Classic Car DIY Rotisserie Spit Finished + HA Viva Trial Run ???

[@terrywilkins5266]

Absolutely tremendous job by Chris. Is there nothing he can't do ? Well done both of you, Chris, for his use of scrap pieces and, your film work which shows step by step how it was done. Unlike other channels that have more rabbit than Sainsburys, you go into depth of what is happening right from the start and, as you say "let's crack on ". Keep up this excellent channel Rob.

[@alcasey3551]

Both of you are amazing but Chris is on a different level from anybody else. Let's see some of his talents that we know of: Master mechanic, master body repair tech, master machinist, equipment design engineer, painter, farmer, tree removal expert, carpenter and does all to perfection. A master of all trades!!!!

[@sruk]

Thanks Al

[@elizabethmaybrown6715]

Chris is the Fred Dibnah of the 21st century! Great bit of work there! My Dad had skills that he kept pretty well hidden and I think I may have inherited some of them, stay safe both of you

[@TheMilos71]

Chris a job Well done. Always knock them out of the park. With Rob's commentary and 'Waffle' endings added into the mix a You Tube team hard to beat. Always look forward to your content. Again Well done.

[@kenhunter9871]

Good seeing Chris on camera more, he is a genius and his skills should be shown in more detail like this video ,ideas are banging . Great engineering skills pleasing to watch .

[@chrisyoung5573]

I love the fact that there is next to nothing left of the viva parts car, not even an engine but the keys are still in the ignition lol

[@michaelmelbourne6688]

Car keys were useless back then it was so easy for car thief's

[@stevewhite1444]

I thought that 😂

They are rusted in the ignition, can't get them out. I like the optimistic 100mph on the speedo.

[@HowardLeVert]

When I see Chris making stuff like this out of scrap, I am so reminded of my late father; if you gave him an idea and some scrap metal, something would get made from it. Just brilliant.

[@Billym247]

This was such an interesting project - hats off to Chris for turning his drawings into a reality. That’s some serious skill and knowledge to build that. Saved a fortune as well, great content guys!!

[@phire2000]

Lads your content is second to none, no other channel on KZbin is even close!!

[@geoffcrowther-smith6960]

There is something about you guys that makes you very watchable. Keep it coming

[@grahamhunt1169]

Fantastic work Chris - seriously impressive. Two things i'll never forget from getting my Escort on a rotisserie (bought not made, sorry). 1. The first spin is very nerve wracking! 2. The sound of rust, washers & bolts rattling from one to side to the other!

[@East_Anglian]

Chris was in the original 'A' Team. We love it when a plan comes together ;)

[@gc5384]

I still ain’t getting on no plane

[@richhelm21]

Chris is a clever as heck. He makes this sort of thing look so easy. Skilled bit of engineering right there, makes the rest of us feel a bit inadequate! Great video Rob.

[@MrMarkusmonkey]

Always great to see old cars getting the tlc they deserve Chris, wish the best getting it finished !

[@johnhaggerty4257]

I'v said it before. Chris. A clever clever man. A star you are. What an imagination & talent. Well done you. The two of you. An absolute joy to watch. THANK You.

[@DalekBuilder]

Rob with the work you and Chris do it puts the other KZbin and even some of the TV car restoration/rebuild shows to shame. Keep up the good work and cant wait to see the project viva on the rotisserie and work started.

[@justinmills7786]

Massive shout out to Chris for his ingenious invention. Amazing to see how something so helpful to you guys can be made from scrap! Brilliant. Shout out to you Rob for standing your ground on the camper van!

[@Bigwormox4]

I love this channel! Been here since the beginning. I hope you guys go on for many more years. What a dream team 🚗❤️

[@robertselkirk674]

Good Evening, Chris and Rob, I've really enjoyed watching this video, it's so nice to see a proper Engineer and Craftsman making something out of scrap; it would be so easy to just go out and buy a flash machine, but to make it is so much more satisfying. Well done Chris !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Keep up the good work lads, I am really enjoying all the different videos; including the Silverlake tour. And still, everyone; Stay Safe !!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@peterchildress7719]

Chris is one of them people who can see what is needed,and can make a plan in his head,then execute the project to a standard better than something off the shelf.love it .rock on.🤗

[@davidminns9799]

Fantastic Chris😀 you need your own TV series all about engineering and making stuff. Would like to spend a few days wandering around your brain it must be so full of ideas, solutions and drawings. Brilliant 👍

[@Lenkilburn]

Well done Chris what a great job you’re done you are a man that can make things happen it’s a pleasure to watch you work

[@chriscjt1238]

Great job Chris, we wouldn’t have expected anything less 👍🏼 always remember taking my Capri to my brothers place of work (industrial welders) back in the day to get him to weld up my exhaust, went to get him a coffee and when I came back, him and 3 mates had rolled it onto its side resting on some old tyres and were welding up the exhaust! Proper old school! 🤣🤣

[@themayorofdipshittery3646]

We used an old mattress for those type of “special” jobs 😂👍

[@josephmccullough6685]

Brilliant video Rob and Chris. You never disappoint. Chris's metal work teacher would be proud of him 🤣👍👍👍

[@TheGrimSleeper7]

Love you 2 lads and the way you work together. Rob's a great host; and Chris could make opening a can of soup interesting. Keep up the great work, chaps 👍

[@MrButtonpresser]

Up there for thinking, down there for dancing! Good job Chris.

