Regardless, my point is that some KZreadrs buy great cars and make great content but Matt buys cars that in principle should have been melted and turned into sauce pans but instead gives them an unimaginably and stunning new lease of life.
I'm not a mechanic and have never watched anything like this, but it is addictive viewing! Roll over Netflix binge watching, I couldn't put this down and ended up watching all 8 parts. Much respect for the bravery in taking something like this on. Really excellent presentation and infectious enthusiasm . Not sure that spoiler is an improvement, but the rest looks great!

Hey man I just wanted to say I am not a mechanic nor a huge car guy and I am an older guy but I have to say the work you do is beautiful, your enthusiasm for your work is contagious and you really do make great videos. At times the amount you are paying for twisted wrecks is shocking but the final product you put out on the streets is just simply amazing. Very best wishes from Miami….
I've just had the absolute pleasure of watching the build from start to finish, all 8 episodes. The colour looks unreal, and the whole car just looks soooo good. I think this build has to be my favourite. Kudos to you, you've smashed it out of the park! Phenomenal car.
I've watched all of your builds & this one is by far my favorite... you basically re-manufactured this car from scratch from bare chassis.. and it turned out amazing, looks better than most porches i've seen on the road & I see alot of porches where I live... great job 🙌 you inspire me... keep up the good work
I love that you show the cost of the builds. I feel like alot of people stop doing it when there channel's get bigger. I'm glad you still show its really good to see
You’ve pulled it out the bag yet again Matt. Looks amazing and should be very proud of yourself and the team.. 🎉
Stunning transformation! Great colours, ride height, exhaust and attention to detail with the roof and the shut lines. Great build Mat & your energy, enthusiasm and optimism are extraordinary and best of all infectious!!
Mat, this Porsche Cayman rebuild has to one of your best looking projects to date. The transformation from a crash damaged/wrecked car to a stunning looking GT4 Cayman is next level. Loving the stunning new colour & the lowered stance with the new wheels. Absolutely brilliant! 👍🔥👍🔥
I am in awe of you Mat. You take big risks and put in so many hours and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for making such entertaining restorations of these cars I could only dream of affording. Absolute class guy 👏❤️
Man that colour looks incredible with the carbon accents and dark wheels. I wasn't sold on the wing, but I must say, with the car being lowered and sitting in it's final form, it's really grown on me.
This build is truly unreal , you are such a talented enthusiast . Great taste of colours and you don't stop at getting everything right ! Keep it up and can't wait for the next resto ! 👏
The editing on the reveal is soooo fire. crazy transformation
Wow this turned out so much better than my expectations. You really have a good eye for these builds. Respect 💯
Dude you have absolutely outdone yourself on this one... wheel and paint combo is spot on and that exhaust sounds awesome. My favourite car youve done to date. Great work matt.
Know very little about car mechanics but your stuff is compulsive viewing. The enthusiasm is infectious! I'm down in NZ so from the other side of the world, keep them coming.
Late to the party and also binge-watched.. Great series - far from tinkering on your drive with welding & paint job, but as always... the end result - absolutely incredible, well done!!! 😊
Man, I just found this channel and series this beautiful Sunday and enjoyed every episode so much. Finished part 6 and was sad, that I can't watch more. Refreshed your channel and part 7 is here. I'm beyond thankful :D Insane job Mat and friends!

One of the best restoration jobs on KZread... Awesome Job Mat! - You deserve every success, never lose your passion never lose your heart!
Have to say, when you first showed this car as a total wreck I thought no way he's going to be able to sort that out, but it's turned out the best car you've done so far. The body kit, colour and wheels look sick. Totally blown away by the reveal, what an amazing looking car, a real trash to treasure transformation.
This is actually incredible, this entire journey. To go from what it looked like, all the way to the finished product is absolutely mindblowing. Incredible work man, love your content!
Spectacular transformation, that is a stunning car. The decision to paint instead of wrap makes this build next level.
The amount of progress this guy can make in 3 months is crazy, love the car and can't wait to see the other projects finished!
The colour looks absolutly stunning! Well done Mat! When you painted it i was doubting the colour, but seeing it finished it just looks amazing! Great rebuild by you and the crew. Love it.
matt the work you put into the cars with a little help from your friends, is truly amazing, what a car.
Next level entertainment. One of the best channels on KZread for car restoration. Keep up the amazing work and thanks for taking us along for the ride.
Looks great! For the passenger air bag, I would check the fitting for continuity; it’s possible that the connector fused itself during the accident. A multimeter should give you an unification of if it’s still working properly or not. Worth checking
@benmoody2975

would never check any airbag system with a multimeter unless 100% disconnected! The easiest way to check is to fit a 3 ohm resistor instead of the airbag and see if the code deletes
So without the expensive paint, body kit and seats, and one or two more details, you could have had a completely rebuilt 718 S WITH an awesome exhaust and some more additional stuff that sounds like THAT for what... 30k?? Insane bro. Awesome build, awesome vids, and I respect the decision to go all out in the end because it was definitely worth it for how insanely sexy the car looks. Bravo.
