FULL BUILD - REBUILDING A CRASH DAMAGED FERRARI F430 

I bought a totalled car in the US and fixed it in my driveway because of you! I had numerous "oh shit, what have i done" moments. But to my complete amazement, I successfully repaired the car, and drive it daily now! One of my proudest moments, at 55 years old.

It was awesome to see you give your dad this Ferrari, he's such an amazing person ❤ To those who still have dad's in their lives, cherish them.

I've not spoke to the wife for 3 hours 😂

Took me 2hrs 32 mins to realize I've watched this build already. This is quality content Mat

Tavarish giving you that engine what a act of kindness,

I actually cried a tear of happiness when you gave it to your dad.well done that was very sweet and thoughtful and generous of you.

my dad died in January, and i miss him so much. And you making your dad happy like that, will be you with you forever. Even watching this made me cry thinking about mine.

You are the epitome of what every father dreams of. You embody strength, compassion, and resilience, making your dad endlessly proud. Every dad on this planet longs for a son as remarkable as you.

its okay to hug your dad mate

I’m 34, my dad left when I was 7. Never once did I need him or miss him… until I seen mat and his father’s relationship and that shit is so special I’m sad I missed out on that but I’m happy mat taught me more than my sperm donor ever did. Thanks mat and I hope you truly know how lucky you are to have an old man like you do!

Tavarish giving you that engine was some of the best PR work I think I've ever seen being pulled off! Well Done Tavvy, great PR work. And as regards to Mat Armstrong, well, good luck in all your endeavours, just keep going for it and you won't go far wrong!

Absolutely LOVED this! Matt needs his own TV show!

Nothing better than working with your Dad. Watching Dads face, when you gave him the Ferrari was the best feeling. I can only imagine what was going through his head. Disbelief, Love for you Mat, Pride for his son and holding back his tears. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

I love these full build videos! One of the best creators on RU-vid by far.... Great job.

Round of applause for the editor(s) who put this magnificent vid up as well. Job well done everyone and what a beautiful ending.

WOW, Dude. Love that you gave that car to your dad...you are the mann. I am literally in tears. My dad died 38 years ago when I was 15. When I bought my first 4x4 pick up truck I cried because I would have loved to take my dad on a drive to the beech. We used to fish a lot together, but couldn't afford a beech vehicle at the time. It's great that you guys work together...from South AFRICA.

Getting to do all this with your dad is amazing. Treasure these memories!

I watched every minute of this video twice, and think it's amazing! What better ending than to give your father the car! My father and I had a plan to rebuild an old muscle car, after he retired soon...he had race cars he sold when I was born...he was a diesel mechanic by trade, and grew up in a transmission shop his father owned. I grew up in a garage, helping, learning, and doing routine maintenance, and aftermarket parts once I was driving. My father had a severe stroke, just 6 weeks before retirement, and one a year to the day another stroke, that completely debilitated him. He has dementia now, and is in a rest home. Watching your father in the garage with you through all your videos, reminds me of all the great times I had growing up working on cars, and time we spent together. I just wonder sometimes and especially seeing content like this, what would have decided to build, and the sense of accomplishment at the end...✌️

I cried twice watching this rebuild; first when the engine started second when he gave his dad the Ferrari. This really made me miss my dad. Wonderful content!

You don't know how lucky you are to have a dad like him, and a great relationship like yours! That's great you gave your dad the car, would be an awesome feeling no doubt. Good on you Mat, you're a legend mate! I love watching you succeed! Keep it rolling man.

Hey Matt. I follow you araound for quite a while now. As a car enthusiast I think its more than logical to follow your channels. Usually I do not interact a lot with youtubers, being more of a "quiet" viewer, but let me say you I really appreciate your work and admire how you and your dad tackle all those challenges with all those different cars. YOu guys are doing an awesome Job. Also for the rest of the Team and Hannah, but I really wish you all the best for all projects. Having never had a "real" dad that would ever had encouraged me to work on things like this makes me realize ( with my now 40) years that I might have missed a lot over the years. Not complaining, because I was used to be on my owen since my 16th year of life but still this shows how it should be. I´m sure you guys had your fights and differences as well but you stick together and work on those sometime impossible challenges to make it work. Thank you so much for that content. Maybe we meet one day just to exchange some words maybe not. Still want to say, thank you so much. Much love and appreciation from Germany.

The ending made my cry. Such a wonderful thing giving the car to your father.

Your dad is such a rare dad you’re so lucky to have him in your life Matt. I look up to your relationship with him ❤

Love the relationship you and your dad have, the camaraderie laughter and risks just add to a great watch…

Aww, he needed a hug when he was given the key. I can see in the videos the respect you have for your Dad. Good on you for showing it on the chanel. ❤

Your dad makes the channel so wholesome. He really does deserve it. There is nothing better than bonding with your dad. He needs to be in the video for my 👍 like.

Pure engineering marvel of a masterpiece. I have never loved watching a RU-vid video more than this. Simply breathtaking work from Matt and his dad.

