    Chris has a real eye for detail. How he gets those inner panels so precise is unbelievable!

    I was feeling a bit crap today--probably down to this awful weather-then up pops your video and I'm all smiley again-thanks. Always really enjoy your stuff no matter what it is. Best regards from an old fart in Ireland.

    Got to laugh, it’s the usual story “ so I just popped out to do a little job outside and when I came in, Chris had finished the Astra, converted two Challenger 2 tanks to Challenger 3 Spec, and raised the Titanic and completed 50% of the welding to make her sea worthy” Joking aside, great job guys. I always look forward to your next content.

    No corners cut here, except the corners that need cutting out for replacement. Always a pleasure to see craftsmanship in action. Should be as good as new when finished.

The honest repairs that you both achieve in your workplace is second to none, unbelievable! Total credit to you. Cannot wait to see in a later vid what you were doing outside!!

    Another great project by a couple of the most detail oriented repair people in the business. As the big items get knocked on the head, those little niggly items, picked up in other life encounters, like those side dents show up more clearly. You are right, this should be an ideal car for anyone who is in the market when it is done and dusted. It is going to be an exhibit quality item, and a credit to your dedication. It was a great example of buying the right project in the first place.

    Great video the time you take to test fit the panels prior to final welding is just one example of your high standards. The welding looks amazing and the quality of your work is to the same high level whether its on a Vauxhall, a Merc or nearly new Evoque.
