Alex from Leeds England. Join my journey as I pursue my love of both working on / modifying and driving all kinds of cars. WE WILL digress along the way for some fun and chaos of all kinds and hopefully some crazy unexpected surprises.

Looks like you do a cracking job painting, I can’t remember what video it was in but you mentioned where you get your paint from. Also what’s your steps/process to making it look this good when doing it at home without booth etc? Great series and nice to see jobs done properly 👍🏻
I'm having trouble with my 2020 L1 H1 90,000 amber adblue light and engine amber light saying engine will stop in 456 miles enyone out there can help thanks
You can get the ad blue removed by getting an ecu map. I had to do this with my other van as the system was faulty.
@Gibboplay thank you iv had to drop it of at ford bradford and there asked me did I put the adblue in on a hill and yes I did not too hilly in drive way so now waiting to ring me bank to see if there's enough funds in or will after remortgage House carnt stop us laffin thanks @Gibboplay for replying I'm converting to campervan got outside done just waiting for ford coming back to how much they wont for sorting then get on with it for next year fingers crossed 🤞
very good tuning ford transit custom🙂🤗👍
wow gutting, Fair play for carrying on, I'm exactly the same, I don't know when to quit, You go above and beyond so the cars look their absolute best, but sometimes you need to learn to know when to stop unless you've got deep pockets, I've learned the hard way wasting money trying to complete a project only to find out I've wasted 6k and the cars worth more in parts. Good luck with this build you're doing way more than many experts, welding, and painting, I love to learn all that so good on you!
Cheers mate. It is a risk but I’m stubborn 🤣 To be honest the S3 hasn’t cost loads to fix it’s just been very labour intensive. I’ve enjoyed trying to fix it and hopefully a few people can enjoy watching it come together. Thanks for watching 😊
Is the s3 for sale ?
Not just yet. It’s going for MOT hopefully next week. I want to put a few miles on it just to make sure it’s all ok before it goes up for sale.
@Gibboplay okay , thanks for your reply , when it goes up for sale what platforms will it be uploaded to
Light work mate 💙 nice to see someone with some knowledge other than myself 🤣🤣🤥 I’m bringing my caddy to you for a belt change!!
🤣 any time.
I’m a new subscriber and I am very impressed with the quality of these videos. I’m also on a similar journey away from IT and getting back into my passion for fixing cars and sometimes you see a lot of the bigger well known UA-camrs do these really unrealistic builds where is actually the best part of fixing cars is the unloved ones where it should really go to a scrapyard but we think let’s give it one more go! Since I have stopped letting UA-cam recommend me the bigger UA-camrs I’m finding a lot more relatable content with content creators such as yourself so keep doing what you’re doing as it is inspiring.
Thanks for sharing this. I get way too passionate about getting these projects done. Once it’s started it has to be finished. It’s extremely satisfying when it comes together though. Thanks for watching and good luck with your future projects.
Top work, keep it up !
Thanks, will do! 😊
"I wanted something with a Level of Mechanical Damage" So he bought a car which had spun a bearing!! Alex Gibson you must be a "gluten for punishment" buying a car with bottom end "banging like Mad".... BUT that is why I love watching you work on these cars and the level of explanation of what you are doing and why. Looks like we are going to see "a guide for a BMW (B47 I think) Diesel Bottom End Rebuild" ... Hopefully the crank and case are in reasonable condition.
🤣 yeah I like a challenge. B47 yes it is. I’m sure it can be fixed one way or another. It’s my mission this week if the snow holds off.
Nice work Mate you have sent some graft into the s3 hey, hope you turn a profit!
Fingers crossed! It’s actually not cost much in parts. Just massive amounts of time but it’s all good. I’ve enjoyed saving its life. 🤣
Hi, I've got a 2020 ford transit custom and I would like the original ford sign change and the fornt lower sport skirt installed. Do you take on those type of jobs? and where are you at?
Hi. My apologies I’ve missed this message. Unfortunately it’s not my profession. This is my work van that I’ve made changes on. Thanks for watching. 😊
@Gibboplay thank u
Seriously cool car that
Cheers mate. It’s a bit of a handful to drive though 🤣
Well in man, totally transformed and brought back from the brink 🥳👍
Thanks mate. 😊
What a talent you have gibbo! The attention to detail and the end results of these cars you are working your magic on is amazing! Love watching your videos!
Cheers Shane. I do get a bit carried away with the cars! 🤣 Glad you like the videos mate.
Good job on the car. But those wheels, where did you get them and how much?
After market Audi RS7 alloys. They came with the car so not sure where they came from. Thanks for watching.
@@Gibboplay thanks for that, after a quick look i think I found them, are they 20in by any chance? 600£ will they fit my A3 2.0tfsi? Iv got 18in on all ready
The ones on the S3 are 19s . I’d be careful with offsets etc as they might rub. A decent alloy wheel shop would be able to advise on this. I’m no expert on these things my friend. Hope this helps.
