Did We Make A Profit On The Scrap Fiesta ST 🤑🤑🤑

[@IanRMcAllister]

Loved this series! Always loved a fast Ford, and the "man with spanner and some skill" approach made it far more enjoyable. Glad to hear that we are getting another "Save a Scrap Car" series, they really make a big and positive difference to your channel Kev - Good Luck!

[@rampantram1]

what about the other 30-40 hes scrapping a week that some could be saved down to laziness and an inviting pcp deal that some could be saved @Ian R Mcallister dont they matter if they have not got a blue oval you seem to be blinded by.

[@IanRMcAllister]

@@rampantram1 What a foolish comment! He can only save one vehicle, and PCP's not exactly Kev's area of focus or expertise, just end of life vehicles. In this case, if you actually read the summary, he made a number of low cost and nil cost purchases to allow him to save the car/make his profit. Perhaps learn to read before taking the big step of actually being an adult

[@rampantram1]

@@IanRMcAllister i am talking about lazy idiots car it was where he collected it from that see a quick fix of buy another car on credit when they could have fixed the one they had.And oh what a bin lover you are...Cuckoo Cuckoo..

[@willcoleman9691]

Seeing you go down that B road is what I love about these cars, I have the ZS which is only 1.6 but it still puts a smile on my face when I do the exact same thing.

[@joem8213]

The new owner got an absolute bargain! Could have got 3k for all the work you put into it. But like you said it was a quick sale, you made money so everyone is happy!

[@cmartin_ok]

Someone got a bargain, you've not thought about adding in the cost of your labour to do all the work you did

[@benevans3733]

Hi Kev glad to see you working on the s t and hope you have been able to find a project

[@HR-od9fl]

Nice to see the ST saved,nice job mate 👍

[@mikeythefish46]

Good work Kev, looking forward to your next project.

[@CF21LDB]

Fantastic Kev well done. Just had my wind deflectors for my 2021 Citroen C4. Ordered them just before I had the car at the end of May but they were on back order, Even aftermarket company got them for sale before I had mine from Citroen nearly 3 months later%

[@jpond541]

Spotted your truck at scania southampton on thursday. 😎

[@KevTee]

You did indeed, having it's 6 weekly checkup, clean bill of health and tucked up back in the yard for the weekend 👌

[@matteovrizzi]

well done you're an inspiration, great work

[@nickcastleton7438]

Enjoyed that! And you made a profit as well, keep up the good work and keep safe!

[@richardhayes5423]

Hi Kev. I have the exact same car. Ur work is fantastic. I’m never selling mine but u have given me lots of ideas

[@davidsjenkins281]

Fab job I was thinking about buying a ford fiesta and doing the car 🚗 up I have recently scrapped 2 cars with Trent's I got a good price each time good. Work I can not wait to see the next project

[@roslynegould]

Can't wait for the next one..loved watching these, great job kev 👍👍

[@trudilm3864]

Excellent work, but it opens up major questions around our scrap system in this 'Green' nation.

[@sammytheseal2307]

Personally I would rather have the Fiesta over a Clio 172/182. But I maybe biased as I just don't like Clios and am a Ford guy over them all day long!! And that's regardless of the daft money the 172/182 seem to fetch at the moment, well a decent one that is. Get ready to be doing aux belt, dephaser etc as they are service items on them, (I'm sure you know already, aux belt takes out the timing belt as well when it fails) Best of luck anyway and I can't wait to see you work your magic on it 😁

Nice one kev, makes my £100 citroen diesel 6 years ago, still going strong, look like the bargain of the century.. Ok £75 on clutch but 58mpg 200k on clock and still going strong.... Looking forward to your next project.

[@JBdetails]

Hi mate what camera/cameras do you use for filming? Great content BTW currently revising for my theory/cpc test for my class 2. Jason

[@KevTee]

Mostly gopros and occasionally a cannon 200d. Good luck with the class 2 👍

[@JBdetails]

@@KevTee 😊 thanks Kev much appreciated, can you recommend a model of gopro so many old vs new hero 10 lol don't want to break the bank :)

[@steveyeoland1214]

@@JBdetails You could look at the DJI Osmo action cam, they are really really good for the money (still not cheap) i use one for MTB'ing and it has never let me down.

[@craigosborne6425]

Are you doing any more car repairs

[@ctiley2212]

That bumper is about to fall off, it looked very loose in the video as you were fitting the part and the gaps are all wrong under the bonnet and grill, even worse than Ford rubbish usually is, and that's bad.

