Superb job on that bumper, if you didnt know it had been filled you wouldn't notice it...very nice!! Keep the work coming in! 👍🙂

[@ResurwreckAutosUK]

Thanks Steve nice one it does look good I’m pleased 👍👍

[@benevans3733]

Hi mark that’s brilliant that you have had another customers car and the rear bumper repair looks really good and hope you are staying safe and well and another brilliant video

[@ResurwreckAutosUK]

Thanks Ben appreciate it and I am staying safe I hope you are aswell 👍

[@joemckinnon7947]

Hi Mark, Good to see you gettin in about the basic stuff that you have to do to keep the money rolling in. Without getting to look too close i'd say not a bad job you made of it too. As you said ... amazing how long this kind of stuff takes ... but its all good experience.

[@ResurwreckAutosUK]

Thanks Joe nice one buddy 👍👍

[@tonyc2837]

What 20 grand , it’s done nearly 200 thousand miles. Very brave anyone that invests that amount of money.

[@Alexander_l322]

Yes once it’s converted to LHD and lost miles on the boat on its way to Eastern Europe then it will be worth it 🤣. Right now on eBay there’s ones for 16k and up in the UK. No idea what these go for in other countries.

[@james-oo7qj]

It probably wont have 200,000 when it's over in Poland 😂

[@bmwman1981]

@@james-oo7qj it will get a nice shave on the mileage most likely

[@adamfavsvidc]

Goodbye mileage hello poland. Lmao.🤣

[@pw9062]

No way is it going to be converted from rh drive to lh drive and have a respray and be a money maker , I was interested to watch until it was going to be “converted” . Mileage will be altered and if it’s worth even half the effort I’ll be more than surprised .

[@TheSjd001]

Good job done Mark. Was worried for a moment but turned our really well. Would be good to see this car on the car. It not a fiesta. Lol.

[@ResurwreckAutosUK]

Thanks mate i do love a fiesta its like buying gold you can't loss 😂

[@waynerountree9284]

Something different for channel great content matey as always thanks for sharing

[@ResurwreckAutosUK]

Thanks Wayne nice one a little different 👍

[@alancampbell1008]

When you're using fibreglass matting in the future mate use more than one layer and really ladle resin on to make sure it all changes colour that way you have a better chance of it sticking long term, there seemed to be a fair amount of white showing round the edges of your patch. I'd have been tempted to cut that out to a square, used a piece of scrap bumper (you must have some) cut to shape then plastic welded/hot stapled it in then just a smear of filler rather than a big lump that will sink, being supported by a weak fibreglass patch which I guess will fall out....maybe before he gets it too far from you!

[@ResurwreckAutosUK]

Thanks for the info Alan I will buddy nice one 👍👍

[@philipnewton7524]

You have done a good job of those holes mate and the colour match looks fine the owner should be please with that and put more work your way on this car Phil in stoke

[@ResurwreckAutosUK]

Thanks Philip nice one buddy hopefully the owner is happy and I get some more work from it 👍👍

[@Rick-sl7iw]

14 plate M5 for 6 grand very cheap I know it’s high miles but well serviced being ex police good job on the bumper mark good to see more work coming through the door 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@ResurwreckAutosUK]

Thanks Rick nice one buddy 👍👍

[@gerardharland6328]

The clip on the side of the tunnel is for a life hammer for smash glass and has a blade for seat belts✌️

[@ResurwreckAutosUK]

Thanks for the info buddy 👍👍

[@unionflag9609]

That bracket in the footwell is for a life hammer.There usually orange in colour and shaped like a mini hammer,the head has metal domed ends used for breaking glass and at the end of the handle is a partly guarded blade to cut the seatbelts.Its used to release anyone trapped in a vehicle.It should be positioned in the middle of the roof lining so all occupants has access to it,I've had one in my car for 20 years and fortunately never had to use it

[@ResurwreckAutosUK]

Hi Simon thanks for the info i was just saying what he told me 👍👍

[@unionflag9609]

It did make me laugh when you said you'd been told it was for a gun.

[@mcvicer]

What a lovely bmw

[@chrisclegg3711]

Cracking job , looks great to me 👍

[@ResurwreckAutosUK]

Thanks Chris I’m having a go Nice o e 👍👍

[@fishhead1844]

Nice little job m8👍, just a little tip I’ve done on a bumper or 2 was to cut a peace off a damaged bumper and use stick like sh🇬🇧t To hold it on cheap as chips repair, bit cheaper then fibreglass 👍looking forward to the next video m8 👍🍺🇬🇧

[@ResurwreckAutosUK]

Thanks for the info buddy appreciate it 👍👍

Well done looks cool fella

HI Mark great video nice BMW whats happening with the white car and the paint

Hi Stephen i do have the white car back still not happy with it i will do a video on it soon 👍👍

[@JohnCarverUK]

Had a great weekend with the family in Blackpool :-)

[@ResurwreckAutosUK]

Nice one John good times 👍

[@simondolywern55]

Hi ,nwould have been nice to see you painting it. Did you use rattle cans ?

[@ResurwreckAutosUK]

Hi Simon sorry buddy I didn’t show that was running out of time and the end yes mate just rattle can looks good 👍

[@newbridgecarsales9695]

From bca Kinross loads of these sold couple of weeks ago all Ex police

[@ResurwreckAutosUK]

Nice one buddy this might be one 👍👍

[@pm1104]

Any reason why you didn’t use bumper flexible filler.....?

