This is actually my favourite kind of video. It's cool to see the cars get done and stuff but making your own tools and machines to be able to do these things... it's always been special to me

I wood like to see you do a 10 minute interview with Chris, maybe some questions from the comments that people have.

There was supposed to be a q&a video coming soon.

All engineers do sketches, it is the translation of the 3D model in their head. Chris is such a systematic worker, from ticking off his cutting list, to the packing plates under the braces on the dozer bed so that the braces are centred on the uprights prior to tack welding. It is a pleasure to watch him work 👍👍(love the recycled envelopes for drawing paper👍😎)

Yes! I noticed those packing plates to centre the braces - brilliant idea and so simple!

It's one thing to have access to special tools and a large shop but you need a genius to pull it all together and by jove, Chris is one such chap. Brilliant!

I think Chris is a creative designer at heart and the salvage pays the bills 😊

Hi Rob and Chris, Chris is a very talented and gifted person and can turn is hand to anything same as you can Rob love what you are doing on your KZread channel looking forward to seeing the next one keep up the great work you are doing

It's always impressive how one man sees scrap metal and another a project! such a nice video guys👍

Blinking amazing Rob, Chris has a brilliant brain and always looking to save money. Well done. Bring on the next episode.

Never doubt the pile of scrap, the possibilites are endless! I've got a tonne of wood off-cuts in the garage that has built many-a-thing over the years. Love to see some good old fashioned ingenuity.

Absolutely superb. What a genius. And how generous to share it all with us. Thank you.

Old Skool engineering... love it. Why buy when you can make! Top work! Love the lathe work too... takes me back to my engineering days!

Great satisfaction making things like this for yourself 👍

This is the kind of video I really enjoy! Proper old school fabrication, using bits and pieces to create something useful and save a fair bit of cash in the process.

I continue to be amazed at what Chris can turn his hand to, god knows what he's going to come up with next!!

Great video that boys. Chris is a modern day Magiver and the A team rolled into one. Very cleaver that lads. Different but still great to watch. Rob, Davincci drew a helicopter just like a few hundred years ago. Clearly two clever lads

🤣🤣🤣love him Chris talents are endless your so lucky to Have him as part of your team and what a brilliant money saving idea he has saved your selfs so much money by making it rather than spending a load of money buying one love you guys another excellent video 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽😃😃😃

Two words for chris engineering genius, I loved his diagram for the rotisserie and I would say what the fella has built will probably be better and stronger than one you would buy off the shelf. Great video and thanks for the upload rob.

I used to work on both my partners car and my own. However due to work commitments going crazy with Covid I've not had much time. But seeing Chris and Rob do their thing has given me the push I needed to get off my rear on my day off. Great videos guys. And the other half's happy I've fixed the central locking and rear bumper 😊 keep the vids coming. Cheers

What a hell of a guy chris is ..... who else would have done/ though to do that . !!!! . Well done Chris .. !! .

Great content it just shows Chris fabrication skills and why he is so good at fixing crash damage 👏 Part of the joy of this channel from day one is the diversity of the content ..keep it up

Chris is a proper old school engineer, his talents is amazing. Top work lads 😎👍🏻

Your channel truly motivates me! I used to love watching wheeler dealer, but you both blow that out of the water! I could watch you both work for hours on end, no matter what the content. Well done, absolutely smashing the content. Love the channel, love your positive attitudes 👍🏼❤️

Really enjoyed that. Nice to see something different. My father in law and Chris would get on so well. He has piles of scrap and knocks things together to help restore his old tractor collection

Well done Chris

Absolutely no substitute for ingenuity, know how, skill and having the focus to make a success of any project you guys take on.....loving your vids keep 'em coming.

Just when you think you've seen everything up pops Chris with the light bulb on his head flashing, man's nothing short of a pure genius,

Chris the man who can.its plain and simple if you can dream it you can build it...!!! the guy is a genius ..enough said.

