- I just want to say that these guys are my favourite UA-camrs and they have inspired me to start my UA-cam journey. I look up to them, and I believe that what they do is great.
In this journey, I will take you the roller coaster that these guys might feel when rebuilding a crash damaged car. All I can say is, the journey is not easy.

Mat Armstrong | Tavarish | Chris Slix | Auto Alex | Car Rebuild | BMW Car Rebuild | Crashed Damage Rebuild
Whilst it is true that companies are more likely to help out “bigger youtubers” for the exposure we all had to start somewhere. It’s not like I started with tons of money and connections. I started on the driveway I didn’t even have any shelter. So it is possible you just have to really want it, think outside the box, put hours in no one else will, and be willing to sacrifice a lot. 🙏 good luck to you bro ❤
Thank you for your comment it helps that you clarified that for everyone- just like what I said in the video, it isn’t as easy as it looks. Many late nights, headache and swearing is involved.
Your success is truly motivating and I’ve been watching you since you had 11k subs; in fact you were the one who inspired me to be a UA-camr. Keep pushing mate and I hope you’re all well after the crash! God speed 💪🏽 ❤️
@@themarvelousvlog thanks bro 🙌 yeah you know how it is 😅 doing well though man 👍🏼
What a gracious response Mat - true class.
@@MatArmstrongbmxI remember helping you with your 1st car in the audi group with the S5 v8 😂😂😂😂
@@themarvelousvlog yep, i've been watching Mat a couple of years or so, great entertainment and a Lesta lad. luvin your chanel, when ya take on a project you need lots of room and patience. got a few jags i like to work on....there's always a way.
Wow I can’t believe he didn’t hear you coming in the shock on his face must have been something good on his screen 😂😂😂 I never thought that car was so nice never looked at it before but thanks Christian for telling us it’s discounted this week will look now. Well congratulations on a great win 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Sorry?
Well done! You are truly marvelous Mate👍👍
Thank you kindly!
I'm struggling to see a comparison to other utubers as they show the teams and setup they have also they raffle there finished cars make alot more then the cars value
I think one thing to always show people is the struggle. Rebuilding cars isnt easy - it takes professional shops a lot of time so if an amateur in a garage by himself is trying it, give yourself a ton of time. I agree with Mat, we all start with nothing, but the important thing is learning as much as you can and sharing that with people. Good luck dude!
Thank you! You and Mat are inspirational to many. It definitely takes more than dedication to do the work that you guys put in the rebuilds. Saying that, I’ll take it away with me and keep hustling!
Looking forward to Mat’s lambo rebuild and looking forward to your P1 build- that one will be insane!
Nice to have your reminder unfortunately a lot of shops aren't willing to share the skill with people who wanna learn it 💯💯💯
Thanks for ure honesty Freddy,top g!👌👍🤝
I watch salvage rebuilds UK Rob & Chris do a professional job, rebuilding crash damaged cars.
Best car salvage channel.
Matt and tavarish are the best
I dont like tavarich he only talks and no work but mat now ding same .. bit lazy
@@Yutub-use don't u thing if Tavarish and Matt are acting the same u will fall to sleep when u watch the channel difference makes the channel more interesting. (Keep its up guys let's hope will see more of Matt in U.S.A .next time I want to see u both of u fixing warplanes love from south Africa ...
They are great
@@Yutub-use plus he snaked his friends girl, who is now his ex wife 😂
Samcrac is one that actually shows the process and how shit it can be, worth watching his content.
lol, that's because he doesn't have the talent of the other UA-camrs. He buys a non running car and is then disappointed when it doesn't run. He'll delete the error codes, service it, pump the tyres up and then abandon it in the field when that doesn't make the car work. However, he is entertaining which is why people watch car UA-camrs.
They have a big team behind them and everything they need, connections too. Things happen faster. They're obviously not going to show all the hours they spend getting things removed/added etc. They'll just show progress. This is just the same for every single field. Same thing happens in programming, takes days to create something proper. Still, it's amazing to work on your own car, although it takes ages when you're alone and don't have access to tools (and not a mechanic), but the end result is amazing!
Completely agree
The type of people watching this guy's content aren't stupid, we all know how long this takes, I thought he knew his audience 🤔
22:29 doggo seems to appreciate your hard work too, he didn't bolt straight out of the door when the engine started and hung around to listen to it 😁🐕
He grew up around cars. 3 months old he was out on jobs with me; till this day 😁
Mat Armstrong don't hide nothing, his dad s a clever engineer he just cracks on and re makes things their my favourite car channel for sure .
