I bought a cheap crash damaged Mclaren 720s from Amsterdam & brought it back to the UK. Then Mclaren told me the car was unsafe to repair. I now have no option but to rebuild it myself. But in this episode i call in for some help & Richard Hammand from @Drivetribe turns up...

Yep
ayo 4th on youtubes comment?
Never thought of it
Thank you for coming to our event and allowing us to be a small part of your build Mat. Roll on Christmas!
Get the smallest cog to do a full respray when it's on the road.
R.H. is the 🐐!!!
DRIVETRIBE/RICHARD HAMMOND! WASSUP BIG- nvm
Just think at that point of the build you actually put more bolts onto the car than matt
I haven't gelled with you yet. But I'll keep trying 👍
That's a good amount of wires. An unexpected full restoration, but at least now you'll know it's done right.
Ah. Funny seeing you here as I just watched your 17.1 Rc video. 😂👋
Cheers Geoff
Free for Palestine 🇵🇸
Make sure to torque all your bolts
He’s an absolute genius……..how he rebuilds these cars without manufactures help blows my mind…….I can’t tell you how much I love watching Matt and his dad………bravo 👏👏👏
I was just thinking that... Once I took apart one of my cameras and I nearly had an anxiety attack trying to figure out where all the screws and wires originally went... So I have no idea how he actually does it to this scale...
@@BrandonFrowenwell the screws are bigger most of the time 😂 But he probably sorts them in subsections and he has a camera filming. I would be more afraid of the wiring looms
This is not a rebuild anymore… it’s a FULL ON BUILD!!! Incredible!
Who else loves a Mat Armstrong upload 😁😁
Who doesn’t
Really look forward to them
best car rebuilds on youtube no ones close
🙋🏻♂️
Wee
the amount of work this takes is crazy and dude does it all day every day. mad respect.
Damn... Having Hammond in a video is definitely a statement to the quality and reach of your work! Good job!
Richard is so awesome. Such a good presenter even in a situation like that. He made it less awkward 😂 so talented
Hammond tells the blind kid with a cane he’ll be old enough to drive the McLaren when it’s done lol
the punchline set up backfired in his mind in real time@@danielanderson9118
@@danielanderson9118 Then Matt gets to rebuild it again
@@danielanderson9118😂😭
Hammond is the man.
Mat not only have you got an incredible lets do it mentality but your actual story telling skills whilst keeping up with the workload is impeccable, your uploads have an entirely unique dynamic about them that nobody else quite matches, that alone keeps me watching.
Well there are few skilled people inspired and try to inspire others to save & re-build scrapped cool cars but among them few are on top : RichRebuilds, Tavarish, Samcrac, Rattarossa, V-tuned and Matt.. +a very special mention from Germany : Sreten who has a channel specialized to resurrect BMW on his channel : "M539 restoration" they are always on top of the views each time at least in my case so, that is why i really enjoy every episode clip each of them post (sometimes they also meet & appear in same clip doing collaboration which is also fantastic because they spoil us viewers with they ingenuity and impressive amount of dedication they put into they 'r projects ending with special projects & crazy results that is why we love them ! EDIT : Shout out to the old top gear crew Hammond, Clarkson, May and dearest old pilot : Tiff Needell and the modern one Chris Harris !
My grandma agreed
I have never liked or commented on any video before on RUclips, but honestly you deserve it. Well done Mat. You are such an inspiring and motivated to all of us here. Wish you all the best 🙏
This is pure gold. You guys just being guys, fully at ease with getting the impossible done, and then this top notch storytelling. Really the best thing to watch ever!
Man i just can't get enough of Matt, i wish you could upload daily
same tbh i would have not trusted myself to dismantle the whole car i would have probably get some crazy carbon specialist to fix it and then sell it to a 3rd world country or just sell it some where in east Europe xD
yeah, when i first started watching i was like "eh, its another car channel to watch" but he's got a good attitude and charisma to him and the ones he works with. his dad always gives me a good chuckle
My exact thought
💯🙌🏻
It just keeps getting better !!!!!