Good man, look after your dad, he’s a gem. Not many people get to have their dad help them rebuild cars and he always seems so happy.

Actually brought a tear to my eye. Your dad's a legend.

Wonderful gesture to give the car to your dad Mat. I lost my dad 39 yrs ago and so miss him.

Ive watched the last part a couple of times and tear up everytime. Miss my dad you are blessed to have such a awesome dad.

I can watch this over and over with the same feelings when you give your dad the keys.Awesome.

I have already seen this build and I will watch it again. I really like the mat video!

This is an epic video that sets the standard for this type of rebuild. Presenting the car to your dad was incredible...you two have a special bond. You are the best. The only thing missing at the end was dad and son hugging.

Absolutely loved this one Matt. Giving it to your Dad at the end was just the icing on the cake ❤

Dear Matt thank you for sharing this with those of us who never had a chance like this with our Dad's we are grateful 🙏 .❤

Watching Hanna help push a Ferrari off the lift? The single best moment of the day.(wow! I wish I could be more complementary & charming.) Mat, you are doing quite well too!

Beautiful moment..almost made me cry bruh, wish I had a dad like yours. He's genuinely a great person, we can all feel the energy he radiates wherever we are across the world. So yea, another excellent vid fam and love from Jamaica 🇯🇲 to you and the entire team 👊🏽

Loving the editing and footage of actually taking the engine apart,more in depth.This channel just gets better.Keep up the good work you are the best on RU-vid

When Matt gave the key to his dad I must admit. I got a little choked up.. Nice job guys...

It's 1am and I have an interview tomorrow. Fuck it.

Best part was You handing the key over to your Dad....How nice of You & How Cool & Blessed you are to have his support & love......I have non of that with my Dad

This was longer than most movies but more engrossing.. .. keep up the great work Mat, you are hitting the nail on the head every time

This is by far my favorite build. I'm not the biggest fan of Ferrari mind you, but doing this for your old man, that just takes the cup.

Love these full edit builds even though I’ve seen it already. Great to refresh your memory

Watched the full video in fact pretty much watch all your videos. Just want to say you truly are inspirational Mat what a hard worker you are. You just refuse to be beaten. You truly deserve all the success coming your way. 👍

You are so lucky to have a father like that guy…you are a good son!!!

Watched this in one sitting, what a journey to follow. your dad deserves this. legend.

Hope you guys make more of these full build episodes videos, really good to sit and watch for a couple of hours, really enjoyed watching the rebuild again 👍

Hadn't joined the channel to see the beginning of this build but caught the end when you gave it to your dad, which was awesome AF! Didn't know Tavarish gave you the engine. The man! GG Freddy

Its insane that We all watched this when they came out, and we all watch it again! Its a combo of your accent and car content, it feels enough like top gear. Thank you Mat

Watched 718 S build, and this was next level. Great that you get to share your passion with your dad, and what a gesture to give him the car. These memories are priceless

Never click so fast!!!

Freddy is the reason why I use all my spare time on waching car rebuilding videos. been following you since the audi, and got hooked after the s5

Freddy giving you the engine is the Pinnacle of American car culture. I have seen two competitors share parts on the weekends at the drag strip. I have seen them put actual sweat equity into their opponents vehicles as well to get them back going and be able to have a good clean competition. Over here if you're a gearhead you're family.

Brilliant,brilliant video guys.Don’t normally like long videos but was totally engrossed in every second of this one & to give your dad the car at the end was totally amazing,he seems such a genuine,funny,down to earth guy & that’s before even mentioning the car which looks & sounds fantastic.Not that long been watching your channel but it’s fast becoming my favourite,you all seem such genuine people & seem to really enjoy what you do

Watched all the original videos but still had to watch all of this. Extremely interesting and learning a lot .

Love this channel. Hope you hugged your Dad and told him that he deserved it and you loved him when the camera stopped rolling. 100% Quality content. 💙

I’m not going to lie. His Dad rebuilding that transmission without schematics is low key AMAZING. When you were like “idk if anybody knows how this works” Your dad was smiling in the background like “I do!” 😂😂😂

A son that gives his dad a Ferrari is one of the greatest moments in life.

One of those RU-vidrs where you like the video before you even watch it

I would binge watch every 2 hours long episode if you made a series. You are so lovely Mat.

Love this build So much goodness Tavaris gifting the engine Matt gifting the completed car to his dad This is the way of the new world Sharing is caring Love how real everyone is and the genuine laughter had by all 🙏🚘❤

The ending gets me every time. Knew it was coming but still... Your Dad is the best, Your crew are the best, the editing is top notch, I feel like I known all you for years. By far my fav content creator on YT. Long may it continue.

Keep these videos coming Mat 🇿🇦

Such a good job of repairing that car and a truly beautiful gesture to give it to your dad. Well done Matt and crew.

Mat, my love of cars came from my dad, and it's obvious yours does, too. To see the shock on your dad's face when you gave him the Ferrari brought me so much happiness. You're a good dude, and a great son, and I'm so happy for both you and your dad. Keep it up, Mat.