I hope lots of people find inspiration through your rebuilds. You just dive in and figure it out. Really enjoyable to watch. Thank you!
What a car. When you were going for new wheels, I thought Oh No! not black again, but you've really aced it with those alloys, colour and style. And the RS front bumper and rear wing do set it off. Well done Matt. Great job
Absolutely smashed it out of the park with this one! I love the Aston and others but this!!! What a next level looking machine! Awesome! And….that cinematography work for the reveal, fantastic, taking the channel to the next level each time! 👊💪
this - is - mental! I really like the build and all the history behind. nobody sees the work it takes to rebuild and upgrade a car like this after it is finished - and that's a pity! because it not only takes time and money to come this far, it also takes "Herzblut" as we say here in Austria. btw - i really like your channel! I don't have much time watching youtube and stuff, but when I do I only pick quality stuff -- and your's is quality from my point of view as another car guy doing lots of work by myself. :)
Great energy as always Matt. You guys have smashed, the car rebuild along with the TV production perfectly complimented by your character are always great to watch. Pat on the backs for all of you guys 👍🏽
Amazing outcome Mat! Bodykit, colour, wheel etc 10/10. Each time you finish a project I go, thats my fav. This doesn't dissapoint.
That's a nice looking rebuild Mat. Hearty congratulations to you, team, and the myriad of great suppliers and vendors who support each and every project. And also, the car photo stills and videography are of an incredibly high standard too so a huge shout-out to the team of specialists involved! Warmest Regards - David from Melbourne Australia 🥸👌🍷🍷❤️❤️🦘
This build has been one of my favourites for sure. The whole transformation is mind blowing!! Would love a car like this. Great content as usual Matt keep smashing it 👍
Amazing work mat! You really are setting the bar now and your progress is crazy! 😁👌🏻
Dude! I watched this over 2 days on a business trip, and at part 4, 1am in the morning you had me thinking of how I could start doing this hahaha! Not gonna happen, but that's how much I enjoyed watching it until then end. New subscriber, look forward to the old and the new. Great work, I love Porsche and this was a job I thought wouldn't make it looking at the state of it in the beginning. Great content, great editing and the short parts are easy on the watching time. Thanks!
wirklich tolle arbeit. Größten respekt vor deinem technischen können und der liebe die du da rein steckst. Es macht echt spaß dir zu zu sehen. Für den preis, so ein tolles auto zu haben ist einfach der wahnsinn.
The Porsche turned out amazing, the colour definitely makes it pop from others and the whole build is amazing. One thing that would have been interesting too see is, if you were able to tint the red part of the taillights black. This is definitely one masterpiece of a build. Looks great!
Mat, that looks incredible, honestly. Well done to everyone who contributed to this build
Your taste in spec for all the cars is so sick. It’s literally everything I would want done to my cars. Props on this build and all the others. I look forward to seeing that murci though. Congratulations on all your recent successes, it’s well deserved. All the way from Arizona, cheers.
Mat! You and your crew have got to be making the best content on KZread. It’s absolutely awesome man. Love love love what you do, from the filming to the music to the builds to the best bit, you just being you. Hat off to you Sir 😊
What an absolute work of Art, looks stunning, Fixed up & Looks Sharpe. Well done Mat, you cease to amaze
You nailed it AGAIN Mat! One of the best builds of your channel. I thought the yellow would suck but it looks stunning, fascinating car!
Mat, you are so fun to watch! When you painted the Cayman yellow(ish), it brought back memories of my 1970 914-6 which was orange and black. I enjoyed it so much and wanted that sports car feeling back, so I bought it's best replacement, a Cayman S. The Cayman is the 914-6 done right. Thanks!
The Porsche was brought back to life and you guys went above ans beyond to make it justice, beautiful looking, sounding and just a gem to look at knowing the before and after.
That’s badass. Love the fact it’s painted and not wrapped. Wheels are killer.
Well done, Mat. This car restoration is a work of art. Really enjoy this series.
I’ve watched you from the very start matt!! And to see you doing this amazing is an absolute joy to see your an inspiration making me want to work on cars myself❤️love your work and love your videos!!
It looks awesome!!! Love the gt4 style look. I don’t think I could ever do the gt4 justice with my driving skills, so having a cayman S that kinda looks like a gt4 might be the perfect compromise, awesome looks, good driving and not too fast
Another masterpiece! Honestly Mat I love the kit, I love the new wheels and I adore the paint job and the colour! It looks amazing! Awesome work!!
This man just keeps absolutely smashing everything he does! This right here is proof to not give up on your Dreams!
£9500 for a paint job! OMG - It does look tremendous though! I'm not a huge Cayman fan but you have done an incredible job on this. Also loving the editing and soundtrack at the end. Cracking job all around Mat 👍
I'm a huge Porsche fan, absolutely loved this series - congratulations Mat. Incredible job.
Wow this thing looks stunning! The amount of work on this seemed unrealistic but what a result Mat! 😎
Well done guys. This was one of the best builds yet. I love everything that you have done to the Porsche. Awesome stuff.