I think people just need to be realistic in what they can achieve if they buy a car that needs work. 99.5% of the viewers don't have free access to a garage full of the needed tools.
1000000% mate!
This.. I realised that any saving I may have made by restoring my current project car was annihilated by the time I added the costs of tools alone.
Keep at it, before you know it youtube will be paying for your car projects just like all the other car tubers.
To be honest, I don’t want to be a car tuber. I don’t hate them at all, in fact I look up to their work ethic but I don’t want to be like them, rather be like Donut Media that educates people
Mat and Tavarish make it entertaining, this is the key... I want to be entertained... and their positive attitudes and sunny personalities make watching a joy. Stop with the negativity.
Another youtuber goes down the route calling out big UA-camrs for click bait and views time to unsubscribe
Interesting 🤔
But they never said that they did everything by themselves. They sometimes show or tell us the car makers helping them out. Tavarish and Armstrong are two of my YT builders they're real people they don't fake anything
Wtf are you watching? Tavarish, and Matt Armstrong, in no way make any of their rebuilds seam easy. After watching this video, I'm thinking, if you knew what you were doing, maybe, what they're doing, wouldn't seem so terrible for you.
Ive seen multiple interviews with Mat where he said the builds dont make a profit (when you allow for all the hours worked), he only carried on doing it because of the UA-cam money. So yeah, rebuilding cars isnt all its cracked up to be and even trying to break in to youtube is becoming oversaturated.
Great channel. You made great comments about rebuilds not being as easy as they seem and that costs can quickly spiral so that the vehicle rebuild ends up costing you money and not making you money. With that in mind why are you "modding" the car ? This will devalue it even more by severly restricting the people that will want to purchase it when you decide to get rid of it. I know "trick" bits and mods are fun but you should make you subscribers aware of this too.
IMO should get that car repaired before mods. Have you had engine running at all? As I understand it there’s no way of knowing what’s mods that engine can take.
You could try a Collab with Dee @Savagenation.
Dee has a lot of experience working rebuilding cars, especially BMWs.
Dude you work full time u ain’t doing it like the UA-camrs you mentioned who do it full time so off course it taking you longer and anyone who worked on there car knows it ain’t glamorous!
maybe just maybe inspect the car before buying it? lol like sure there is things you cannt see when you buy that might come out later down the road but physical things that can be seen before getting an used car specially someone that does this professionally
First, you don’t have to be put on your target some famous UA-camr first of all look at your way and show us what you can do maybe interesting for us and we can follow you
Sounds like you got stung by copart due to inexperience picking up categorised cars and moaning cmon buy broken expect problems
Good Bank roll is the key however for small joes is totally different game ✌✌
I rate salvage nation, saving salvage, and SRUK. Can’t stand the “giveaways” because I don’t agree with gambling but that’s my problem not theirs. Those 3 are at least very transparent and don’t glamorise it like others do. It’s not feasible for the average person to do anything other than panel damaged cat N, and even then you’ll have to get help at times. I do it for a living have done since before it was popular on social media but even now I still learn new things every day from channels like yours. I like that you’re an educational channel and I rate your work ethic mate, only a matter of time till this channel blows to a point you’ll be earning a nice salary from it, which will be much deserved after all the work you put into it, whilst running a business and whatever else you have going on!
Thank you mate! Let’s keep pushing! 💪🏽
U won't to start at the top bashing Utubers 😅😂 that's cheating so know u got the attention to help u secretly behind the Camera 📷
All they guys are not working a normal job at the same time. They have every day to work on these cars!
I see the same in your video as the ones you mentioned, they all started from scratch n showed their difficulties.
The key is to do it like mat does bit dramatic music or cinematic bits.. Ppl like before and after ...
Is want to try to do a rebuild but one day on a m4 when they get cheaper and aslong as the frames good I'd be good
This is what we call CLICK BAIT....
Is it?
Yup ... You put a sensationalized opener where you hook people in... Which is maybe 2 mins, and then the rest of the video is all about your projects .. lol.
@@Architect0421 I think you missed what I’m trying to say here… from the very beginning I was clear that I will show how its been a struggle, and how it isn’t as easy as they make it look… isn’t that what I said? 🤔
Why put in the thumbnail... "They Lied"? That is the hook...so you are okay what did they lie about... And then it is about how the timeline of fixing cars are edited....I don't think anyone believes it takes them 1 week to get a car fixed. So yeah, click bait.
