WAS IT DANGEROUS LETTING CHRIS BID AT COPART SALVAGE AUCTION???

[@skaterguy52]

I love how robs so commited to getting it done for xmas as he knows how much it will mean to chris. Excellent lads loved the video

[@skibumirl]

Enjoyed the Josh segment, seems like a sound young lad who knows his stuff 👍👍

[@pharoahegypt]

If you can't help out your own family in getting them a decent car for the right price, then what's the point of doing this? Other than to make a decent living while entertaining us all aside of course? lol.

[@Alexander_l322]

Well said

[@categoryaaudio6276]

content and good content at that

[@My_father_was_a_toolmaker]

Rumour has it Chris paid for the Fiat 500 from all the loose change he has been collecting 😅

[@AndyK.1]

So that’s why there was no meal shown this year

[@paulbeecham8313]

Lucky young lady what a little peach first car, nice to see everyone going above and beyond to pull all the jobs together, proper work ethics 👏👏

[@deanhawthorn5783]

love josh.....a very clever and honest young man

[@roverboy01]

😂 I loved the banter from Josh! Poking fun at Rob.... I bet Rob loved it too. Great job.

[@neilmatkin3829]

Loving Josh, he has my sense of humour, sign him up. You would make a great team. You heard it here first.

[@harryb5754]

love watchinf your videos you inspired me at 15 to go and buy a £200 and get it back on the road car now im 17 and lm learning to drive in it keep up the good work

[@richardgreene3460]

ALWAYS awesome to see "young" guys like Josh working on cars/trucks! Brilliant talented guy!

[@stuhicks7495]

I love that the enthusiasm and joy in your voice because your helping your buddy gift a car

[@simplysimon9868]

Nice little motor for her first car. Good to see your truck back and sorted Rob. Nothing to serious 😁👍 Josh is a legend for fixing it.

[@SheardTV1]

I can’t believe it was written off because of that minor damage. You should see the little cars the locals drive around in Paris. They keep using them till it’s just a seat on a chassis!

[@topbanana39]

That's what you call getting ya moneys worth out of a clutch plate good on chris scoring brownie points with his gf 😂 and good on rob for sourcing the parts asap 👍

[@TheDaf95xf]

Well done Josh for helping the busy guys lol 🤣 What a lovely gesture for Chris’s girlfriends daughter 🤩

[@jimgardner9044]

Wow! Josh did well with not only the clutch and gear box but the filming also. A JOB WELL DONE.Cheers Jim in NZ.

[@CJ-ok7rk]

I don't mind what you repair, I always enjoy your content. Even better it's a xmas present for a special person.

[@blimpism]

I miss all of the Fiat 500's you guys used to repair, nice to see one back on the channel.

I wish I was given a first car like this the young lady is going to be over the moon with the cat 👍

[@andygj66]

Great job guys as always. Someone's got themselves a very nice Christmas present. Hopefully the young lady's now taken delivery. I know Josh didn't want to say it but that clutch had definitely been a clutch too long.

[@sruk]

lol 👍

[@kevinwilliams4899]

Loved the Josh input, Like you and Chris it is always great to watch people that know what they are doing but also able to put it laymans terms for people like me.

[@TruthTortoise81]

the guy who did the clutch is an absolute guru! I doubt there is anything much worth knowing about fitting a clutch that he doesn't know!

[@blackdoublezero]

in case there's no dad joke at the end - I think my wife might be a drug dealer , her phone rang and i answered it & this geezer said is that dope still there ?

[@rust_soldier]

its so nice seeing you both working together. Could really see he wanted this done and its great you pulling in favours to get it done for him. Your both such great people

[@derekgb3780]

Josh looks experienced and as if he knows what he's doing.

[@laurakelly9255]

500 a great starter car with a touch of Italian styling,it was very interesting to see the clutch being done. Looking forward to the next one

[@stevenjones19-m8i]

Hello Rob and Chris,what a ideal first car the Fiat 500 is,Chris has done brilliant on the bodywork.and the van has a new clutch and drives,happy days 😀.

[@frankjames7247]

Very nice Christmas present, no problems there for you boys. Star man Josh fixing your truck.

[@michaelhynds8035]

Fantastic work as always gentlemen, great to see skill and confidence. Well done.

