SRUK Throwback Sunday VW Crafter The Dirtiest Van In The World PT 3

[@johnginty2715]

I worked as a valetor in a main deales for a while. I loved when the salesmen brought some Mankey old dirtbox into me. The satisfaction you feel getting them all cleaned up is amazing. And the look of admiration you get from the sales guys is worth all the effort. Great job lads.👍

[@Horizon301.]

Some dealership cleaners shouldn’t be let anywhere near cars haha. Did you ever see such a thing?

[@chrisring6690]

I've already watched this but for some reason I can't help myself watching it again because the end results are amazing also good for the new subscribers

[@michaelhynds8035]

Great work gentlemen. Chris’s perfection is great. It is the small details that make the difference. Well done. Do well with it. Thank you for sharing.

[@michaelkelly3413]

Chris is one of the best out there! He is so talented it's just unbelievable.

[@weegogz6930]

Fantastic job by both Chris and yourself here, Rob! As a driver of a Crafter myself, this was an absolute joy to see. Awesome stuff! 👍

[@PaulieM]

That was an absolutely incredible transformation, well done. You really wouldn't believe it is the same van. Incredible work on the interior and the ply wood in the back looks simply brilliant. You've done a fantastic job and it was really interesting to see the result. When the weather is nice again next year I'm gonna be brave and take the front seats out of my car and give them a really good wash.

[@davecoleman7431]

Can’t believe it’s tonight I was thinking maybe Tuesday/Wednesday Love it lads

[@RumpleXstillXskin]

Maybe some overtime?

[@arthurblundell6128]

it is great to see the enjoyment you two get from transforming vehicles like this from paupers to princes ! hard work but look at the results -- the rear of the van is a real credit to Chris

[@michaelkeen5010]

What a complete transformation of the VW van. You have both done a wonderful job. 👍

[@richardjones5255]

You should both get a huge amount of satisfaction from the work you did on that vehicle. While it is not an ancient craft as such, Chris's work on those door liners was a demonstration of skill and his understanding of what was needed. The result shows what determination, skills and cleaning can achieve. It is never can be the best van on the lot, it has had too hard a previous life for that, but it is certainly a good clean van for the customer who requires a working tool to help their business get the job done.

[@edltommyrobinson9782]

Nice Job Rob & Chris, It was positively depressing looking in the back of that van, What a transformation, Well done Chaps.

[@slottaway]

Apparently someone once said "You can`t polish a turd"🙄 ....... Amazing what you can do when you put in a bit, or in this case, a lot of effort. A very impressive transformation, top job fella`s ! 👍👍👍

[@jebsails2837]

60+ years ago tar removal was accomplished with kerosene, diesel or gasoline on vehicle exteriors while Ronson lighter fluid was used on the interior, all with a lovely post cleaning fragrance. How times have changed. Narragansett Bay

[@chrishines6048]

Rob and Chris you two have worked your magic yet again the van looks amazing, it almost look new

[@MGreenstuff99]

Hi guys I'm a ply liner by trade. Chris has done an exceptionally good job, I just wished some people would take the time to strip out and clean up the vehicle like yourselves, some of vans I've done have been health hazards. Good work.

[@johnnewham2235]

My heart sank when you showed the interior of this van, I genuinely did not think you and Chris couldn't turn this one around and get it spotless clean, how wrong I was, well done guy's

[@seamushenry3407]

Sunday guys great content what a great turn out it is coming out beautifully a lot of hard work for a Sunday

[@rrshowtime3900]

You & Chris pulled out all the stops here. You put some serious graft into this Crafter refurb & you both deserve every penny you make from it. Great work.

[@DRW58]

An unbelievable result guys, nothing like a bit of elbow grease, g101 etc and of course Chris s amazing skills what a turn around. Take Care Stay Safe Everyone Regards Dave 👍😎🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@mickdebrou4567]

Have you heard of drill brushes which greatly speed up scrubbing car seats or carpets ( they just attach to your cordless drill), also keeping some old carpet for throwing down on the floor of vehicles when you're getting in and out will save you mucking up the clean floor you worked so hard to create.Stonking job on the Crafter!

[@nzilantemo]

Fantastic Chris and Rob. What a treat 3 in a row. Thanks guys I'm in rebuilds heaven .

