I bought a totalled car in the US and fixed it in my driveway because of you! I had numerous "oh shit, what have i done" moments. But to my complete amazement, I successfully repaired the car, and drive it daily now! One of my proudest moments, at 55 years old.
Proud of you mate
55 and still doing what you love good job🎉
Well done mate what car tho
That’s awesome. Persistence pays off
What car was it?
It was awesome to see you give your dad this Ferrari, he's such an amazing person ❤
To those who still have dad's in their lives, cherish them.
So true, my dad passed away when I was 12 !
Right... this video hit me pretty hard.
I worked hard and saved for over 4 years to fulfil my father's dream.
A convertible Mustang in wine red.
But unfortunately he didn't survive his heart attack.
Half a year longer and I could have fulfilled his dream.
Spend time with your parents, it can be over quickly!
😅😅
Mine passed this last weekend at 62 from lung cancer and when they’re gone they are gone.
@@jamesbarber5410 My dad was only 45, massive heart attack and no warning. Most cars were pretty boring back then and he was supporting three young kids but I know he’d have had some nice cars in later life. Am 69 now and still miss him to this day !
my dad died in January, and i miss him so much. And you making your dad happy like that, will be you with you forever. Even watching this made me cry thinking about mine.
I know how you feel, my dad left us on the 31 Jan 2024, we miss him so much. Great to watch this with his dad.
Sorry for ur lost I hope u enjoy ur day
I lost my Bio dad I never met in 2015 and my Father that raised me since I was like 2 months old this past November. It sucks.
@@Marine2111usmc same my dad passed away in 2019 its been 5 years now but man i miss him 😪
Yep me too. A month ago now.😢 hold your dads tight, you never know when you won’t be able to anymore.
I've not spoke to the wife for 3 hours 😂
Win
😂😂
You must have saved a fortune lol.
😆😆😆🤣🤍💯

Tavarish giving you that engine what a act of kindness,
And to be honest if Tavarish didn't gave that engine to Mat this project wouldn't be economically viable. Only for sake of content.
@@delijasasevera2212 sounds like you've never had a true friend before, shame
Well that’s not the first time Tavarish has came thru with such a generous act
Matt gave him almost a brand new Porsche GT3 for nothing, so this is the least he could do.
While he's letting him use his shop and tools!!! Where can I get a friend like him
I actually cried a tear of happiness when you gave it to your dad.well done that was very sweet and thoughtful and generous of you.
Gee thanks for just totally spoiling the video trying to come in here and see if anyone gave him torque specs .. .. smh .. ..
You are the epitome of what every father dreams of. You embody strength, compassion, and resilience, making your dad endlessly proud. Every dad on this planet longs for a son as remarkable as you.
I cried twice watching this rebuild; first when the engine started second when he gave his dad the Ferrari. This really made me miss my dad. Wonderful content!
Took me 2hrs 32 mins to realize I've watched this build already. This is quality content Mat
Same 😂
I already watches it to but I still watched it again
Lmao, took me 7 mins, but feel similar
Lol
I only realised when they had to put it in first gear by hand lol
Nothing better than working with your Dad.
Watching Dads face, when you gave him the Ferrari was the best feeling.
I can only imagine what was going through his head.
Disbelief, Love for you Mat, Pride for his son and holding back his tears.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Only thing better than working with your dad, is working with your son. Well, it's a close tie. God is good, all the time, all the time, God is good.
WOW, Dude. Love that you gave that car to your dad...you are the mann. I am literally in tears. My dad died 38 years ago when I was 15. When I bought my first 4x4 pick up truck I cried because I would have loved to take my dad on a drive to the beech. We used to fish a lot together, but couldn't afford a beech vehicle at the time. It's great that you guys work together...from South AFRICA.
He knows he'll be getting it back soon as mans got one toe on the bucket ..
Round of applause for the editor(s) who put this magnificent vid up as well. Job well done everyone and what a beautiful ending.
its okay to hug your dad mate
Facts
Why you say that bro
Ty😂😂yup 😢
Not in public
@@JetFire9it’s not okey to show the man that raised you your live in public that’s just crazy
I’m 34, my dad left when I was 7. Never once did I need him or miss him… until I seen mat and his father’s relationship and that shit is so special I’m sad I missed out on that but I’m happy mat taught me more than my sperm donor ever did. Thanks mat and I hope you truly know how lucky you are to have an old man like you do!
