Alot of negative comments here 😂Just remember... In a real life situation returning the car seems the best thing to do. But as creating content is my full time job it would make a much better story and content to rebuild this thing. The frame damage although unexpected is very minor compared to alot of projects seen on UA-cam. I love to push myself and move on further with bigger builds. All safety aspects and frame damage will be done by professionals to ensure the car is safe. The rest will be left to me! Enjoy the content guys dont worry too much! you didnt buy it 😂
Good luck with it mat, as long as the frame is straightened professionally then I dont see an issue with it. Loved the bit when you said if it's not your day then make it your day, brilliant attitude to have and look forward to seeing the next video
This guy is one of the best creators on UA-cam. I won't lie, I have been following you since your Bentley build. Since then, every video of yours, I have watched it. Honestly watched it. Now you getting this, I am so happy and proud of you. Keep shining mate.
@Ethan Clark yes, but it’s still hard to find the motivation to get things done, especially with the shitty situations he’s been presented with. But yes, also looking forward to this build :)
Just a heads up; when Copart lists a car as an "Enhanced Vehicle", it means that it has already had an attempted repair on it, and will be "dressed up" to look better than it is
A lot of those copart cars look like stolen insurance write offs, used as getaway cars, unfortunately the damage goes deep on those cars, like my sons stolen golf r
Mat.. you're a breath of fresh air.. Listening to the problems with that C63 and still remain so upbeat about it all.. just puts a smile on my face.. Will continue to stay tune.. and hope you get the car on the road for your other half..
@@MrTwister86660 head bolts snapping and top end problems were problems with early m156 engines, they ironed out most of the problems by 2014. It should be a reliable car once its sorted out.
That’s what makes this channel! Matts positivity and the ability to just get it done. This content will make this channel! Just enjoy the fix and show some love!
Fair play for posting Mat. Others might not upload, hide, ignore or try to give back etc. Your openness is who you are and don't change. Good luck with this project.
I have a 2014 Peugeot 208 actually it’s my first car 😅 but I bought it also sight unseen with a lot more damage but I let a good mechanic I know do it for 2500€ without paint was 1000€ but I drive it daily and love it very much I also having plans to go on a road trip with it so don’t scare you away with the damage it’s not that very much
This is going to be great content Matt and that is the reason we are all here. For you and Hanna and the genuine, real world style that you bring, not fake, not over produced, just great content from a real person in a real world, even for Aussies.
More peace of mind fixing it yourself you know its done properly than letting someone or somewhere else do it, someone already tried dressing that car up to make it look better too many cowboys out there
I enjoy these videos of yours Mat, you're so positive about everything! Love the editing too, the timelapses, the cuts and all the rest- would you mind me asking are you doing the video editing yourself or are you outsourcing it? In any case, I really respect what you're doing. Is that right that you are not car technician yourself? You're only learning by taking the subsequent cars apart and then rebuilding them again?
A scary project and fair play to you for giving it a go. Your ambition to get it back on the road is why we are all here, remember all those people leaving negative comments will be watching with intent to see you fail. Prove them wrong Mat!!! Looking forward to seeing this beast in the road
This is a massive project Mat and no better man to take it on...this is going to be so interesting to watch as you progress..bodywork of this nature is so specific and I will be so interested to see how the process of realignment actually works. Keep them rolling out and make sure Hannah helps too 😊 it is going to be her car after all 😄
PMA. Your videos are so addictive. Sat up till 3am watching them. Made me feel confident and motivated in getting my converted transit LWB Hightop sorted once and for all.
Dude, if you can rebuild this bent patchwork C63 you will go down in Automotive YoutTube history as an absolute ledgend ! Best of luck I will be looking forward to watching every week to see your progress. Your channel is by far the most addictive and inspiring one out there atm
Respect to you for being honest. You seem to know what you are doing and yet even you got stung!!! A good learning lesson for anyone who thinks it's easy to do what you do.
I bought a 18 Q5 at copart and the exact same thing happened. If you copy and past the VIN in to google you have to look and search, but you will find THE OG pictures. This happens all the time. This is what gives rebuilt cars a bad name. Glad to see your staying positive.
