I was told there was 2 Lamborghini Murcielago's which had been left for over 7 years in a storage unit. There was a price for both of them and me being me i chose the cheap one with more of a bigger issue! The manual v12 murcielago is becoming a rare car so i knew if i could repair it the huge risk would pay off. But is it fixable??

Love the channel mate… I do restoring cars too but old ones… this looks very scary to me, you’re a brave man.
Bro, love your work and videos but if the V12 doesn't seem feasible, as in beyond economical repair, maybe you could do a engine swap if things go sour..
I did comment on the other video saying you’ll get the green one
Love it when I’m right
I’ll support you bro, but imma need that ride.😎😎
I thought you were leaning towards the yellow one.
Mat is literally showing the world how it's done. Can't imagine where this channel will be this time next year
Got be more environmentally friendly to rebuild a car with 2nd hand parts than it is to buy a new one every 3 years
‘I just bought myself this crash damaged rocket from NASA’
He’s buying and rebuilding a space shuttle next year
with multiple ferrari's lambo's and Rolls Royces haha
Probably working on the Lambo.
This rebuild will be MONUMENTAL!!!! My fingers are definitely crossed for you on this one. Just watch those subscriber numbers fly up after each Murcielago episode 🙌
Seeing you explaining what's wrong and missing, but still smiling with so much enthusiasm and excitement is worthy of an top gear award!
im sure the 2.5m view on each video on this car makes it easy. you do know its all setup. abandoned lambo lol yeahhhh
@@grainjah how does views make a difference on that regard.. makes no sense
@@thecasualfly it's called "money"
Just wanted to say congratulations on another fantastic video. I am delighted to see you have your Dad helping you. Hope you Dad appears on the channel in the future. I lost my Dad exactly a year ago. I have lots of memories of him and I working on cars. Keep doing what you're doing Mat. 😎.
Congratulations on how far you've come, I can't wait to see the project unfold!!
Mad respect. I bought a Lamborghini Jalpa years ago that took me 4 years to restore. It was mechanically just devastated, taken apart, and abandoned in a garage. The interior and everything else was in great shape. It was a hell of a journey to restore and it was worth all the time spent, it still puts a huge smile on my face. I had to print parts, fabricate parts, and have some stuff custom machined just to get it working. In my journey for parts, I was told by a well known shop that works on Lamborghinis, when I called them asking for parts, to "sell the car, they weren't going to waste time on my car, it would never be back on the road, go back to being a hotrod guy, you sound like one." I guess doing my own work was frowned upon. After the car was finished, and I had done a full EFI conversion, I was lucky enough to have the wallstreet journal reach out to do a section on "My Ride" as someone had told them about my restoration, so I guess that shop that told me I was wasting my time can kick rocks. Anyway, moral of the story, take it a piece at a time, take your time, do it right, YOU CAN DO IT, and I look forward to seeing you get it back on the road. Even if people tell you that you're crazy or can't do it, Lamborghini cars are a labor of love and passion.
I've had the pleasure of driving a murci a few times in my life and they are absolutely amazing to drive. The howl of the v12, the acceleration, the feel, the interior, they're just amazing cars. Lamborghinis are an event EVERY time you drive one. Congrats and looking forward to seeing the journey! Also you got a GATED Murci, nice choice man. It's going to be a hell of a proud feeling when you're done. You might give the guys at bullstuff a call, they've been extremely helpful when I needed weird parts and advice, they're very knowledgeable. They also have diagrams for virtually everything on all the different models throughout the years.
@Repent and believe in Jesus Christ Cool story bro.
how much did you buy it for
@@koihoshi agreed
Legend
@Repent and believe in Jesus Christ which rewritten version you read ?
working on cars with your old man is so good. me and my dad solve so many problems together. cant wait to see how this one turns out. your're a brave man Mat. could turn out to be legendary.
What’s a dad and where can I find one
what is brave about it?
@@livebaitlarry5783 risking £100k.
Let's just all agree when mat posts a new video it just makes our day go better.
Better.😂
Fish or sausage in batter? Either way it's a better day.