[@philtucker1224]

Rob, you said: “it’s hard to believe they’re the same seats”..! Yes you’re dead right Rob, I can’t believe it!! You’re a flipping magician doing those seats! Sincere compliments to Chris, he is a real craftsman. Live long and prosper boys! 🙏

[@bobx2387]

Sometimes a change is as good as a rest Rob. And you two have made a change to that grotty van. Hard work and dedication always get you to a good result. Crackin' Job. Bob ( Somerset)

[@davidm6134]

Chris is so talented. What an asset he undoubtedly is.

[@stephenfarrow368]

Well I don't no what to say,what an amazing job you both have done,a lot of people wouldn't of tackled that van,so it just goes to show how much effort you 2 put in to each project 👏👍Well done to you both

[@davehemmerman2749]

I've watched your channel for quite sometime now and it blows my mind how you both can turn your hands to anything regardless of what needs doing. Keep it up lads with your positive attitudes to everything you do. 👍

[@dietersmythe9649]

Another fine video gents! What a transformation. My only suggestion would be a rubber mat over the plywood floor (would reduce some noise), but a minor point. Keep the videos coming, the longer the better!

[@olivers.6420]

Guys I was impatient and found the last part on the Crafter, unbelievable job!! You did real miracles!!!

[@denisebennett3144]

Absolutely brilliant. First I’m disappointed you can’t be my mechanic, now I’m disappointed you can’t be my car detailer. Never thought it would come up as clean as it did. You and Chris are magicians.

[@davidoxley6117]

Phenomenal is only word I can think of to describe what Chris and yourself has achieved with this van. I would also agree with your comment Rob, there really seems not only to be nothing Chris can't do, but also he does everything extremely well. Well done guys 👍

[@klobucarpa]

For tar, paint, etc, that's gotten into carpet, headliner, buy a pack of disposable razors, and rub over stubborn spots. You can use with chemicals, but it works if you just use a razor.

[@Tab-bd8zl]

Christmas come early... Thank you for extra video 😁

[@chriswilkes4350]

Wonderful transformation. One of the best jobs so far.

[@davidcook6064]

Excellent job, guys! Speaking for myself, all your videos are really enjoyable. I feel like I am right there. Can't wait for the numbers on this one. Hold out for a really good price, for all that hard work. You deserve it!

[@gerrypowell2748]

Amazing clean up,as a joiner and having done a few vans I’m very impressed with Chris’s joiner work,very talented man and of course Rob😉

[@ctiley2212]

For surfaces like the doors use kerosene to remove the tar instead of an expensive proprietary tar remover, which, truth be known is likely to be made from a similar solvent to kero. A wipe over with a G101 cloth will then remove the kero.

[@markgoogle6973]

Rob they are both german lol ... VW sprinter sounds like a new name for it ... Chris is always cracking on as Rob always surprises us win new cars content on his buying adventure ... one day he will get lost on the way to or back home lol... another top video from the dream team Chris & Rob always bringing the best salvage / car content .. thankyou guys

[@zeb3144]

You pressure wash seats quite often which is a great idea, but drying is a pain so why not buy and a cheap greenhouse and install somewhere in your yard? They superheat when sun is on them and would aid drying out seats.

[@garybrown2446]

For the seats and upholstery .. a set of drill brushes from amazon do great .. just spray chemical on and agitate and pulls the dirt right out .. keep up the great projects

[@mww558]

Time lapse tune at 13:00…class. You boys are machines!

[@kevindehinkelai7464]

Made me lol around 🤣😂 when Rob said "here he is, in his element" Chris said "hmmm dunno about that" 😆 Classic stuff guys, lmfao 😂 Love you guys! What a cracking job 🤘

[@707061756c69]

What a difference... That back veneer floor deserves a ribbed or penny rubber roll matting. You could have used a film plywood veneer like UPM Wisa-Multifoor plywood which is meant to be used as van or lorry box flooring, it might be more expensive but ...

[@petercresswell9517]

Well done you two. I reckon a dehumidifier shut in the back of that van with the seats would dry them in no time. I used to clean Land rovers like that and they could be bad.

[@tompetkoff2998]

Nice Job Chris and Rob!!! I wish we had these vans here in the USA!! Keep up the great work guys

[@Bootneck-RMC]

If I hadn't seen you doing the work, I would've said that you just swapped it for another van out of the coachbuilders. 😂 Brilliant job lads. 👌👍

[@tramlad2]

Top job, what a turn around that is a very presentable van, and it will fly out the door, it is is great order for the miles. Superb again guys.

[@tommy46055]

Attention to detail is amazing. Fantastic job.

