2018 ACCIDENT DAMAGED VW POLO SALVAGE REBUILD PROJECT

[@davidavis8190]

Always a great video as you say rob it's only nuts and bolts , the second hand spares market must be doing a killing , You have to do what you have to do it's now mobile and frees up the ramp for another one, Happy days Keep up the good work guys 👍👍

[@johnmehaffey9953]

Nothing wrong with back to back videos guys, for me personally it keeps the continuity going and I don’t have to go back and watch the other vid to catch up, but then again I’m an old timer and the memory is just not as good, now where was I and why am I standing at the top of the stairs, 😇

[@johncouriermeh]

Rob, Why not try and finish the Range Rover to free up space in the workshop? After all it has been sat there now for a long, long time.

[@davidcook6064]

Speaking for myself, I don't mind how many videos a project runs to. I really like to see all the 'finishing touches', and some before and after shots. Good work as always guys. 👍

[@GaryB007]

It's all just nuts and bolts - remembering where they all go is the tricky bit 😀

[@MarkSmith-io3qd]

Glad I’m not the only one to use their knuckles when using a Costa Coffee touchscreen. 😂

[@kiphakes]

Love how Chris got that broken bolt out! What a smart guy. You're gonna fly through this one!

[@JohnHonda101]

This is my favourite Yoooo Tubee channel by far, I've been here since the start.

[@thebarleymow]

A previous KZbin of yours brought to mind that, a pocket laser pointer would be just the job for helping you identify the parts and damage that you are talking about. Great stuff guys.

[@johncoldwell340]

I have got out hundreds of snap bolts and seen loads of fake video on KZbin about snap bolt removal, I never once thought to do or seen that cheers for the top tip Chris 👍

[@andystephenson7157]

i would be surprised if no plastic was sucked into the engine before it was shut off.be worth checking with a camera down the plug holes.

[@callumhoskins4028]

Great to see Chris picking up the camera more & more, what a knowledgeable bloke. Great video guys

[@sonofedmund5004]

It's been quite a journey seeing Chris come out of his shell. Dude is so knowledgeable, he's probably forgotten more than I know!

[@andrewentwistle515]

Wow what speedy work Rob did on finding the Polo parts 🙂👍👍. It is amazing how quickly you striped the car & then got it sat back down on all 4 wheels. Congratulations to the both on such great work, here's to seeing the next episode of Salvage Rebuilds.

[@deanharriss2029]

Going to be a lovely little car this. I love when snapped bolts come out like that Chris it makes my Willy fizz. 😂😂.

[@nrgcarrington]

I actually rather like the videos back to back so you get a clear idea of how long the job takes. When you hop from one project to another the viewer loses track of progress. Just my 2p worth. Keep doing what you do 👍🏻

[@noordar786]

Hi everyone and welcome back to the channel

[@chriswilkes4350]

Lovely video. Happy to see it. Great work on the car, Rob. And Chris is now making additional video material - very interesting change of director there! I don't know how you keep everything straight, particularly the sequence of tasks when you put the cars back together. beyond my pay scale. Whether you do the same car or a different one is fine. We love them all.

[@mrdave9315]

Love the back to back videos Sometimes we forget the project's if it's to long

[@dandann8237]

Chris needs to remind us of the difference between 'new-second hand' and 'second hand- new' I think we know what you mean. This is the only way to start the week

[@tomstovell7425]

The dynamic duo strike again! Great vid again gents. Love the content you’re both putting out. Looking forward to this and the Audi being finished.

[@paulwalker427]

What a great bit of shopping

[@andyspencer1010]

Enjoying the content as always guy's 👌👌👌 see ya Wednesday

[@roypowell3450]

Nice job on the Polio! Is Chris still doing paper work😗. Thanks Rob for showing us how the Costa coffee machine works, very impressed...Take care guys and thank you, see you Wednesday.👍

[@davemurton736]

Back to back works for me mate, fresh in your mind, so no problem here 😀😀

[@topbanana39]

Let's geddit done no waffling lol 😆 just saw Chris get that bolt out bloody marvelous mate

[@davidbewick9208]

That bolt.......is it like the new secondhand battery?😀

[@thomassummerhill6357]

Always amazes me the vision you guys have . Turning a wreck into a viable machine and doing it proper Respect lads 👍

[@Unknown24182]

Great as always. Love getting home after a long day at work and watching sheer automotive brilliance 😊😙

[@vincentkelynack7453]

Looking lovely rob you and Chris are always professionals at what you do love watching mate

[@tomtodhunter1776]

I was glad to see an update of this car so soon. You've both pulled a blinder getting the parts and getting it rolling again. Even though the bonnet is bent, it's like a totally different car. Top work. 👍

[@paultaylor9652]

You definitely cracked on with that one Rob, great to see the wee Polo coming back together.

