Welcome to the Channel!
My aim is to see if I can create some decent content for you guys to watch.
In the process, see if I can have a bit of fun doing what i love and turn a profit on the vehicles I'll be fixing along the way.
Starting with a £1000 budget I will buy the first car, fix it, paint it, and prepare it for sale.
I have been involved in the car trade my whole working life and do everything myself.
I have a Car Bodyshop as my normal day to day business and will be working the channels cars in between customers vehicles.
I will be buying cars that are generally non-runners or damaged and maybe both, in need of some love.
Get them fixed, Painted, Valeted and Sold.
So... Let's get into it

Lovely little motor 👌
You made a cracking good job of that. Impressive. Does that have an AISIN gearbox similar to peugeot eat boxes. 🤔👍👍👍
@@Doug.... I've not paid any attention, but I would presume so as that gearbox was in all the R56 autos
Nice repair.
I wonder if it's been involved in a low level flood. That might explain the the green gunge in the harness pins.
Whilst I would agree, the 2 harnesses sit one above the other and it was the upper harness I had to repair, so if that was the case the then the lower one would have been completely shot, if that makes sense.
I want a cheap pathfinder need a big 7 seater to pull big caravan with me partner kids and dog is it for sale
@@StephenBroadbent-ll7qs I've already sold it.
Why did you decide to sell it?
@plasticrepair6163 I didn't like how it towed to be fair, I used to tow with a discovery and much preferred that. Plus I've come to realised that it's more cost effective to get the local companies to collect the cars for me for now.
Nice work, nice motor's too, I had the Navara, drove to the south of france in it, wonderful.
@essex__rider I ended up selling it, I used it to pick a car up with a trailer and didn't like how it towed. Plus realised that it's more cost effective to have the local guys collect them for me for now.
Meet job. Only just found your channel. I will be watching regularly from now on
Tidy job. I thought that white paint covered the grey on the door very well. I've not used basecaot and clearcoat, but back in the day I would have primed that door before splashing some white on it
I'm on water based paint, and don't often have issues.
What's the reason you spray with such a low fluid flow? It's not a criticism, just curious.
@theberengersniper I don't really have an answer to that question 🤣 I guess I just paint the way I paint, self taught painter.
Why repair a 100k miles mini they do do many more miles after that its a 700 quid car
@StephenBroadbent-ll7qs Bit negative, it sold for £1200. So was still a profit in it, all be it small. But a profit is a profit.
Loved the video, thanks!
We're did u buy the winch ?? How much ??👍👍
@Gary-cw8yp I got mine through MAC tools, however you can get the on Ebay and amazon now.
What a neat tool that winch puller is!
How's progress on the fiesta looking forward to seeing it finished
@plasticrepair6163 it's slowly getting bits done I've been filming a couple of other cars at the same time so I can start getting more content out, but the plan is to get that done over the next 2 weeks
No bother I know your busy nice wee mini turned out great I'm sure it's not easy filming while trying to work we appreciate your videos really down to earth content please keep them coming greetings from Ireland
First
@@brianhume4743 ?
Nice color
Nice job M 😊
You made that look simple! Well done. 👌
Really weird how that paint ended up looking like only the front door had been repainted in a darker shade.
@charliecoco2115 it happens from time to time, at least or was a straight forward fix 😅
Turned out fab , Have had this issue because I tend to paint replacement panels flat. No idea why though. Theirs me thinking they didnt do a good paint mix lol
Nice work, enjoyed that Thanks
Always lays down differently if panels are laid flat and off.i always blend on the car.this is what worried me about your van.
@deerawselecta7709 Given how long I've been painting cars it was a bit of a rookie mistake to be fair, that being said I don't often have colour matching issues.
Brilliant
Nice job you done there pal
@@carlsiddorn3340 Cheers
That would look nice in a satin copper paint, seen a few Caddy vans in that colour, it would make this stand out... Needs some 16's on it...!!
@jmaximus1uk the new video shows the colour.. ST Electric orange.. it had 16"s at the moment but I've sorted a set of 17" ST Alloys. Watch this space
Nice work buddy🙂
oh yes now you are talking, nice colour, looks fantastic
Lovely job class colour id say a right pain to paint st orange
looking good
Great colour. That clear coat really makes it pop 👍. What is the history of clear coat and what was used before if anything.
Love the colour, wonderful! Thanks for the video.
Love the colour,but I would have painted doors hatch and bonnet on the car.
Would you recommend 3 clear coats over 2?
@charliecoco2115 depends what your trying to achieve. And what clearcoat your using etc etc. Flow coating is just an easy way to get a nice flat finishing but it won't look factory, so I personally wouldn't do it on a normal repair job 👍
That clear coat made the van pop! Looks fantastic. 🧡
@@essex__rider it's gonna look stunning once it's all back together 👍
Couldnt u drop the sump and remove the head and remove the pistons and change the rings if the bores are ok
@@MegaReddevil71 that's the option I'm going to explore.
I done the same type repair on an Astra k last week. Painted all panels Friday in z22s fitted and polished today. Wing looks off to door so blowing in tomorrow 👍🏻🇬🇧
@@mikeyp1977 joys of being a bodyshop, sometimes ya get lucky 🤣
Nice repair. Lovely shiny paint job. 👍👍
Great job.
should look great cannot wait 🙂😄
funny enough, i may need to repaint mine soon... actually paint is really good just few stone chips thats bugging me ..... if your clear is ok would a wrap be cheaper... i costed it to 250 ish if you diy
@vasili1207 whilst I fully agree that wrapping it would probably be cheaper, I'm a painter and would rather have the quality of a paint finish that will last over vinyl. Personal preference I suppose 🤷♂️
Great colour choice
@salvagerenovations1703 Hopefully be a stunning looking van when I'm finished.
Nice one just saying from North of Newcastle 👍🍺
To me, it looks like a lot of faff to strip down and repaint in a different colour. Is there that much profit in doing it? Anyway, I'm liking this and think is there anything you could do with the rear side "windows" that could make it more "car like"?
@@essex__rider but that would take away from the fact it's a van
bruh what you want fake windows? could stick louves on it but they look gash
Will look awesome
Will look stunning