Such a heartwarming part of the show. Richard Hammond is a legend.
I wish I was an old grumpy, political un correct, smoking and drinking car show host so I can call him a friend. I am all of those except, I`m not a car show host and my name is not Jeremy and I live far away. Well, you can`t have every thing. Point is, he is a great guy and would love to call him my friend.
Hammond is so false, it's all an act.
Unbelievable, I cannot believe that you, your father and Matt the cameraman were able to perform this!
All credit to to you all.
This is what inspiration is, Richard is an amazing person and gentle, what an amazing journey to see the completion of this car
Richard Hammond is one of my automotive godfathers. He's experienced more in the car world than I can hope to in my wildest dreams and yet he remains humble, humorous, and encouraging. With his blessing the sky is the limit for this restoration. Keep your word Mat! I can't wait to see his reaction come Christmas.
Well said Sir.
You would be a great person to write a summary of this video. Keep commenting ❤
He is also one of the most experienced people in crashing 😎😎
@@kreiseltower Agree 👍🏻 He should put on his CV "Skilled car crasher".
I think Hammond comes across as condescending in most videos these days. A superiority complex on display drawn from faded, history. IMHO of course.
Gotta say Matt it's incredible how you manage to tell such a great story while accomplishing so much technical work and procuring parts, it's genuinely incredible.
yeh i have to remind myself this isnt top gear, because matt and his dad actually do the work themselves. very impressive, albeit stressful
Mat you should get the old McLaren chassis and make it a racing simulator it would be sick
That was fun.
Nice to see Mr Hammond being cheerful and cheeky as ever.
Good luck with this build.
💪💪💪👍👍👍😎😎😎
I miss watching top gear and the grand tour so much. Watching Hammond here with Matt was incredible, I love the energy they both have. Great video, it was neat, and I hope you get to finish this amazing project by Christmas. I will be there no matter what!!!
Exactly this! I had goose bumps watching the part with Hammond. So many good memories growing up with top gear!
Why don’t u watch them then? 😂
top gear stopped in like 2015 and grand tour release episodes every 6-12 months@@TYLOTYLOTYLO
@@TYLOTYLOTYLO I did! Sadly I watched all of the episodes. I'm currently waiting for The Grand Tour to release a new special, but I kinda wish they went back the old format. I sometimes rewatch all episodes from time to time
I think Matt is one of the most genuine people on RUclips, and clearly attracts others like him in his life as the caliber of people surrounding him like Hannah, Tony, Kevin and Matts many friends reflect this. Truly an inspiration and its a pleasure to watch his success grow.
Mat, you are fearless. Seeing the reverse-engineering and rebuilding you and your dad do is incredible to watch. It's honestly very inspiring.
Insane project. 😁 All those screws, wiring and parts. Puzzle for car maniacs. Well done, Mat. 🙏👍🏻
It's good seeing Hammond, I think the world doesn't realise how many of us have a deep rooted love for automobiles due to him and his mates, it gives birth to the youtube era we are in now. So thankyou.
I was at the show on Sunday Mat and I’ve gotta say your so genuine and down the earth and had the time to talk to me it meant a lot and your videos have helped me out so much in so many way including mentally and I’m sure they’ve helped others in more ways then you can imagine and so Mat ok behalf of the subscribers. Thank You.
How great to see the previous generation of petrol heads and the current generation, together. Matt, your blend of humility, humour and sense of adventure is inspirational ... and as for your dad, he is a god! All power to you all. x
Matt would actually be really cool as a new top gear presenter, very genuine, passionate about cars and knows actually what he's talking about.
This is the absolute highlight of my week. Thanks for being such an integral part of my Tuesday evenings ❤️
Waited for a whole week for this
Well worth it
this is sad, how in hell a RUclips video is the highlight of your day? how sad your life has to be
@@erik-001-you clearly don’t follow Matt !
@@erik-001- i thought it was a bot comment
@@erik-001- yeh, I’m stuck at home on sick pay with a collarbone that’s in 4 pieces and a load of titanium holding it together. On top of that, I have 2 cracked ribs, a swollen knee and 19 very itchy staples. So I apologise to you that the highlight of my week at home alone is a video that brings me 23 minutes of distraction and happiness 🤙🏻 enjoy your day.