Man I love the positive attitude. The car books around 35k (US Dollars) and only paying half that seems like good deal only if 10k or less is put back in to fix and is safe. Any time I see a vehicle at auction that has the keys and in the highlights it doesn't say runs and drives or engine starts or an X on hood to indicate hood is stuck closed usually there's an issue and somebody is being fraudulent. It is always best to run the vin and check to see if its been in auction before to catch things like this if checking in person in not an option. Its always nice to have that money back, but its also nice having that gratification helping others learn from your experience so they know what to look for and knowing you fixed something that not a lot of people believe that you can or even should do. Good luck I hope all goes well.
Mate, feel so bad for you. Hate when people try and rip other people off but good on you mate for going ahead with the build. Looking forward to this one, gona be epic! Keep at it and don’t listen to the haters. Your channel is the best on you tube....... peace out!
I was going to say there's a lot of people in UK who cam do it but then realised it will probably be cheaper for him to send it to Lithuania get it fixed and return it back and still save money.
Go for it Mat mate! Too many negative comments to worry about. Hannah will love it more after you have turned into her dream motor. Good on ya lad, love watching your content and your positivity is sorely needed. The C63 is a helluva motor and I am looking forward to seeing how it turns out.
I used to drive an S-Class as a Taxi, I used to do a few repairs myself, Beer income with a Champagne taste. I suspect this is also a modular design, where you can basically just buy new parts and refit them as needed. You are lucky to be doing this in the UK, in Germany you can't send or even fit airbags yourself unless you are a ``Meister´´ mechanic. Airbags are classed as explosives. A double garage where I live, big enough to do repairs is about the same as renting a flat, buying a garage is about the same as some houses in the UK, very frustrating. Great video channel! It is now 11,00am and the emergency warning sirens are going off!
Can’t wait for this. I had a 120d and watched your whole series on that and now I’ve just brought a c250cdi amg so will be watching all of these for sure!!!
@@bruciekibbutz4698 yeah and the engine is probably no good in this one. Hoses missing belts missing if its just crash damage why are they missing. I know how much the cars are worth ive just paid 26k for one
hell yeah man i love your optimism! cant believe those buggers. I did buy a 2014 tl for $5400.00 Canadian with lots of hail damage. Looking forward to rebuild that as well. Its all about the journey and experience, money comes after!
subbed because i just got 2014 C63 with light front end damage and this popped up. wheel was bent back but it was just a control arm! I hope you go into detail on parts because mine just hit my friend’s body shop after 2 months of ebay part searching, but i’m sure i’m missing things on the front end. Can’t wait to see you finish this build and learn to do whatever i’m missing
I'm from Birmingham, and even me and my family don't buy from here. 97% of the cars here have been ragged, not looked after and been through more owners than a corner worker.
So much positivity, enthusiasm, optimism. It is two years later now and I'm wondering how you got on. Shall now take a look at your later videos to see with my toes crossed for you. Belated good luck and best wishes.
Its the fun part of buying salvage motors . Recently bought a focus off copart took delivery of it opened the bonnet and it had a 4x2 plank of wood straight through bumper and damaging the loom
@@kevinjbreslin4290 That's a bastard thing to say! Of course it will be safe once completed and before Hannah drives it. There's no reason why it should drive any differently as Mat does a proper job on these cars. He may not have the upfront experience and knowledge but that is what the internet is for, for diagrams, photographs and talking to other people. Mat would never put Hannah at risk of harm.
Mat, I recon that you're 100% right about the boot lid being from a regular W204 C63 AMG saloon model, as the C63 AMG coupe you have is much more rarer and harder to find !, So I recon that the salon boot lid is most probably about 20mm longer than the C63 AMG coupe boot lid. You're brave for taking this project, but it will be well worth it in the end and your girlfriend will love you even more ! LOL when she finally has the car she's always wanted ! I believe you can use the boot lid from a non AMG "W204" C class coupe and it will fit your car correctly, all you would have to do is just repaint and rebadge it as "C63 AMG" and that end of the car is sorted ! ...once you've done a few minor repairs to the rear bumper and the inside of the latch area of the boot. The front end is going to be the real challenge to sort out, as like you said its going to require specialist jig alignment so all the parts can be located in the correct positions. All the very best of luck man ! 👍👍👍
Step 1: This car is a death trap so get your money back. Step 2: Don’t put your girlfriend in danger. Step 3: Buy your girlfriend a straight C63 AMG as you can afford it!
