Thanks Rob I took advantage of this discount checking out a Ford Focus ST I’m buying, it gave me a print out of 20 pages with lots of info even down to the comprehensive massive list of the spec of the car! Only thing I didn’t see however was a list of previous owners unless I missed within all the other blurb, anyway thanks mate 👍🏻

One of the best channels on KZread keep up the good work Chris and Rob 👌

Crikey that’s been hit hard. Testament to the design though and the video shows that the crumple zones did their job. All the bits designed to bend and break have worked and the occupants got out safely. Looking forward to seeing this put back together in a proper repair particularly the parts round the turret. No wood screws round here!

I just love your positivity, you look at a pile of mangled metal, shrug your shoulders as though it is just a surface scratch! It really is uplifting with all the negativity in the world at the moment......

Never fails to amaze me how you guys can tackle this kind of damage look forward to it

What I like about Chris is his no nonsense attitude, no messing around. He's straight in there and that's the case with all these videos.

Great video as always, that new guy Johnny seems good worker

You need to change the name of the channel to “ salvage FIESTA rebuilds “ rob loving the channel

I have to say that you are both so very lucky. You complement each other in your behaviour and working practices. It comes I think from mutual respect.

Really gonna enjoy your work on this one! I've got a 66plate 1.0 Ecoboost Fiesta (tho not 140bhp!) and watching you work your magic on this is gonna be a real treat. Crack on fellas!

Normally, (if a car has more than a small dent repaired) I'd NEVER buy a car that was accidented for obvious reasons, and the grey Fiesta is perfect example of why I don't. Knowing that you and Chris repaired it, however, I wouldn't give it a seond though. The trick is knowing who fixed the car and how. I would buy that car (knowing Chris did the work) anytime because he fixes cars to exact manufacturer specs so it'll be safe and done properly.

Great one gents. Just shows how well designed modern cars are for the main cage to be undamaged and even the screen intact etc. Looking forward to seeing it put back together 👍

The wife laughs at me when these videos pop up, they honestly make my day after a shift in work What a mess lads - stuck a couple of coffees into the fund for both of you, looks like you will need it with this one

That white fiesta was a mega buy👌going save 2 cars and a shed load of cash ..Good luck with the build guys🔧🔧

Rob , your not going to like this...... just had sombody I know loose two fingers in their own workshop. Those white trainers have got to go , decent working boots PLEASE. Broken toes and bleeding feet are so very painfull, I know. Loving you channel and content you and Chris are very professional at your craft. Keep up the great content thanks..

You guys are becoming Fiesta ST and Fiat 500 specialists! The standard when you finished the Red ST to is anything to go by your reputation will grow. Thanks for the videos gents.

Joking apart, that lad learned the best lesson he’ll ever get because he walked away unhurt, he won’t make the same mistake again. I’ll definitely be looking for this one when it becomes available for sale.

I admire you guys for taking this car on - my first impression was that it was BER but your experience lets you see what others can't.

So nice to see you guys doing things in the best standards. Your family and parents must be so proud of you both, you are a credit to our trade. Please don’t change 👍🏻

Agreed too! Top top guys.

It's always entertaining to watch how a car that looks so badly damaged can be fully repaired by competent skilled workers.

Whilst you have done a quite a few Fiesta's the repairs on this one will be a bit different and will be great for us to watch. Brilliant that you have the parts car and will be able to use many of its parts on this one - the gift that keeps on giving! as I think Rob has said in the past🙂

Firstly, very sorry for the previous owner, I’d be gutted to! However it will be good for him to see it being brought back to A1 condition, which I know it will be, may be you guys should consider giving him first refusal when complete, just an idea, not really my place to say, apologies. From a SRUK it’s brilliant, the content this is going to create will be excellent, I’m really looking forward to seeing and understanding how it will be repaired. I did appreciate the live camera rather than time laps, thanks for that Chris. Keep up the good work guys. Thank you!

Amazing video and content as always, poor lad must be gutted when he smashed it up! But what an amazing opportunity to watch you guys put it back together again and do your magic! Keep up the good work Rob & Chris love your videos! 👍🏽👍🏽

Buying a car like this is defo a leap of faith unless u can see and view how and who repaired it...! This is where u guys are standing out...! EXCELLENT CHANNEL and content, looking forward to this as much as I did the first one I watched 👀, so with the lad being 3rd party and u guys having 80% of parts not that they still don't add up, maybe u already have a new buyer? The old owner? Just a thought, anyhow enough waffle...see u both soon in the next video

It amazes me that you are both not phased at all by a car like this that has had a heavy front impact, makes great content for us. chris I know you are highly experienced but please do not walk under the engine hoist just incase it collapses.