[@CampervanJon]

We need some "brand new second hand" SR tee shirt merch

[@alannock1358]

Don't worry about similar back to back videos, it's still interesting to see how different impacts cause different issues. Yet another interesting video. Thank you both.

[@joesoap2588]

Very interesting watching the removal of that snapped bolt. Great video chaps :)

[@acorndogs904]

We need a 5minute garage update Camper vans and the old ranges Along with all the kittle bits Chris buys at the boot fairs

[@bear1245]

👍🏻

[@stephenricketts7764]

Personally I don't mind back to back video's on one car but I get some won't like it. Chris you had a stroke of luck with that bolt, very well done. I don't know why they make plastic inlet manifolds it seems to be a false economy to me but that is how a lot of things are now. Very good progress on this one Gents she will soon be a runner. Thanks for another interesting video Rob and Chris. I fully understand it when you say you get satisfaction in putting them together. 👍👍

[@healey100austin]

Tip... As a scale modeler red bleeds thru,what we do is base it with Black or silver.

[@eskimojulie]

Just imagine if you done a few back to back on the Range Rover , it would give you so much more room in the workshop 👍🤣🤣🤣. Another great upload guys 👍

[@clivemoore4846]

Chris that bolt was lucky nice 1 get parts is good recycling rod indeed good job

[@ged3680]

Good evening Rob and Chris. Some excellent work in this video. Car coming on well. Lots of nice comments as well. Thank you for taking the time to upload another video. Ged

[@philtucker1224]

Rob, you’re probably the best hunter/gatherer in the business! (My old Mum used to say: “Look after the pennies and the pounds will look after themselves”) and you’re the proof of that mate! 👍

[@donalmoylan3562]

Love to see the classic range rover getting done

[@paullawrence8572]

Patients & Skill that's what you two have in droves! Another great vid Rob/ Chris!👍👌

[@alancrowley7991]

Well done Chris, great result with the broken bolt!! I have a great 70,s story of a broken bolt on the water pump impeller on a triumph Stag, I thought i am in trouble now, but ignorance easily sorted the situation!! Anything is easy if you know how!!

[@rabbitearsdotcc]

Getting that bolt out must have been soooooo satisfying!

[@thejackofalltravels8267]

You Gentlemen Kill me with these compact cars and 3cyl engines. As an American I say where is the rest of the engine? I truly wish they were sold here. The same car here would have a 2 liter engine or larger. What a lucky hit that took can’t wait to see the finished product. Thanks for sharing

[@philtucker1224]

You’re right Jack, and most of these smaller cars can do 60 mpg so getting very popular now!

[@stehaughton5074]

Crackin Video Fellers 👍👍

[@thegrimeater]

You guys need to do a salvage helicopter to use for Essex trips

[@freddavis5648]

looks so easy but we know knowledge is everything well done

[@MrNwapp]

So VAG want £480 + VAT for a plastic inlet manifold...now that really is taking the p%$$! Top work again on this one lads, especially getting that sheared subframe bolt out, and another great video.👍

[@tstuart7333]

Always great to see you both. Hard working two (2) feet on the ground guys. The productions are the best. Thank you for all you do to teach and entertain us.

[@alextripp1230]

Hi Rob and Chris, this one is coming together very nicely, great result on the broken subframe bolt. Alex.

[@ConnorA21]

fantastic video, thats what i like about you and chris you never tend to keep a damaged parts, its always replaced unless its really salvageable, but whats more salvageable is the amount of cars your saving from the crushers, your work is top notch, you do the repairs properly unlike cowboys who "****** up cars" and throw them though dodgy m.o.ts , you should think about opening up to the public to get there cars fixed by you and chris, or do like every few months allow a vote for someone to come with there car to be fixed on the channel? would be awesome thx rob, also get back on that boat lol wonna see it in the water

[@stevenjones19-m8i]

Hello Rob and Chris,nice progress on the VW Polo so far, suspension and wheel has made a difference already.