[@johnwatson3616]

Josh's bit was great, very informative. A great addition, you should get him to guest some more

[@organiccold]

Oh a 500 hehe,. nothing wrong with that, a good present for the new driver 🎉. And of course Josh was great as always and funny 😂😂

[@peter-e2q]

Trouble is, Rob can’t drive. Ha ha ha. Very funny. Great insert Rob! Josh has a great sense of humour too.

[@stevekelly5166]

Josh, good work. And what a nice Christmas present to be on the receiving end of. Rob, I once did that to a clutch in a British Railways 1.7lt Sherpa railway minibus around 1984. Sort of tore all the friction off of the clutch for a laugh. NCL (National Carriers Ltd) did the railway maintainance in Bristol. A month later I took the van back as I'd tore the centre of the clutch out. Clutch material was great on the new one, but I'd worked out how to snap the spline off the disc. Dennis was the receptionist, and Lance was one of the mechanics. They were so confused as to how the damage was caused, so they took me into the workshop to see the damage. In the end, Dennis pinned me against a wall in the office and lifted me up by my nipples. I've never shagged a clutch to death again, to this day!

[@graemew7001]

I saw this on the ramp in the back of the last Disco video but I don't care that it's another 500 video, it's a hell of a gift for the young lady, 35k miles, specced up well and smart. Chris would have been nuts not to go for it.

[@barrykenward9178]

Well done Chris’s daughter, also explains why you didn’t worry about it being in the disco video 👍👍

[@jonjones1290]

She'll be well chuffed with that. Cracking little motor. Great video. Crammed full of content 👌

[@williamdonly7966]

2 videos in 1 got to be fantastic! Thanks josh giving us an insight into your world . Guys well done yet again a young girl is going to be over the moon❤❤.

[@kevsumner2064]

Here's a thing for you. For cutting through those seals and the glue in the wings. Make a small hole in the glue or sealant and pass a guitar A string through it. Then pull and push the string to cut the sealant. Best are the steel electric guitar strings .and cheaper the better. Cheaper ones are really awful to play but cut really well. On awkward areas it might need both of you pulling backwards and forwards on the string. Hope you can work out what I mean.

[@hilltopshitkicker]

Proper good advice mate

[@stephenricketts7764]

I think the young lady will be very happy with that little car and low mileage I believe you said. Well done to Josh for all his hard work and the truck is back in action. 👍👍

[@tomtodhunter1776]

It is was a pleasant surprise seeing a 500 back on the channel, I hope she has many years of happy motoring with it. Great to see Josh back too, even if he almost inched your catchphrase. 🤣

[@amazulu3401]

I watch these vids mostly for you accents, absolutely bloody hilarious. Its like Del and Rod all over again. Half the time I cant tell if you are being serious.

[@ged3680]

Good evening Rob, Chris and Josh, great video and Josh saved the day. What a lovely Christmas present. Thank you for taking the time to upload another video, Ged.

[@viviennepatterson5950]

Another great video. It would have been good to see the final result and the handover of keys.

[@nickhoward9343]

Good old Ken autos back to your old days, Rob

[@johnpritchard2772]

Hello Rob & Chris, what a great little "first car" - really good to see the gearbox and clutch change on the lorry - great job well done by Josh!! Best wishes from Lincolnshire

[@trevorjarvis3021]

That was an amazing video Rob, thank you for putting it all together. Chris is a magician on the body work, and Josh? Well his recording and work on the recovery truck wes brilliant. Fantastic result all round.😊

[@Alexander_l322]

That’s a lovely gift 🎁 Chris is a diamond!

[@michaelwilson3844]

What a lovely car for just passing your test your girl friends daughter will be over the moon with that , well done Chris & Rob for pulling out all the stops getting it ready , once Santa has been she will be so happy with it , wishing the young lady all the happiness in the world and happy motoring 🎉

[@garygray4640]

Another great video.the wee fiat 500 is going to make a great first car .Josh really knows his stuff he's certainly a very handy guy to know.Another quick turn around car .Rob and Chris keep up the great work Looking forward to the next video 🚗👍🏻

[@peterturnbull9133]

Great Video and what a lovely first car. Once again, really enjoyed the segment by Josh… top bloke. He’s great at explaining what he’s doing and passing on his experience.

