- After buying and rebuilding Adam LZ's Porsche 911 GT3 i now have to decide what ill do with it. As the Porsche is over 4000 miles away from home i need to work out whether i pay import & delivery fees to get it back to the UK or weigh up the other options.

Mat, you have changed my life.
You’re a talented and humble person, Freddie. We’ll enjoy watching you enjoy it yourself!!
Thank you for buying the car such a good story couldn’t end better
You’re a really cool guy Freddy, I’ve watched you since V8 Vantage and it’s really nice to see you remained humble like all those years ago. 👍
Watched you both struggle with tough days that many of us recognise and are living, this was the best and most authentic ending to this story
I’m just loving this friendship. Amazing
Thank you Tavarish for letting Mat build cars in your garage!
helping each other is sick!!
One car 😂
@@Pob2278for now. And btw thats more than everybody else let him do …
They both benefitted heavily from the views - so it was an easy win win! Plus two great guys who are the leading car channels from UK and US!
Best combo
another great video Mat 👏🏻👏🏽👏🏾👏🏿👏🏼
35 MINITES AGO HI
UA-cam watching the second channel?
youtube watching the second channel and using every color hand is crazy
UA-cam admin must really love cars haha
Yt really likes every type of content 😂
Such a great ending to the epic GT3 adventure.
Ohh look who’s not only into tech! This comment is worth a million!
Breakdown on what they are doing here.
1. If mat were to bring it back home he would have had to pay all the taxes and Vat on the retail price of the car.
2.But by selling it to Freddy for a far lesser price tag of what he brought it for wrecked. Freddy will have to pay far less Taxes when he will be shipping it back to UK.
3. It’s a smart move on their part to save up quite a lot of money and to grow their YT channels by showcasing such a unique give he will be giving away to his friend.
Not mad just want them to be more clear on why they did that. I don’t know if this a legal move since they will be evading tens or thousand of dollars by doing so.
Evading taxes isn’t cool. Still a great end
@@lgtv8526of course it’s legal, they’re not evading taxes because the car will stay in the US. if freddie brings it to the UK it wont be forever, it might be for a week or so when stays. you’re completely misunderstanding what’s happened lol
@lgtv8526 lol what are you talking about. Where did you get "far less than the price Matt bought it for wrecked" from?
The Mat and Freddy collab was truly a peak youtube moment
(8:50 this wholesome moment killed me)
Mat is not just a great content creator but also a great heart, I'm so glad everything worked out for you guys, well deserved.
Freddy deserves this GT3 and more. He is truly a great person.
It was his fucking car right from the beginning...
Couldn't have gone to a better person. This GT3 is an absolute dream car. You guys are legends! Great job on the rebuild Mat. Looking forward to the next big project!
One of the best, if not, THE best, UA-cam collabs between 2 humble and like minded people, sharing the same passion. Watching the journey of this car has been amazing. Both such down to earth guys. Thank you both for the awesome content you guys provide!
So glad it went to him! He’ll make some incredible content with it. You did a phenomenal job rebuilding it!
This is a perfect end to the monumental GT3 rebuild. The MA/Tavarish collab has been some of the best content on YT.
100%! It's been a great series of videos to follow, especially given it was a GT3 too!
Actually brought a tear to my eyes. Well done guys - what a great journey. Thanks for sharing it with us!
This journey has been so good to watch from start to when Adam LZ crashed it, from Matt and the Freddy link up, to Dad and Matt building this car back and now being bought back by Freddy. Now thats not a Friendship. Thats a Brotherhood. Been an absolute pleasure

They are just smart, evading taxes isn’t cool
@@lgtv8526 Oh dear... So wrong on so many levels. 1. Freddy's plan is to tour with the car, UK, Europe. It will remain on a US plate, so it will not be imported and will return back to US after the tour (you can do this for up to 6 months stay). Therefore there is no import, no taxes, no duties 2. If this was their plan it would've been a very dumb plan, since customs assess value based on book rate / retail / valuation. I've been importing & exporting for over 20 years and customs NEVER use invoice value (simply because anyone can knock up a sales invoice!)
@@lgtv8526your in a dream world lad.
Way too many delusional comments on my thread post.
What a perfect end to the build. Freddie and Marks understanding and appreciation for each other is amazing 👏 bravo
Mat's father deserves a an acknowledgement of 50k US Dollars this time as well. He is so important to all the projects and sometimes, in certain moments, almost pivotal to help to push through.
