REBUILDING A WRECKED 2019 PEUGEOT EXPERT VAN PART 2

[@danb1478]

Not sure why people give Rob a hard time in the comments. Without Rob there wouldn’t be any videos at the end of the day… think about it. It’s a partnership and he clearly does is fair share of the work. They play to each others strengths.

[@matthewcalder4351]

You hit the nail on the head! Without each others strengths you wouldn't have such a great team👍

[@DustyCustard]

Voice Overs during the timelapse really helps, Rob, well worth the extra time put in. 👍🎙

[@roypowell3450]

Another super job guys, @ the two minute past ten workshop😗. I like how you were enjoying you sarnie Rob and watching Chris getting on Rob 🤣. Enjoy the rest of your weekend guys...👍

[@stephenricketts7764]

Chris got cracking once again with the bodywork. I am pleased he managed to save the bonnet, one less panel to buy. He did a great job as always. The stickers came off quite easy which is great but as you said they have not been on there very long. Nice job Gents. If it were me I would do the airbag before the paint just so that it doesn't get knocked. Thanks Rob and Chris for another fine video, have a good weekend. 👍👍

[@jamesallen712]

Another van showing off Chris's skills on the bodywork. This ones going to be top notch when done.

[@super6954]

Thanks for another great video, the vans looking good as all your repairs do. I think you are going to find all the parts prices are going to double if they haven't already, and more stuff will become unavailable even with pattern parts. I paid 6K for a non damaged 2010 F150 truck here in Canada a month ago, I did all the work in my spare workshop time to "MOT" it rebuilding brakes, some steering components, exhaust manifolds and a service with oil and coolant flushes. The parts bill is over 3K and some of that like park brake cables was hard to find in non OEM/spiteful when I did find them and this is a common truck sharing parts from about 09 to 2014. I valued that Truck at 10K before I started and i'm pretty well there and the insurance confirmed that's it's book value yesterday when I paid sales taxes on it. Anybody that bought it, and paid for the work I did was going to be 5K plus in the hole again. There was nothing in it realistically to buy and flip it, luckily I'm in it to keep it quiet a while. Take care guys.

[@mickboakes7023]

Everybody needs a Chris in their life. Wish he was in mine. All the best. Mick.

[@davecoleuk]

Well done Chris, YOU worked hard on that one.

[@philtucker1224]

Rob I appreciate the problem with getting parts, the newer the vehicle the less chance of finding parts at the breakers. That puts you at the mercy of the rip-off dealers that we all have to shell out for when we get our cars serviced! Brilliant work by Chris as usual. 👏

[@solpcb]

I have the same van but the Citroën dispatch psa equivalent & just like you the front end parts we're extortion ! I did however save on a rad pack from a grand Picasso as there the same, the lower rad support was from a 308 so there's alot of identical bits. The dash was a bit of a nightmare to fit as there's a big bar across the middle which will need undoing. Airbag module is right beneath the gear stick under the carpet I also had to solder a new connector to the driver airbag as it was burnt.

[@lestercranmer2631]

yes and the module is a pig to get to, I managed to get to it by taking out the passenger seat lifting the flooring rubber with pieces of wood just high enough to get my arm in with a ratchet, 3 nuts+2 plugs.

[@Shaun30-3]

Nice job Chris ! Hard to believe that Peugeot parts are more expensive than Mercedes as always doing a good repair take care Chris and rob see you on the next video

[@simonbailey2151]

Rob, I’m sure the voiceovers on the timelapse add work for you, but they massively improve the content. Nice one lads.

[@oldschool1993]

Chris- "I need to take 30 minutes and eat my lunch" Rob- "No problem- keep on working and I'll eat it for you"

[@stevenjones19-m8i]

Brilliant progress both,it looks so much better.Chris has done a great job on the bonnet.the decals seem to come off with a bit of work.

[@vernonmatthews181]

The key is the heatgun loosening the adhesive. Done this sort of thing myself over years. I identify with it having done it too !

[@J15umm]

I’ve a 2016 vxl Astra and since Vauxhall was taken over by PSA the price of service parts is astronomical. A service on the Astra was more than my Audi. Brilliant work again guys.

[@johnmehaffey9953]

Holy whatever rob had to rewind when you said the price of the alternator, what on earth makes it so expensive, got the grass cut this morning and I’ve been waiting patiently for this post , great work as ever guys

[@steveegginton535]

As per usual Chris got that bodywork looking spot on - like the voice over during the time lapse sections of the video👍

[@jamescapon6607]

I can see why my Peugeot Expert got written off 2 years ago on the M25. I was hit by a Jag when stationary and pushed to wards a van in front of me. So I steered it into the barrier to miss it. The Jag had lifted the back of the van and was pushing me along on the spare wheel.

[@philipallen8648]

Thanks for the video. Maybe interesting to look into getting some spay foam insulation on the workshop roof to keep it more habitable for you guys.