On the other side had he been around doesn’t necessarily mean you would have had a similar experience.
@@Notfiveo0 I think you missed the whole point 😂
You ever thought that maybe you weren’t pleasant to be around?
Whether it’s your dad, your uncle or your best mate in life treat people how you want to be treated be kind and be present ❤
Ya know…. I have had just about the rockiest of dad son relationships. And I used to think that dads are not all they’re cracked up to be . Took me moving away (far away) for us to realize that it was no way for us to be . But now , we’re allll good I’d be lost without the few words I get from him a month. And for that I am sorry to hear there are people out there in your shoes. But I’m super happy to see you’ve made it against all odds
Your dad is such a rare dad you’re so lucky to have him in your life Matt. I look up to your relationship with him ❤
Your dad makes the channel so wholesome. He really does deserve it. There is nothing better than bonding with your dad. He needs to be in the video for my 👍 like.
Tavarish giving you that engine was some of the best PR work I think I've ever seen being pulled off! Well Done Tavvy, great PR work. And as regards to Mat Armstrong, well, good luck in all your endeavours, just keep going for it and you won't go far wrong!
Tavvy? WTH? 😂😂😂
I love these full build videos! One of the best creators on RUclips by far.... Great job.
I was in tears when it started on the second kick, and again when the transformation was proven to be in neutral. Your Da's jump for joy was priceless!
Congrats on doing a successful project with your Dad, and a Ferrari no less. That was a long time dream of mine to do with mine, before he passed on. But watching you two was a near-best thing, thank you both very much. Forza!
Absolutely LOVED this! Matt needs his own TV show!
Aww, he needed a hug when he was given the key. I can see in the videos the respect you have for your Dad. Good on you for showing it on the chanel. ❤
Hey Matt. I follow you araound for quite a while now. As a car enthusiast I think its more than logical to follow your channels. Usually I do not interact a lot with youtubers, being more of a "quiet" viewer, but let me say you I really appreciate your work and admire how you and your dad tackle all those challenges with all those different cars. YOu guys are doing an awesome Job. Also for the rest of the Team and Hannah, but I really wish you all the best for all projects.
Having never had a "real" dad that would ever had encouraged me to work on things like this makes me realize ( with my now 40) years that I might have missed a lot over the years. Not complaining, because I was used to be on my owen since my 16th year of life but still this shows how it should be. I´m sure you guys had your fights and differences as well but you stick together and work on those sometime impossible challenges to make it work.
Thank you so much for that content. Maybe we meet one day just to exchange some words maybe not. Still want to say, thank you so much. Much love and appreciation from Germany.
Pure engineering marvel of a masterpiece. I have never loved watching a RUclips video more than this. Simply breathtaking work from Matt and his dad.
Absolutely loved this one Matt. Giving it to your Dad at the end was just the icing on the cake ❤
I watched every minute of this video twice, and think it's amazing! What better ending than to give your father the car!
My father and I had a plan to rebuild an old muscle car, after he retired soon...he had race cars he sold when I was born...he was a diesel mechanic by trade, and grew up in a transmission shop his father owned. I grew up in a garage, helping, learning, and doing routine maintenance, and aftermarket parts once I was driving. My father had a severe stroke, just 6 weeks before retirement, and one a year to the day another stroke, that completely debilitated him. He has dementia now, and is in a rest home. Watching your father in the garage with you through all your videos, reminds me of all the great times I had growing up working on cars, and time we spent together. I just wonder sometimes and especially seeing content like this, what would have decided to build, and the sense of accomplishment at the end...✌️
Getting to do all this with your dad is amazing. Treasure these memories!