Thx for 0 likes 😢😢 Edit: thx for 39 like 😕

GREAT VID, WATCHED IT ALL THE WAY THROUGH, and super finish when you gave your dad the car, fantastic gesture, .. I could feel him welling up inside, well done.

IDK how the hell you get me watching these videos that last several hours, but I watch many of them without ff through much of it. It is amazing how you have learned so much without a great deal of training. Cheers to you and happy for you that you get to work with your dad and give so much to him.

This actually made me tear up at the end. May you continue to be blessed in everything u do

Brilliant video! And what an ending giving that to your Dad! He was chuffed! Tell him he can drive through Earl Shilton anytime he wants! 😂

I watched this series as you made it but watching it all together today was like watching you fix the Ferrari in a day. Great series, keep it up. I love seeing the older cars bought back to life.

I dented my boot lid 6 months ago and got a new one 2 weeks after, it’s been sat ever since but I’ve spent all day binging your videos and they’ve got me off my arse and mended the bloody thing! You’re inspiring even the laziest of us!

I watched every video, you could say episode, that you posted from the very beginning on the main channel. It was a pleasure to watch it assembled in one piece. Sometimes things can't go smoothly in life, like you said two steps forward one step back. That won't stop you from fixing your Lamborghini. It is important that you do not miss anyone in your life. You have the best dad who raised you to be proud of you, we are proud of you. ❤ 🇷🇸

Unbelievable what you guys did! I studied cars engineering , worked as a mechanic for 6 years and I’m very impressed by your work.. very few people can get it right this way

So glad that I found this channel. This is the second build I have seen but because it was for your dad as a surprise, it makes it extra special. Can't wait til the next one.

Over & above the call of duty . Spectacular work on a mind blowing venture . My hats off to you ,dad & all who had a hand in competing the car

Awesome rebuild and your dad deserves this car he is such a big part in your videos . One of the reasons I love watching your channel is because of the constant banter and hope you and your dad have even when things go real bad ❤

I started watching this video last night, and before I knew it, it was midnight, and I still had an hour to finish it. Just finished. I absolutely loved this video, Mat. Congrats, all. Entertaining and inspirational. 🎉❤👍

Your dad’s face when you gave him the key, priceless. Amazing work the difference is unbelievable and what a sound it makes awesome

I watched this whole thing twice, love when you and your dad work together. watching from America. love what you guys do, keep it up.

I love this build. And love your attitude while building it! Not sure how I found this video and your channel but am super glad I did. I'm about 2 hours in so far and am thoroughly enjoying this documentary. Very well done!

Loved this video even before the end! Thanks for explaining everything so well.

Such a great saga! Every moment was worth it! Great job troubleshooting all the issues! !!!

I watched all these on release, and watched this entire video again. 3 hours of my life gone in what felt like 10 minutes. That's when you know you're watching quality stuff. Love these compilations Matt.

Absolutely brilliant video Mat, couldn’t stop watching it. You and your Dad are amazing and such a lovely gesture giving him the car. 😊

What a video Mat! Binged the whole thing this morning, what a build and you're dad is amazing. Inspirational stuff 👏

Thank you for uploading this as one video. So much better than multiple parts..

I knew someone who worked for this experience company. Said the owner never maintained the cars properly and everything was done on the cheap, so im not surprised how you found it. Inspiring work on getting it rebuilt... and those wheels. 🤩

Don't think I have ever watched a 3 hour video in my life with my full attention like I have with this video. Amazing story telling and editing thought the whole thing. The car being built from the scraps to sounding like a monster was awesome to watch and in the end gifting it to your dad was a really good ending. Big props guys.

Now I have seen it all before, but watching the full Video for 3 hours is still AWESOME and Yes it still brought a tear when you gave him the key at the end!! You Truly are a LEGEND MATT!!!!

@Mat Armstrong you're DA MAN! you're dad's reaction was priceless. God bless you and all you future endeavors brotha!!!!!!!!

This is the best and longest video I have watched from all your videos. U are a top-man, and very informative. Stay bless with your amazing team.

that was touching. its nice that you have such a good relationship with your dad. cherish it, there are quite a few people out there that dont have that or cant have that.

What an absolute legend, excellent work and an awesome video once again, the father and son bond doing what you guys do is amazing. Keep the brilliant videos coming you both certainly have something special 👌😊

I absolutely love this whole series, testament to your ethos of hard work beating talent. Kudos!

Great documentary of the rebuild, fantastic achievement. Well done to you, your dad and the team! It does sound great!

Matt, it was very nice to see you give the car to your dad. He seems to be a really cool dad, you guys Rock! I have a favorite car that I lost years ago and last I heard it was headed to the scrap. You all impressed me so much that I’m going to find it or one like it and do a rebuild with my son. I enjoy your channel. Thank you.

love that you gave this one to your pops, he work so hard on it and had so much fun doing so.
