge amount of work, keep it up!
2 of the best car guys on RUclips mat Armstrong and m539restorations
Hand down the best .. 👌
This going to look pretty special. Love how you always put your own twist on it. Keep doing you!!
The way he says “defuser defuser” “exhaust” just reminds me of Clayton from love on the spectrum
Great build so far, can't wait to see the finished article. Keep going Matt, brilliant videos, love em.
Thanks for another great video Mat. As a former Porsche owner, I'm really enjoying this build & am impressed with the amount & variety of work (with some new skills learnt along the way) that you have undertaken to date. I fully agree, the GT4 look on this Cayman is the way to go!
Really gutted that I can't get a Limited Edition Cayman T shirt, as international shipping is not available. 😢
im so excited for this one since the beginning, because i knew that you'll transform it into gt4 look at least.. thank you
Always great positive energy! I love seeing these cars come together
Something about these videos feels so therapeutic. Thanks Mat
One of your best videos yet, Matt. A lot of work done there!
I'm 72 years young and it already looks the dogs cahoonies. Can't wait to see it in its final colour. Cracking job so far Matt.
Also well impressed with the video productions, oh and channel 2. Thumbs up.
Mat. Another brilliantly produced and edited video. The car is looking awesome and the carbon kit and diffusers are a huge plus.. Painted it will look stunning
I love the Matt Armstrong academy classes......and the spoiler looks good...trust me....!
Other than the wing, the car is looking spot on.
Maybe a middle of the road size wing?
Keep up the great job.
Finished watching the Aston, and it is spot on!
One thing I would like to say is that Matt has good taste/design when it comes to the T shirt merchandise. I really love the Aston Martin T shirt design. Lastly, can't wait for Matt to fully rebuild the Porsche.
Mat this video was so much fun to watch - love this baby 911 you are building!! Can’t wait to see the finished product 👍