Beautiful moment..almost made me cry bruh, wish I had a dad like yours. He's genuinely a great person, we can all feel the energy he radiates wherever we are across the world. So yea, another excellent vid fam and love from Jamaica 🇯🇲 to you and the entire team 👊🏽
Loving the editing and footage of actually taking the engine apart,more in depth.This channel just gets better.Keep up the good work you are the best on RUclips
You don't know how lucky you are to have a dad like him, and a great relationship like yours! That's great you gave your dad the car, would be an awesome feeling no doubt. Good on you Mat, you're a legend mate! I love watching you succeed! Keep it rolling man.
Love the relationship you and your dad have, the camaraderie laughter and risks just add to a great watch…
Dear Matt thank you for sharing this with those of us who never had a chance like this with our Dad's we are grateful 🙏 .❤
The ending made my cry. Such a wonderful thing giving the car to your father.
Ive watched the last part a couple of times and tear up everytime. Miss my dad you are blessed to have such a awesome dad.
This is an epic video that sets the standard for this type of rebuild. Presenting the car to your dad was incredible...you two have a special bond. You are the best. The only thing missing at the end was dad and son hugging.
Damn, Mat!!!!
1hr23mins in and I have already learned soooo much from this video. Not least of which is the love and respect you have for your dad, your determination to see an almost impossible job to a successful conclusion, and the friends and fans you have to lend a hand, donate an engine, loan a torque press, share an internal engineering document etc etc.
Amazing work. Inspiring! And I don't even drive an ICE! You have a new subscriber.
More updates as I watch the rest...
2h09mins you are a true engineer. Despite not having the technical training or manual for the machine, you work from first principles to solve issues and you apply logic, research and testing to confirm a hypothesis and find a solution.
2h26mins NEVER EVER SAY YOU DON'T HAVE TALENT! You lack formal Ferrari training and documentation. Talent? You've got fxxx tons. Your dad and your mates too. Anyone else rebuilt a Ferrari engine, gearbox, and associated dependencies on their first Ferrari? Talent? Pluuuleeeeze.
2h41mins who knew dry ice could be used for degreasing and cleaning?
2h53mins THE END. Superb. Simply superb.
Good man, look after your dad, he’s a gem. Not many people get to have their dad help them rebuild cars and he always seems so happy.
Watching Hanna help push a Ferrari off the lift? The single best moment of the day.(wow! I wish I could be more complementary & charming.) Mat, you are doing quite well too!
This was longer than most movies but more engrossing.. .. keep up the great work Mat, you are hitting the nail on the head every time
IDK how the hell you get me watching these videos that last several hours, but I watch many of them without ff through much of it. It is amazing how you have learned so much without a great deal of training. Cheers to you and happy for you that you get to work with your dad and give so much to him.
Hope you guys make more of these full build episodes videos, really good to sit and watch for a couple of hours, really enjoyed watching the rebuild again 👍
Love these full edit builds even though I’ve seen it already. Great to refresh your memory
Actually brought a tear to my eye. Your dad's a legend.
Watched the full video in fact pretty much watch all your videos. Just want to say you truly are inspirational Mat what a hard worker you are. You just refuse to be beaten. You truly deserve all the success coming your way. 👍
I would binge watch every 2 hours long episode if you made a series. You are so lovely Mat.
Freddy is the reason why I use all my spare time on waching car rebuilding videos. been following you since the audi, and got hooked after the s5
Wonderful gesture to give the car to your dad Mat. I lost my dad 39 yrs ago and so miss him.
Watched 718 S build, and this was next level. Great that you get to share your passion with your dad, and what a gesture to give him the car. These memories are priceless
Love this channel. Hope you hugged your Dad and told him that he deserved it and you loved him when the camera stopped rolling. 100% Quality content. 💙
I can watch this over and over with the same feelings when you give your dad the keys.Awesome.
Best part was You handing the key over to your Dad....How nice of You & How Cool & Blessed you are to have his support & love......I have non of that with my Dad
I have no dad
Watched this in one sitting, what a journey to follow. your dad deserves this. legend.
Most impressed by you putting that gearbox back together and having it work with no documentation. great job!!!
Hadn't joined the channel to see the beginning of this build but caught the end when you gave it to your dad, which was awesome AF!
Didn't know Tavarish gave you the engine. The man! GG Freddy
I have already seen this build and I will watch it again. I really like the mat video!
