Mat Armstrong takes on the daunting task of resurrecting a McLaren 720s in this riveting video. Braving the unknown, he purchased the car without knowing its history, only to discover that the carbon tub was in shambles. Undeterred, he embarked on a mission to rebuild the car from the ground up, just like the skilled craftsmen at McLaren themselves.
But just when he thought he had triumphed over adversity, disaster struck. The car began to emit smoke without any logical explanation. With secondhand engines costing a fortune, Mat hoped that the issue wasn't too serious. Fortunately, he soon discovered that the culprit was an overfilled oil tank, causing the excess oil to find its way into the exhaust. A simple mistake with significant consequences.
However, the road to redemption was not without its challenges. Mat faced a suspension fault that prevented him from checking the oil level. Undeterred, he decided to replace the suspension entirely, opting for new parts from McLaren. With the new suspension in place, the smoking issue seemed to be resolved, bringing a sense of relief to Mat's heart.
As he delved deeper into the restoration process, Mat encountered various obstacles, from electronic handbrake malfunctions to mismatched drop links. But with his determination and resourcefulness, he managed to overcome each hurdle, piece by piece, bringing the car closer to its former glory.
Finally, after countless hours of hard work, the moment of truth arrived. Mat successfully got the car running and driving, a remarkable achievement considering its previous state of disrepair. While the journey is not yet complete, with body panels still in need of painting, Mat's progress is undeniably impressive. Will he prove Richard Hammond wrong and have the car road-ready by Christmas? Only time will tell. But one thing is for certain: Mat Armstrong's dedication and passion for the McLaren 720s restoration is truly commendable.