[@lesrogers7310]

There never was any real doubt that the rotisserie would work. Well done Chris!

[@markmorgan4837]

Superb. Great to see some real old school engineering in the making.

[@duttontube]

That is a work of art fellas, well done! My dad and I wanted to do something like this 30 years ago on a mini I was restoring, we gave up, braced the shell with some angle iron and rolled the car onto an old mattress for welding the floor. Did the job 😁

[@Wingineer]

Chris is an amazing engineer.

[@Hassan123H]

Nice work Chris, can’t wait to see you back on the LSE and the Golf !

[@robertmitchell8423]

Excellent video chaps. I did make the mistake of googling “spit roasting an old banger” to show my wife what Chris was up to……….. seems that’s entirely differently rated content! No tea for me tonight.

[@smiffy5467]

Takes me back to my HC Viva, the days when Vauxhall used old food cans to build cars.. My mate also had the Viva HC Droop Snoot I think it was 2.3ltr and a handful of trouble... Seems all you were doing on weekends then were car repairs.... Nice work Chris, a very handy tool to have. 👍🇬🇧

[@chrissaunders9554]

Excellent job there, Chris.

[@adrianmassey6673]

Proper engineering and ingenuity. Bet Chris could get that Viva welded up and a fresh MOT by the end of the week if he wanted!

[@mattlongley3656]

Well done Chris, look forward to seeing your work on the Viva

[@itsmephil2255]

In the next video...."Chris has finished the welding" Said in Robs voice

[@iandyson2176]

lovely to watch Chris doing what Chris does he's definitely a keeper Rob

[@starman9921]

Chris is the man to go to. I've said before I'll say it again. Reminds me of my dad he was exactly the same won't go into it but the things he made to restore classic cars. And other machinery.

[@siweljdforp]

No apologies required, Rob, appreciate all of your updates and this one was brilliant from start to finish. Chris's conversion from head to pen & paper, to working rotisserie was a study in pragmatic design and careful execution. That Viva is toast, so now you can put the Ox on to roast!!

[@paultripp1377]

What a clever boy, every household should have a Chris i reckon.

[@michaelgoode9555]

Lovely 60's car there Chris. I personally would like a Morris / Austin 1100 / 1300 or a Ford Anglia 1200 but all those cars have character. I'll be hanging on to every moment of this restoration.

[@MH-wg6bz]

Your rotisserie looks fantastic. I especially like the power feature to turn the chassis. I used a rotisserie to restore an MG Midget. You would be surprised how handy it was to have the car upside down to repair some issues on the bottom. And having the car upside down gave me a perfect table to lay my tools. It's surprising how light a monocoque body is with the axles and engine removed.

[@davidcloke5057]

Yet another great video I was under no illusion that it would work Chris's attention to detail is second to none and everything is planned to the last detail. Well done on a very informative and interesting video superb

[@sdstube8061]

Great to see Chris in more videos. He's a great grafter.

[@Bootneck-RMC]

I have said this before, but I'm going to say it again! Chris is a bloody Magician, when it comes to making these things work. I don't think there is another KZbin channel that has anyone as skilled an engineer as Chris is. There may be one (possibly two) that come close, but they are not on the same level as Chris. 👏🏻👍

Thanks Bud

Great work yet again Chris. Rob how rude and cheeky is the other gentleman but that's a great lesson to learn "buyer beware".

[@StevieTyrrell]

Being a wet Wednesday I'd sat though 3 episodes of 'Bangers and Crash' back to back, but needed some proper entertainment and you guys did just that. My old ring was in time with Robs as the old Viva turned on its side. Brilliant!

[@recyclingelectronics-]

Chris what an absolute legend your knowledge of mechanics and engineering is priceless . Even bought a tear to my eye . Your creativity is amazing . You remind me of my father very similar to yourself always would come up with a way of saving money or making something to get jobs done on cars or anything really . I thoroughly enjoy watching you and Rob you both are very amazing guys and I thoroughly enjoy every think you do you are a big asset to KZbin and Chris keep doing what you do The channel would not be the same without you.
