Guys I like how honest and thorough you are, don’t change.

A good smart guy can fix that roof . Like the guy who did the seats on the porsche I think, he re-painted them for you yea thats fixable . It's what I do I could fix that but I'm in Scotland . would cost you £75.00

I can think of 2 people who still have integrity in the salvage game, you guys

At 9:46 "We're gonna need a leg, an arm..." Chris just admitted that front corner will cost an arm and a leg!! I'll get my coat!. Seriously, that will make a great car for someone.

I love your comment " doesn't it sound lovely and I don't mean the hairdryer that's just gone past " another quality Rob comment 👏 👌

It's a real shame that many folks have no integrity anymore , apart from Rob n Chris of course

This will be another cracking few videos sorting this one out, can't wait. Rob, you said you've bought another couple of cars too, plenty of content to come then. This channel deserves to get to 500k subs, and it will. I've been watching since before Chris wanted to be on camera, but since he has, what a difference he's made. Absolutely brilliant content every time, keep doing what you're doing lads. 👏

Love Chris s positivity. That's why people want you to do well.

All that extra damage for no extra money Best way to look at it guys

Well done on this one guys, I am sure you will make a beautiful car for some lucky owner. The auction house should be ashamed as if this had been bought by an ordinary car person this could have been a total disaster. I think you guys should start your own car auction business, you know cars inside out and seem very honest, I think you could do well especially with your already respected on line business!

You pays your money, you takes your chance. Seeing your face Rob and that fist bump tells us you’ve got your result. Well done. 😊

I used to work close to a well known UK salvage yard. The way they moved cars around was crazy, I reckon the drivers door was damaged with a fork lift. They just didn't care.

Can see Chris and his partner enjoying this little beauty this summer!

To be fair. It makes for good content and shows what a good job you both do.

Always seems like these salvage yards are doing a lot of covering up these days good thing is that you guys are always completely honest & show all damage

its called maximizing profit, i stopped using eBay for similar reasons sellers covering things and sending items not as described, thankfully eBay have the buyer protection in place, but with these auctions its different and frustrating.

Man you guys are a joy to watch. I wish we had a duo like you lot here in the eastern US.

Rob when you had them 2 croc clamps close together... after taking them off the bmw ...and the van batt on the other end 😮

The roof is repairable, I had a guy who did mine a couple of years ago. He also did my leather seats on my old Saab.

I'm not a fan of BMW's but it's going to be awesome when it's had the SRUK treatment Well done guys

Great blend of honesty and positivity, It really does make your heart feel better. There's a good reason I've been subscribed since the early days.

Agree with Rob - one of best sounds is a BMW 6 - when that started up reminded me of every one I have had from e30 3series to e32/34 7's and 5's

With 45 thousand on the clock you have got a reasonable car. It would have been a really nice car if it was described correctly. Having said that I know you two will make it look really nice once again. A good honest video from two honest Gentlemen, not many left now it seems which is quite sad. 👍👍

Think you should put an extra video in this week showing the start of the build because I CANT WAIT FOR THE NEXT ONE!!!!😂😂

Great video guys, one of the best channels on KZread, keep up the great work!!!

You hit the nail on the head Rob very few honest folk left in the salvage game, thankfully you and Chris show how honest trading and repairing should be done, the rest are just quick bucks Dick Turpins 😂

Hello Rob and Chris,(always so laid-back and chilled out!!) what a surprise to see the car moving about on four wheels and the engine sounds great! Now you have the parts needed to get this car turned around and sorted. Best wishes from Lincolnshire

You just get better and better. Pure honest entertainment. I learn something mechanical every vid. Best wishes. From a 100% non techy!

They are good at taking the pictures I wrote a Focus off a few years ago. In the photos, the blown seat air bags were conveniently covered by the seat belts

Listening to the engine!!!!!!! You couldn't hear it, it's so bloody smooth. You guys will simply throw some of that magic Rob&Chris dust it it will be another beauty.

Great video lads! Always wanted to repair/sell cars after watching you two, I finally took the gamble and bought one on co part! Description said runs and drives got it delivered and the head gasket was gone 😢now I have my first head gasket under my belt and as of today the car runs sweet as a nut! MOT on Friday and Will be up for sale. Many thanks for being an inspiration wouldn’t have took the gamble if it wasn’t for you two!

Thanks!

Thank you John, that is very kind

These dodgy auction houses need to be accountable …if this was a straight car on a pitch for sale with undisclosed faults/damage they’d be taken to the cleaners! DESPICABLE BEHAVIOR!!

It takes real class to smile and say: "All that extra damage for no extra money"! Keep up the good work gents.

robs a gem getting all those parts.

Rob and Chris, Please never retire. Great fun the positive interactions between you even when some lying cheat has tried stitch you up. 10/10. Old school what the motor trade used to be like, I hope this one is a success.

You're the only two people that can turn a nightmare into a sweat dream. Total respect.

That previous owner has been a panel beater not long enough, Rob. 🙈😁 You two are Lone Rangers in a world of cowboys. At least the Beemer ended up with the right guys. 👍👍

Love the way you guys work together. Yeah, it turns out to be a basket case, but you just go on and move forward, and absolutely nothing go on unseen. It's so lovely to see, that know-how, craftmanship and an eye for details get the finish back in everything you do. Keep up that kind of work. In the end it pays of. Maybe not allways in money, but knowing that it's a hell of a good job done.