Amazing how far Mat has come, truly inspiring. There’s no one on RUclips comes close, no one. ✌️💜
He has done quite tremendously well and we are all behind him 1000% but don’t push it!!!
He's a BMX rider, lol
well there is, tavarish, but they both great
🆒😎👍!
He's the best builder........ Conversely Whistlindiesel is the best dismantler........
Watching you and your dad makes me extremely happy, especially seeing as how he doesn’t seem to mind helping you work and doing more work on top of it. Makes me miss my old man he passed away this year sadly but I’m glad I get to watch these videos! Great work keep it up! ❤
That ball man is legend , so much joy he brings, amazing
It would be really interesting to know how you take note of all the parts, bolts, ordering of dismantle, connections ecc.. maybe on the second channel, I would love to know how you organize your incredible work 🙂
Yes - especially with multiple builds going on at the same time!
bags, labels and zipties
@@rockhop8595and photos 👍🏻
Bags and plenty of pictures and videos
Pictures, LOTS of pictures.
From watching Matt fitting coilovers on a Audi TT to completely rebuilding a mclaren from basically scratch Is actually insane, class🙌🏼
Hi. I watched and followed you from day one and all that helped me get through a very hard time what I'm going through at the moment. I lost my youngest son, and all that put me down very badly, but watching your videos helped me a lot and put a smile back on my face, and I saw that there is still light on other side and give me that willing to pick myself up again and watching your videos it's proofs that out there still is good people who have a heart and cares about others. You and your dad are legends to me . I would really love to see you in person if that's impossible and say thank you because you and your videos helped me get through my life day by day after loosing my baby son.
I been from day one fast car fanatic and I love what you are doing
Kindly regards Matthew Richardson
Its now my favourite car channel, you work with your dad and your character is easily likeable to see you do these transformations, this makes your show unique. So much humour and laughter despite hardships.
Effin awesome!! Richard Hammond seems so down to earth and based. Must have been a blast 😊 Really looking forward to this build🎉
You need some serious balls to do something like this. Hats off to you Matt, keep uploading and we'll enjoy every second of it. Best wishes for the future 🙏
I absolutely think that Mat can fix this car by Christmas you got this! Richard better be watching his back!!
This is like the complete opposite of Orange County Choppers. Instead of the father butting heads with the son, its father and son cracking jokes, laughing, being in complete harmony with each other. What a total delight to watch!
Every video reaches loftier heights in quality. Great upload, as always. Love the fact your on mate terms with the hamster, who knows maybe you can get Jezza to have a drive in it when it’s finished! That would be one hell of a Christmas special!
He may act like a goofball when the cameras are rolling, but I'd be surprised if in real life Hammond wasn't an all round top bloke who'd go out of his way to do anything he could to help out anyone that's attempting such a massive project.
As for Clarkson? I'd charge the pillock a tenner just to look at the car, then right in front of him invite Captain Slow to test drive it.
Who else waits every Monday at 6pm to see his new videos. He is amazing. Needs a TV show like top gear
It is Tuesday though ?
You're a day behind brother
It used to be Sunday 6pm
Meant Tuesday haha 😝
Where i live its 10pm
seriously: Motor adventures like that rebuild deserve to be translated (I mean the Audio) in other language so all motor enthusiasts in the world can fully enjoy all of this.... AWESOME!!!!!!!!
Something about Mats dad laughs brings me happiness
I love how the builds are more crazy and in depth everytime, this time its just a full car rebuild and you make it look effortless(ish)
Bro your my literal motivation like wow. I feel like people don't understand how big of a job this is its just amazing what you do man. And you just genuinely seem like such a nice guy. Just wow. mate good luck with this. You don't understand how happy watching your videos makes me man.
dude didn't rebuild a McLaren - he BUILT a McLaren!
This channel in my opinion is the best on You Tube how you keep smiling I’ll never know, I can’t wait to see the next part, this is bloody fantastic well done Matt, Dad, Hanna and the team.