@@themarvelousvlogTake the feedback, it’s a gift!
If you aren't making money and can't turn a profit. Don't do it. STOP with the click bait titles. I'm on the verge of blocking your channel. Be respectful and improve your videos. They are pretty crap right now. I would not subscribe to your channel in it's current form. Much improvement is needed.
👋
When John says one more, we go for one more 😂
He’s lethal mate. You see how much thrill he got from it? 😂
I enjoy your content, but please stop calling big companies and people out for your gain. I dont think it looks good, just my opinion.
He does this all the time.
I didn’t know it wasn’t allowed but I’ll keep this in mind 😅
@@themarvelousvlogdon't accept censorship, call everyone out.
I ddnt know this dude till today. If he actually did watch Matt’s videos, you’d see that he puts a lot of hours in, and his Dad is a mechanic. Nothing looks easy there mate. Stick to doing you bruv
What you mean it doesn’t look good it’s his channel let him do him.. Most channels chat sha-at man that’s why copart is saturated and cars sell for the same price they sell for on auto trader that are not cat S and require 0 work… Most of these projects that a normal guy buys from these companies end up on eBay/gumtree look for yourselves… but then the same person will say maybe it was my luck just cause next man isn’t struggling with a project… everything looks easy on a screen its about when you get down into the nitty and gritty stuff and do it on your own you realise I was comfortable on the sofa watching doing it isn’t my game but every man and his dog want to have a go…
They were on the bottom and had nothing. They worked hard for many years. They started just like you and the got bigger as you will.They have sponsors and they have to work harder to get things done for those sponsors.You will get to the top 🔝 keep grinding and wrenching 💥👊🏼
100% the work that they put in their channel and build isn’t easy that’s for sure!
Bro did you prime the engine before firing it up
All the hard work will be worth it hopefully.
I need to know why you are storing all that waste oil?
I bought my 1st rebuild from Copart 2007 Mercedes SL500 in 2014. Hit in the front and rear. I did all the body repairs I could do alone, learning as I went. The major part was the rear, which I didn't have a pulley to pull the wheel well tub out to get the trunk lid to close. Total cost; Car $5200, rear support brace $150, pulling the tub, paint front/rear bumper, lid spoiler, buff polish car $2200, muffler repair $150, $2500 + $400 powder coating 20x9, 20x11 Savini wheels with Pirelli tires. Kept it and enjoyed it for 3.5yrs and sold it for $10k. Not bad for my 1st build. 2nd build was a 2014 SL550 with front end damage repaired and still have today.
Just like rebuiding an old house then!
Check mighty car mods. There the real rebuilt champs and the legends where it begon on youtube.
Love them mate! I started watching those guys when they had like 10k subs
amazing bit of content bro the joys of it but when you hear the motor rumble its like heaven stunning content cant wait to see her in full blankets and shinning👌👌👌👌💪💪💪💪👊
Same! It’s going to look brilliant!
Saving Salvage is the most transparent channel for rebuilds Matt Armstrong doesn't have a clue
Oh that vrs swap....😂
Salvage Rebuilds UK and Saving Salvage are my favourites. Both seem completely transparent about the process and don't glamourise it at all.
@kieranb5385 Car throttle and Auto Alex are the best channels for entertainment I recon they have that old top gear vibe
Mat Armstrong doesn't have a clue ..... Hmmm ROLLS ROYCE WRAITH in the garage
Salvage rebuilds. Love those two
Nothing beats that smile when your newly fixed engine fires into life. It's the best feeling!
Until it’s driving I will not rest 😂
@@themarvelousvlog even when it drives im still worried 😂
I don’t think auto Alex could change a spark plug ??
Ah he’s brilliant he is. Funny af 😂
Great video amazing build.
Mods don’t always go to plan but hang in there you will get there.
You can then sit back a say I did that.
You are a great inspiration it keeps me going with my Hilux.
Keep up the good work.👍🏼
Thank you mate! Which hilux have you got? 👀

Great work and good luck a fantastic watch great to see your hard work paying off
Thank you!
