WE BOUGHT A SALVAGE CAR HIT SO HARD IT'S UNRECOGNIZABLE !!!

[@trevormegson7583]

I remember not that many years ago, Chris was a bit reticent about being on camera. So glad you did 'get involved' in the end Chris. Top Stuff guys.

[@shadowg3889]

That was the line back in the day... come on Rob drop the line 😂 let's get involved 💪

[@IgboTIFOSI]

😂it was a gradual process. I saw it all.

[@dlw303]

Laughing my head off at Chris, OH HELLO 😂😂😂 he’s always sniffing that change out

[@Garffey]

Seeing Chris's face light up at the shrapnel on the seat was worth the wait! ☺....I just don't get people that eat in cars, don't they have dining rooms?... And to keep it in that state!... Mind it say enough about anyone that 'eats' at a McDonalds! Keep up the good work chaps....👍👍

Awesome job here! Your humility in comedy is admirable.

Really proud to see such awesome content - my abs thank you for the workout!

[@Plimp92601]

Hi rob and chris. Big fan here, and you are fixing my exact car in the same colour. Headlights you have got are for a mk4, as this is a 4.5, they are differnt so dont think they will fit. Others may have said sorry. Also, it looked like they are the fixed non matrix, but they are LED. No mk4.5 comes with old bulbs anymore. Also, wet belt comments. This one went to a timing chain when MHEV was introduced on the 2020 Puma, and is in this focus also. You can tell cos the turbo is at the back not the front.

[@dnrc]

That bonnet was bent perfectly to fit over the engine support bar!

[@paulketchupwitheverything767]

I thought that they might have flattened the bonnet a bit to cover the engine but it was better left folded.

[@gtthompson5818]

Surprised Chris isn’t going to repair that bonnet in his lunch break!!

[@grahamricketts-bq1ft]

When you said don't look inside, I assumed you meant there was blood everywhere !!

[@Antonymorris1.6]

Can't belive some people get there car interior in that state when it's new .

[@mrc3063]

A perfect example of broken Britain. Some people have given up on themselves and live like excrement. To do this to a new car proves my point.

[@crawlstockrc]

The state of that. That’s what happens when someone gets a free car on mobility or benefits. No one would pay for a car and treat it like that surely.

[@michaelg8821]

You are probably right

[@Suzukits]

Not free though are they !!! They still have to pay for it out of there disability allowance

All that mileage is from touring the country visiting McDonald's lol, another great video lads 👍

Rob you make me laugh I was looking how bad it was and you said it got 2 keys honest good job I got a catheter in or I would have pissed myself laughing

[@TheMG4hubcap]

Thanks for this one guys. Had a hard day today especially as some person called me a disgrace for no reason to me and a few mates. Thanks for this guys made me feel loads better 👍

[@peterdale7896]

What a state of the inside of such a new car. Good choice cleaning it out Rob. Wonder what their house looks like?

[@DavidJones-mo9sj]

Love the description of damage needs attention. Mission impossible more like. Great to watch the skill you both bring to make the car good

[@doctorjet1]

The internal state of the car shows that the owner had a complete lack of respect for their own environment, the car and ultimately others on the road. They obviously walked away, but I hope they had a shock and learnt a lesson regarding inappropriate speed. Nuff said. With no firewall damage that was a great buy Rob.

[@brianallen858]

These men are champions, I swear to god this channel needs more attention ❤❤

[@MrBigad77]

I don’t get how people let their cars get in a state like that

[@brokenbritain9441]

The beer tops bit of a worry😮 with this crazy weather there's going to be some flood damage Focus for parts👍

[@HonkyHorton]

I can understand cleaning the inside, that’s just grotty. It’s not fair on yourselves or other folk working on the car. The quick turn around car videos have been great but it’s good to get something that we can all get into

[@williamlloyd3769]

Strange to watch someone’s bad day as entertainment, but very interesting PS - great to see your work ethic and shop process

[@misterthegeoff9767]

2 Corona bottle caps in the driver's footwell may give us a clue how this Focus ended up rear ending a lorry.

Classic comment by Chris over the drive-through😂

[@howardlake6178]

You two were my first ever subscribe on KZbin! You probably won’t remember how much I love a proper smack. Chassis work, jig preferably! Can’t wait to see more on this one

[@ambulancekidd]

Quite refreshing to see one that's had a real clatter lads. That's what I love about you're channel, you never know just what you'll get.

[@markswift1477]

Going to be a challenge with the parts boys but you will come through, great video as always, best channel on here without a doubt.

