I bought my girlfriend this wrecked Audi RS5 B8 4.2 V8 from auction with intentions to fix it. Normally when buying a car from the salvage auction they tend to be delivered in alot worse condition than the photos make out, but this Audi RS5 didnt seem to be too bad. We received 2 cars and full service history & the damage seem to be minor for a category S car. But today i begin the full repairs in hope to get it back on the road.

Actually think your gonne be the best car enthusiast on KZread, taking over the industry of buying, fixing and possibly selling!, love the work your inspiring. That lambo is doing bits 👌💯💯💯

Quality video as always Mat. Can’t wait to see how this one turns out
Can't explain it but I get so happy when you upload Mat, thanks for staying consistent!
Brand-new second hand parts is a proper oxymoron MA
I just discovered your series. Brilliant production and high energy with the sophistication of classical music that enhances and doesn't clash with the content. I thoroughly enjoyed this!
My favourite part of my day while looking after my wife who has long term illness is watching your videos cheers me up thank you
Such a nice thing to do matt offering help to the injured person ❤️ we'd love long videos we don't get annoyed with your voice we love watching your videos keep up great content

With Audi suspension arms you need to make sure your pre load the suspension before torquing anything up tight, otherwise the bushings tear really quickly.
Honestly this is the best channel about cars.I am actually really enjoying watching the process of fixing those cars.GOOD JOB MAT KEEP GOING. My favourite build is the 1 series with the M2 bumpers
You definitely Need longer videos as your content is actually amazing to watch, watching few mins is like a big cliffhanger wanting to know more of the story. Congrats on Lambo it’s a mean machine…
Really looking forward to this build, keep up the great videos. Love the gesture for the injured spectator, show what a genuinely top bloke you are.
Another great video Matt. Amazing how you've just picked this up instead of being a trained mechanic. Your work is spot on.
Great video as always! The work your doing is bang on, not many people can argue as I couldn't imagine them doing it their self. I live 2 seconds from mfn so I've been going since I was a child about 18 years ago. It's always been a brilliant place to go on a Sunday night and used to alws take my cars there. Unfortunately they have always sent it down the straight which it is a bit of fun. But standard of driving has dropped over the last few years and unfortunately this isn't the first accident that's happened along that strip from folk showing off. Hopefully it doesn't put you off going to the place and get to see you there sometime. Keep up the good work. 👌
I'm so honoured to be part of your viewers man I mean seriously you make this job look easy. Another amazing video my man well done
MFN will never change. Drivers thinking they can drive like a pro driver and putting people lives at risk. Hope the person will make a full recovery and very lucky only one people got hurt and not killed. Take care and drive safe. Glad the audi is coming along too.
im really loving your content keep up the hard work
I love the way you tackle your jobs. Brilliantly done.
this young man is amazing he can do it anything
I love your shows, each one a journey of learning and anxiety as you swap parts out to see if it solves the issue at hand. Keep going Mat, think of the brownie points with Hannah when she gets her car finally.
Absolutely killing it mat! Keep up the great work!!
Drove past your garage after visiting Mallory park for a track day and that 140i/M2 hybrid is popping with the new wrap 🤩 love the content !
This is therapy, I love this.
You’ve idea how much i look forward to these videos. Absolutely buzzing for this RS5. Hope you raffle it 🤞
Love this channel Matt! …nice touch to have classical music as background music…defo not all channels have your class mate!
Love your vids! The "just do it and see what happens" style is the best! Keep it up
Instead of black electrical tape you have to start using proper certoplast for that wiring. Electrical tape is really not meant to last in and around engine components and exposed to the elements. Check out certoplast Mat, please for the love of doing it semi-properly atleast. 1 love
Fav channel on KZread keep it up,keeps me sane !
Looking at the wing rail damage the lower section could have been straightened out after the top section was removed. As I've welded Audi ali bodyshells, trying to plug weld ali is a real challenge, knowing the correct filler wire is also an issue, joints can look welded, but will crack if not done correctly.. Good content though Mat, I like your give it a go attitude.👍👍
Top notch "body fillering" that matt 🤣 always a pleasure to watch you do your thing, I'm sure Hannah is gonna be well chuffed when it's all done 😁😎
great work!! maybe this is a tip for sealing your wiring "Tesa Fleece Tape" its much better for taping up youre wiring It doesn't get "stiff" over time, and looks better..
Nice Music selection @14:40. Jolly good MatA, keep on keeping on
You never cease to amaze me your talents are endless ,keep up the good work Matt
How I wish it was a 3 hours series😁 keep up the good work🤜🤛
Great vid Mat. And nice job on the bumper . Love the way you just give anything and everything a go! Brilliant…keep up the great work . 👍👍
Totally agree with the bolt on the lower control arm 4:12 !! I have an a4 b8 and came across the exact same problem when I replaced them and ended flipping the bolt to the other side just like Mat did 😂. Sometimes engineers do weird choices 🤷
Really kind from you asking for help for the hurt person! Respect 🙏
Love your enthusiasm and Can-Do attitude.
You’re turning out some quality content Matt. Love the channel 👍👍
What a journey you've been on Mat! Legendary!!!
Hey bro Nicardo here over here in Jamaica I love your videos I have been following your rebuild on cars for some time and as a Automotive Technician I enjoy you work bless up!
And!!! Switching to classical music!! Never a dull moment on this channel👍🏻🔥🔥🔥
Your honesty speaks volumes Matt 👍👍👍
Hi Mat, really good repair content on this video buddy! Sorry that someone got injured during that meet and I hope they are on the mend. Best wishes to you and Hannah, keep up the good work! 😊👍💪
dude, well done on that bumper! full send, and came out proper 👌 love your work!
Loved this video loads more information and work done and loads of things learnt from video
great video : ) cant wait to see both of your reactions on the final project on RS5!
Love watching the channel, really wish you could do daily uploads. Love nothing more than chilling with a beer and watching your progress.
Hope whomever got runned over it's doing okay. 😔 Keep us posted on his/her recovery. 👌 Not too shabby with that back bumper Mat. 👍
Lol at Derbyshire police's comments "“However, a small percentage of those attending these meets have no real interest in expanding their knowledge of motors or networking with other owners, instead choosing the "Send It" mentality." So true, eh? PS I lived on the Nottinghamshire side of the lane.
Great video mat, always look forward to a new upload 👍🏻
I like Mark and his use of safety squints when drilling out the spot welds!!😂😂😂

