    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 😂

    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.

    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.

    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

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 ! 👍👍👍

    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.
