[@philtucker1224]

Rob & Chris, speaking from a technical aspect, that was one of the most fascinating videos to watch! You lads are genius and should be very proud of the standard of work you both achieve. Nice work 👍😊

[@eightfivetwohk13]

Phil totally agree, it’s like Batman and Robin climb a wall.

[@jemmace2586]

Genii

[@fookdatchit4245]

We just saw decades of dedicated experience past down from father to son and then executed in a professional and entertaining format. What a video lads, a big thumbs up to you both.

[@martynsharp4962]

I have spent 45 years working in the motor trade and thought I was knowledgeable, but I am in awe of Chris and his knowledge and skill I could watch jim all day. Another great video.

[@philipadams4043]

Those boys got shot of Jim, he took 1 hour getting 2 coffees 🤣🤣🤭

[@robertebob3596]

You guys are becoming quite professional you tubers , the quality of your content and delivery is just top notch. Not just great viewing but so educational , keep it up guys.

[@garyd7737]

There are far too many negative and incorrect opinions by the misinformed who think salvage is bad. You have and continue to do a fantastic job signposting this with factual and detailed content. By showcasing the correct and insurance company/OEM standards to repair damage, it will hopefully educate those in doubt. Great work Gents, love the content and the builds👍

[@bluesky4733]

Love these type of videos like watching a jigsaw coming together. And not a car vertical in sight 😉

[@djdrwatson]

0:13 8:03 So funny hearing new viewers think you're going to do a botch job! 🤣 Us long subscribers know you're going to do an outstanding and professional job. Great work so far.

[@andymccabe6712]

It's people's perception of the motor trade - unfortunately..... It's a complete shock to find someone doing a proper job - and NOT charging a fortune.......!

[@djdrwatson]

@@andymccabe6712 I know! Honest mechanics doing professional, high quality work - who would've thought it! They've previously repaired two Fiestas that were botched up by other people before they came to the workshop.

[@jimmcculloch3786]

What a great video. Chris is a PhD at what he does with vehical bodies !! :)

[@johnchincotta1qwdb15]

Gent's you don't cease to amaze me with the high standard of work and repairs you perform on these damaged vehicles.

[@grahamkingston980]

This is hard-core repair work. Fascinating to watch.

[@crisfiler6128]

Its amazing how the metal pops back into shape if pulled in the Right direction and at the Right angle.... All down to experience, well done you two 👊👊

[@alextripp1230]

Hi Rob and Chris, fascinating to watch the alignment pulling on the chassis, Chris certainly knows how much to pull/not pull. Great idea to get the complete front end so you have everything you need in the one spot as you need it. Cheers, Alex.

[@JD-tk2uu]

The master at work, Chris giving us another 'master class' in straightening chassis legs.

[@steveegginton535]

Whilst I had heard of jigging and pulling for accident damged cars I I didn't know what it involved until I watched your videos - really interesting and informative - appreciate the detail you go into when you are doing the repairs. Looking forward to the rest of the rebuild on the A1.

[@matthewc.419]

Thanks for the slow mo on the bend !!! Metal facinates me i studied metallurgy at college ......

[@leedstown]

Last time I saw a pair of legs look that good it was Kylie Minogue 20 years ago

[@Arthur-rc1jc]

Hey Rob & Chris, I'm from Australia and stumbled across your Channel a couple of months ago. I love what you both do and you both bring a different skillset to the table and compliment each other. A great team! I look forward to more and hope one day you do an old TC/TD Ford Cortina. One of my favourites from the early 70's. Cheers, Arty

[@danielbrown4133]

G'day Arty, I'm in Oz too could you imagine anyone here repairing that? Not likely I reckon.

[@mickreid7153]

Well shot film, great insight into how it all works. Very clever stuff! Thanks for taking the time. 🖖👍👊😊

[@davidbarnsley8486]

I watch a guy called Arthur doing panel work and it is quite amazing to watch a panel beater do their work I would suggest to those who don’t think you are doing the correct thing go watch Arthur’s Chanel and watch what he fixes Some of them I suggest should have gone to the wreckers but he fixes them just like new 👍👍

[@terrywilkins5266]

Anybody who's followed your channel knows you do NOT cut corners. Chris is a perfectionist as are you.

