Of course it’s repairable—this is Mat Armstrong. He can fix anything, despite often admitting he’s not an expert at repairing vehicles. But in the end, he always gets the job done, come rain or shine. In his latest YouTube upload, Armstrong purchases a heavily crash-damaged 2013 Ferrari 458 Spider for £55,000 and spends a further £23,000 on mostly used parts bought off eBay.

A used 2013 Ferrari 458 Spider typically costs around £164,000 in the UK. Crash-damaged examples usually sell for about 20 percent less than non-accident-damaged cars, meaning Armstrong is still up by around £58,000. His goal is to repair the Ferrari in just seven days. However, when you factor in production costs for filming, editing, uploading to YouTube, along with employee wages and other overheads, Armstrong will probably end up making about £35,000–£40,000.

We know Armstrong will repair the Ferrari, but it’s the journey that provides the real fascination. For example, as he dismantles the car, he discovers that Ferrari uses spacers to align the doors, bonnet, and bumpers—a very old-school method of assembly that feels outdated, especially for a 2013 model.

Even more surprising, Ferrari’s welding is abysmal—not what you’d expect from a company renowned for its engineering. As Armstrong shows, the build quality isn’t held to the highest production standards one would expect from such an exclusive brand.