Pure entertainment. You both have the attitude of “lets just get on with it and do our best job”. You clearly love what you both do and it shows in your videos. The Ugly duckling will turn into a beautiful Blue swan 💪👌👍🏻

I'm sure that roof can be repaired it's only small hole 💪🐸✌️

Chris and Rob. Please don't change a thing. For those of us ex- pats around the world it is lovely to hear the waffle and banter.

This is going to turn out to be a lovely motor once it’s done. Glad to see you both smiling despite the lack of pics/info on it. Look forward to the rest of the series on this. Keep up the good work gents!

I’ve had two cars from Copart, both disasters. C5 V6 diesel, I’d spoken to the previous owner and knew the damage. Suspension on delivery was buggered and it had to be rebuilt at £1500 cost. Next car, DS3, clearly had wheels and tyres swapped before it was delivered to me. And costs - through the roof!

Love your sense of humor Chris and both your positive attitude

Rob and Chris You to guys have to be the most down to earth people iv seen You never have a bad word to say about anything or anyone Good luck ☘️to you

You can't expect everyone to be as honest as you two lads. Well done, you guys 😊

You are both consistently straight and honest, and I can't help but being incredibly impressed by your unvarying standards of repair and fair prices. If I was in the market for a replacement car, you would be my first choice. Well done indeed.

Poor old Chris is always the test pilot😂😂

Loved this one, Rob. Thank you.

What a great watch you two guys are. Your knowledge and ability with cars is truly amazing.

Good example of the risks of buying a salvage car at auction - seems like a complete lottery. Probably best left to the professionals like SRUK who are able to adapt to the situation if thinks don't turn out as expected! Looks like this one still has potential and will be put back togther to your usual high standards.

Had so many like this recently, I actually declined a car on delivery last week and Copart refunded me which was lucky, as it had a smashed window and extra damage since the photographs. However they’ve relisted it with the exact same photos again so someone’s gonna have the same problem😂

Beautiful job will be a great fix as always with SRUK😊

You soon bounced back from the disappointment, love your enthusiasm

Copart should be re branded Conpart, there are so many buyers in your position guys.....poor pictures and damage from the loaders and seemingly no comeback. I know you have to be careful what you say but it isn't right. Anyway, going to watch the video now 👍

Great video, Rob and Chris 👍

Big respect for you guys

Lads you’ll soon get your money back and I wouldn’t be surprised if you managed a bit more due to the low mileage and your craftsmanship which is always on point looking forward to the next video on this lads well done 👍

Yet another brilliant video. After the initial shock it’s great to see how Rob & Chris brainstorm to find the best workarounds. Fantastic channel and really great content. Top blokes 👍

Love Chris's attitude to the extra free damage. Until you guys drove it I wondered if it was another fail but looks like this could be a good un. Nice one.

9:27 rack end or tie rod. The track rod end is the bit with the ball joint. Every day a school day eh?

These are the type of videos I enjoy, also I feel others can relate and it is with grasp of many. Nice

Wow rob i am visually impaired wonder if theres any jobs going at that auction place lol keep up the great videos

I had a four year old 323i straight six E30 back when my children were very young. The engine was utterly smooth and quite superbly quiet. Still one of the best engines I’ve ever had almost over the last forty years and thirty odd cars…

".....and don't it sound lovely", great comedy timing, you ought to send that into Alan Partridge, he would love that😆😆😆👍

I wish I had these guys skills, so talented

yes! love robs face when he turns the key and she starts right up like a little kid at xmas!! great vids!!!

I just had a stolen recovered mini delivered from Copart Rochford by my own arranged transport , arrived with a badly damaged bonnet that in the Copart auction photos was perfect !! Of course Copart have decided that it is not their responsibility . So new bonnet required at £700 including paint .

Another little gem there guys, despite the extra work!, I can see that going quite quickly!! 👍

Good morning Rob and Chris, another great video, so much progress in such a short time. Looking forward to the next instalment. Thank you for taking the time to upload another video. Ged

Best of luck with all the ongoing projects there now 👍👍👍

It’ll turn out fine with you guys sorting it. I cringed tho when Rob held those two jumper leads in one hand when I assume the other ends were still connected to the battery in the van. 😱

Excellent video and to be fair Rob - it does sound awesome. Just the right time of year coming up for it as well. Someone is going to get a lovely motor. 😊

Work your magic lads…..love this show

Brilliant guy's well done

You guys are brilliant you just take it on the chin and get on with it,well done and keep up the great work.

Should be called the positive show with Rob and Chris even when faced with a lemon!. Love the word of the day.....Tadge. All the best.

Another cracking video,keep them coming.

Disappointing for you with all that extra work to do, but a bonus for us to watch! You will make it perfect, as always. 👍

Ive been a subscriber for ages & youve touched on something Ive been thinking. I have often thought of buying a repaired car but I wouldnt trust it had been repaired to an acceptable standard, never mind going above and beyond like you guys.

Disgusting that they can get away with this .They should be named & shamed & charged under the trades description act

Well done yet again Rob, that will be a lovely motor when done.

Some folk can't lie straight in bed Rob. You'll make it right though fella's.

Love the positivity. As you boys say, you take the rough with the smooth, that's life and we learn from being taken for a mug, hopefully.

Go on and do it guys you know it makes sense! Great Video boys "Thanks"👍

"....and I aint on about the 'air-dryer that just went past" - made me proper chuckle. Hat-tip to whomever was ringing the life out of the hair-dryer, go on son.

Nice looking motor, look forward to see the end result.👍👍👍