The detail and work needed to get this going Mat, one of those baffling ones, i never thought you could ever repair all of that, getting that roof off, jeez, to sorting the radiators and getting the inside right too, that troublesome left hand side as well, more a headache, but the end result. wowsers. Lot of work but by god what a result.
Loved this transformation mate, well done! You really love and respect the cars you rebuild. My dad had a turbo s 944 and I still to this day remember the sound of the engine made me crazy when he stepped on the pedal.
Your best one yet. Looks amazing. The work you put in with absolutely no fear is credit to you. Well done 👏
Absolutely beautiful looking car, the reveal with fallen leaves was superb! Amazing job Mat, the 635CSI is going to be so spectacular too. ✌️
Great journey to get to this point, got to love Caymans. I had a Mk1 picked up from Silverstone Porsche as a surprise for my 40th leased for 3 years. One of the hardest things I had to do in my life was hand the keys back The Car looks fantastic awesome work loved watching you rebuild and bring back to life
Absolutely gorgeous! Matt love your work, your humour and your cars.. Keep up the good work oh, and it was great to meet you at the Gravity event earlier this year..
When I look to that color, I immediately think about a cheeseburger with ketchup.

Awesome job as always Matt, in all aspects. Excellent restoration, maybe the best thus far. Next, can't wait for the Murciélago to be done. You definitely deserve 1 million subscribers by now.
Amazing build! Loved watching the progress you made with the cayman! Its a beautiful car!
Ah, wish I could afford to buy even a broken porshe. Amazing content as always, you are true inspiration, made my day!!!
This looks amazing, it came together so well 👍 loving the new directing/videography too, keep up the good work, can't wait for more
Your CAYMAN is a full success. A lot of work but the result is breath taking. You have made the good choices all along the restoration. Wonderfull wheels and the best suspension we can imagine (BILSTEIN) . This car is much better now that the car of the stock from PORSCHE. It is more than a CAYMAN S. Congratulations.
Have followed a few of your cars now from start to finish and this one has to be the best looking soo far - just stunning! Great work on the restoration AND upgrade... 🤩
From when we got to vote on what Mat should get next, to the Porsche being complete.. Thank you for an awesome journey Mat 👌
Superb build and the quality keeps going up, it's great to be on a journey with you mat, cheers mate.
Nice work Mat..I loved this and all your Builds..I popped my Achilles 2 months ago, so ive been pretty much housebound..you and the team defo helped me through a tough time.
Really amazing! A real peace of art. Also i love the music you play in you're video's. It really gives that artistic vibe of the cars you rebuild. Really good!
That back box is a work of art 👍
As stunning as I'd hoped it would be! Smashed it again Mat and what an amazing collection you have now. Looking forward to the next one as always.
Looks bloody amazing, color, wheels, interior, plus the extras! 😍 Great job mate 👌🏾
absolutley clinical! amazing restoration! not too keen about that huge spoiler, i think the standard would have been enough, but I just dig the paint, the wheels and the front. amazing work!
This car was a great buy! Great video as always, can’t wait for the next! 😃
Absolutely sick it looks awesome Matt what a job you have done 👍
I love the contrast between the paint and the black trim. A job very well done 👏
that is so amazing ! I think it's very instructional and baffling at the same time to be able to fix these cars and have an incredible end result! well done!
The result is outrageous! What an epic episode. Loved every second as always l. So happy for you mate. You nailed it 💪⚡️
Lots of things that was not accounted for on the tiny blackboard 1- New Suspension, shock absorbers, lower arms, drop links 2- New Alloys 3- Cost of tracking and allignment 4- Cost getting it VOSA MOT to be certified back on the road 5- Service parts, spark plugs, oil filter, air filter and oil 6- How many hours did you actually spend putting to all back together? The videos are inspiring when you have KZread money and T-Shirt sales to surrport you. But the average man getting involved to do this will be in negative value once its built. Hence why you was the only one bidding on it. The car was good for parts only. As if you had factored all the above and labour rates and mates helping you out too can add another £10k easily. But great videos Matt really enjoyed the rebuilds. But anyone thinking to getting involved and doing it needs to know the numbers. After it's built it's then a CAT N car. Very hard to sell on!! As Porsche customers are throst fussiest customers in the world. Customers have been known to walk away from a deal if 1 service stamp is missing. Would be more credible if you accounted for every item cost spent. Including rent, rates, electric, fuel, Insurance etc etc etc
Well sir, I'd certainly tick the Mat Armstrong package on mine! This rebuild is the best thing to ever happen to this Cayman S. Blown away!
Binged this rebuild and wow what a superb job Mat&Co !!! I thought you’d see sense and pull the plug early on, but so glad you didn’t. That cayman is siiiick bro!!!!!
I have to say Matthew that’s got to be one of the best cars you have done !! Not too over the top , colour is amazing . Well done on your restraint on this one ❤
The car look beautiful love the colour it pops so nice ❤
Epic build. Perfect color, perfect mods. I always liked Caymans, they are the only car you will ever need. And this one looks simply perfect. Great content Mat, fav channel by far from KZread.
Mat this build is insane!!
Awesome build Matt! One of the best looking caymans out there! 😍💛
