Grant I’m a small bodyshop owner in Ireland not many smart repair guys over here I’m curiously watching youre channel ! The van layout is top class you have , a bigger van sounds more viable but like you’ve said there’s only so much you need on the road . With high rents and rates it’s something I’m considering , best of luck with youre new journey !
Nothing like a nice cosy booth, matey 👌,I used to think of it as extreme spraying, fighting against everything, weather is the killer in the UK two hot then to cold, and windy your gazebo looks agreat help. I only had a giant fishing umbrella ☂️☔,no joke.heat gun and lamps to keep you warm..get your own generater people can begrudge using their power, specially at the moment.
Hi Grant you got van sorted out ready for the future work you do with all your tools set up ready for the next week to come I am pleased you are all good with you new business all the best to you and your family 😎😎👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧
You can tell your enjoying grant 👍van looks the nuts mate O C D to the max 😄 but I am the same mate everything has a place It makes you work more efficiently all the best bud will pop over very soon for a coffee 🤔 I didn't see the fancy coffee machine in the van mate 😉
I'm really sorry Grant but you have a typical disease that a lot of us males suffer with including myself it's called RTFM (aka Read The Friggin Manual 🤣) that really cracked me up because it's just the sort of thing I would do! 🤷♂️🤦♂️ Those 3M blue foam backed discs are amazing they are expensive but they last for ages, when I prep a panel for say a flow coat I use the Mirka net P400 then use the 3M P600 giving it a quick go over and it's ready for clear, I will say that the tiny holes do clog up but either hover the disc or blow it out which will make it last even longer, I use both the P600 and P1000, also those 3M grippy cloth are also great wouldn't be without them. It's great to see you are doing well and are getting your van more organised, also you are now looking happier than you have for a long time mate so I'm really pleased you are enjoying your new venture 🤗🙏👍
Hi mate, well done for going back and reading instructions I thought same as you, surely can’t be crap at that money Van is looking good a place for everything means you can put your hand straight on it no messing 👌👊👍🏻
The other half gave me a dirty look when you were on about "sucking" lol seems a good cam, can you put a switch in line to turn it off to save battery?🤣👍
Grant Most Fords nowadays have a lighter fuse which can either be on all the time or ignition switched fed. Its a case of moving the fuse to next position
Fantastic week's work Grant,looks like a better fit for you going around and meeting more people,and hopefully word of mouth will spread and you'll be pulling your hair out with all that work 😂😂💪💪
Hey Mr Grant I was looking for this video of your set up.. it is great I love it just the things that you really need. How can I do to get the sanding blocks set that you have I was looking on Amazon but I cannot find it. Thanks 👌👍
RTFM 🤣Refining the kit and where everything in the van is does take time, nice to see you are getting there. Hope you are enjoying the outdoors - Spring is here 🙂
Love that compressor,, have had any problems starting on a 13 amp supply being 3 hp, i do notice most smart repair guys use the abac brand so must be a good one…
I drive a transit custom too and I’m pretty sure that the cigarette lighter you have your dash cam plugged in to only stays live for a short amount of time after you turn off ignition… I thought it was permanent live but was switching off…
Van set up looks great grant was thinking the other day when I seen you bending on your feet be careful with you feet mate after last time, sorry van dash cam user error instruction book no good to a bloke audio video would better lol
It takes a big man to admit he was wrong, well done. and please do those rear door hinges and now I see the door shut behind your pink sander blocks.🤣😂🤣
Nice set up now you’ve lived with it for a while …. I’m forever moving stuff about in my Vito , but when it’s pissing it down , it looks like a bombs hit it , cos it just gets thrown in when I’ve finished a job , til I get back and re stack it 😀have you thought about a pull out awning for the side?
Oh dear, bit of a boo-boo there Grant. Good thing is you didn't throw whole thing in the bin and actually did what few of us men do and read the instructions 😂🤣😅
Definitely not fit for purpose with the van cam and you having to read the destructions. I mean do they even know blocks never read them😂. Grant takes one on the chin cause he is honest n that’s why we follow him. See you tomorrow hopefully👍
Brilliant set up mate, makes me want to sort mine out lol. One thing that helps down the line is a side awning on the van, if u get caught out by a freak shower usually just before lacquering, takes 20 seconds to pull out.. Also a taurpaulin for the floor, as people get fricken anal about their block pavers can do the best job in the world get stung for that. Saving u the hassle haha Good luck anyway, proper bloke. Quality work

Very curious how you blend the areas with clear coat you should make a video for smart repair tips
Will do 👍👍👍
Hey Mr Grant I was looking for this video of your set up.. it is great I love it just the things that you really need. How can I do to get the sanding blocks set that you have I was looking on Amazon but I cannot find it. Thanks 👌👍

@@grantssmartrepairs Thanks 👌
👊👊👊👊👊
Hi nice set up and brilliant video, must have missed how you are getting electric as can't see a generator? Or is it from a battery?
Thanks I just plug in via extension lead 👍👍👍
Looks great 👊👊👊
👊👊👊👊👊
RTFM 🤣Refining the kit and where everything in the van is does take time, nice to see you are getting there. Hope you are enjoying the outdoors - Spring is here 🙂