Going back a few years, I had a ford sierra 20l automatic, but not one panel matched in colour. I was able to buy a lovely condition sierra 1.6l manual but the engine was dead. Me and my brother swapped the complete running gear over in between work and we did it at work because of the use of a fork lift so that helped loads, we started on the Tuesday and by Thursday is was done so I took to a mot to get a kind of mot thing because of the swap. But we stripped all the spares on a pallet and dumped the old chassis in a work roll on of bin. Because of our work that had loads and fixings etc so we didn’t need to buy anything. So easy but obviously, you and most people know a ford is a lot easier than a bmw, which I worked on my 5 series a while after. It was as easy as swapping batteries in a remote as same frame work and we did not have to buy a thing. lol great work Marv, love your videos 👍🏎️
There's also a lot of rebuild/restoration videos from Chinese mechanics on UA-cam these days - its curious as not only do they not interact as much with viewers (presumably due to language barriers) they don't even seem to be making the videos to marketing the workshops they are at (and they have amazing workshops with every bit of kit you could imagine close to hand - maybe all the tools and parts are literally made down the road from where they are!)
This is what's called, getting experience, struggling through things and figuring them out,. it may be hard or a pain, but you don't realize how much you learned from it. When you hear the older people have the experience this is what they are talking about. you will never forget what you just learned if it ever comes up again.
From my experience of rebuilding/reshelling old VW's, whatever you think it's going to cost double it, because you will always find things that need replacing or it makes sense to replace it while things are out and things do break
Most of my moding & rebuilding was done on pre 1980's cars.. That seemed bad enough and a drain on the wallet, but this stuff is way, way beyond my out of date skill set.. Fascinating and entertaining watch Mat.. Can't wait for your report on the 0 to 60 times..
Sooo..You basically used their names in your title so you can get pushed onto their subscribers “new to you” list?
Another entertaining video, nice one dude 👊👍
Thank you!
U have to lie . like Mat
Hey, new to your channel. I've got myself a 118 that I'm rebuilding.
Good luck to you and your channel 😊
I love this channel, glad I found it.
Thank you!
We never got to see you put it together ... never got to see MA, Chris Slix and 2Varish pop round to help you finish the work neither....
Good to see you getting it done without major video editing making it look like a breeze.
The only thing he pointed out is that they all out a lot more hard work and dedication towards the work that we get to see. Well done to you and John and the rest of the UA-camrs! I can’t believe people think there was anything negative.
The only exposure here is how hard you all work!!!
Guys a magician, i get nervous building a plastic model kit
You deserve good things cus your a top bloke
Hahaha, don’t we know it. We have a series on the channel about a Marcos Mantula which was supposed to be a 4 part series…
Part 19 is currently in editing!!! Complete strip down and rebuild!
Was this what you showed me? The turbo? And I suggested a decat?
They buy cars with stories but what they buy is money pit and everybody knows
There’s always going to be little things Mat Armstrong says it in his videos
Do you actually plan on using this car? Good luck with the insurance mods list! Looks like you bought somebody elses headache.
I will use it to race yes and having trade insurance, I’ve got no problem getting insured 😏
I know nothing about these cars and wouldn't trust myself to go anywhere near a car engine, but I found this really enjoyable. Glad you got the engine running in the end after all that hard work. Looking forward to seeing the car with all the panels and front end on 👏👏👏
Glad you enjoyed it!
Just seen the update . I understood the meaning behind the original video and title but i can see how it was taken the wrong way . Keep on trucking . Top videos . We all learn how one thing can be taken different ways but your reckified it properly . Top job
Thank you!
I'm having my mx5 restored for £4000 at the same place as Alex and Matt, both of which have not had to pay a penny becuase they are influencers and their cars will have a way better finish too. I've seen my car in the background of some videos being heavily neglected, things like leaving a door open for no reason when another car is having all it's filler cut out ruining my interior. People like this get soooo many benefits when it comes to building cars while the rest of us get a rotten deal in comparison. It becomes so unrealistic for others to mimmic unless they are a millionaire and even then they won't have all the connections like these youtubers have.