[@stevehunter8117]

I worked in a bodyshop repairing a few written off ex enterprise vehicles & they were in the same state, I think the local pharmaceutical dealers use them as company cars 😅

[@nicholasdavies6264]

Blimey guys ! What a mess! But all faith in you both ! 👍

[@alextripp1230]

Hi Rob and Chris, great new project guy's, hopefully should be plentiful parts around as fairly common car. Looks like this ones has a neglected 1st year, you'll soon have it back to how it should look. Alex.

[@white_van_matt]

Mk 4.5 with st line x trim. Keep the modules out of the lights as they swap over with no coding. The lights themselves might be xenon and bending so make sure you get the right units to replace.

[@johnedwards3198]

Looks like my ex.... She was a mess and the relationship was a massive car crash 😅

[@graemew7001]

That looks like they were pounding down the motorway and didn't notice the traffic in front had stopped. My 14 year old car is a palace compared to the inside of that one, some people have no dignity or self respect.

[@ged3680]

Hello Rob and Chris, really looking forward to this project. Thank you for taking the time to upload another video. Ged.

[@paulnorman-mi4jz]

Can't understand how people can drive around in a car full of dirt and rubbish. Have they got no self respect?

[@knowlesb8]

Don’t normally post on comments but just wanted to pop on and say me and my son have been watching you guys since day dot and enjoy every video you put up 👍 and top marks on how clean you keep your working areas, you’re both so respectful of each other a trait seldom seen on utube. Oh one other thing what ever happened to the 3 door Cosworth from the early days? Keep well guys Andy

[@arthurblundell6128]

now that one is an insurance write off fair and square!

[@DavidSuttoninSpain]

Like to see this one when its finished well done Rob.

[@johnmehaffey9953]

Keeping the car like that you’d have to wipe your feet leaving the house, I’d say that the parts search might not be too bad rob plenty of focus cars throughout Europe just waiting for them to get the parts to you might be a problem nice post guys, back to doing a lot of repairs

[@sambarker7930]

Judging by the state of the interior, being written off may be the best thing to happen to that Focus (gets it away from the first owner)

[@seancoleman8528]

Amazes me how people can treat a lovely car like that, going to be fascinating to see you fix this one

[@xxxxxxxx9270]

Lovely car 😂😂😂 it's a shitbox focus

[@wetwellies2949]

I thought Chris would have saved the bonnet with a bit of a tap and fill!

[@paulketchupwitheverything767]

Nice to see another more involved repair. I had a Fiesta with a plastic inlet manifold. Is it also plastic on that Focus?

[@PrideOfTorbay]

Nice car for Chris & Rob to get stuck into! Rob said that this was the new version of Ecoboost, is it general thought of as better than the older Eco-Boom engines?

[@stuartjenkins3506]

The old problematic Ecoboost engine has the turbo on the front of the engine, whilst the newer dry belt ones doesn't. They still have a belt in oil for driving the oil pump though. They changed the design around 2019-20

[@michaelstevens7533]

Gonna enjoy this series. And looking forward to seeing finished

[@danielgibbsbarlow8069]

This will be a nice one in the end you will find the parts needed to repair it shame something's are only very slightly damaged but enough to need replacing can't wait for next video

Interesting build this one guys great viewing once again

[@tns5044]

That's a project and a half gents, I hope parts prices won’t kill off too much of the profits

I rate that's an ex rental with that mileage and the way it's been treated with the mess

[@carllockpick6179]

Thinking the same.

[@killj802]

No, rentals are cleaned (well ‘cleaned’) ….. that is 100% motability car, see it all the time….

Hello Rob and Chris,i definitely didnt recognise it from the picture,there is alot of parts to sort but it will be a nice car,low mileage as well.

[@Dominic197VTEC]

Good project lads, looking forward to it. These are very good cars to drive. I would definitely get an oil service done on it with genuine filters and oil as a precaution, especially with 15k miles on it.

[@steviegee9]

Nice to see you do a ford focus for a change a good run of the mill car, be nice to see the results. Can’t wait to see you do a ford Puma, had 2 of them myself so would find that very interesting. Keep up the good work, love the channel 👌

It might look messy inside but it's nothing compared to some of the cars you see on "Just Rolled In". With 16,000 miles in just about a year that's probably someone who drives long distances and eats on the go - probably a freelancer in the media?

State of that inside!

[@stephenricketts7764]

Not nearly as bad now all the crumpled bits have been removed. It looks like it will need some 'Jig work' but that is no problem for Chris. The 'tap' in the back is just the bumper which is good so you got quite lucky on this one. Although there will be some expensive parts like the Alternator. Well done Rob for getting some parts already. Thanks for the video Rob and Chris this will be an interesting build. 👍👍