Loving the regular content Grant 👊
👊👊👊👊👊👊
Love the videos
Nice work done with the van Grant,it looks organised so you would know where it is.the dashcam is smart and works nicely.
👊👊👊👊👊👊👊
looks good
The best part of having a home for everything is that you can notice if something is missing at a glance.
The van is now looking the business.
👊👊👊👊👊👊👊
Looking great Grant! Wishing you all the best with the venture 👌 Do you still have the mk2?
👊👊👊👊👊👊👊
Love that compressor,, have had any problems starting on a 13 amp supply being 3 hp, i do notice most smart repair guys use the abac brand so must be a good one…
No mate this one is spot on there’s a higher power model that’s 16amp and that will trip
Looks great
👊👊👊👊👊👊
Hi again..Can you tell mw why you work from the side., and not the back of the van ? Cheers
I drive a transit custom too and I’m pretty sure that the cigarette lighter you have your dash cam plugged in to only stays live for a short amount of time after you turn off ignition… I thought it was permanent live but was switching off…
Yeah someone said to me about half hour I’m going to check it tomorrow 👍👍👍
Grant the what is the sanding paper you use on the roll for the blocks?
It’s called sia net 👍👍👍👍
Van looking good mate. I'm opposite with my ocd I used to be more relaxed but now much worse lol
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Van set up looks great grant was thinking the other day when I seen you bending on your feet be careful with you feet mate after last time, sorry van dash cam user error instruction book no good to a bloke audio video would better lol

Very neat
👊👊👊👊👊👊👊
It takes a big man to admit he was wrong, well done. and please do those rear door hinges and now I see the door shut behind your pink sander blocks.🤣😂🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Looking good. Now i will do my van as soon as i get it painted🙂. How big is the gazebo and how do like the paint scheme? The color match good?
Gazebo is a rock awnings rhino hex45 3mx4.5m and the paint scheme is spot on so far every colour has been pukka
Happy Sunday to you 👍💯
👊👊👊👊👊👊👊👊
Grant are going to be mobile full time? As its expensive having a unit,
Yes I am
Sorted 👍👍👍
👊👊👊👊👊👊
OOOOPS! You just never know, Mind you im always told to RTM. read the manual , no worries fella .
😂😂😂🤣👍👍👍👍
Nice set up now you’ve lived with it for a while …. I’m forever moving stuff about in my Vito , but when it’s pissing it down , it looks like a bombs hit it , cos it just gets thrown in when I’ve finished a job , til I get back and re stack it 😀have you thought about a pull out awning for the side?
Yeah not sure yet 👍👍👍👍
@@grantssmartrepairs saves you from getting a soaking even if you can’t get it close enough to the repair !!
Just looked at them £700 😳😳😳
@@grantssmartrepairs ok maybe not then😱
😳😳😳😳😳
Oh dear, bit of a boo-boo there Grant.
Good thing is you didn't throw whole thing in the bin and actually did what few of us men do and read the instructions 😂🤣😅
👊👊👊👊👊👊👊
nice sounds like me doing it without the instructions then moaning because it don’t work about right isn’t it
Great van and come on who reads instructions 😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣👍👍👍👍👍
Southampton a bit far for you mate need a few bits doing on the bmw
Yeah mate sorry
Its a bit like the A_Team van....
When a plan comes together... :)
N x

Definitely not fit for purpose with the van cam and you having to read the destructions. I mean do they even know blocks never read them😂. Grant takes one on the chin cause he is honest n that’s why we follow him. See you tomorrow hopefully👍
😂😂😂😂👊👊👊👊👊
👍
Oh yeah, RTFM 🤣 also you can get mini or micro usb kits that will hard wire to the car/van using the fuse box 👍
👊👊👊👊👊👊👊
💪💪💪
👊👊👊👊👊👊👊
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Can I have the dash cam????
What areas are you covering
Essex & Hertfordshire but if the jobs worth it I’ll travel further 👍👍👍
Last minute entry 🤔
Brilliant set up mate, makes me want to sort mine out lol.
One thing that helps down the line is a side awning on the van, if u get caught out by a freak shower usually just before lacquering, takes 20 seconds to pull out..
Also a taurpaulin for the floor, as people get fricken anal about their block pavers can do the best job in the world get stung for that.
Saving u the hassle haha
Good luck anyway, proper bloke. Quality work
Thanks yeah I did think about a side awning not been able to park beside a job yet but will have a look though and yeah good idea about a sheet 👍👍👍👍👍
Hello mate 👍
👊👊👊👊👊
👌🏽👊🏽👊🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
👊👊👊👊👊👊
I'm still interested in the other one now I know they're not as shite as previously quoted 🤣
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Didn't read the instructions 😳 unbelievable 🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
👍😁😄😛💪👊🤛🤜👏🙏🎅
👊👊👊👊👊👊👊👊
Still alot of money with no sd card
👊👊👊👊👊👊
You cant beat a lock and a suck geezer..... Nice haircut too.
👊👊👊👊👊👊👊
Grant - instructions are only for ignorant people - always remember that.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👍👍
😂 dash cam

Nothing worse than wasting time looking for stuff instead of getting stuck in can't beat a bit of organising.
👊👊👊👊👊👊👊
LoL...