And there has been a deal before, i think it looks like - Mat never was fully free to sell the car @market price in the US and keep the money for himself. Mat worked and got payed all his expences for but his profit needs now to come out of UA-cam. That's the deal. His channel got leverage - and potential more viewers on both sides of the Atlantic too. I hope this pays out. (Otherwise the UK worked to fuel the US.)

@@lgtv8526 Of course it's legal. If you own something, you're under no obligation to make money selling it.
@@lgtv8526you’re wrong. Freddy would be temporarily shipping it to the UK. So would pay nothing as he’s not looking to full time import it. It’s classed as a temporary import. So your whole statement and its basis makes zero sense
@@TheRSGaragend even if it did, what is this guy?? The states nanny, its ridiculous how much taxes you gotta pay, its straight up a robbery
What a great way to end. Freddie is one of the nicest blokes around. This build has been amazing & I have followed it intensely, checking UA-cam all the time for the next video. Mat you deserve all the success you have achieved up to now because good things happen to nice people. Introducing Freddie to everyone was again... a masterstroke. Your content just keeps getting better & better. Well done mate ..... peace out
How nice are these 2 guys. You never know what people are truly like but somehow I feel like these two are absolutely genuine.
Like brothers born on two different continents
@@anthonyworthington6495 that's exactly it. great to see
mates for life. They be discussing this event, about the good old days in 50 years time on an electric rocking chair
Mat and Freddie seriously are "THE" nicest guys on UA-cam car wise. Just shows the world is a better place with genuine guys miles apart. Big shout out to everyone that helped from the UK and USA 😎👊👊👊
WTF ..???
goonzquad: Am i a joke 2 u ?
Colabs with good guys on UA-cam is the way forward
💯
Literally the two best UA-camrs out there, not just in terms of brilliant content but also just two humble nice guys who both came from nowhere (and didn't forget). Freddy, Mat, we love you, and please please please keep collaborating.
respect to both guys,what goes around comes around in the nicest way.
Love the content and collaboration a coming together of 2 true gents.
Just like to mention Mat’s father the unsung hero…. His input in rebuilding the car has been amazing and so wholesome to watch.
A testament to him as he has been invaluable in the rebuild and what a great guy he is.
Most of all he has raised such a true guy in Mat and it shows in this video.
Well done Mat
Well done Freddie
Well done Mr Armstrong 🤝
Freddy is one of the most genuine persons anyone will ever meet. Congrats on the car Freddy. You deserve that and more.
How good this whole thing has been. Two mates hanging out doing what they love. Couldn't think of a more deserving person for the GT3's new home.
For real! I’m a new fan here!! If only the original owner of the car wasn’t too cool to do anything with this.
Mat is one incredible guy who deserves every bit of success in the world!!!
Why don’t you just marry him then
This is hands down the best and most wholesome thing i've saw in a long time. What a great collaboration between Matt and Freddie. Hope to see plenty more videos of them together in the future!
Didn't expect that turn of events. Matt is a smashing bloke and lucky to have met Tavarish on the way. Both make a great team. Well done guys
What a wholesome end to GT3 I'm glad you gave it to Freddy he totally deserves it especially for being such a good friend.
Well done mat for giving it to Freddie for what you paid for it speaks volumes to me your truly a decent man 👍👏
I've discovered Mat by seeing Tavarish's videos. Such a humble and nice person! You both have a great history and inspire a lot of us. Thanks for the colab and for sharing such a great content!
and I discovered Tavarish by watching Mat's videos!
Mat, this has turned out to be a very very special series. I’ve followed you for years and always respected everything you’ve done, but this whole adventure has been in another galaxy. Big big thumbs up to you, Hannah and of course your brilliant Dad. Live long and prosper 🖖
Mat, it's official - you are a complete legend! What a fantastic conclusion to this epic rebuild - you could have sold the car for a heap of money but instead you've given Freddy the opportunity to enjoy the car without paying the retail price. This is amazing generosity and confirms what others have already said - you have real heart! Well done, my man! I'm already looking forward to your next Porsche adventure!
They both seem like genuinely nice guys and I enjoyed that series 👏🏾👏🏾
What a journey. Two humble car enthusiasts bonding and collaborating. Please do more build series together. Was such a pleasure to watch.
I’d of voted for an auction or give away. Pay into buying tickets, make way more than selling to Freddie and one of use get an amazing car, footage for you, and everyone wins. Could be live changing for something! Freddie’s great but a 200k car so someone could change their world.
This was such an epic build Mat! Can't wait to see all that comes next! ❤
I love the relationship you two have established. You can rest assured that your car is in the best possible hands!