Same :D
So happy his dad got the rari
This is by far my favorite build. I'm not the biggest fan of Ferrari mind you, but doing this for your old man, that just takes the cup.
This was hands down the best revive and drive video I’ve ever seen in my 45 years on this planet.
Thank you.
Its insane that We all watched this when they came out, and we all watch it again!
Its a combo of your accent and car content, it feels enough like top gear. Thank you Mat
The ending gets me every time. Knew it was coming but still...
Your Dad is the best, Your crew are the best, the editing is top notch, I feel like I known all you for years.
By far my fav content creator on YT. Long may it continue.
Such a good job of repairing that car and a truly beautiful gesture to give it to your dad. Well done Matt and crew.
Dude, I'm late because of you... actually because your dad, he´s the one to blame for missiing that part of the engine LOL.
Thank you so much for the entertaintment, I did pass half of the video thinking how I was not going into tears about your father-son connection, but at the end....I couldn't resist any longer.
It's amazing how a senior folk enlights himself when he is trully happy. for moments he was a child again and you must be so proud for giving him that.
Brilliant job though, a trully mechanic always finds out a way to overcome his problems.
I did work with my dad, we were mechanics in the rural/construction area (CASE, MASSEY FERGUSON, Etc) and I'm only mentioning this because all gerabox that we did repair act exact same way that one. The inertia keeps it going even when it's not in gear. When its mounted and on the floor it can't overcome the weigth and its not noticeable.
Also you did the best choice to set the right pignion-crown set because as my knowledge goes they really are a kit, they're build for working togheter.
I've build so many engines and gearboxes one for two broken ones I did forget, that's the way you know what you're doing. Congrats|
Watched all the original videos but still had to watch all of this. Extremely interesting and learning a lot .
Keep these videos coming Mat 🇿🇦
Saffa love it bruuuu !👌💪🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🤝
You hear the Amapiano at 26:00
I watched this series as you made it but watching it all together today was like watching you fix the Ferrari in a day. Great series, keep it up. I love seeing the older cars bought back to life.
Mat, my love of cars came from my dad, and it's obvious yours does, too. To see the shock on your dad's face when you gave him the Ferrari brought me so much happiness. You're a good dude, and a great son, and I'm so happy for both you and your dad. Keep it up, Mat.
It's 1am and I have an interview tomorrow. Fuck it.
GL!
Good luck with the interview
Says a lot about the channel 💪🏼😂Good luck pal. Let us know how it went?
Throw a spoon in the fridge and press it your eyes tmr morning, reduces the puffiness
All the best tomorrow. Enjoy the video too! 😂
I’m not going to lie. His Dad rebuilding that transmission without schematics is low key AMAZING. When you were like “idk if anybody knows how this works” Your dad was smiling in the background like “I do!” 😂😂😂
Good alright. They are entertaining tv though aren't they. 👍
To be fair they did buy a $5000 user manual
Brilliant video! And what an ending giving that to your Dad! He was chuffed!
Tell him he can drive through Earl Shilton anytime he wants! 😂
Love this build
So much goodness
Tavaris gifting the engine
Matt gifting the completed car to his dad
This is the way of the new world
Sharing is caring
Love how real everyone is and the genuine laughter had by all 🙏🚘❤
One of those RUclipsrs where you like the video before you even watch it
Freddy giving you the engine is the Pinnacle of American car culture. I have seen two competitors share parts on the weekends at the drag strip. I have seen them put actual sweat equity into their opponents vehicles as well to get them back going and be able to have a good clean competition. Over here if you're a gearhead you're family.
Brilliant,brilliant video guys.Don’t normally like long videos but was totally engrossed in every second of this one & to give your dad the car at the end was totally amazing,he seems such a genuine,funny,down to earth guy & that’s before even mentioning the car which looks & sounds fantastic.Not that long been watching your channel but it’s fast becoming my favourite,you all seem such genuine people & seem to really enjoy what you do
When Matt gave the key to his dad I must admit. I got a little choked up.. Nice job guys...
Never click so fast!!!