@@adammcneice362 thanks
@@h005mza you're welcome.👍
@@adammcneice362 You’re
Just found your channel. I spent 25 years customizing cars, machining custom parts, adapters, etc.., and wouldn’t have hesitated to buy a project like this. Love your attitude and the fact you talk in crayons for those who may not understand. I’m going to follow to see how you finish this project.
Mat i dont want your vids to end. Theyre ace and also proper emotional with the classical bits and the cars looking sorry for themselves. Keep it up. Love the descriptions and talking us through the bad and good bits before you work on it. The insights. The camera footage is ace too!!❤
I’ve got 100% faith in your ability to fix this car. You are a good problem solver and good at thinking outside the box which is what’s required when working on these types of cars. Go for it- YOU CAN DO IT 👍
I used to work at Everyman racing 7 years ago can remember it being parked up in the corner and left to gather dust, be good to see it back to how it used to be
Mat is the goat of rebuilds , from start to finish his channel gets better and better , should have his own show one day !
This is his own show
It is wonderful to see your Dad working alongside you. I was not so fortunate as mine died 66 years ago when I was 4. You really do enjoy trying to take on the impossible, and somehow you always manage to achieve it. The very best of luck with this one !!!
I remember this car, just found my pics of it when I drove a Gallardo at Everyman racing in 2011. I remember wanting to drive the murcielago instead but couldn’t change. Have a fab day that day, a surprise treat from my fiancé the week before our wedding, got to drive a 360 spider and Gallardo around the track, was a great experience!
Can tell Matt is gaining recognition world wide when his channel is being reviewed by Life Of Paulos, that usually review DDE , stradman and all the big car UA-cam channels, on the up and definitely hitting 1 million by the end of the year 👌🏻🙏🏻🇬🇧🇬🇧
Mat you know what I really love about your builds? That you go all out and you aren't afraid of putting new steering wheels on your cars and that you actually upgrade the interior when you work on them. I feel a lot of other builders ignore that part of the car.
I can’t wait to see the results!
I’m not really a car guy but this video kept me watching ! 😂
Never gets old seeing you go from 60k subs to over 500k. Cheers to many more Mat
I joined at about 200 when i wanted to salvage repair an audi tt :-) his channel was mint even back then
@@Insertnamehere3000 lol I joined around the S5 build, I was in the market for one and seeing everything he did to it is the reason why I have one sitting in my driveway up until a few months ago lol
Only recently found your channel and I'm so glad I did, once again the content is brilliant all wrapped up with such a diverse music background, I can't wait to watch and listen to the next, Well done Mat....
Good luck matt your the man for the job!! I’m excited to see how crazy this turns out 👍👍👍
we are so spoilt with ur content bud!
He's making money LOL
I second that! This content is next level insane. Can’t wait! 😃
Huh?? Get out more
@@oaga71625e You clearly have no idea how much hard work goes into making UA-cam videos. To make such high standard quality content this frequently, is unbelievable.
@@NathanMannin I'm not saying it's not, but it's his job.. so to act like he's "spoiling people" for releasing content is utterly bizarre. You probably won't get that though.
So glad you went with the green one 💪 definitely the one that was crying to be saved
Cannot wait for this. The depth of work required here is huge, but so many new skills to learn and jobs to tackle.
Patience, is the key here , and you have it in abundance,....so upwards and onwards, can't wait to see it runnin....
The progress of your hard work and channel is mental . Congratulations once more boss
Hooolyyy! I didn’t think you’d actually take the risk to buy this one! That truly has to be the craziest choice on this channel so far. 🤯
As always - I’m keeping my fingers crossed and can’t wait until this gated crazy italian v12 will come back alive.
Good luck on that!
Thanks so much!
@@MatArmstrongbmx tks to u for making our day better
1:15 what a music you chose! Love it. Not just the music, all this and every other of your vids! Cheers
I'm still trying to figure out if you're brave or just plain crazy Mat 🤣.
Really hoping this project works out for you - but I just know it will even if it gets tough in places.
As people have already said - You really are the man for the job.
he will make the money back tomorrow morning mate...
@@jayeezy7410 no cap
easy answer --- he is mad lol
This man just bought the neediest Murci of them all specifically that green one and because the engine is out he might also struggle to get the Lamborghini computer (which is the only specific computer that can talk to that car) so this one is probably gonna be the biggest challenge he's about to take part on fr!