[@cmartin_ok]

The "bumper" is just a thin plastic cover and although it's big, it is only attached in a handful of places. My daughter used to have a similar 2005 Fiesta 1.6; I was quite surprised at how few fixings held the bumper in place especially when you consider the force of air pressing on it at 70mph - but there is a substantial crash bar behind the central part, joining the chassis rails

[@jamie123b]

Fair play Kev altho front grills badly wanted spraying black! Done mine on my exact same ST as this and looks much better. Also these are going up in value a lot, some low miles ones on Autotrader at £6k+!!

[@llamedosr7843]

That looks more like RS fun

[@paulwatts2192]

See you can save a scrap car, to live on and have fun.

[@lenicemurrain8608]

you sound like a racing insructor mate

[@norm4260]

I would have kept it after all that work put in, the engine sounded mint as well. How many miles did it have?

[@rampantram1]

look on the mot history

[@ianmurray908]

Well done mate it looked good and that noise WOW

[@jbbumpkin]

The road to Warmwell, is good but next time have a go up Zig Zag Hill next time?

[@patrickrocks3312]

Another one saved👍. Keep up the good work Kev.

[@rampantram1]

you forget he picks up and destroys 30-40 cars a week a good half of them well salvagable to fix but for lazy gits and a pcp deal that looks inviting.

[@MrDennisDash]

I don't regard that £750 as profit. You put a lot of work into that Fiesta, and deserve some rewards for your skill and time. Same as for you tube videos, I know that filming and editing isn't a quick process and the kit isn't cheap. So we'll done Kev Tee.

[@jamie123b]

It literally is profit, that’s what profit is. You put hard work in, you get profit out. The more hard work, generally the more profit.

[@MrDennisDash]

@@jamie123b fair point if you're doing it as a project or hobby like Kev, but I value my time so would want to 'charge' an hourly labour rate in my costs like a business would.

[@sammytheseal2307]

Well, it wouldn't have been worth £2000 had it been squashed and turned into a Zanussi fridge 😂 I'd call that a success!!

That wiggly B road would be even better in a REAL Mini Cooper S (not one of those BMW things). The ST looked and sounded great as you hustled it along 😃

[@KevTee]

Thanks Rob, I'd love to get a go in a proper mini sometime 👌

[@18robsmith]

@@KevTee I'm sort of looking for one, but currently the prices for even half decent ones are beyond stupid 😞 If I do manage to snag one at the right price I could well be persuaded to head into your corner of the country for a reasonable fee (say a couple of mugs of coffee to wash down a couple of bacon butties) and let you have a blast on your fave B road (another round of the same)

[@KevTee]

Consider it a deal 👌

[@sammytheseal2307]

Whilst not technically correct for an ST, a GHIA grille with the silver-chromr surround would have set it off imo 😁

[@andrewellison1203]

Please do a land rover 🙏

[@rampantram1]

kev without sounding condescending but you make yourself sound like a real hipocrite with your statement of the car going to the crusher and what a shame it is you are doing that with at least 6 or 7 cars a day and but for peoples stupidity and mostly laziness a fair number of those cars could see another few years on the road.You just happened to of picked on that one "As special" like it has a divine right to be saved.I wonder if your next project has a blue oval on it by any chance.I wait to see what it is.Pleased you made a reasonable profit as i bought what looked like bargain non runner fords in the past to flip and they cost an arm a leg and a kidney at 5 and only 6 years old max to fix and sell on and two cost me a very slight loss.Hence i wouldnt touch another.You got very lucky to be fair with that cutout switch being the fault.

Only thing dont like about st is you cant adjust height of the seats apart from that nice car

[@MSI2k]

That was a great drive!

[@sammytheseal2307]

You mad fool, I've told you before you should have weighed in those 2 Hondas if it meant keeping the Fiesta 😉😉😉😂 At least the "pests" (to put it politely) won't be after the Cat on the Fiesta, you've got a double liability there! Jokes aside, if you kept it then you wouldn't be able to ever move on to another. Though I'm sure you will live to regret selling it in the future, and I'll always say I told you so 😂 haha

[@elizabethmaybrown6715]

That little ST sounded great, you take corners the way my Dad thaught me, brake going into the bend and accelerate out, look forward to seeing the next project car and can we have an update on the Volvo FH Globetrotter model please?