[@jonnyanderson1778]

Hi guys.. great channel.. been watching your channel from you got the peugeot 306 GTI... i be come a member of copart and bought a audi a3 s line with 32000 miles on it cat N i put a front wing on it that's all it needed.. i applied for the tax book and it was a one owner car. And have the service history and book pack 😊 keep up the good work lads

[@marksheppard2829]

Was there a final piece of video of when it returned from the paint shop? Staggered it was an insurance write off. Seemed like minimal damage. Great first car for Chris's partner's daughter.

[@alextripp1230]

Hi Rob and Chris, been a while since a Fiat 500.. what a little beauty, perfect buy for Chris's partners Daughters 1st car. Great video..Alex

[@adrianbellamy5060]

Nicely done Josh well explained, 500 nice little run about for 1st car .

[@murrayblair67]

That’s a great clutch video Guys Well done Josh 💪

[@cybersheep]

great vid, was interesting seeing josh do the clutch job on the van

[@chrisgosling6083]

what a super Christmas gift !! a super first car , good to have the truck back on the road, but the fiat will look like new once the paint has gone on , thanks guys 👍

[@johnbeer4963]

I miss these videos with more modest cars. Am sure it's great for you guys to be working with these higher value vehicles but I really miss the glory days of SRUK cheap car hustle

[@leonb2637]

That Fiat 500 was likely cheap to buy, fix and insure especially with Chris's magic and Rob getting parts. Low miles, seemed to be well maintained. Likely the damage on the passenger side was from a sideswipe of someone getting close when parked, nothing major but just more than the value of car to fix by a shop at full rates. Easy to park in town, enough power and cute too. Good starter car.

[@paulstaton8267]

You two are so good together, it’s nice to see two mates getting on with it and making a great business 👍have a great 2024

[@peterdale7896]

What a lovely first car. The young lady will never forget the first car she ever owned and drove giving her the freedom of the roads for the very first time. Great start to 2024. Respect.

[@petemolloy885]

Chris only bought the Fiat because he saw 37p in the centre console....

[@gframe287]

I remember people moaning you were doing too many Fiat 500's but that was ages ago. Anyway the good thing is that the two of you must be black belts in these little cars 👍 P.S. I also remember you Karchering years ago Ford Focus seats you had removed...they came up superb 👌

[@jonathanmoss5328]

I’m surprised that Chris didn’t have a crack at painting this one just to get it done. Like most new drivers I bet he will be painting it again before long 😅😅😅

[@justincase2384]

Can we take a moment to appreciate the greatness of the thumbnail 😂 keep up the good work Rob and Chris

[@hydorah]

Clutch worn to the rivets and no damage to the flywheel? It's a Christmas miracle!

[@Missed_Apex_GT]

It won’t…the friction material is thicker on the flywheel side to prevent that happening…it’s been that way since clutches were invented

[@georgepaterson4825]

Well done guy's Rob doing his usual run around and Chris with magic hands now being Santa

[@paultaylor9652]

I hope she has many happy safe miles of driving in the wee 500, great video guys.

[@johnshaw4140]

Well done Josh , ah hah , Rob slips his clutches then , no wonder he likes an auto , nice crissie prezzie that , good one ladz

[@trev8591]

She is one lucky young lady having you fellas sorting a motor for her.

[@fatherted2948]

It looked like Chris was sitting inside a Snowball ,,

[@Mephiston]

Another lovely vid, but rob you need to space out the voiceovers some more for the time lapses, they often cut off mid sentence. Maybe slow down the timelapses so that they end when you finish talking? I only mention it because its giving context and explanations to what you're doing, and its a bit jarring to have the explanation cut off. At any rate, great work.

[@Ro32da72]

Love these little things, and it's nice to see another one getting some SRUK love. Personally, whatever you've got on the ramp, it never gets old - it's still a car, and therefore still interesting.

[@Jay-B1750]

That's going to make a lovely first car! Doesn't matter what you buy will always watch 👍👌 got an Abarth myself so it's always cool to see a 500!

[@paulwatts2192]

Nice first car,and Josh got your truck sorted win. Win.