Almost 2k views in 2 mins, just shows how we all love you Mat
4K in 4mins 🎉
this blows my mind, love how you work so well with your Dad
@skytv get this man his own show
I can’t even explain the excitement I get for a Mat Armstrong upload, keep up the amazing work mate
His name is MAT. GET IT RIGHT.
Well…as a Belgian viewer and passionate about mechanic…i must say that I do wait every minutes for the next video that will be uploaded! I have rebuild a BMW E46 318i and it was sometimes a nightmare! I really wish to be able to met you somewhere and have a chat or even better…. Work a little bit with you on a car 🤘🤘 You are the only guy that I follow on RUclips! You deserve your job and community! You work hard to get what you deserve! Cheers mate ! Hope to see you somewhere under a bonnet 🍾🍾
Love these videos. Matt makes great content. What I would love to see though is a section on a video of how he keeps track of all of the parts, nuts, bolts he takes off the cars. They are basically stripped out.
Matt's videos are always so exciting and interesting. What would be neet is if someone from one of these car companies watched this and invited Matt to work on the assembly line for a day or two.
true
I love the chemistry that Hammond and Mat have! Got to have Richard drive that car when it’s finished.
No, don't let him drive it - it'll go up in flames! :D 🔥🔥
Your videos display so much natural at-home relatability; I’m sure you know you are living the dream of a car guy (AFTER ALL YOUR HARD WORK; cause yes it does take it!!!) but your videos are so natural and comforting in the sense of it not taking special equipment, and the ability to share time with people like your wife, father, KEVIN🐶, and more of your friends, AT the comfort of what you like to do for a living. Love your channel man!❤️
Big respect to youre dad i know youre doing big things here mat but ive seen hes stood by you through youre whole journey rebuilding cars and i love to see that support ❤️
Even if top gear is gone. Seeing you and one of my heroes together makes me realise that top gear is not done but with a new cast and name.
That is you matt you filled that void. Thank you for your content and keeping making it!❤
Mat, it’s so much fun getting to watch you through each project. It’s the fact that you keep it 100% real, you’re doing it with friends/family, and your absolutely incredible story telling abilities (not to mention your video editing) that makes these so incredible! I pray that your joy, passion, and love for this never dies and that you continue to have an unmeasurable amount of success and happiness in life. Don’t ever change being you! It’s an inspiration my friend! Love from Alabama, USA.
You and your dad are so genuine, Mat. Keep up the good work!
to get all the correct bolts and the correct wires to the correct place when assembling?!! I couldn't 😱 you are doing an awesome job 👏
One of the most amazing things is that we get the chance of having a glimpse at the most inner and hidden parts of these super cars. Great content ! Keep up the good work
Yes. And they are not so super in many ways.
I feel like half the parts and not so premium. They just know how to charge premium.
@@myp0h totally agree !
Seeing Hammond made my day already. Thousands of miles across the Atlantic.... shout out to all of you guys from the US 🎉
It probably doesn't mean a lot coming from someone you don't know Matt, but I've got huge respect for what you have achieved. Showing us all what's possible if you just crack on with things. Well done mate! Hope to see you in Australia one day for a visit!
Best show to date! Hands down! A milestone you’ve reached Mr. Matt Armstrong! Congratulations! Keep ‘em coming bro! You’ve caught 🔥!
Damn Matt you’re doing AMAZING 8 minutes uploaded and you’re already cresting over 20 THOUSAND views! You’re a legend Matt. Keep it up brother.
That last bit was so beautiful to see. Totally a dream come true!
The time you get to spend with your dad on these project you will both cherish forever
I believe you’ll have the McLaren on the road by Christmas easily! The best part is how you get stuck into a project and don’t stop till you complete it! And your getting the attention from big names as you deserve it! Well done Matt and team 🙌🏽👌🏽
Ahhh but which Christmas 🤔😉🤣
The work involved is staggering. So so impressive!!!
I honestly can't believe how good these videos are. I look forward to them every week, just like I used to look forward to Sunday night Top Gear back in the old days with Clarkson etc. Best series on RUclips right now. Awesome.