[@normanstephens5391]

Hi Mark. I know its what the owner asked for and he paying you but I may have suggested fitting after market Reflectors or some kind of extra LED lighting to Cover the holes which would make the vehicle that bit different to a buyer. In case he does, want you to do some extra work can I suggest watching "Saving Salvage" He recently had a Decommissioned Ex NHS Skoda Octavia to work on with similar problems. Holes,Wiring, Roof Bars etc. Cheers.

[@ResurwreckAutosUK]

Thanks Norman just doing what the customer what’s but good idea 👍👍

[@paulorrell5942]

Something different and word of mouth will spread for ur business 👍

[@ResurwreckAutosUK]

Thanks Paul nice one buddy 👍👍

[@Michael-m4y]

Hi Mate that would have so much easier if you took the bumper off

[@ResurwreckAutosUK]

Hi Michael you are prob right and a load more work 👍👍

[@reecettaggorf]

3:40 ... It's the mount for the glass breaker. The pistols are attached in drop-leg holsters.

[@adamfavsvidc]

Not a fan of these bodgy repairs. Rather you concentrate on better legit repairs. Still entertaining though.

[@barryrathbone]

Love the reg NicKeD!

[@alanparis7256]

Great video but all that work when it would have been easier to put 4 x rubber grommets in back bumper. Keep up the good work

[@ResurwreckAutosUK]

Thanks Alan just doing what he pays me to do 👍👍

[@twrixxed7353]

Nice number plate lol

[@DashDriver-z1r]

The thing in the front passenger footwell is not gun related and often left. It a safety hammer mount. The hammer is normally orange with a glass head and a seatbelt cutter should the vehicle be damaged. Any gun safes are either in the rear passenger area or boot, they have to have guns on them or in a safe.

[@ResurwreckAutosUK]

Thanks for the info buddy appreciate it 👍👍

[@bmwman1981]

It’s a lot of work to convert that to left hand drive I’m sorry it’s a base spec x5 with little to no options it’s not worth the effort

[@james-oo7qj]

Easy to put on m sport bumpers, bigger wheels and leather interior and itll look the part, also it's being taken to Europe so there'll be good margin in this

[@ResurwreckAutosUK]

HI mate it is a base spec model i think all police cars are

[@bmwman1981]

@@ResurwreckAutosUK that’s my issue with ex police bmws they are never a decent spec and have been trashed from cold

[@fru1t1]

👍👍

[@alanbartlett9523]

Waste of time buying ex police vehicles, most have been to the moon and back plus they need too much spending on them.

[@ajcomer3959]

would of been easier to bond a plate inside

[@perrycooper3530]

Bud for that sort of small job you know you buy p38 body filler others available cheeper this is just to get to my point you can also buy p40 it’s a fibreglass compound like filler but it’s fibreglass mixes same way spread on some 2” masking tape place inside bumper it turns like a pinky red once mixed ok back to placing into back of bumper using your mixing spatula gently spread out wile it’s still on the masking tape on the sticky side or if can’t get in use fingers just enough for it to poke through holes then leave still with tape on because the smoother the better it will start as going hard to get hot once set it will be like concrete but sand just like filler you can then leave or remove the tape it will be like glass after removing the tape no sanding required behind then you have the option if you like to do the same with the front just wile it’s going off the thinner you get it the less sanding before now Iv use a grinder just to flick it down faster then thin film of filler the rest you know just another way for speed obviously you can use in place of the tape that’s just another way of holding it in place wile going off some fibre glass sheet just for it to bond to but the way I mentioned just for speed and less messing around it’s the fastest way hope it helps if not on this job because you will probably have done it before reading this but it might help for future problems it’s fantastic for using on backs of split bumpers to and many other similar jobs keep it up and keep safe 👏👏👍😉

[@perrycooper3530]

Ps you can also use a fine mesh sheet to if you’re needing extra strength ie near parts that need the strength corner or to join splits 😉

[@perrycooper3530]

Yes I’m talking wire mesh 😉

[@ResurwreckAutosUK]

Thanks for the info Perry appreciate it buddy 👍👍

[@johnmccarthy-jones9463]

Mark don't get involved with the left hand drive conversion it's an absolute nightmare to do guy by me used to convert cars from left hand drive to right hand drive and went bust in 3 months

[@ResurwreckAutosUK]

Thanks John I’m not getting involved in that buddy nice one pall 👍👍

[@charleskay1663]

theres a far easier way to do that use fiberglass jam its like body filler mix up spread thin on a plastic bag stick to bumper pat bag flat and smooth out when set pull bag off far less messing about

Not you the owner. 20k in Poland they must be desperate for motors.

[@ResurwreckAutosUK]

@@lardy600 think that’s why copart is so expensive shipping them to there

[@altec2126]

Lol that filler work will just sink in later on, always happens when you tend to cover up holes regardless of what you put behind it.

[@Tuck7117]

Made no sense bumper was 90% off Just made more difficult for yourself leaving on like that. The hardest bits get off are arches and popping lights, only left studs along underside and popping clips for sensors. That is boot is prob a ballistic plate incase weapon neg discharge in transit so driver doesn't get a slug in his back while in pursuit

[@stanktail]

Get the motor ecu tuned, egr delete, catalyst deleted. Huge horsepower and torque gains, huge. That nonsense about convert to left hand drive? Sheesh just get a different car.

[@Horizon301.]

Another issue is the fact that it’s the authority spec so surely the value would be even less. Cloth seats? 🤢