[@paulgreenland4577]

What a lovely job and a really nice little car. Mrs Salvage Rebuilds Chris’ daughter will be thrilled. Congratulations to her for passing her test. Another great video guys 😊

[@simoncondliffe2652]

How's the 500 doing...love to see the car finished and handed over to Chris's girlfriend's daughter. Love the channel 👍

[@marcusmaximus451]

Fantastic vlog as always chaps she will be delighted with the Fiat, superb work by Josh, just a tip on the new karcher steamer….use pure water in it (same water as what window cleaners use) as this will stop it getting clogged or limescaled up, take care chaps and Chris I think you deserve another holiday to the Cotswolds, kind regards Mark from Billericay 😀😀👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧

[@hongkongstuey]

Great video, not surprised at the amount of white 500's in salvage yard, they were bargain cars with 'oopsie' type owners that dinked them weekly till they could get past their first year of driving.

[@leejones982]

Missed the truck intro ,thought i was going mad and somebody had taken over the channel .!

[@thegees]

big ups josh even being a detective figuring out what happened, i liked the music

[@TechUK21]

that clutch as disintregrated from having a overloaded truck . i no this cuz mine did same as i was transporting td5 discoveries .

[@silverback7170]

Rob are you sure that missing bolt and cable tie on the gearbox wasn't a "Bob a job, Rob job!" 😁😉

[@TheBusracer]

Great video guys..Thanks Rob for explaining why the box had to be changed and filming as I did ask you before Christmas 😊 If a video was going to happen

[@MrJonphoto]

Another great video- Josh is a natural on camera!

[@daystatesniper01]

Nice one lads great video as usual and good slice of Josh doing his stuff ,excellent.

[@grahamcockerill2406]

I didn't realise the truck was fwd rob. Aussie Graham.

[@l33bigz53]

Nice to know there is people that do the job properly still

[@muffindell]

Ohhh I was looking forward to seeing it painted and back together. Great job and a lovely present.

[@ianryan606]

Wow two video's in one, great work as always, and what a very nice looking car, the detail to the work is incredible.

[@MrButtonpresser]

Rob's been street racing the flatbed on the sly. LOL. A nice little 500, somebody's pride and joy.

[@cossie60]

About the gearbox on the truck ..its good practice to change the oil in it every year. The gearbox in the Master/Movano/NV400 aren't the sturdiest

[@sruk]

Iv always changed it

[@stuart2897]

Great videos guys. I love fiat 500's great cars . Hope she likes it . Well done again Chris for making such a good job of it. I like how you covered both vehicles in this video. Look forward to seeing your next video.😊

[@wackyracer123]

*We know your working on getting a paint booth . You NEED it ASAP its always the painting that realy slows you and chris down on build. Very nice of rob and chris getting cracked on with the car for chrises gf daughter*

[@mikeymike3634]

Sorted out a cat. N 2011 Ford KA for my wife a couple of years ago. It cost shirt buttons and only needed a new N/S/F wing and a door to sort it. Just like your 500. Wife loves it so money well spent. only 25K on the clock (genuine!) when I brought it too!

[@brianallen858]

Another great video, doing a good turn for a family member at the time of year that it counts the most and keeping another car on the road 🛣️🛣️, top marke Chris and Rob ❤❤🇮🇪🇮🇪

[@matthewwebber3982]

Nice to see you guys do another fiat 500 and the truck back up and running

[@ianbeale2527]

Personally, if it was a first car, I wouldn't go to town on it - just tidy it up . As a first car,I'd expect it'll probably need doing again , and again, and again..........Every time I see a young girl driving these Fiat 500's , they're always covered in dings and dents !

[@FuelPoverty]

A bit prejudiced is that, my daughter has a similar age 208 and has had it since before she passed her test 7 years ago, I service it, no signs of abuse, no crashes, always rings 0800 DADDY if anything seems wrong, learned to drive on my '09 Aveo, which is now at 140k, and has seen me building cars from wrecks and parts. All about how they get brought up and what they see.

[@allandavies9488]

There was not a lot of thickness to that clutch plate, and probably not much 'meat' under the rivets, so no wonder it gave up when it got thin. Years ago I re lined some clutch plates that had become oil contaminated but otherwise good. They were for myself, not for a customer!