[@stephenricketts7764]

No 'cut and shut' here on SRUK thankfully! Good progress Gents, that did seem to behave it self and obey your command. It is so satisfying to see crafts men at work. It will be a lot of work but it will be good when done. Thanks again Rob and Chris it is really interesting watching this sort of thing. Now go and get your tea Rob (and Chris, especially as Rob stopped you drinking your coffee earlier😁).👍👍

[@kevinw8258]

Been waiting to see this one being pulled, great video chaps👍

[@victorgibbons4237]

Great video guys 👍 Coming from someone who has worked for Bodyshops for many years, your skill and craftsmanship is very impressive. Thoroughly enjoy watching your videos, keep up the good work 👏🏻

[@raymondpearce5245]

Not for faint - hearted Rob and Chris

[@topbanana39]

As me late dad used to say bloody marvelous he would of absolutely loved this channel he was an aircraft mechanic for British Airways he loved tinkering he got me interested in cars and I became a mechanic too. Rob and Chris keep up the good work

[@anthonyhawkins9239]

This is how to go about doing a proper job, as always lads……another top lesson in how to go about you’re work correctly 👍

[@jamesbrett6518]

I'm glad you made it clear you're not just panelling over (as seen on some other "salvage" channels). Loving the close-up of the pull. Could Chris run a network cable into the workshop and cure your speed issues?

[@sruk]

No it’s better to just drive home

[@joshlismore]

you guys are just really good at what you do. fair play.

[@The_journeyy]

*The gents showing how to do it right* 👏

[@johndavey72]

Hi Guys. I've done a few dozen like this over the years . It's very satisfying ......when all goes well !!! No problem for Chris . Thanks Rob. And thanks Chris .

[@tomtodhunter1776]

Very interesting process, I've often wondered how these type of repairs are done. Plus it's fantastic you managed to get a complete front end for the measurements and repair pieces. I'm really looking forward to seeing the new parys being fitted. Top work. 👍

[@lukey3507]

Good work, you guys are the Arthur Tussik from the UK. Arthur is very skilled in his trade, but in Russia they don't have similar laws for crashed cars.

[@davewallbank7678]

Rob& Chris your work is second to none,stunning again love the long video’s

[@lordtobe2774]

Everybody needs a Chris.....can you rent him out .😁

[@thefloorkiller]

Amazing work, love seeing the jig work, Chris working his magic on this one

[@paulmackay6376]

Loved the time lapse on the drivers side leg.....you could see the other panels coming back together. Another great video chaps.

[@sharnley97gaming38]

Love how informative these vids are! fascinated to see how the new front end parts will go on and see how well this turns round! ❤️

[@G4RY1159]

The energy the car has took in the collision has been extremely powerful, it's just incredible that windscreen stayed intact from such force. Thanks again fella's

[@andrewcordery6157]

Learned heaps in this one and now have a better understanding of how a jig works thanks to your video, love watching your stuff, thanks Rob n Chris

[@kellytaylor3134]

Not many people nowadays with this level of skill old school repair rather than replacement

[@paulwatton2415]

Great job boys , amazing how u get it all to factory fit can’t wait for the next vid cheers

[@jonathanellwood]

Beautiful work..as always. Love watching you both work, masterful.

[@chrishirst7716]

Fantastic talent Chris is. What a professional man at work and good camera work by Rob.

[@paulbeecham8313]

Cracking to see the jig work, never seen how its been done till i watched your videos, you guys really brighten my day great content everytime 👏👍

[@ruthbees7214]

A very good repair. With the measuring system. I knew a man who jigged cars with the cellete system like yours. But he would only use the bracket set for the car pick up points. He did not rate the measuring system. He used to say when it's on the brackets it is a hundred percent right. He was a sheet metal worker by trade and the best welder metalworker and car bodywork repairs I have ever seen. He was doing this kind of work in the 1980,s nothing has changed. A car is still the same repair now as it was then. Keep up the good work enjoy your stuff bit of everything. Thanks mark south Wales.

