I'm sure u already got it fixed 👍
🤣 i have mate. It’s almost back together.
@@Gibboplay good good 👍
Least you was still with the car and not popping to the shops could have been alot worse.no interior new quarter panel and loom you will be sorted 👍
O shit 😮😮😮😮
That’s what I said! But a few more swear words 🤣
Keep up the good work mate and keep plodding forward. Will be a nice motor when it's finished 🤙
Yeah I’ve always wanted one. I’ll appreciate this one once it’s bankrupt me! 🤣 Thanks for watching.
Brutal man, total nightmare. You and the S3 will rise from the ashes 💪😎
🤣🤣 100% mate. It’s more of a challenge now. Even better.
Sorry that happened you was doing so well and hope you carry on.
Thanks mate. I definitely will carry this project on. Starting to like this car. It’s trouble 🤣
The main thing is you and your family are safe and it can be fixed it could of happened to anyone mate keep up the good work 👍
I’ll be adopting a very different approach next time I get the welder out. Scary stuff losing control of a situation like that. Appreciate the msg and thanks for watching.
The previous owner was cheap cheap cheap cheap. Shame about the car as well 😢
Defo mate. It’s a shame. I’ll fix it. Thanks for watching.
Unlucky mate but the main thing is nobody got hurt. All that foam is a nightmare for this kind of thing. Sure you'll get it sorted one way or another!
So true. I did think it was going to get totally out of control at one point. Got lucky really. Thanks.
great job mate, keep your chin up, it’ll be worth it 👍🏻👍🏻
It’s made me work harder on it mate. It’s a Challenge 😉
Gutted for you pal really enjoyed the series so far you do a great job on all the cars keep up the hard work
Thanks mate. Glad you enjoy the content. I’ll get it sorted. 😊
Sorry to see that Bro but I'm sure you will do an amazing Job bro keep it up
Thanks mate. I’m going to try 😉
Its best to make the mistakes now rather then on the supercar!
100% agreed. It’s not a mistake I ever want to make again. More planning and safety in the future.
Get yourself a mini fire extinguisher and leave it in the garage mate. Im sure the car will look fantastic when you're finished
Daft thing was that I have one in the Honda but in a panic you don’t stop to think. Just a learning curve I suppose. Thanks for watching.
Great videos, please keep them coming. Might just be me but I find it a little difficult to hear you over the music sometimes. You’re a brave man to take on the projects you do.
Yeah the sound levels are something I struggle with when editing. It’s a nightmare 🤣🤦🏼♂️ thanks for watching.
Sorry to hear this, but that's life mate. Shit happens and you will develop new skills to cope. You will be even more proud when it's done. Keep up the good work
Yeah it’s been really testing me trying to fix this damage. What’s so annoying is it was the very last little plate that caused it. Getting it back together now though. Thanks.
@@Gibboplay if it's any consolation, the welding did look good!!
Wow bro sorry 😞 I do feel your pain!! Keep your head up mate. You will only build something better and learn more skills
Cheers mate. Yeah what a balls up! Proper damaged it. I’ll sort it 😉
@@Gibboplay don’t worry bro, you’ll do something amazing with her ❤
Now then bud, came across your channel this week, really impressed how you can turn cars into something brilliant. I always wished I had gone into the bodywork game. Good to see a good You Tuber local to myself also... Keep up the good work.
Thanks mate. There’s a lot of satisfaction bringing these cars back to life. I’m learning loads along the way and making some silly mistakes. Next video is a bit of a disaster video so keep your eye out for it. Thanks for watching.
How much was your garage sun Room less labour as im a chippy
Not sure off the top of my head mate. I built it 7 years ago and now have a company selling them. Shackhouse company Ltd.
@Gibboplay nice looks realy good well done 👏
That's some garage and garden room you've got there mate 👍
Thought the same wonder what it cost to biold I'm materials
Thanks 👍 this is my business.
Ladder Trick Is Clever and Amazing!
🤣 thanks. It worked great.
when searching for cars on copart, are they recorded or do you just look for low mileage unrecorded popular cars? fantastic work again, well done.
Copart sells all kinds of cars. The fiesta wasn’t a crash damaged car so has a clean history. It just had a hard life! 🤣 Still it can be really risky but I like the challenge. Thanks for watching.
Hi, you are doing a great job, you mentioned in a few vids you order the pre mixed paint in? where do you recommend? What compressor and PSI have you found works best for clear coat, look great.
Hi. I’ve been using a company called Marlow paint supplies. They do a paint called Mipa that is great for base coat colours. I use Upol system 20 clear and lay it at about 28-30 psi. My compressor needs upgrading to be honest it struggles to keep up sometimes.
what a transformation mate. looking forward for next video
Cheers mate.