[@jamesbrett6518]

A double skin is better - like an army tent in the desert

[@vernonmatthews181]

Thanks Rob for your narration & time lapse of the refurb of the Peugeot van. Loved the attention to detail and flexibility of Chris working around your filming 🎥 👌 Interesting you sourced parts from 🇪🇸 Spain. A wise and prudent approach to conquering that huge price difference between Mercedes & Peugeot. Van looks so tidy with signwriting being de -stickered. Look forward to it coming back from paintshop ready for airbag kit reinstatement 😊

[@PaulHeriot]

Hi Rob,Paul from Australia here,you two blokes do a fantastic job,you make wheeler dealers look like complete amateurs,I actually don’t mind the Timelapse because it shows that you actually do the work and not a team of ten men,keep the videos coming I’m really enjoying them 👍

[@alextripp1230]

Hi Rob and Chris, that's going to be a very nice van, Chris is a bodywork wizard , very talented, Rob's talents keeps it all flowing, great team guy's. Liking this new video posting setup, keep em coming. Alex.

[@martinthompson54]

Hi rob and Chris, great job on the van, can't wait to see it finished. From marty in Belfast northern Ireland God bless

[@philipsearls1946]

A wise man told me, Only buy a Car or Van that you can afford to service or repair. You guy's just proved his point. Big thumbs up.

[@chrisstyles4630]

Absolutely fantastic work & chris never fails to make panels look brand new im always amazed how good he makes them look look forward to seeing the next video 👍👍👍👍

[@Scotts23]

Chris really is a master of his Trade together you really are a great team absolutely fantastic to watch and I've learnt a lot over the last 2/3 years that I've been a fan of your channel

[@ywainprior1043]

Great work guys. Chis your a true craftsman. Is there anything you can't fix..looking forward to the next video 👍

[@arthurblundell6128]

Chris's know how and years of hands-on must be just so invaluable!

[@georgepaterson4825]

Chris is just a perfectionist looking forward to seeing the finished work Well done guy's can't wait to get the next one 👏 👍

[@robertgeals7158]

Great watching these two guys add there own value to each project,each has there own strength to achieve the same objective ………another successful build ! Well done guys 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@normanstephens5391]

The "Dream Team" are working their Magic. Once again. See you both in the next one. 👍👍

[@tomtodhunter1776]

Chris has done a brilliant job with this van especially the bonnet top work. 👍

[@stuart2897]

A great job again as always guys . That is a lovely van . Enjoy this nice weather.

[@steveng5503]

Well done lads! I bet those graphics were expensive when fitted. Removing them changed the van completely. ✌🏻👍🏻🇬🇧

[@jameshunterford4099]

I had to listen to this video instead of watching it while made the dinner. I chuckled, because it’s like listening to a Guy Ritchie film 😂

[@mcplindgren]

It's coming along nicely now chaps. Stunned at how expensive those parts prices are, especially given that van is spread over several brands. I'm not surprised you'll steer clear for a while, daylight robbery. It will look factory fresh in no time with you pair on it 👌🏻

[@markopolo9559]

I would've thought parts would be cheap with it being a common van. Nice job guys!

[@feldons5621]

Great video and nice work as always. This Stellantis van is shared by Peugeot, Citroen, Toyota, Fiat and Vauxhall. I wonder if the identical Vauxhall parts may have been cheaper due to them supplying major Fleet customers like BT ,Virgin Media 02 , Sky , and Royal mail and the high UK sales of the Vauxhall Vivaro

[@martinogold]

I love it when the video drops on Saturdays. Thanks chaps 👍

[@ewanstewart8011]

Great team work and a great result on the van but especially the bonnet, I don’t know how you do all the running around Rob I did it for a day and I’m nearly demented 😅👍🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@marcusbaudet834]

Cracking bit of bodywork there Chris

[@Fenders25]

Top job Chris, can’t wait to see it all done.

[@garycoppard3596]

Chris is truly an all round when it comes to vehicle repairs. Well done guys 🎉

[@ianbond1663]

Chris and his healing hands on those panels yet again. He's the master. Tell me Rob, is there anything he can't do, I bet he could weld water 🤣. Great vid guys, keep them coming 👍💯

[@nigelrudd670]

Chris the master 🤓🪛🔧👌

[@sruk]

He sure is bud 👌

[@terrygould4136]

P S rob you make a brill vid

[@tomleivers1]

Chris is the master rob is the hustler

[@Rich.Aardvark]

"expert"

[@johnpritchard2772]

Hello Rob & Chris, tremendous to see the transformation for this van, even though it has taken a lot of effort in preperation and the replacement (exspencive) parts. Quite interesting to see Chris bodywork skills, and the perfect results and finish! Best wishes from Lincolnshire

[@johnelbro127]

Chris is such a master on the body work as well as mechanics, you are great team. 👍👍👍👍👍

[@a.f.m6737]

Great work lads as usual. Someone is in for a treat when it’s finished

[@michaelhynds8035]

Great work as always gentlemen, thank you for sharing.

[@jamespitney2694]

Hi guys if you ever need an alternator or starter try wood autos, very very competitive never found anyone cheaper 👍🏻

[@IfInDoubt..]

10:58 - thats a fancy hat Chris is wearing, where can I get one? 😉🤣🤣

[@stehaughton5074]

Great job Chis, its goin to look brand new this van 👍👍

[@steve5772]

I seem to remember the old Combo's could be silly on prices sometimes, but loads better if you ordered Doblo parts from Fiat. What's the front end like for shared parts with the Vauxhall and Toyota?