Me too 😂
Me to 1 minute and all,loving Mats posts atm,especially the rolls and siuuu!👌👌🔥💯🤝
Same
The same
I was about to watch a movie with the wife. But I think changed of plans 😅
I watched all these on release, and watched this entire video again. 3 hours of my life gone in what felt like 10 minutes. That's when you know you're watching quality stuff. Love these compilations Matt.
It’s great what you all do, and the best bit was in the last minute or two when you passed the key to your dad and said ‘…this is your Ferrari’ and he said ‘no it ain’t’ with the biggest happiest smile ever. Just brilliant.
Absolutely awesome and great skills in fixing the Ferrari F430. The best part was when you gifted it to your dad. What a wonderful gesture, you have earned my respect. Thank you and take care :)
Your Dad is always smiling, such a joy just to watch you two together. Great job!
You made me proper love the 430 after this video!!! Giving it to your dad was the icing on the cake!!! Congratulations on rebuilding this beauty!!!!
I learned so much on this build and loved your enthusiasm for all things automotive. Your team rocked it! ❤
This actually made me tear up at the end. May you continue to be blessed in everything u do
Loved the video. Your Dad seems to be a great fun guy. You both had me laughing on through the video. Very proud of you on the tackle and completion of the vehicle, great job!!!!!!!
I dented my boot lid 6 months ago and got a new one 2 weeks after, it’s been sat ever since but I’ve spent all day binging your videos and they’ve got me off my arse and mended the bloody thing! You’re inspiring even the laziest of us!
Loved this video even before the end! Thanks for explaining everything so well.
Wauw the reaction from your dad was so beautiful. So nice you work together and give it to your dad. Beautiful thanks for sharing.
Don't think I have ever watched a 3 hour video in my life with my full attention like I have with this video. Amazing story telling and editing thought the whole thing. The car being built from the scraps to sounding like a monster was awesome to watch and in the end gifting it to your dad was a really good ending. Big props guys.
This is one of the most entertaining videos I’ve had the pleasure of viewing. I wish I had that relationship with my dad. You guys made me feel as if I were there. The humor was so natural. I’m a fan now. Great job!
GREAT VID, WATCHED IT ALL THE WAY THROUGH, and super finish when you gave your dad the car, fantastic gesture, .. I could feel him welling up inside, well done.
Tony's such a humble and beautiful human being, when Mat said "this is yours" I had a little tear in my eye because of Tony's expression. Good on ya Mat, seeing you work with your old man is brill. I see where you get your humanity from, such a great family ☺️
@Mat Armstrong you're DA MAN! you're dad's reaction was priceless. God bless you and all you future endeavors brotha!!!!!!!!
i watched most of the rebuild throughout the series. but ive gotta say, i love the full build at once videos like this. i never did see it with the 20s, i think it looks so much better. perfect stance and ride height. great job man. and i found it very touching that you gave the car to your dad. that is awesome. keep up the great work man.
Don't sell yourself short young man. You have a bucket load of talent and an understanding of the overall system you are dealing with.your going to do even better then you already have! I'm a fan for sure!
I watched this whole thing twice, love when you and your dad work together. watching from America. love what you guys do, keep it up.
You are so lucky to have a father like that guy…you are a good son!!!
So glad that I found this channel. This is the second build I have seen but because it was for your dad as a surprise, it makes it extra special. Can't wait til the next one.
I was aware of Mat but this is the first build I've fully watched and I gotta say it's by far the best car rebuild content on RUclips
I love this build. And love your attitude while building it! Not sure how I found this video and your channel but am super glad I did. I'm about 2 hours in so far and am thoroughly enjoying this documentary. Very well done!
I knew someone who worked for this experience company. Said the owner never maintained the cars properly and everything was done on the cheap, so im not surprised how you found it. Inspiring work on getting it rebuilt... and those wheels. 🤩
Thank you for uploading this as one video. So much better than multiple parts..
Salute to Mat his Dad and the guys no matter how grim or backed in a corner it may look on his projects he always perseveres with a good attitude and a smile, proving that u dont need to be some highg tech technician to do what he does. Great Work!
Well done Matt, I've tried to watch you from you sorting out the 1m replica until now, you have come so far and it's great to see someone show the work can be done by yourself to modern cars, learning along the way. Loved the end gesture too.
