      They make a fantastic team chris is very talented man and rob works extremely hard just finding the parts let alone going to collect them and cars what impresses me the most about these guys is how OCD they both are and immaculate the work shop is . Awesome work and fantastic viewing The BEST ON YT

    Profit is not a dirty word Rob, great turn around and fantastic content. Chris sounded a little under the weather so best regards to him.

    • @paulketchupwitheverything767
      @paulketchupwitheverything767 2 роки тому +3

      Absolutely. Rob gives us the selling price minus the cost the wrecked car and the price of the parts and calls it their 'profit'. There will be business rates, energy costs, waste collection, insurance, trade plates, replacement tools etc. etc. to pay out for the business before Chris and Rob get what is left for their labour.

    So satisfying to see a car brought back to it's glory - always think it's a shame when they're left to rot as they're someone's pride and joy.

  • @manicmasterofmetal2620
    @manicmasterofmetal2620 2 роки тому

    Rob and Chris, you have transformed that absolute wreck into a work of art. A lot of other panel beaters just want to cover up a lot of problems and don't care about the future owner and the problems they will have down the track. You two really do make smash damaged cars as good as new again and then take the time to put a few hundred kilometres/miles on them to make sure there are no rattles, squeaks, brake or steering problems, and then you sell them for a very cheap price. I have said it before, I wouldn't hesitate to buy one of your repaired cars as I would be confident it would last me a long time with no problems. Great video. Thanks fellas.

  • @organiccold
    @organiccold 2 роки тому +29

    Hi guys. Rob, you hit the nail in the head when you said this industry is hard and some people don't realize it! It's indeed a very hard industry to work on, from costs, to the labour and know how involved, you need to be at engineering level sometimes. But this one was a speed of light project, and we'll deserved profit. You said you guys aren't UA-camrs, well you're a 20% UA-camrs as it brings some revenue and filming it makes the work go a bit slower and editing is work too!

    To do this with recycling as a big part of the project gets my respect and the profit you make is a just reward for the effort and ingenuity you put into achieving it.

    • @Phuc_Yhou
      @Phuc_Yhou 2 роки тому +1

      p.s theres loads of other reasons its great content like watching it being done properly, dealing with problems, variety of projects, viewer involvement, sponsers who you belive in, local business promotion, relationship dynamic, Robs getting his mucking words fuddled with those Turkish teeth plus numerous others that escape me at present.

    Well, this one has turned out well and no time lost getting there. The amount of plastic bits shocked me, but perhaps it has worked in your favour. It might have put off other bidders, but that was your gain. I do not knock you for working the system to get the deals you need, the business needs your hard work. Nice to know hard work gets its rewards.

    As ever the end results are amazing. This Mini looks like new and is now probably in better condition than some two year old cars. You had some luck with the purchase price and locating parts but it was your skills, experience and perseverance in putting it all back togther to such a high standard that achieve an end result like this. A bargain for someone at this price and nice profit for you - well done it's well deserved👍

    Hello mate, really enjoy the content and the format of the channel. Subscribed about a year ago after coming across the videos on the black 3 door Cosworth and have continued to watch what Chris and yourself get up to ever since. Definitely one of the best channels on this subject matter and hope you're both chuffed with your achievements, as you well should be. Never commented before, but after watching you crunch the numbers in this one, for the first time, I actually did have a look at what similar Mini's were going for, and you're right, majority of them around the early 20k mark!! So I take my hat off to you both for only asking what you are. Its a lovely profit anyway, but you could have asked a lot more. The fact you haven't shows how fair, unselfish, and what a proper nice pair of fellas you are. Refreshing to come across people who aren't greedy in any way, and show that, done properly, everyone is a winner. Anyway, apologies for waffling on, but credit where credit is due. Keep up the great work mate, and thanks for a great channel, with great content, hosted by two top fellas. Take care fella and all the very best for the future 👊👊👍💯