[@chrisstyles4630]

To the new subscribers salvage rebuilds UK show you how a car needs to be fixed correctly they will NEVER DO DODGY WORK & call it done all there work is HIGH QUALITY & FIT & FINISH is top notch this is from me a long term subscriber (me) & watching the high quality work they do on all vehicles look forward to the next one 👍👍👍

[@eightfivetwohk13]

When you get the Celette table out it is magical. That Timelapse- slomo was brilliant.

[@stephenclarke8876]

Chris is great to watch, he is very good at what he does. You make a great team and nothing seems to bother you both when the pressure is on.great video

[@wayne1243]

Master craftsmen at work 👊👊👊

[@duttontube]

Watching you gents on the jig, it's pure art. Love it!

[@ianfender8142]

You can teach this old new tricks , thank you both for an excellent informative video

[@robinjones6999]

Excellent Rob - much appreciated

[@iainmacleod4007]

Fascinating watch as ever and very educational. This is what the internet and KZbin was invented for.

[@markpollard1909]

Love these big pulls, shows how much flex there is in the metal to pop back as it does. Look forward to the re-build.

[@jimmac715]

Pulled out easier than I thought. Love watching you guys, amazing as always.

[@alastairkippax]

What an utterly brilliant video, the best yet and you've done lots of brilliant ones. The skill of Chris is just fantastic and you twos explaining what's happening is superb. Thankyou chaps once again 👍🏻

[@peteredwards7872]

Yet again top class work. Superb video 👍👍

[@FugitiveRazor]

Masters of metal - waffled it straight rob.

[@tan_ives]

Really appreciate this content. So many people treat jig work and pulling like some sort of mystical dark art. Well done Chris on the tools, and Rob with the cameras! Please keep this technical stuff coming👍

[@leestevenson3821]

You boys smashed that out the park. Deffo 1 of your best videos to date. Love the close up time lapse too….Superb result, looking forward to the next 1 👍

[@AdamsWorlds]

Looking miles better already. Can't wait to see this one going back together.

[@richardarcher2164]

Nice work again guys,as always.

[@jasonree]

Fascinating to watch, proper engineering and metallurgy!! Fab job, lot of work on those spot welds!!

[@julias-shed]

Lovely view on that drivers side leg pulling round. This should be essential viewing for kids studying panel beating 😀

[@johnmontague4245]

Very nice gents. It’s good to see the straightening process. Another excellent video guys. Cheers

[@trevorjarvis3021]

That video was absolutely brilliant - totally fascinating. Well done with the filming of it Rob, and Chris is just a magician - so skilled. 👍👏😎🚙🚗

[@johngaskell68]

Great video as always guys and very pleasing to watch Chris work his magic with that Jig. Looked like the A1 would never be straight again when you first bought it but the outcome was never in doubt..! Looking forward to the next instalment ❤️👍🏻

[@ged3680]

Hello Rob and Chris, another excellent video. Top team work again. Thank you for taking the time to upload another video. Ged

[@briancel]

Excellent video again Lads, great to see whats involved in the jig work process.

[@stuartdavidson9935]

Looking good it looked so bent it’s amazing how straight it is now can’t wait until the next video

[@allenburdett4923]

Great job, they came round nicely

[@robindthornton]

Brilliant job as usual boys ,great entertainment~ thanks

[@johnhughes7274]

Very interesting one to watch that one guys, mesmerising to see it all come back straight. Roll on the next one👏👏👏👏👏

[@patrickh7368]

Blimey I’ve watched you guys long enough to see you ain’t going to use bodged up anything, you have straightened stuff to do alignment polarva but not for permanent use. Good to see how you make vehicles come back to life with skill and dignity and no doubt better than before the tangle occurred. 😊

[@thierrybegue870]

Hi Rob and Chris, as usual it is an Outstanding job, keep it up. Waiting for the next one. Cheers.

[@johngriffith5231]

Very interesting and informative as usual guys , love it.