[@xj358]

Love it. Please go straight to episode 3.

[@Stop..carry-on]

I quite like back to back videos . Top work fella

[@paulbeecham8313]

Proper days graft there Rob, nice to see it back on its wheels, love the broken bolt drill out tip, goes to show we all keep learning cheers Chris 👍

[@ewanstewart8011]

It’s great when you can get parts within driving distance or even next day post, it makes life a little less complicated , great video Rob and great bit of luck with that bolt Chris 👍🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@chrisstyles4630]

Really coming together will be a very nice polo once it's finished excellent as always 👍👍👍👍

[@dongraham1559]

Always found left hand drill bits are really good for broken bolt removal. The heat generated also helps. Excellent content as always! 👍

[@sruk]

You mean easy outs

[@dongraham1559]

@@sruk No, not easy outs. You need a conventional drill to drill a hole first for an easy-out. I've then had an easi-out snap with a real stubborn stud. I mean left handed drills, a drill that cuts in an anti-clockwise direction. It will still cut a hole for say an easi-out, but chances are you'll never need one, as the heat and loosening direction of the drill will bring the bolt or stud out.

[@deniscarr469]

Yes really enjoyed tht one. Coming along nicely. Well done getting all those replacement parts so quickly and the car off the lift.

[@fastcars1972]

I love the way Chris is just so chilled and laid back and takes it all in and you rob are good at getting the parts your both so good I watch a few things on u tube but you two are so genuine love all your content

[@johnchincotta1qwdb15]

Superb video gents.Can't wait to see this vehicle finished.Chris always as methodical. And Rob as articulate. Both of you form an excellent team.

[@notanotherracingclub1967]

Chris had a right result with that snapped bolt there, nothing better then when you think your gonna have to drill and tap a large bolt out and it starts coming out freely!

[@chrisdavidson9431]

I know it seems like half of the country are strike, has Chris gone on strike too ? 😂He's been working you hard today Rob !! It's looking good already. 👍👍

[@stuartdenty3163]

Loved the engineering bit (pun intended) with Chris drilling out the bolt centre. Thanks both.

[@raymondpearce5245]

Well done Rob and Chris love all your video guys

[@johnturner4400]

You dodged a bullet getting that bolt out.

[@nevillemorley5926]

You're a good buyer, Rob. Good video.

[@niallmurphy7682]

This channel is like a drug lads i cant wait for the next video keep up the great work lads

[@zzhughesd]

Biggest steal in 2022. Rob and Chris you nicked it. Know the gal lad was to scrap it. Just a lovely little deal. The standing in value on this vehicle so sweet

[@ethancampion5931]

You’d be surprised the amount of cars that get sold for scrap price, just to not involve the insurance

[@dubiousricardo]

You don't mess around Rob and Chris! Nice one...again. Best channel going.

[@simonbailey2151]

Always a delight to have a solo from Chris! Well done with that bolt. Stroke of luck!

[@richardjones5255]

Great success on the essential repair parts, not suggesting the others are not vital, just that you needed the first ones to get it mobile and out of the way. You are lucky that the damage was almost entirely of the bold on, bolt off variety, making it an almost instantly mobile, example (except for some hard diligent work). Varying your output like this is great in my mind, if there is too long between part one and part two, other memories can cut across the sequence.

[@anthonydenn4345]

Great job guys. It's amazing what you can do with experience and know how. To most people this car is just a right-off. It's all a mindset I suppose. This sort of mindset is very reassuring and inspiring in these days and times. I wish I could say I also shared it, but hey, Rome wasn't built in a day, right 😃 Great content guys, thanks.

[@muhammadmungur9139]

Another Cracking video on the VW POLO. You and Chris have this stripped out all the parts such as suspension leg engine bed and the front slam panel. You’ve fit all the new parts on the car. You’ve cracked on with one lads like you always do no messing around. The car is finished to a degree that you can park outside. All you need is a bonnet and various other parts. The car is getting there. That front wheel looks bang on centre where it should be. No chassis damage which is good. It’s going to save you a lot of time. You won’t have to take the Jig out. Fabulous work guys.

