    When Chris was tapping out the ding in the wing, I suddenly thought of the episode of Father Tad where Ted tried to repair a small dent in the bonnet. Now there's a perfectionist !

    Previously i would never have entertained buying a crash repaired vehicle, but having watched many of your videos i would buy one from you, you show the process the effort and the dedication to getting it back to how it was, fair play.

    You've got a cool deal with this salvage yard and it benefits both of you. You're being very respectful in this regard and honest as well and that's what's important. I really enjoy the variety of the vehicles you and Chris work on.

    Seeing where the lamppost embedded itself in the front of the spare vehicle reminded me of a story from long ago. I was working overseas, and one of our vehicles had a similar, though smaller, dent, complete with lamppost coloured pain. The driver claimed he parked, only to return later, and find a dent. He was sent off to the police compound, to explain his issue. The sergeant listened, asked if that was a true account, the driver said yes. The police then said okay, just sit in this room for a moment, the door clicked. Right, said the sergeant now listen to our story, 'we have released you, sleep well'. Lying to the police did not go down well.
    Back to the car, great that it is not recorded as damaged, and that hunting for parts is going well. The pulling, hammering and plashing was an excellent bit of recording, since we saw the bent panel ease is way back into shape one more, great stuff.
    Rob, always practice on scrap you get passing through to the waste bin, there is no risk, so no worry, and practice makes for skilled workers.

    I’d love to hear about where it all started for Chris. Where his passion for working with his hands came from and how it came to being. Surely you don’t build that level of skill set in just three years in the crash repair business.
    Just by virtue of the old Morris truck in the family, I suspect there’s a good family story in their of skills being passed down and the fact he lives on a farm. You don’t just build that amount of tools and equipment just like that either.
    I bet it’s as fascinating to hear that tale as watching the great man at work.

    Chris is a Legend! - bodywork is the scariest part of a car for me :( -feels like a lost art in a throwaway culture, great work, and love the channel guys! -even without the money aspect, I enjoy seeing cars being saved :)

  • @Takedown717
    @Takedown717 7 місяців тому

    100% would love to hear his back story. You pick up bits along the way, the family Morris etc and plain to see his passion for not cutting corners and doing the job right. Would be an interesting outro CHRIS ❤👌👍

    Nice one Rob to say about the people who keep saying about taking parts off you haven't paid for as your spot on people don't realise your an honest person and have got good things going with contacts you've built up with good relationship with them I'm talking about the talk you were saying about the parts car them letting you take the whole car situation

    @duncanmcewan1049 3 роки тому

    Watching Chris hammer out the inner wing "bit" and I swear it just seems like random tapping and hammering - but look - straight metal. Anyone can hammer a bit of metal, but good panel beating is an absolute art-form. Chris' skills are "just a bit" beyond a gallon of filler and some paint ! Added note - Just realised this was a 1 hour video - probably the longest I have seen from you guys. Yep - Watched it all. Watching the repairs being done is quite therapeutic :) I hope your mate is happy with the car - its a nice car for the ££ for sure.

    Haha, I have rental cars. I got to one of my vans once and was struggling to work out how the damage occurred. Went back over the pick up photos and worked out it was two borrowers and two separate hits. My insurer wanted more detailed pictures so I went back and by that time, it had copped another in a different location on the same panel
