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.

Right... this video hit me pretty hard. I worked hard and saved for over 4 years to fulfil my father's dream. A convertible Mustang in wine red. But unfortunately he didn't survive his heart attack. Half a year longer and I could have fulfilled his dream. Spend time with your parents, it can be over quickly!

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.

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!

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.

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.

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!

Took me moving away (far away) for us to realize that it was no way for us to be . But now , we’re allll good I’d be lost without the few words I get from him a month. And for that I am sorry to hear there are people out there in your shoes. But I’m super happy to see you’ve made it against all odds

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. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

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

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 ❤

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

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.

Absolutely LOVED this! Matt needs his own TV show!

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. ❤

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...✌️

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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!

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.

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.

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

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

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

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 KZread

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

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

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 👊🏽

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.

One of those KZreadrs where you like the video before you even watch it

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

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 👍

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

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.

Dude, I'm late because of you... actually because your dad, he´s the one to blame for missiing that part of the engine LOL. Thank you so much for the entertaintment, I did pass half of the video thinking how I was not going into tears about your father-son connection, but at the end....I couldn't resist any longer. It's amazing how a senior folk enlights himself when he is trully happy. for moments he was a child again and you must be so proud for giving him that. Brilliant job though, a trully mechanic always finds out a way to overcome his problems. I did work with my dad, we were mechanics in the rural/construction area (CASE, MASSEY FERGUSON, Etc) and I'm only mentioning this because all gerabox that we did repair act exact same way that one. The inertia keeps it going even when it's not in gear. When its mounted and on the floor it can't overcome the weigth and its not noticeable. Also you did the best choice to set the right pignion-crown set because as my knowledge goes they really are a kit, they're build for working togheter. I've build so many engines and gearboxes one for two broken ones I did forget, that's the way you know what you're doing. Congrats|

Your Dad is always smiling, such a joy just to watch you two together. Great job!

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. 💙

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

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!” 😂😂😂

Tony's such a humble and beautiful human being, when Mat said "this is yours" I had a little tear in my eye because of Tony's expression. Good on ya Mat, seeing you work with your old man is brill. I see where you get your humanity from, such a great family ☺️

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. ❤ 🇷🇸

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

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

It’s great what you all do, and the best bit was in the last minute or two when you passed the key to your dad and said ‘…this is your Ferrari’ and he said ‘no it ain’t’ with the biggest happiest smile ever. Just brilliant.

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.

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.

I was aware of Mat but this is the first build I've fully watched and I gotta say it's by far the best car rebuild content on KZread

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.

You made me proper love the 430 after this video!!! Giving it to your dad was the icing on the cake!!! Congratulations on rebuilding this beauty!!!!

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 🙏🚘❤

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 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.

In tears at the end, your dad is so great and happy all the time, he deserves that car and more

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. 🎉❤👍

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.

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!

This is one of the most entertaining videos I’ve had the pleasure of viewing. I wish I had that relationship with my dad. You guys made me feel as if I were there. The humor was so natural. I’m a fan now. Great job!

Impressive! Very good video editing, really interesting to see the rebuild of the engine and gearbox. Nice to see the troubleshooting experience and how you diagnose! Good job and really great spirit with your teams positive attitude and constant laughter!

I really enjoyed watching this from the start. WOW what a nice car! Lots of ups and downs, but the end result, is simply Awesome! My favorite part is when you handed the key to your dad. Very cool!

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 most of the rebuild throughout the series. but ive gotta say, i love the full build at once videos like this. i never did see it with the 20s, i think it looks so much better. perfect stance and ride height. great job man. and i found it very touching that you gave the car to your dad. that is awesome. keep up the great work man.

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

I cannot actually believed I sat down and watched the whole 2hours 53min video and end up tearing up at the end, this content is bliss!!

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