@@gamersquadlifestyle I think you’ll find he’s done his homework on all the cars bought to date even if he tries to make the viewer think otherwise. He also no doubt has contacts far and wide who can source/repair the parts he needs or put him in touch with those who can. The normal financial risks that are undertaken with such a project create the drama and anticipation, drawing in the viewers. Without the contacts and UA-cam income it would be a different story, hence why it sat for 7 years becoming a donor vehicle for the rest of the fleet.
Cool! Dashboard-pcb components look like blown diodes, which sometimes are crowbar diodes for reverse polarity protection(shorting out by design to protect the rest). Smd soldering is pretty easy once u get the hang of it. I used to work at a repair shop for car radios where we repaired similar stuff. Perhaps check at one near u for help. Assuming it's CANbus you might even be able to rebuild the pcb. If u post some hi res photos of both sides, might be able to help
This is the help i need! please drop me an email info@matarmstrong.co.uk
@@MatArmstrongbmx I am not much help but I believe that if anybody was to do it it is gonna be you.
One word of advice on repairing the cluster (from experience, having fixed VW clusters from the the previous generation and lots of electronics from that era): If you find any chips labeled "ULN2003" in there, just change them out. The ULN2003 is just a set of transistors for controlling things such as light bulbs, relays and the stepper motors moving the gauges in a cluster, but, in my experience, is quite fragile, mainly due to the complete lack of internal protection circuits, and is ALWAYS is the first thing to go up in smoke when a battery is hooked up in reverse. Even if they work fine at first, they will certainly fail down the road, so just change them out or have someone replace them for you if you have trouble soldering that size of chip. They only cost like half a pound, so definitely worth it when the alternative is having your cluster go out on the highway.
This is very valuable info thanks for sharing
We all knew you would! Can’t wait to follow this project
I’m excited for you , looking forward to watching this one get sorted 🤩
drrrrrrr, just found your channel a couples of weeks ago and i am glued to it. you build my confidence every time i watch your videos big ups and thank you🤗 all the way in south africa.
Yet again, Mat brings his A-game. He must story-board each episode to make them so interesting and professional-looking. I love the fact that he's always thinking outside of the box - e.g. his wide choice of backing music to help set the scene. Everyone else just goes with mind-numbing drum & bass that has no emotion other than mental robotic enslavement. Not Mat, he cleverly mixes up classical with a wide array of sounds.. That takes confidence and creativity. Mat never blindly follows the crowd, he sets the pace for others to try and keep up.. in every aspect of his channel.. Well done dude.... Live long and prosper
Nah, most songs are copyrighted, it doesn't have to do shit with his "thinking outside the box" which he clearly doesn't have, otherwise he would have replied to your comment.
Thank you bro! it takes such a long time which alot of people dont see
@@lnfinyx Incorrect... & now you look silly
Jesus just marry the frigging guy already
@@drobichaud1000 Thanks David for taking the time to share your comment… It must have taken some real courage and self-esteem. I hope you feel better now… Go with Christ. Hallway M.
Cant wait for the build :) I really hope you go with the SV style kit once its done
Me too 😂
I couldn't help but notice when you said "500,000 of us..." mate there's 600,000! I'm a proud new sub, and this project looks awesome!
I just randomly found your page and I’m already a huge fan!!! You’re a down to earth guy whose just trying to live life to the fullest and have some toys to go with it!!! I say you go all in on that beast because it’s a once in a. Lifetime dream come true!!
Honestly amazing to see how far you’ve come i remember finding your channel just when you were under a 100k subscribers,here all the way with you, its awesome what you’re doing! Goodluck❤
I can remember the dailogue "seriously what is this place".....IT'S HEAVEN!!!!
I love your content and I know you will successfully fix this Lambo back to it's original state with a few mods.