[@davidhughes1634]

Well done Rob & Chris, great job as always.Have you been out on the bike yet Rob.

[@daystatesniper01]

Superb video once again lads your attention to detail is literally second to none ,as for the parts prices ,was the person at the shop wearing a black mask and carrying a pair of pistols !!!! robbery !!

[@frankjames7247]

Keep up the good work you two, this van should be worth the money when finished.

[@Kenny_P_abz]

10:56 Chris doing his best Smurf impression. 😊

[@arthurpayne4013]

Love watching you two, keep it up, Chris is a legend 👏

[@kittinsconkers]

Nice work as usual guys!

[@kittinsconkers]

Wish I could find a body shop near me at Guildford to sort my car out! Chris would do it with his eyes closed!

[@terryramsey1470]

Great video 📹 👍 again fellas I am glad that Chris managed to save the bonnet god knows how much that would have been. This has been a pricey one to put back together but as always you two have pulled it off, take care and stay lucky and healthy 👍 😅😊. Have a great weekend looking forward to Wednesday's video 📹 as usual.

[@tewman4943]

Time lapse of Rob eating his lunch😄

[@marksmithard7801]

Great video chaps. I know you said no more 500s, but let’s have one for old times sake. Just got a new one for my other half and it’s a great city car

[@spt-ru3hv]

The Ford rs must be off to the painters . Exited to see the updates . Good work 👏

[@ChrisHammett-my1gh]

Done job as always by Chris, one thing I’m not sure you covered Rob, were the parts prices a little spiteful!

[@paulmoore6345]

Beautiful job , hopefully although it's an expensive fix you will do well out of it

[@peterclayton4321]

Well done Chris, craftsman at work 👍🥸

[@tam19711]

Chris has some great patience, I hate doing body work!!!

[@pomnichowski]

it's magic... thanks for the show... take care fellas...

[@mariohughes2289]

Yet again another cracking video lads thanks for sharing.

[@andrewwilson1118]

Unbelievable Chris what a craftsman 👍👍👍

[@jmills1549]

Lot of work, first class as usual .

[@vwgolffancarreviews7111]

Hay rob my college has got one of those vans on an 18 plate and is a crew van love the voice over 😊

[@gromit1971]

Had the same issue with a Kia Stonic I rebuilt. Spent the same amount in parts as I paid for the car. Still worth doing it as you can still make a good profit. Good video guys. 👍

[@graemehunter5403]

Amazing bodywork Chris

[@timbaker7994]

Just perfect no need to say anymore two craftsmen at work

[@GamerPolygon]

Nice and bright HDR footage, well done

[@jbillingham68]

another cracking video showing Chris at he's best with that bodywork can't wait to see the end result of that van as its going to be one smart looking van keep them coming guys looking forward to the next video 👍👍👍💯💯💯

[@growjunkieradio]

GoodVibes Chris is on such a different level!

[@barrywood5357]

Nice one boys yet another one nearing completion. youve got to do a catch up video on what you got coming and done crack on

[@STEVIEBHOY]

Chris is the most skilled craftsman I've ever seen...and I am multi skilled 💯👌

[@STEVIEBHOY]

And Rob is a sound geezer 😂💯👌

[@md-detailing]

Great video as always Rob! Great work as usual! Frenchies tend to be really expensive to repair xD

[@martin4365]

Nice van that. Wouldn't mind upgrading to one myself. Thanks for the film

[@philtucker1224]

Clue? Rob your Escort has gone to paint! 👍😎😁

[@ralphfell2119]

Another great video. May I suggest that you consider buying a 3D printer and making your own light repair lugs, the tax man will pay for a lot of the machine and whilst the printing is a little slow you just press go and the machine does the rest, and maybe there is another revenue stream for you two?

[@jimmac715]

Nice to see another van nearly done, but what about getting the " L " reg Camper van finished. Surely it's not going to lay around for another year unused.

[@diydetail8916]

11:00 was wondering if Chris was a bit early thought it was a Christmas hat LOL

[@mrpaul5726]

Great Job Done

[@Jasonhughes258]

Why don’t you watch the video first 🤔😂

[@williamdonly7966]

As always never disappoint fantastic video, Chris is such a fantastic master at many trades . See you in the next video guys.

[@kevinisaac9139]

Yet another great video lads Chris has done it again 👌

[@TheDaf95xf]

Hi 👋🏻 Rob. Shame the parts are spiteful as it’ll be a lovely van 😊 Just watching Chris is a absolute pleasure 👍🏻

[@adrianowen6524]

Great job guys well done as always and did notice something missing from your paint booth im sure it's your ford escort init love to see the finish on that beauty lads!.🤔👌👍

[@andrewcreaser4186]

Why not prime the new wing?? I always do black paint on new panels never the best base to paint to also inside new wing more so where ache liner sits on to..

[@paulm3965]

With the ULEZ coming at the end of August 2023 you will have no problem selling this van. I know the parts are eye watering, but this van will be sought after.