So happy for you Mat! You all deserve this soooooooo much! So happy to see you're almost at 2 MILLION SUBSCRIBERS! 🎉
This man constantly defies the term impossible 🔥 you're such an inspiration to us all Mat ❤
All love in South Africa 🇿🇦 ❤️
The sheer magnitude of this project is overwhelming; every credit to you and the team. Incredibly impressive, followed ever since the TT days; wow how far you’ve come😎
This is the stuff we need. Something to learn, really nice people and entertainment.
After every video I have a smile on my face.
Hammond is a good bonus.
Keep up the good work and thank you for the content ❤
Hammond's skepticism was fantastic! I've watched Mat's channel for long enough to know that he can pull it off as long as he doesn't end up stuck waiting for some random part.
Christmas can’t come soon enough. I’m excited to see this build complete. If anyone can do it, you can Mat 🙌🏻
That is amazing how you guys are able to do this extremely complicated rebuild, I like how your dog found a problem not found on the Web site. You have a great team Dad, dog and you! Awsome!
Another amazing vid Matt, so looking forward to the end of this build, and getting Richard on your side can never be bad. All I can say is respect to you, your dad and Hannah for putting up with these builds 👍
Waiting for your videos is like waiting for something you're eddicted in, I love your work from South Africa 🇿🇦
We must have a Chanel like this in mzansi
@busiswayoli true, we need it... it would grow so quickly
can’t believe how much you’ve taken off mate so happy for you
I've been absolutely amazed by everything i've seen! I really look forward to watching every build. Having your crew and family around you, is great to see and is really something special. I love the rawness, the honesty we see in you as a person and the way you make content. It seems a bit strange for me to say, but definitely proud of you as a human being! Please keep doing what you're doing. You're inspiring people everyday! ✌🏾❤️
Dude! I'm so jealous of your journey, its a true pleasure to watch someone literally living their best life. Thank you for the content man!!
It wasn't just cool, it blows everyone out. Such an incredible moment. Mat, the crowd and subscribers cheering for you. Damn, will love to see it in person, once it’s completed. Such an amazing built you got there mate. Definitely buying a small 720s hot wheel and getting it signed by you someday.
Mat - You know why your channel has so many supporters 🤔 Not because you are kind, generous, funny and so much more which goes without saying - It's because most of us are as crazy as you and the rest of your crew. Another brilliant video - Take care and best wishes to all - Clay
I've never seen something like this on RUclips, so refreshing and amazing!
Mat, You are blessed to have a father that will take on anything, truely a fatherfigure
Matts attitude and smile is genuinely inspiring, love watching just to see his positive attitude and figuring how to revive warriors of the road
I’m absolutely speechless having watched that. It’s like the most complicated jigsaw in the world! Well done to you Matt, your Dad and the rest of the team. The best Christmas present ever ❤
I had a dad like yours who was a genius (but mine was a lot less smiley). What a great team you make - savour the relationship. See you on the telly soon.
Hammond is a bona fide legend. I hope he comes to see the car when its finished.
This whole project is insanity, it's impossible, but we all know Mat can pull it off.
Impossible?
Mad respect for doing such a massive job!
Mats great for many reasons. One main one is by showing us how well or how bad these supercars are built or are not.
Literally the only channel where i watch a 20+ min. video without skipping it!
You got this Mat! Cant wait to see it finished! Cars are not impossible to fix with time and effort! :) Anxious for the next video!!! Hope you inspire other young people to work on their cars bro!
Your efforts are getting bigger and bigger with every passing build and so will your success. Love from India ❤
3:47 "Let's crack on!" Man, I love your dads energy Mat! This channel is just a joy to watch!
Absolutely brilliant, only started watching a month or two ago and you've gained a fan for life. Keep smashing it mate, you're doing superb.
Cracking video again Matt you are really pushing the boundaries of what is achievable if you work hard not just you the whole team 👍 and behind every great man is a even greater woman so nice to see Hannah supporting you every step of the way 🙏