The best is you made it from scrap bought one would not be a patch on this one nice and strong genius great 👍👨🏻‍🏭

Back in them days when you used to take us to weigh in the scrap, my god you have both come such a long way. Chris is a mathematical engineering genius. I love both of your passion in the fields of perfection. 👍👍👍👍👍

Really handy for restoration a rotisserie. Making one better than some of the bought ones. Made one with a mate for a Plymouth Road Runner. So much easier to work on a body replacing any rust problems. Well done fellas.

"And that children is why you should pay attention to your Trigonometry at school!" I bought a rotisserie 'off the shelf' new last year for £400 for the Mini I am restoring. Well worth the money to me as I am working in a 'not too big' garage. But Chris is giving a Masterclass in basic engineering principles. These skills and the knowledge behind them aren't taught enough at schools like it used to be. When I left school at 16 I became an apprenticed Jig & Toolmaker. 1963!

Great to see an engineer at work, working with 'scrap' to make something really useful plus having hydraulic rotation - amazing. Thanks Chris for building it and thanks Chris for filming etc. You make a great team.

A great piece of welding fabrication by Chris there. Saved a fortune on buying off the shelf and probably a lot more durable.

Once the Viva is completed I can see the new venture: 'Rob n Chris's Hog Roast and Barbecue,' or the catchier "Sausage Rebuilds UK"

What I'd love to see is a day where Chris does the filming and Rob does the work...it could be very interesting 🙈

The boys at BOM came out with a good saying. Something like "Perfection is the enemy of good enough". Great work as always at Salvage Rebuilds!!!

Wow the mind of Chris. He’s an absolute genius!! A different but really interesting video. I was hooked!!

Good video. Reminded me of my Grandfather. He would decide that he needed a tool or whatever and hay presto not long after a pile of scrap would become just the tool he needed to do a job. Thank you.

A man with a welder and a pile of scrap will always make something useful and save a few quid in doing so👍

Absolutely amazing work. It’s like watching the A Team! That dates me.... top work guys. 👍

Great content yet again, keep mixing it up. I know it is primarily a salvage repair channel, but all the other bits and pieces are just as good

Go on Chris absolutely brilliant you are the man mechanic engineer jack of all trades respect to you both

Brilliant drawing.

Here looking forward to that Hi-Lux turn around the paint is going to come up lovely - yous be ate alive for that pick up 👍👍👍

What a legend Chris is. A very clever man.

Chris is making me feel a lot better about my scrap pile. That should work for the golf GTI too.

That Chris is a genius.

Bank Holiday blockbuster! Love it when Chris gets his thinking cap on. Can't wait to see it in action!

To have a vision in your mind and then built it is absolutely genius.. 👍🏻

Chris the frugal man that every garage needs, why spend a fortune when it can be made out of scrap

fantastic , Chris is a very handy lad . cant wait to see it working.

Genius and saves money recycling scrap. Looking forward to the next vid

At this point we pretty much believe Chris could manufacturer an entire Viva sat on the toilet 🤣

Rob : " We`ll just buy one " .........Chris : " Hold my beer ( Coffee ) I got this ! 🤣🤣🤣

Love the drawings on an envelope . Alec Issigonis designed the mini on a napkin while at a restaurant .

Chris seems to even use the same envelopes as me for design drawings. Just made up some heavy duty wheel stands with detachable ramps from some scrap that was lying around. Looking forward to seeing the rotisserie finished and in use. So much more satisfying when you build something yourself. Great video as always.

Absolutely brilliant video Rob! - a true craftsman (and his mate) at work there, this is classic engineering - “no need to buy a new one, I can make one of them with a load of scrap and off cuts” says Chris!! And it will be far better than you can buy! Your vids are so inspirational, I brought two 12 volt batteries from Kent Auto Salvage last week and my first lot of G101 arrived this week! Well pleased 😀 👍🤣👏😉🤦

Rob, this is whats happens when you have talent, you don't just pull your wallet out. Excellent work Chris, hopefully you will inspire others to follow suit.

Chris is a make do and mend genius

It’s been said many many time but is there anything Chris cant do or make? Skill set like his is hard to find these days, in this throw away society we live in. Another brilliant bit of engineering and a cracking video guys. Thanks keep doing what you do.