Great video Mat, as always, looking forward to seeing this one progress. With regards to the dash, I used to repair dashes that have been reverse polaritied or spiked on a daily basis: The resistors are just part of it, if you can get a multimeter set to diode test and check all the diodes and capacitors around the connector, you're looking for a "000" short circuit reading. They're there to protect the dash, and if you find a short circuit, whip the component out, the dash should work until you can get a replacement soldered in. Fingers crossed you'll get it sorted 👍
Dnt forget he comes from money .
0:51 Man just watching the video, it sounds amazing as a Mechanical engineer it's a treat just to see one and to own one! Good luck Mat hope you turn this project in to a absolute masterpiece.
If you wanna be successful, you most take responsibility for your emotions, not place the blame on others. In addition to make you feel more guilty about your faults, pointing the finger at others will only serve to increase your sense of personal accountability. There's always a risk in every investment, yet people still invest and succeed. You most look outward if you wanna be successful in life.
Sure! Is a better way to counter this foreseen inflation, because all this wars everywhere are politics.
Living in one's "comfort zone" is a contributing cause to the plight of young people.
Fear is a total failure when you give up Ambitiousness; and Success is a game of dice, you throw your $coin while your investment decides your goal.
@@samiraabubakar2963 they said when you invest little money you earn big,
Can't even imagine how it is possible
I like this dude, deciding to break open the cluster to fix it instead of just buying a new used one hell ya
Bravery or madness??? Looking forward to finding out, good luck Mat looking forward to this one
I brokered a few Murcielagos in my 30 years of car career, I’m glad you have the battery disconnect switch in yours to avoid spontaneous combustion. Best of luck with the rebuild. Keen to watch the progress.
Can't wait to see how this build goes! You've got this!
The sheer excitement and determination you are with every video doing something you love for a living has us all back every time, amazing work from you all
You will make it Mat!
Can’t wait to see the evolution of this lambo 😍
Greetings from Italy 🇮🇹
Started watching the m5 rebuild. Now I'm going binge watch every video. This is great content 👌
Mat, love your content. I aspire to have the drive and energy you do to bring these beauties back to life!
Thank you Mat...I'm not a big commenter but this is simply spectacular and sensational. What an accomplishment! I remember you working on the Audi S5 as well as the Bentley Continental GT on your drive at home. There's no one better suited to sorting out this unpolished gem of a Lamborghini Murcielago. So excited for you and Hannah and Liam and Chris and I just can't wait to see the progress you'll undoubtedly share with us. Best of luck team!!!
Wait, he has done anything yet!
You got your hands full with this project my friend. Best of luck.
Hi Matt, I don't usually comment onlie but I just had to say that your content is so much fun to watch and it is a pleasure seeing a decent good human creating such great content. Well done!
Hi your honesty will sell the vehicle and people will believe in what you say
Matt is an absolute legend 👌
I only discovered this channel today I subscribe to lots of other car you tubers but only found you when I was looking for v12 Lamborghini rebuild. I love the Murci its my dream car too!
This is awesome Matt!! Seriously this content is on another level to the rest out there. Got some massive balls to be pulling this off. Looking forward to the next video and also finding out how the C63 is getting on.
Mat, very cool find! I wish you the best of luck with this project. I think if you paid less than 100,000.00 GBP for it, that you’ll make out pretty good (not counting your love of labor on it). I purchased a Murcielago about 1 year ago, my dream car and first exotic. I absolutely love the car! The timeless low profile and wide body design, the signature V12 only doors and yes, the sound of that rear engine V12 roar through an aftermarket exhaust. Although, it was in nothing near the condition that your car is currently in, I’m sure that in due time, you’ll be having the Murcielago experience. Also, you’ll get to build this Murcielago to YOUR liking.
Parts for these are expensive for sure, but don’t depend solely on the used market, a lot of it is way overpriced for the quality you are getting and in many cases more than NEW. The thing about new parts is that they can take a while before they actually show up at your door step. There are also the aftermarket products, which can be more affordable than new original parts and in better condition than used.
Great find! Looking forward to viewing your progress!
As soon as you’d said “I’ve bought one”, I broke out in the biggest smile. Great video!
Keep winning Mat! I bloody love this channel and all the rebuilds are so inspiring.
I am literally binge watching. You are supposed to be on Netflix man. You can definitely earn more from there and also get more audience. Keep it up. Cheers mate.