[@Honky_Konky_Phooey]

Chris the magic metal whisperer strikes again 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@Stevesixty7]

I don't mind what order the videos come in Rob, every one you upload is great viewing, yeah we all love to see the finished article, but they come eventually. I always watch to the very end as well. Keep up the tremendous work Rob and Chris, this channel is growing every day, and rightly so. Spot on.

[@inchaseable1]

Was on the blower to silver lake last week, 36 and then 12 pound delivery to Scotland for a Suzuki swift passanger drive shaft, only had 1 in stock , went on eBay and found the 1 they were trying to sell me over the phone for £18 with free delivery, so I have it here in my possession now, so people on here just need to watch with that ,

[@brianbickle7395]

Buyer beware. As they say.

[@paulsouth3926]

Surprised you guys haven't got a set of "Easy outs" to remove sheared bolts and studs. Always found that they work a treat at shifting broken bolts and studs.

[@sruk]

We have

[@gdfggggg]

I used to use them on snapped exhaust manifold studs on truck engines. Worked a treat.

[@davidhowie6507]

I love how you will time lapse certain mundane bits but when it comes to something that you know we'll find interesting you show us. Nice one guys 👍

[@jimmy6754]

Lads yous are inspirational, too any car rebuilder out there, no stone unturned, or part replaced that needs it, the only words I can say is the A-Team. Even the resale of the cars yous don't go to town on, lads keep up the good workmanship, and wish yous the very best, love the videos, can't wait for the next one❤️👍

[@bear1245]

Cheers fellas 🧇

[@cabottaxi]

Coming together just nicely 👍

[@MrButtonpresser]

That Polo will be mint! (Sorry)

[@paultrew4270]

Great part 2, keep em coming like that 👍

[@Alexander_l322]

That will be a mint little car again soon enough. Great job by Chris getting that broken bolt out like he did.

[@jamesallen712]

Coming together nicely. Shows how small the damage area was. Good to get it off the ramp and rolling.

[@julianowens4071]

Nice to see the Polo back in action, pleased it’s going well

[@nai57]

Well done lads, another car just about ready!

[@jimmac715]

You got lucky with the broken bolt removal Chris. Gonna be another quick turnaround. Excellent content as always lads 👍

[@knobbyjones]

I'm sure if you got that range rover out of the way you could get sponsorship for another lift. Love your videos, don't care if it's the same car twice. 👍

[@jemmace2586]

Was interesting to see Chris drill out the bolt on the car in this one, as well as everything else he does of course! I've been driving a 09' golf for years, done all the work it's needed, servicing and age related part replacement. So the ARB bushings and suspension parts have been done by me as well, I've snapped a few of the T-T-Y Bolts and drilled them out using a 240v impact drill, the small one's that builder's use for breaking up small concrete area's or knocking brick walls down with. Then id retap the holes and use heli coils, which works great for me, good to see an alternative though, I try and always use brand new bolt's now as well, otherwise they are prone to just snapping off, I think the more those stretch bolts are used the more brittle they become.

[@skodakatie7341]

The Polo is coming along now, I can’t wait to see it finished, it is a lovely little car ❤️.

[@DavidJones-mn7ie]

The VW style triple square bits are good for hammering into holes in bolt to wind them out.

[@martinthompson54]

Hi rob and Chris another great video lads, from marty in Belfast northern Ireland God bless

[@leeloopy5850]

Rob don't forget to get the Polo back on it's wheels. Lololol

[@chrishines6048]

I'm glad that the damage to the car and the engine is not as bad and can be easily sorted out

[@danielwelch5479]

Chris had a right touch with the snapped bolt, looking like another bargain guys, if you fell into manure you'd come up smelling of roses, nice one chaps, looking forward to the next one 👌

[@graemew7001]

Considering how bad it looked at first sight, its actually turned out to be a sweet easy repair, all very straight forward and probably a pleasure to work one, be nice when its done.

[@deanmarskell1518]

As always another cracking video Rob and Chris the VW Polo coming along nicely great work guys and what a bargain car gonna makes someone happy keep up the amazing work love the channel and the brilliant work you both do ♥️👍👍