That Chris...what a legend Is there anything he can't do?????

great video, branching out from just repairing the cars, it shows the talent in the team. it would be good to see more, also any faulty equipment you buy cheap and repair

Look forward to all the vids work away all week in my lorry its always something to look forward to believe me thanks guys 😊🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

There's no end to Chris's talents

Some people are brilliant at what they do Chris is one such person

Brilliant piece of engineering Chris

What a talent Chris is, cracking content as always Rob. Can’t wait to see it finished 👌

Love the different stuff - look forward to see. you lighting the fire under the Viva

All the best designs start out on the back of an envelope, the original mini being one example!

There's no end to Chris's talent that looks amazing 👍

Rob could you please put a link in the description below for.....Chris !😂. Does he come preassembled or flat packed! He’s a human Swiss Army Knife. 😂Is there anything the man can’t do? He’s a problem solver, master craftsman and pure genius! Love this channel and keep up the good work guys!

Chris that is just brilliant, words fail me !!

Wow what a skill set, plan it in your head and then execute superb, you do also have some great workshop tools

Only Chris could look at that pile of metal and say I am going to build something, amazing engineer.

fantastic video to watch

Brilliant ingenuity I made my engine crane so it mounts on the back of the tractor using scrap I had kicking about 10 out of 10 Chris 👍👍🔧🚜🧰

When your as talented as Chris there is no enjoyment or satisfaction in purchasing something that can be made regardless of cost or time

it is fantastic to see someone make something instead of just going out and buying it, at least this way you guys know it will be well made and last for a long time

As a nation people do not make do and mend any longer - great to see that there are people around who can still come up with the ideas and skills to do things like this...

Once again another brilliant video amazing talent there by Chris he’s a genius proper old school engineering looking forward to the next video of the mounting keep up the good work guys 👍

Rob I think you struck gold when met Chris with his premises and his knolage the mans a genius 👏

Chris skills are top class. Amazing what to can make, with the tools ,skills and time. Big thank you guys.

Wouldn’t expect anything less from you pair👍👍👍👍

outstanding. i love to see someone using their brains and building something from scratch rather than spending a fortune on ready made equipment. i'm looking forward to seeing more on the ha viva my dad had one back in the 70s.

Great Content Lads fair play to yous - great bit of design & execution Chris your gifted mate but you don’t need me to point out the obvious. Nice 1 Rob mate 👍🇮🇪👍

It's great to see things being made like this, it's not all about the other stuff all the time, another great vid lads looking forward to seeing finished 👍👍

T1/T2 Camper? And Chris explaining stuff will be epic! So knowledgeable 🙌

Fair play, I’m about to start one myself, a little bit different in that I’m using hydraulics but to lift and lower the shell as on the resto I’m doing there will be more lifting and lowering than rotating but hey a really inventive piece of work there. It’s better than anything you’ll buy and really interesting to watch, well done.

Is there anything Chris can’t do ? The man is a genius!! Fair play lads great content!!! Love this 👍

Proper engineers drawings but probably a bit more detail than you normally get 😂. Nice to see a proper old school engineer at work. I am sure that the rotis...retrosit.... rotoret .... spit roaster 😂 will save you money in the end. Looking forward to seeing the final working machine.

Chris can put his hand to anything doing a great job

Your channel is just so good to watch. thanks for the content Rob and Chris.

Super Chris strikes again. Nothing wrong with this content lads, Great video as always.

Chris is a genius. What an engineering icon the man is. Men in sheds is what put the Great in Great Britain. Totally off the wall video but absolutely brilliant, love watching you guys 😀👍

Awesome v log Chris has amazing engineering skills brunelll of the modern day

Fascinating, some talent and skill going on there

I constructed a the same sort of thing for a classic mini i'm restoring, it makes life easy when replacing floors etc. good job chris you'll love it.

I bet Chris was very good at Airfix kits back in the day 🤣👍

Pure genius👌👍😊

Chris gets a lot of mention for good reason, rob knows Chris's abilities and doesn't bring back lemons.. Well not many anyway lol, buying and selling is an art in itself and he doesn't mind doing the bits that everyone hates and generally mucking in.. Its teamwork Chris is just more on the tools.