What a mess guys but you sound positive. Look forward to future vids on your progress.

Guys, really love the first vids, watching how easy you make it look taking the car apart. Particularly looking forward to seeing that turret replaced. It's great watching you repair a car properly - no cutting corners but doing it correctly! Gutted for the lad whose car it was - its a cracking looking little car which you'll have looking looking back to it's best v soon! Keep up the good work lads!

That was a great video guys, kept me glued to the screen! I'm really excited and looking forward to seeing the progress of this repair. Keep up the good work

You Boys tend to make me smile , Genuine motor engineers. Chris looks like a true professional and Rob. Looks like a Philadelphian lawyer on his way to squash practice . Can’t wait to see how it pans out.KTF London Paul 🇬🇧👍

Ah crappy Monday made more bearable, thanks for another great video

Having worked on those engines before and knowing the cost of the timing tools and labour to change just that front cover and that fact its a floating crank pulley that requires 700nm tightening torque, I'd suggest a good second hand engine and save yourself the time and effort. The tools themselves are £££s and are a must, even before you factor in the cost of the cover and the timing belt which you'd change whilst you're in there because they're so problematic

i am sure rob you called criss johnny.. Ps it looks like it's going to be a great wee car..

Find myself wondering if this would be sensible purchase, even with the benefit of the excellent work the guys will doubtless complete. It has clearly been thrashed to death for 50,000 miles…

Wow! You do amazing stuff, I would never have believed you could repair that. I love watching experts doing what they love doing. Thanks for yet another brilliant vid. Cheers!

Quite a lot of work involved, which you and Chris always make look so easy, but under no illusions - your experience and expertise are your key assets!! Brilliant viewing.

Haha this was crashed 1min from my house, down ramsgate port...its a fun roundabout if you can actually make it round it

Rob, my ocd is kicking in😩....I would love to see you and Chris restore the engine stand! I'm sure I'm not the only one lol

Looking forward to the rest of this rebuild. These Fiestas seem to be fairly straightforward to work on. As you said two very lucky young people. Keep up the good work guys.

If you’re taking that timing cover off you may aswell change the timing belt, will add value and save the future owner a very expensive job 👍🏽

It did take a good smack,pulling that engine out is the way too go like pulling a big tooth,great video 👍

Brilliant video I've done plenty of salvage but nothing like that, it's amazing what you do.

Another great video. At least everyone was okay. Looking forward to see it finished

Poor lad feel for him It had a good hit 😱 will look fresh and mint when u guys r done 👍👍👍

Such a shame for the lad, we all make mistakes, and we were all young once, let's hope he can get a loan and buy it back when you have both worked your magic

My mate actually did that, in the 90s, crystal palace parade, he said watch this got in hes mk2 granada, drove upto the roundabout, went round, came ripping off it, the back went left, then right, then he lost it and went 180 degrees backwards up the kerb into a large tree, the rear wheel was so bent the driveshaft had come out, about 7 of us jumped into the back of minivan to go assist, ahhh still remember him trying to pull away not realising he had wrote the car off. The good ol days... fun times

Another great video, very informative and educational for all of us amateur mechanics. Keep up the great work and content, looking forward to the next one

Great video gents couldn’t take my eyes of it. You are not only excellent mechanics, but also excellent film makers.

Never get rid of anything next day you need it. Lol good video again lads.

Guys you need to fix that clock that's hanging up on the wall, my ocd was kicking in while trying to enjoy that engine removal :-)

Loved the 'watch together' live engine drop approach to filming Rob. People wouldn't believe the extent you guys go to to fix them up !! Still an an avid fan, cheers Mac in Staffs.

Look forwards to seeing this one put back together,Rob & Chris.

I was going to say the same as Brian below, I would give the lad first refusal then if he is not keen you should make a fair profit from it.

Great video guys, i'm still impressed by the skills involved with the pair of you to make these essentially knackered cars completely road worthy again, and not recorded!

Feel for the lad. We were all young once! Might be nice to give him first refusal to buy it back when it's finished?

Great result you guys have a lot of parts that'll help you on your way, but a lot of work on this one. Look forward to next installment 🙂👍

Always speed involved!! I hate these little 1.0l fuzzers

They were also 'lucky' that there wasn't any pedestrians on that pavement! 🤨🤨

Another brilliant video guys. Definitely more live feed Rob. Fair play Chris not long taking the engine out 👍

The value in doing similar cars is the parts bounty you get from project to project :), nice work Rob. Also very handy you have a jig expert in Chris.

Some people kick tyres, Chris kicks engines