😂 You don’t understand UA-cam. Look up top UA-cam earners.
@@jamesbender1967 i didnt read your comment until now. But somehow i got a suggestion of that video yesterday and i did see it. You are right. Instead i should say that being on more platform will be like added incentives for him.
@@SwapnilMhaske1 Didn’t mean to be so brash. But now you see the new reality of media; you don’t need networks or streaming. UA-cam revolutionized the market and people are getting extremely wealthy when they figure out the formula.
Don’t know how I found this but clicked out of curiosity. I hope you complete this car, it’s just beautiful. Good luck and best wishes. 🇺🇸🇬🇧👍
Mat, your an inspiration. Your videos are entertaining, exciting and most of all i have learnt a lot from just watching you rebuild these cars. Your a legend!
You are bonkers Matt, but in a great way! love watching your videos, I look forward to seeing how this one goes!
Just found your channel and freaking love it! Over here in the U.S.. God bless brother!
I will forever be indebted to you you’ve changed my whole life I’ll continue to preach about your name for the world to hear you’ve saved me from a huge financial debt with just little investment thanks so much Mrs. Williams
I’m surprised you know her too. I’ve been making a lot of profits investing with her for a few months now.
Mrs Williams changed my life because of the huge profits I got from investing with her.
You invest with Mrs Williams too? wow that woman has been a blessing to me and my family.

"to keep my head leveled" thats rare nowadays! glad you made emphasis on that
These are kinda like a one of a kind painting by a great artist it’s not just a car it’s the beauty of the car
Can't believe how you keep smiling, once you see the price of parts, etc
Best of luck
I look forward to seeing how you get on in the new year 👍

Good luck with your Lamborghini it’s going to be a long journey but worth it all the best
You're the one who bought but I'm the one who excited 😎..this is what i needed to be inspired although money is the issue 😆..i have an old BMW e34,old engine system but manage to restored it by myself..took a whole year to rebuild but I'm satisfied..sadly sold at the End,wish I could have that moment like yours again to rebuild something from scrap
Ga tau kenapa ya, koq rasanya nyenengin bisa perbaikin barang rusak.. apalagi mobil impian gini.. nice spirit bro, lanjutkan!🔥 salam dari Labuan Bajo
your can do attitude will go along way i so think u can make this work and makes for great content . U got this Matt.
and we are all along for the ride.
That looks exciting. I hope its only those transistors that need replacing, can’t wait to see the next video
Once I got to the end of the video where you said there 500k of us who can chip in and help, I restarted the video and let all the adds play through bruz...
If everyone let's ad rev play we can help this man's dream.
LETS GOOOOO 🚘
I'm a new subscriber from Los Angeles, I'm hooked, thank you.
There is something very sad about a Lambo not driving. Good on you bud, give it life!!
Without a doubt the most expensive Lamborghini you will ever own is a cheap one. Even with all of your labor for free AND scouring parts on the internet it is stratospherically expensive to properly put these cars together from boxes. Of course your situation is a different because as a content creator the difficult path actually pays with viewership revenue so I wish you all the best in your re-build.
My channel has a bunch of Murcielago DIY videos and hopefully they can be of assistance. Lastly regarding the the engine do seek out an experienced tech to help you with the re-build. Making a mistake on these engines is insanely expensive so you want to make sure to ask your questions before just guessing on the answer. Best of luck!
0:51 that roar reminds me of my golden school days
Don't care about cars, repairs, racing, mechanics, but God damn this channel makes this stuff interesting and entertaining. Well done.
You have a great channel, showing the right content & info, happy days 👍
🚙💨✨
Love it bro can't wait to see if you can finish it!
Extremely well made video, your editing is on point and your narrative bits are perfectly done. Glad I found the channel.
I was going to say, check the board on the cluster for burned bits. The surface mount components can be replaced, locations marked R10 or C14 for example R is resistor and C is capacitor, you also have Diodes which often pop because of a miss connection, likely a few bucks and an electronics guy and she's back in business 😉
I need to self build a small house, your project makes it seem ok :) amazing project, best of luck
How many times you gonna say "Murcielago in a youtube video, this guy YES YES YES YES.
