[@philipnewton7524]

Rob you and Chris have done a nice job doing the facelft the van now looks cool for its owner Phil in stoke

[@tommytee8387]

No better way to start the day in these troubled times with a Salvage Rebuilds video ....Stay well fella's...

[@stevesrepairs3815]

Thanks for that one Rob, the van looks great, keep 'em coming mate. Take care you and Chris and your loved ones. All the best, Stevie

[@patreynolds7717]

Hi Rob I must say I do look forward too your videos You are completely natural never pretending to be something you are not. Lately you made a comment about not being the right time to buy something and that maybe you couldn’t afford it at present. Very few car guys ever admit the truth when they can’t afford something I like your honesty. Keep up the good work and stay safe in these worrying times. God bless and keep you safe regards Pat.

[@skodakatie7341]

The van looks so much better, the paintwork you did is amazing!!.

[@harrysgrand1]

Incredible how that paint covered red easily

[@KeiNovak]

good job with the paint

[@spencerwvcmoon]

Good that! Soooo tempted.

[@picklesrule69]

Can't believe how well that covered the red

[@stewartturner3181]

Great video as always. Very interesting and informative didn't know you had to activate those made up rattle cans 😁

[@trishanpatel6428]

Hello Rob thank you for the video it has helped a lot with my facelift on my sprinter van . Just wanted help with the headlight wiring to please ? I don't know which wire I need to connect to on my 2007 sprinter to make this 2016 headlight work.

[@mrtabs007]

Awesome video, just a question about the wiring if you didn’t make any change to it would the original plugs fit the new headlights minus the drl not working ?

[@claytonjacobs8686]

Great job. Can you share what major components you updated? Was the hood and fenders changed too? Would the hood latch brace needed or could your old one be used?

[@jonsmyth8353]

That can of paint looks like great stuff😀

[@jasonbounds8598]

Oh now you can tell when two guys love what they do, when they can work outside in the sunshine rather than be stuck in the workshop, a great video Rob and Chris

[@emmettkidd9829]

Hi rob great job just wondering where you get power for daytime running lights did you have to pit a relay in great video .!

[@peterdennehy4659]

Brilliant..but fogs would have being a nice touch.fine job tho.

[@MrChriso719]

A nice facelift 👍🏻

[@despaterson8918]

What are you looking at that to Wrap the van, couple of grand? Looks amazing well done

[@Ireland-bc2gx]

Great job,updated that van by a few years worth a few more pounds

[@khammered]

Always worth checking and marking the headlight aim against a wall before taking apart so you can get the replacement ones somewhere close

[@sruk]

khammered they are automatic 👍

[@markrent3269]

Is Chris camera shy? Get him involved 😀

[@Dr.ince888]

Hi thanks for nice video.I have some question.first how many cost the parts? how much cost the work? Thanks Matt

[@WessexmaintenanceCoUk]

Hi, you comment about soldering can you tell me a bit more about that, please? And can you list all the parts you used? So I can see if they have them at my local yard. Sorry if this has been covered already. Great job looks fantastic.

[@marcussharma]

The grill looks like it’s got LED lights in it. Are they amber flashing? Assumed so as light units on these facelifts have DRL’s built in.

[@junior4246]

hi rob do you know if the 2012 front end will fit on the 2003 sprinter ? nice job by the way

[@SpencLouis]

Loved this video thank you, I’ve got an older sprinter and thought about doing this. You have just made my mind up! Thanks again!

[@sruk]

Louis Spencer very very easy to do 👍

[@roryobrien948]

What did you do about the headlight wiring, rob? Do you have any guides/diagrams that you’d be willing to share

[@ebboxing8104]

What I did notice Rob was that Chris brought himself a chair out! Bit of theme here I think with him taking charge of the little tool chair as well.🙈.... but I guess we’ll allow that as he is quite handy sitting or not 🤣.... another good job fellas 👍🏻

[@sruk]

BBC Boxing you have to sit to solder mate 👌👍

[@ebboxing8104]

salvage rebuilds uk ...🤣I don’t begrudge him that chair mate he’s too valuable 👍🏻... you just have a sit down when you require it😱🤣

[@rafnauticcenterliege1236]

how did you do the headlight wiring? nice job

[@alfnsue]

Looks great 👍😎😎😎

[@vales_n_dales8174]

Hi Fellas, late to this particular party!… Can I ask how involved was the wiring adjustment on the headlights? Great video as always 👍

[@stu9070]

Nice one rob&chris keeping us all entertained mate

[@baldy65289]

I’ve got this to do this evening 2012 to this face lift my questions are do you not need to change the radiator? And the headlight wiring is it the same colour wires just a different plug ? Thank you for the video

[@JoleyTube]

Awesome! Did you get any error code from the new lights?

[@conceptrestoration1107]

Hiya great content, love looking every day. Quick question? Can a 2008 Mk5 Iveco Daily be converted to a later shape? Any ideas guys as can't find anything. Thank you

[@sruk]

Concept Restoration no idea mate sorry

[@tariqmamood286]

Hi Rob, great job. Do you know if you can skip a generation and have the new 2019 body kit or are the mouldings alot different?

[@sruk]

Tariq Mamood no idea sorry mate

[@deanno64]

Just watched this, a great video. Could you tell the name of the company you got the parts from please

[@TheMrcoolinuk]

Hi Rob. Does it have a same amount of cores and colours in the wiring loom?

[@richardpalmer219]

What did you do regarding the headlight wiring? Just done the conversion on mine but although the original plugs fit the headlight they don't operate