Well done for posting this, people should know it’s not all upsides with salvage cars, now and again you get burnt. For those who don't have a UA-cam channel: 1. Don’t buy 'C' cars at the auction unless you've been to see it 2. Don't buy anywhere else where seller describes as “easy repair” 3. Don’t convince yourself it’s as good as it looks, assume it’s worse and bid accordingly 4. And if it does all go wrong, re-enter it in the auction, it’s cheap and easy, you'll lose the least this way and you can just move on.
Never seen this channel, I was watching vTuned McLaren 720s rebuild when this popped up on my timeline. Immediately love your enthusiasm, subscribed to watch this C63 rebuild progress. Good luck !
Any video with Hanna in gets my attention ! So looking forward to this build will be epic once it is done, great winter project, no negatively positive vibes from me all the way
Did your attitude is awesome, you’re always smiling and I love cars so I really enjoy watching these. C63 has always been a dream car of mine I can’t wait to see this done.
at 11:30 We heard Mat explain how His positive and successful mind works. PURE INSPIRATION!! I give special PRAISE to Mat's Parents. well done with Your boy
This amount of positivity here has made me want to follow this build!!! I love these! I have a C350 coupe from 2012 myself, same colour and wheels as this, just not in black
Been there and done that, never again nightmare to get hold of parts and danm expensive. It will make a nice UA-cam video but financially its not worth while.
My heart really sank and I felt sorry for you when I watched this Matt as there is a fair bit of damage to that Merc! Bad times indeed!! But you are unbelievably positive!! I think you have such an amazing attitude man!! Your courage to just crack on and go for it is so inspiring and your enthusiasm is infectious! Deffo a big mountain to climb ahead of ya but I know you will make a success of it! Big thumbs up all the way from me! you blatantly are the coolest! BTW that AMG V8 engine is sublime - and they sound absolutely brutal Enjoy!

I just bought the wife a Corsa. We watched this and asked why I'm a cheap duck and don't buy her stuff like this 😂
I hope what she bringing to the table is worth even a Corsa..
I'm so glad this was posted after No Nut November
😂
?
This car was on sale for a long time on eBay.
Never seen this channel, I was watching vTuned McLaren 720s rebuild when this popped up on my timeline. Immediately love your enthusiasm, subscribed to watch this C63 rebuild progress. Good luck !
Any video with Hanna in gets my attention ! So looking forward to this build will be epic once it is done, great winter project, no negatively positive vibes from me all the way
Has no one else noticed he said it’s a 6.3 litre 😭 come on Matt, with your knowledge of cars you should know it’s a 6.2 😂
anyone else paused at 4:57 ? 🙄 🤷🏼♂️
Yeah bro, mat is looking thick.
4:59
It’s gonna be a long winter for you my friend get it running first whilst there’s no bumper get belt and engine side sorted.
Did your attitude is awesome, you’re always smiling and I love cars so I really enjoy watching these. C63 has always been a dream car of mine I can’t wait to see this done.
at 11:30 We heard Mat explain how His positive and successful mind works.
PURE INSPIRATION!!
I give special PRAISE to Mat's Parents. well done with Your boy
Bro there’s plenty of c63s out there throw the keys and the bent frame back to the dealer
I enjoy your rebuild videos a lot but I wouldn’t go putting that back on the road! That’s a breaker for sure
There’s job satisfaction then there’s taking on a car that’s quite literally bent
This amount of positivity here has made me want to follow this build!!! I love these! I have a C350 coupe from 2012 myself, same colour and wheels as this, just not in black
Nice one Mat, I’ll look forward to seeing this project. Love these cars.
4:56 thank me later 😂
Not thankin u tbh
Weirdo
I wouldn’t let my wife drive that, it’s death trap.
I agree it’s not like it’s just a panel
That's the whole plan behind it mate
LOL
Been there and done that, never again nightmare to get hold of parts and danm expensive. It will make a nice UA-cam video but financially its not worth while.
Best channel on entire youtube for me . Thanks for the quality content Matt.
My heart really sank and I felt sorry for you when I watched this Matt as there is a fair bit of damage to that Merc! Bad times indeed!! But you are unbelievably positive!! I think you have such an amazing attitude man!! Your courage to just crack on and go for it is so inspiring and your enthusiasm is infectious! Deffo a big mountain to climb ahead of ya but I know you will make a success of it! Big thumbs up all the way from me! you blatantly are the coolest! BTW that AMG V8 engine is sublime - and they sound absolutely brutal Enjoy!
