    I bought a crash damaged Mercedes C63 W204 & it was cheap... Although rebuilding the AMG is far from cheap. It been very difficult to find second hand parts for so ive had to buy alot from Mercedes directly. I believe the car was involved in some kind of police pursuit before being crashed and evidence in this video backs that up, but making silly mistakes like i did is only going to make the build more expensive.

    Whatever about the "car stuff" (which is great in itself), Matt has the UA-cam video format down to a T. The pacing in these videos is spot on, and things like the mysterious wrapped package at the end to make people come back and watch the next video.
    Hell, this is probably the first time I've ever watched an ad without skipping it, having the ad about what happened to a Ferrari is absolute genius!

    Great video Mat, little tip for the dent damage on the passenger seat . Put a damp (not wet) microfibre towel in the microwave for 2-3 minutes and place it over the damaged leather leave it for 5 mins and the dent should be gone , if not do it again until it is removed. Make sure you treat the leather with some conditioning creme .

    Love your video. Just two comments. No1, i did the same thing when i changed the steering wheel on my honda civic, it was so bad every time i turned the wheel the bloody horn went off! No2 I kept asking myself why didn't he remove the windscreen when removing/refitting the dash as it would have be so much easier and you would have to have replaced it anyway! But then i thought Why pay autoglass twice to come out to remove then come out to relace. You saved some money that way young man.👍

    Loving your videos Matt, first started watching for the E46 and have been making my way through your playlists.
    With the C63 clock spring, it can be fixed. I done the exact same to mine a few years ago when i had the rack disconnected. Snapped both connectors for the steering wheel controls and airbag.
    You can scrape back the the plastic coating on the ribbon cable to expose the bare copper and solder it back on.
    It's a bit of work but at the time i could source a used clock spring and a new one was over £500.
    Looking forward to the next video. 👍

I think this would look way better than any other steering wheel and makes the car feel like a absolute new car. Greetings