Amazing work you put in on that Audi! Fantastic!
I really wanted to keep watching.. wouldn't mind watching a full hour or 2 video of this! Looking great so far 👌 👍 can't wait for the next video
one of the best videos you have made like how you talked through what you was doing step by step like the repair on back bumper little tip for you if you do a similar job plastic welder fantastic but left some gaps so you fiber glassed it yes ok but heres the tip cut a strip of bumper about the length of a welding rod and use it with soldering iron and plastic weld the gaps saves having to fiber glass process keep it up MAT
18:45. The most expensive thing in this video. 😂😂😂😂😂. I have been on a waitlist since January
That patch work on the rear bumper is spot on! You honestly don't give yourself enough credit!
Love your enthusiasm🌀
Absolutely fair play to you for reaching out to the injured party of that crash. Proper gent !!!
Hi Matt. I believe that I've heard that the bolt is in that way to avoid the threads damaging the boot of the inner track rod. Check that the bolt is not touching it 🤞😉

Mat, that was some bit of work on the rear bumper. Massive Kudos.
Great shout out for you wanting too help the person out that got injured Respect 👊
It’s mad to think you do this all yourself bro absolute legend. 💪😎
Loving the music choice in this video mate👍🏻
"Brand new second hand parts", bit like saying I've got some piping hot freezing cold ice cream. Another great vid!
Matt, after you've used the fillers , go over with Holts Knifing stopper which is a very smooth and easy to use finish . You just wipe it over and it self sets to get rid of all rubbing scratches etc
We’ve all done wiring like that, but get a cordless iron for xmas 😉. The rear bumper though is brilliant!!
Legend Mate….You give all the inspiration one could ask for …..I only need the money to do some projects like yours …Top work Matt
Fair play to you Mat as you will take on any job. Also at this rate you will have to get a bigger unit as the car collection is growing.
I missed MFN even though it’s less than 2 minutes from our house and the Gallardo made an appearance. Absolutely gutted!
Bloody love these videos!!
Matt. I'd like you to know how much you have inspired me to sit down with a cup of tea when I get your vid notification 😏 seriously really love the content and your enthusiasm. Keep it up 👍
Once again a great video keep up the good work.
lol Matt, Hannah should be doing the grafting on this build, as it her car. Make yourself a cuppa and take a seat!
Great content as always mate. I really love your courage and hey look at how well it's paying off 😎
you should get every car you have worked on this channel on those white walls... a hall of MA fame/memories. in the image as that benty from SQ/Space ad. epic video as always too Matt!
Come on matt don't leave us hanging here we've all been waiting for this video, its not boring lol
Great bodywork on the rear bumper! Clever to use just the small cut out portion of the donor bumper.
Keep up the work Matt ur such a lovely guy
Finally, I've been refreshing for ages haha
Mat your such a kind heart
Mat. Awesome video and editing. The music was a great mix. As a RS5 owner it pained me to replace tyres.... So damn expensive. But what a car. Understated beast. Hannah will love it.