All I’m saying to everyone is, it’s difficult for normal people like us to do what they do. Just wanna make them aware 🥲
100% bro and you are spot on with this video like always. I've built my mx5 90% myself (will be boosted and forged eventually) and halfway through a euro 3 diesel V70 project with carbed up leaky injectors as well so I know too well how easy these guys have it with sponsors and how unrealistic they make things look. "Big shout out to BC racing for the free coilovers go and check them out" 🤣🤣 People also assume that you don't know anything and mess you about like you've proved in your other videos. Main reason why as do as much work as I can myself everyone's such a rip off bro
While the exact net worth of Matt Armstrong UA-cam is not publicly disclosed, based on his successful career in content creation and endorsements, his estimated net worth is in the range of $1 million to $5 million So definitely not shy of cash to rebuild Cat N Cars make it look easy and in fact it's not very true....👏🏾
Was not expecting to see my work when I opened UA-cam 🤣
Matt doesn’t even sugar coat things 😂 who ever watches him and thinks he makes money in his projects is mad. He openly says that he spends a fortune on the rebuilds stop click baiting him I dunno about the other guys you mentioned.
He wouldn't bother if his channel made no profit. Stop being a reprobate.
Shout out salvage nation too and saving salvage and legit street cars ❤
Get salvage nation on this
Might have to get in touch… 😂🥲
Good content with clickbait nonsense - a shame.
Absolutely correct! Thay all also bang on about car vertical all the time, I can tell you it's not all it's cracked up to be!!!
It’s a complete rip off
But they never advertised to buy crashed cars for u to say they lying or not telling the truth they just do it for content
Ahhh!
once the project is done, give us a full cost and time breakdown!
Absolutely will! Will break down the labour too
Johns exitement when asked if the car would start was a struggle for him to hide 😂 good video
John is my bad and good luck 😂
Thank you!
did the lad breaking the other one not have the rest of the exhaust? could of bought what he had that downpipe fit
Problem is the exhaust he’s got is like 2-3 inches shorter so it would’ve not fit + I’d wanna keep the MPE
@matarmstrongbmx please don't waste time watching this vid because he is just trying to make something from u tavarish and others I love your channel please don't let guys like this discourage u. Peace
I’m not trying to discourage them but okay 😅
@themarvelousvlog didn't watch the full video. I hope everything turns out well for u just i would suggest u to be authentic in ur video titles
@@clirimhasani9197 I’ll keep this in mind 🙇♂️
Hats off to you for taking on such a project and working on your own business. Caught your videos just off chance ine day and watched ever since. I am not machanic but love your honesty and hardwork with the costumers. Just like you after covid i left the council after 21 years and started my own garden business. I like Mat Armstrong video and hes really up beat and has great video content but an the other side his dad was a trained manhanic just like you so that would help alot. I think people comment towards this video is stupid you are telling the truth about a rebuild
I don’t get why they’re hating on me. I’ve not once said I hate them etc… I did say from the very beginning that I want to show them how difficult it is and how it can set you back if you’re doing it for profit 🤷🏽♂️
@@themarvelousvlog that's the world we live in today. People see a pic or a few words and just on that instead of listening to the full facts
The joys of aftermarket parts they never fit right and need tweaking , worth it tho for the xtra horses
100% mate!!!
The problem is they are content creators who make money from their channell. You are a working mechanic who has to fix cars for your day job and probably quite reluctant to work on your own car after doing two clutches in one day.
Their to-do list that day when they wake up is to go up and fix their own car. I'd be loving life if that's all I had to do.
This is what people needs to know. It is not easy for normal people!
@@themarvelousvlog Surely no one thinks that any of this is easy. All the big UA-camrs started off on simple builds as "normal people" and things gradually developed. Lockdown gave all those that were in a position to capitalise a massive audience which has given them enough revenue to fund the more exotic stuff and take on help. It turned from a hobby to a full time entertainment business. These people had ambition and made this happen. It must have it's own stresses which I believe Tavarish has talked about. You just keep doing you and don't worry about anyone else was the best advise I was given🙂.
Your video making me wanna try to get into this industry love the videos thooo
Do it mate 💪🏽
Do you charge your clients the time that you spend on video recordings? Transparency and all that...
No, of course not. That will be unfair af. Takes like extra hr or two to record 😂
@@themarvelousvlog Then I take my hat off to you.👌
Bro we know but they do their own vehicles all day long and you do other peoples for work so don’t hate on them they just get free stuff and have more contacts with established industries and promoting their products. You can do better than them if you followed their business model but you are the mobile guy , a much harder situation to be in but I think that you are in a more niche market than any of them.!
Bro When YOU get your premises and step up your marketing or get a garage you will be on thier level or higher.keep it real bro and stay humble and focused in YOUR LANE !👍🏾
I’m not even hating 😅 I look up to those guys. Just wanted everyone to be aware that it’s not easy what they do- for a ‘normal’ person anyway