Looks great. Now, what paint sprayer do you use please
Hi. This is the gun I use www.ebay.co.uk/itm/363879235683?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=bN58zuirSmm&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=9_VjO7WfRwq&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
Before doing the thermostat you could have done a sniff test on the coolant 😉
Had no coolant in it mate. The thermostat housing was broken so it all leaked out.
Fantastic job its always good sening people do it properly 👌👍👍👍
Thanks. Yeah It’s the aim to get these cars fixed properly. Its a challenge it worth it.
Thats a lot of work but easly do able.you wont get a profit tho ill be suprised
Great trick on the wheels with the scotch pad 😎👍
😉 thanks. It works a treat but quite dangerous. I like my fingers. 🤣
You lost money on that alll that work
We will see my friend. My time is free and I enjoy the process.
Superb job.. What a minter it looks now.
Thanks. It really came up well. Lot of work though.
Hi, looking well pal, what paint was it you used ?
I used a solvent base for the red it is a product called Mipa from a company called Marlow paint supplies. The clear coat is a UPOL 2k called system 20 with a fast hardener. The UPOL products are incredible and really good price.
Tint the rears
I agree it would look great but I’ve spent enough 🤣
Neighbour from hell! Spraying a car outside!
100% agree. My neighbours are pretty cool so don’t mind. I’ll not spray a full car at once outside though! It was carnage 🤦🏼♂️
She’s looking mint ❤ it’s like a brand new car 🚗
Not even half way through the video and I’m very very impressed bro 😎 well done setting levels for other car flipping channels ❤ keep up the good work and amazing content!!
Glad you enjoyed it! Cheers mate.
Super job on this one 👏
Thanks. It was a mission but worth it.
The car looks fantastic! Well done 👏 looking forward to the S3!
You and me both! The S3 has quite a bit wrong with it 🤦🏼♂️
Car looks amazing. Well done 👏👏👏👏
Glad you like it! Thanks for watching
Idk
Can't wait for the s3 mate
Me too I’ve never driven one. Should be interesting.
Your Custom looks great. Can you tell me, which size of wheels you have on and the name of the alus? Greats from Germany Reinhold
Thanks. The wheels are 20 inch www.ebay.co.uk/itm/186142488883?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=cL9LvJsuSxS&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=9_VjO7WfRwq&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
Coming back from the dead this one... that's the best home made dent puller I've ever seen 😂 be interested to know how you learnt to paint? You've been getting cracking results mate. Great videos 👍
Thanks. Self taught on painting and believe me I’m no pro. Made a lot of mistakes along the way. Just got to try and learn from the cock ups! 🤣
@@Gibboplay yeah absolutely. Do you mind me asking what equipment you use? Keen on trying my hand at it. Thanks and look forward to the next video.
When I see a car this badly treated I'm always concerned that they have neglected the mechanicals too. Good series, keep it going
Yeah it’s a big risk buying something like this I agree. All in the next video 😉 Thanks for watching.
Fascinating series so thanks for the upload. You obviously know a lot about vehicle repairs and it is great to see you put your knowledge to a profitable use. I bought both my Ferraris the easy way by just walking into the showroom and paying for them, I only wish I had your skill because I would have had a lot more satisfaction doing it your way. I guess by the time you are buying cars for £10k and selling them for £15-20k you will quickly achieve your target so I wish you the best of luck and I will continue to watch with eager anticipation.
Really appreciate this comment. I’m actually not a mechanic at all. I build garden rooms for a living but have always loved cars. This whole thing is an exercise to see if it’s possible whilst learning and trying to entertain, educate others. Believe me I’ve made a few mistakes that I’ll show in the next video. All good fun. Thanks for watching.
Excellent job thus far. Keep the vids coming.
Thanks. I certainly will 😊
😢 why lol 😂 I was waiting for the final product ❤, till next time I guess. Keep them coming bro 😎
Thanks mate. I dropped a teaser at 16.35 on the video 😉 no one noticed it I don’t think! 🤣
Really good job bro 10:40 ❤ well done on the body work.
Thanks. I spent hours. The next video shows how well it worked out. 💪🏻
I don’t think you need to use primer on the bumper as it’s going on top of paint that already had primer on. If that makes sense, regardless good job ❤
Agreed but some of the scratches had to be sanded back to the plastic so I wanted to ensure a good surface for the new paint. All about the prep work my friend 😉
Great video mate, and well done on the hard work you put into the car.
Glad you enjoyed it
