[@stevenjones19-m8i]

Can't beat a cleaning video,the engine bay and bodywork looks clean,what a difference.the new project has it rough,but another cool one to watch.

[@DaveRebuilds]

Thanks as always dude 👍🏻

[@michaelstevens7533]

Always a pleasure watching you dasi. Never boring

[@DaveRebuilds]

Very much appreciated dude 😃👍🏻. need to get some of these cars fully fixed and sold as I’m running out of funds and space on the driveway 😂

Excellent work as always @Dasi's Garage. Can't wait to see what you do with the VW

[@DaveRebuilds]

Thank you👍🏻, much appreciated!

[@paultaylor9652]

Scrubbed up not too bad considering the life it's led so far Scottie.

[@DaveRebuilds]

For sure!! Can’t wait to get it machine polished, should sparkle after that 👍🏻

[@adevickers4407]

She will look great after a polish the shine will be awesome 😎

[@DaveRebuilds]

Yeah think so dude. Hoping quite a few of the scratches will come out as well 😃👍🏻

[@BadgerBoik]

Exciting new project. Can't wait to see how you tackle the key scratches. I have key scratches on my own car but to nervous to try unless I make a mistake.

[@DaveRebuilds]

Thanks dude! Yeah I’m curious how I’m going to tackle the key marks as well 😂😂. Will be sure to include it in a video to help anyone out that has the same issue 👍🏻👍🏻

[@carguy7797]

This video calmed me from all the things I'm stressing about. Great video 👌

[@DaveRebuilds]

Thanks dude! Glad you enjoyed it 😃👍🏻

[@DJ-ht1ty]

The fiesta looks much nicer after been detailed 👌. Would love one as a first car. Great video 👍. Looking forward to to the next one 🔥

[@DaveRebuilds]

Yeah it cleaned up pretty well. Just need to get it machine polished now and it’ll be super shiny 😃👍🏻. Mk2 RS video next week, should be a good one 🤞🏻

nice video Dasi........too short but enjoyable my friend

[@DaveRebuilds]

Thanks dude. Yeah I was a little rushed this week and it showed in the length of the vid. Next weeks will be more involved 👍🏻👍🏻

Coming along nicely pal👌

Thanks dude

[@jamesanketell-jones5600]

great content and fiesta looks like it just needs detailing focus as you say focus on cold start how ive missed mine on cold start tomorrow im back yet the valeter has let me down and not turn up the transporter will keep you busy.stay safe

[@DaveRebuilds]

Thanks dude! Yeah the transporter is a total mess, but looking forward to the challenge it brings 😂

[@skodakatie7341]

Great video, really enjoyed it❤️.

[@DaveRebuilds]

Thank you 😃👍🏻

[@farnys_projects6722]

Sounding like binding brakes due to being sat for a while bud. Also be careful no water got in the fuel system. Isn’t there a cap on this one? Great content. Would watch you wash cars all day lol. Love the Scottish accent and passion fr cars too mate! Keep it up bud👍🏼

[@DaveRebuilds]

Thanks dude much appreciated! Yeah brakes are really rusty from having sat around for so long in the auction yard I think. Na the fiestas don’t come with a cap, but they have a really clever bypass that stops any water from getting in the fuel from what I’ve read 👍🏻😃

[@christianvann4222]

Vw bus! Yes 👍

[@DaveRebuilds]

😃, I’ve wanted one for sooo long, couldn’t resist it when it came up at auction lol

Shit there is some serious paintwork needed on that VW!

[@DaveRebuilds]

Yup there sure is, it’s trashed! And half the dash and steering column are missing, can’t wait to get started on it 😃👍🏻

@@DaveRebuilds OK cool, I have changed mine from an ancient K2 (10+ years old) to the K4 and that made a big difference too :)

[@DaveRebuilds]

@@richardspice2334 yeah the k4 is a great machine as well! Just remember when doing engine bays etc to set it to its lowest pressure and don’t get too close to the parts under the bonnet, last thing you want is to soak all the electrics 😃👍🏻

[@chrisclegg7156]

Could you please tell me what spray you used for the Engine bay , Thanks 👍

[@DaveRebuilds]

I just use meguiars APC (link in description of the vid if you want to check it out) diluted 5:1 with water 👍🏻

[@browney89]

Those alloys and tyres need some tlc

[@DaveRebuilds]

Yeah all 4 tyres are toast 🙄, just need to order a locking wheel nut key and get them replaced 👍🏻, might just do the wheel refurb myself but will wait and see 😃

[@DaveRebuilds]

@@gold4leaf yeah there was a bit of frame damage from the crash, but it got straightened out, just took a little longer lol. Yeah 4 on the go at the moment, but hopefully the RS and ST will be going up for sale soon as I’m running out of savings to pay for it all lol

[@imraan2320]

This episode felt too quick, good stuff as always mate 👍

Hi dave you never get tired of hearing the RS start up, the festi is coming along nicely, are those designer scratches on the vw😂😂, man it looks in a bad way

[@DaveRebuilds]

Yeah I don’t get bored of hearing it fire up either 😂. Yup, they are dirty wanna be thief designer scratches lol. Basically the van refused to get stolen to they set about it with a screwdriver! It’s going to take some work to get it looking mint again 😂👍🏻

What year is the car? Is it the metallic panther black or the non metallic they did for most 16 and 17 plates. Thanks

[@DaveRebuilds]

It’s a 17 plate dude, Pretty sure it’s the non metallic 👍🏻 which makes it slightly easier to match when painting the door handle lol

YAY another video! Wine time and settle in for the next 10 mins :) Hope you are keeping well and staying safe dude

I am indeed dude, hope you are too 😃👍🏻

[@1980MrDogg]

Great video as usual. What is the product you clean the engine bay with? Is it the same stuff you used on the interior? Cheers. 👍

[@DaveRebuilds]

Thanks dude! Yeah it’s the same stuff as I use on the interior plastics, it’s just APC dilute differently (slightly stronger for the engine bay)👍🏻

[@TheGoproGK]

I love these videos bro

Thanks dude, much appreciated 👍🏻

[@bluebillbo]

At 9:15 when you move the Fiesta ST there is a grinding noise... Happens again at 9:20

Don’t worry, it’s just the brake discs, once it gets on the road and the brakes get used a bit, it’ll go away 👍🏻

[@md-detailing]

The fiesta looks great after a detail Dasi. Btw how do you stop your wippers from juddering? is it because of the glass sealant ? :D

[@DaveRebuilds]

👍🏻 thanks dude! Juddering wipers is usually down to the rubber in the wipers being a bit brittle, I usually just give them a wipe with some soapy water and it should stop it, if not you may need to get some new wipers depending on the age of them?

[@md-detailing]

@@DaveRebuilds theyre bosch aerotwin,bought them in april

[@DaveRebuilds]

@@md-detailing definitely not old then 😂, give the windscreen a clay bar just in case there is any contaminants causing the judder 👍🏻

[@md-detailing]

@@DaveRebuilds since i cant buy a clay bar,need to order it and they dont have them in stock,can i use alchocol or alchocol vinegar? :D

[@DaveRebuilds]

@@md-detailing you can yeah, but it won’t be quite as effective. Make sure to spray it onto the cloth not the windscreen as neat alcohol will stain and rubber or plastic it touches 👍🏻

I do auto detailing