Looking good im intrigued how much that has cost no and over budget 😂
Yeah it’s not been that cheap 🤣 Once it’s got an MOT I’ll reveal the cost of it all. Car was cheap though so not too bad really.
Nice one had to hit subscribe after all that hard work nice car Not keen on the wheels but just personal preference 😂
Wheels are getting mixed feeling from people. They probably wouldn’t be my first choice but came with the car. They look lovely in person now they’re diamond cut like new. Cheers for watching.
Awesom toy
Cheers. Yeah it’s a lot of fun.
Hats of to this guy you definitely gained a subscriber here lad
Thanks. Glad you enjoyed the build.
Looks great. Love the wheels. Top job 👏
Thanks 👍
Was wondering where you'd got to as you hadn't released a video recently but well worth the wait 👌. Many would have just given up after the fire but not you. Car looks mint now. Bravo 👏
Hope you enjoyed it! It was a very difficult project this one but I actually really like the car now. Thanks.
It looks immaculate well done 👏
Thank you! 😊
Well done mate, great patience and the end result is amazing
Yeah it took patience mate. Lots of it 🤣 Thanks.
Thats a v cool S3.... im not a fan of white usually but them green accents make it The Mint Aero bar S3
🤣 you’ve definitely just named the car! Love it.
Brilliant video Gibbo 💪🏼💪🏼
Cheers mate. Got there in the end 🤣
Superb job. Well done.
Thank you.
Hey, got in early, lets go :D !
😊 thanks for watching.
I feel like I have been waiting Months for this video to drop!!
🤣 sorry about that. Feels like I’ve been working on it for ever!!
@@Gibboplay Only Messing... Car looks great; Well Done
Do you have a link for the splitter?

Can’t believe you made this is so cool
Cheers mate
Whats the latest on the audi? Did you manage to sell it? What's next?
Audi is getting worked on again this week. Had a few issues with it. I’ll explain in the video.
@Gibboplay look forward to it. Keep up the good work 👏
Cheers mate … put it in my black book for when I get my Transit. Still searching for a good en.
Whens the nexr videos ?
Having a bit of trouble with the S3 not recognising the key so that’s on hold for a bit. Decided to do some work on the S2000 so should have another video this week hopefully. Work gets in my way 🤣
Thanks for the reply and great video can't wait for the new ones
Who’s ya mapping guy mate ?
He’s a friends brother. Torque titans is his business. Comes out to you and puts a map on. Well worth it.
Look really fun and I need another Single seater fix.
It’s an amazing day.
When the next video bro 💪🏻🙌🏻🫶🏻
The car is ready but I’ve been working away on my day job so not had time to edit. Mid next week all being well.
Did you learn your self everything about cars mate ?
Mate. If you are passionate about something you will remember how it works. Start small. UA-cam videos can tell you 90% of what it takes to work on most cars. That’s how I learn. Research and practice is honestly how anyone learns. Oh and you need to enjoy it.
It dusnt look like you skrimp atall man I like your style
Thanks 🙏
A swear I just spent the day watching all ya videos bro 😎 your good at this man
I appreciate that. Really thanks for watching.
A swear I just spent the day watching all ya videos bro 😎 your good at this man
Keep it build a monster 🫶🏻
Not scrimping one bit on these builds I just binged all ya videos bro 🫶🏻💪🏻
Nice that nice bro like how u don’t try stretch every car into 12 vidoes each bro respect
Could you put the prices What you spent and made and what’s in the pot and what not bud
100% I will. Just can’t do that every video as the projects overlap
Did you tell a fib ? You can already fix cars bro 😂
I understand cars. Fixing them is a different story mate.
@@Gibboplay I’m 35 can’t fix them atall sick of paying people. Duno where to start lol I’m a good car cleaner that’s about it 😂
You should do a tally mark at the end of the cost and profits bro ? Would make the video more knowledgeable for people like me who can’t fix and want to fix cars
It’s difficult as I can’t immediately sell the cars so they overlap. I’m going to dedicate Mabe every 4 or 5 videos to explaining the cost, profit etc. sorry it’s not more transparent but honestly I have no idea most of the time what’s been spent. 🤣
@@Gibboplay dusnt look like you scrimp or cut corners bro I like your style
Minted great job mate
Thanks. This was a challenge!!
They wheels are mint bro
Hope I showed how I did it well enough.
@@Gibboplay looked amzing bro
Don’t you know mechanics ? I don’t fed up paying to have mine fixed
My friend I do understand mechanics but my company is in the building trade. I genuinely am learning all I show you as I go. I’m trying to be completely honest with the mistakes I make too. 🤦🏼♂️ there is a few belters! 🤣 thanks for watching.