What an amazing ending and gesture to Freddie ! Matt could easily come out with nearly 100k profit in this car but chooses to pass this onto Freddie! Not everything in life is about money ! Kudos to Matt!
I doubt he could get 100k profit. He paid 130k in pounds. You have to understand people that buy high end Porsches like these are not buying rebuilt
@@falcaofalcao528 Yes, but how much has Matt made from the UA-cam vids? I think he's quids in..........
@@banditdarville. that’s not the argument. No one was talking about the vids. Yes, he has definitely made a lot from the videos but to but it for 130k he would need to sell it for 230k to make 100 grand. I’m saying if I’m buying a GT3 for 230k it won’t be crashed and anyone who has that money will be happy to spend 30-50k more for a brand new one
What an amazing way to end this epic journey, and you've made a friend for life . Can't wait for the next one. Freddie and Matt, what a team!
There could not have been a better ending to one of the best car rebuilds EVER. But there is something even better...we have watched the beginning of one of the greatest emerging friendships. Well done guys and greetings from the UK.
What a great series of vids. Mat's Dad is fantastic, Freddie is a legend for giving Mat the opportunity to do the build. It was such a good watch.
This got me emotional love Tavarish and Matt both down to earth guys stay that way and you go a long way in life. All the very best to both of you ❤
How nice of you to give it to Freddie, he deserves it so much 👍👍
He sold it to Freddie, not gave it
@@th3b0untyhunter yeah I know
Only a genuine, generous & warmhearted gentleman such as Mat can do things like this...Mat, your positivity & enthusiasm had a great impact on freddie who just got out from a heartbreaking separation...Good for you both....!
The two nicest and most genuine guys on here. What a journey. Can't wait to see more 🙌
Two really great people working in harmony with each other.
Inspirational guys in a very strange world..
It would be amazing if you end up getting a crazy rare porsche as a next project, I know it would be hard to top this one off but what an amazing journey and im glad Freddy will keep it. Keep up the amazing content man!
I don't think this could of ended any better....Freddie well deserves it.
Absolutely awesome, Matt that’s a super gesture, Freddie, couldn’t think of a better new owner.
You guys are both amazing and an inspiration to those of us who desire to start up a UA-cam venture. ❤
im suprised adam lz isnt in this comment section. i also think you should import the car to the uk but giving it to freddie was definitely the second best option
Man it was a blast! thank you for rebuilding this masterpiece Mat, and Thank you as well Freddy for helping Mat out with the behind the scenes, seriously you guys are an inspiration to all others in the industry. Much love and respect!
I wish Matt would stop fan boying Adam lz
You're sort of right, Adam has almost no respect towards Mat and is trying his best to avoid Mat and is doing absolutely everything to not meet up with Mat
Yeah I wish he would melt the LZ off the crash bar
Who knows..maybe he wants to get the rid of it bcuz Adam LZ is a prick and it left a bad vibe with him
@@therealrandoany idea why?
@@SgtRock4445 he is just pretentious.
Really cringy and disrespectful going back to the exact spot and corner of Adam's crash imho...
Smiling ear to ear by the end of this video. Blown away by Mat's decision but what an amazing gesture! I think it's a happy moment for the fans knowing we may see the GT3 again in future videos! Cheers for the great series Mat and Freddy!
I don’t think even if you tried you can love Matt and Tavarish any more. Two of the nicest dudes… well done lads.
A heart warming end to such a brilliant build. Your best one yet I think, and it's so nice to see it go to Freddy as well. Well deserved and it'll bring you both all that much closer. Would love to see the reverse happen now. Freddy needs to come over to the UK and build a right hand drive!
Great one matt you know the gt3 will be in good hands and you definitely need to get one for your collection
Absolutely smashed it mate. Not many like you that doesn’t let money define you! You lads are a good team. Keep killing it lads
That so so sweet of you Mat! You always does these things. I remember when gave the Toyota to that guy nd he cried. 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲👍👍
That's epic Mat, fair play mate. Glad to see it complete and get enjoyed by a well deserved new owner. 💪🏼
Love how generous you are so humbling. Watched your vids since the get go, amazing to see how far you’ve came matt genuinely
Oh darn, I thought you have an option 4 where you will give it to your subscribers!😂
So glad you opted for option 3. Been a joy to to follow your journey and collaboration. Freddy is always welcome to the UK.
I was hoping for this ending, what a journey that was! Looking forward to the next build.
Just a great testament on making and having real friends in life. Kudos to you Matt and Tavarish for letting us in on it.
2 legends of UA-cam. Hope to see more of u two working together on each other's channels.
Shows what kind of guy you are Matt. All about the journey, looking out for the people who helped you and having having an absolute blast in the process! Kudos to both you and Tavarish and everyone else who helped along the way. 🤙
Freddy really took you in like family,
glad you returned the favour back..
What a lovely bromance! So nice of Tavarish to have the build there and Mat repaid him in a generous way. Legends.
I love the friendship y’all have! Amazing journey for the both of you with life in general, and then to end the GT3 like this is just poetic. ❤ Can’t wait to see more from both of y’all!
take the car to LZ compound! I'm sure Adam would love to see the car again
What a gent couldn’t have gone to a better most honest person matt ❤
Matt this is why so many of us are loving having you bring us the true expression of LOVE and PASSION. I feel chills of gratitude all over my body! Thank you Matt!
That brought a smile to my face! Option 3 was a very nice gesture!
Freddy comes across as such a really nice genuine guy, the cars going to an awesome home.
An absolutley briliant rebuild.I take my hat of to you,and the fact that your dad was helping you,made it more special.
What a real down to earth bloke Freddie is, real genuine guy. Chuffed for you both lads, this duo long may it continue!
Mat you're such a gentleman, good to see great guys like you leading by good example. Awesome Mat lots of love for you bro!
Mat, you always make my day ❤
Such an awesome end to the CHAPTER not the story!!! I have enjoyed EVERY minute of this rebuild journey and I the fact that you did it with another one of my fav YT OGs is icing on the cake! I wish both of you guys super success in the future and next builds!!!!
I don't consider myself an out and out petrol head but I have really enjoyed this rebuild. You cover the problems and issues you have, rather than trying to teach people how to rebuild it themselves, which I find quite refreshing. Onward and Upward Mat .
What a great friendship looking forward to more builds from you guys 👍
This is the best outcome ever, so glad Freddy gets to enjoy this car, he's an absolute legend.
This is what the youtube community should be about, building geniune friendships, and helping each other out. Such a nice touch to sell it on to Freddie at the cost price too. Loved that.
been such a good series to follow. Both guys deserve the world and we all know for a fact mat would give freddie the GT3 for free if he could which is nuts to even think 🤣 but with mat it’s not even a thought of not doing it - big love to both guys ❤
Both of you guys have been an inspiration. I love your videos and I hope you guys keep on making great things happen! Congrats to Mat for the rebuild and Freddie for the new 992 GT3.
Absolutely brilliant! Congrats to two great guys for working so hard and bringing this masterpiece back to life and giving it a fitting home
Brilliant journey, Well done Mat and crew .Look forward to your next build ,
You guys make an amazing team!! Keep the great work you're doing on UA-cam.
Only just found this channel and just binged watched the whole LZ Porsche episodes. What a fantastic heart warming story and at least its gone to a good home! Thanks Mat. Looking forward to you doing a UK Spec and you can borrow my workshop if you like! 😉
Such a wholesone moment, i want to see both of them do another colab cause both of them deserve the respect❤
Just love the positive energy in these videos. It’s infectious.
Fantastic and a wonderful gesture to Freddy =D Good decision I think regards all the costs and complications of importing back to the UK too!
You guys are legends. You are both such nice guys. What a great story.
Love it.. keep up the good content Mat
Time to buy a bigger unit Matt & Take this shit to the next level
Been following from Kenya. This is one of those series one wishes would never end. What an exhilarating journey, what a team, and what a fitting finale to the GT3 story.
Love how that ended , couldn't agree more with Freddie getting the 992. Congratulations on another epic build with a great ending ..
Did he sell it to him for 210 or the price he paid at auction?
This was always my dream, not only to work with cars, but also own a Porsche one day. I felt in love with 911’s since I was a boy. I never had enough courage to do what you did. It’s nice to see how it looks in real life. Congratulations Mat, you live “our” dreams, mega happy for you. You did well, you inspire others and you should be proud of yourself.
TOP LADS 💖, NUMBER 1 ON YT FOR ME, WHAT A BROTHERHOOD 👊🏼!
ngl this touched me... something strange came out my eye, no idea what it was 😂 never felt that happen before like that 😂 strange.
"Frieddie's link in the description" argh!! But what a great ending to the Porsche! Keep it going Mat! So Jealous, I Wish I had the balls to do what you do! I so want a McLaren...
mat do u have a price for what the total build wss ?bro or are you just selling it to Fred FOR $160k what you purchased it for as thats the deal u said in this video ...