[@TheDaveWilliams13]

Had a nightmare with KZbin not being able to comment for years.. Anyway, Rob and Chris, been watching for years. Absolutely brilliant the pair of you. Just couldn’t tell you before today !!! Got a tip for you lads, done this myself and it’s a winner. Stained horrible ply lining in the back of a van or on a flatbed? Answer - give it a couple coats of grey water based paint. Superdec works well, any fence paint in light grey works well also. It’s really transforms faded and stained ply quickly and easily. Hopefully this comment loads, if it does I can express joy at a few other I follow on KZbin.

[@paultrigger8492]

Absolutely fantastic finish on that van 👏, seen it first time around but was great watching again you guys do great jobs sad chris you never fail to amaze, keep the great content coming guys

[@DeanScrum91]

Never used to watch you back here, but your videos seem to have come on a long way since, i think they are put together a lot better now, keep up the good work Rob and Chris looking forward to tonights video 👍🏻

[@colinmiles1052]

Cracking job. I bet Chris was shocked at the difference in the cost of plywood since last time!

[@davefrench3608]

Wow. It’s amazing the transformation elbow grease and decent fluids, and some fresh timber, has made to this. Someone is going to get a cracking van.

[@bedclintred]

Miracle workers, you would not believe it is the same van!! you both deserve every £ you make. 👍😁😍

[@poohbear8012]

You and Chris did an excellent job I cant believe how nice the end result turned out. Keep up the good work guys!💪💯🐐👑

[@johnmehaffey9953]

Just shows what hard work can achieve guys top class work,

[@generalt1090]

Yup agree with everyone here..,another incredible transformation!! Can’t wait for the numbers and the rest of your plans!!

[@davidbarnsley8486]

I can’t believe those seats cleaned up like they have They do look so good well done to you both 👍👍👍👍 The back looks very good too The whole inside is really good

[@cass276]

Hi Rob, Chris Can you reccomend a glass cleaner that won't leave streaks etc One thing that bugs me is marks on the inside of the windscreen (where somebody has wiped the back of their hand etc) Excellent vid by the way, your both obviously not frit of a bit 'o hard work! Up North we have a saying, 'where's there's muck...there's brass' that van perfectly illustrates the point,.. The regular guy didn't want know, and the firm's guy who job it is to dispose of unwanted fleet vehicles wants an easy life, and will remember that. Regards Chris

[@smithyc2051]

Unbelievable transformation

[@Paulscnccreations]

Would have been nice to ply the ceiling in the back to match and to put a weather proof rubber mat down. What a transformation though cracking job.

[@bradb2434]

What a transformation brilliant job hat's off to both of you 👍👍👍

[@richardisaac1957]

Well done both of you.... and yes chris is the man... great job chris...great video content.... stay safe boys... till the next.. .

[@avit24]

If you heat up the tarmak sweepings out of the back of the van.... we can see you doin a bit of pot holing! Nice work to see the drive filled up LOL!

[@andyspencer1010]

Cheerd my Sunday up thank you 👌👌👌

[@gebear1]

[@christopherclarke5978]

3 parter on a Sunday. Really enjoyed it all. Cheers Rob and Chris

[@tvpcustomsuk2792]

Fab work guys 😍 spent many years buying the dirtiest vans, strip down valet then sell on 😀

[@grahamhardy1358]

I looked at the back of the van and thought not an issue for Mr Fixitup, you have done rear interiors before so I already knew that B&Q were about to get a visit. I just took a look at the price of sprinters now, wow

[@pablocortando1]

Top work on the van..Chris’s attention to detail really shows in the end product.

[@tommyworship3985]

What a job to take on. but the end result was well worth it, incredible result, well done.

[@johnr1992]

Excellent Job! Well Done! Don't Forget to change the Flange Inverter!

[@stehaughton5074]

What a Great Day,United Win,. An Awesome GP & 2 SR'UK Videos. Brilliant 👍👍

[@BettySwollocks13]

'There once was an ugly duckling...............' Big slap on the back lads, great job.

[@kevinmitchell774]

Great viewing how you both bring this van back to life is amazing well done ☺️

[@superbear617]

Chris: Great auto body guy, auto mechanic and ....... carpenter????? Great work, fellas!!

[@ragnarironspear1791]

Absolutely awesome work guys . A little time and effort goes a long way

[@TheBlackgreyhound]

Great video again,I use to work with tar remover/cleaner,it’s made my hands crack taking the oil out as it’s melts tar,Olso breathing this cleaner made me have breathing problems for a while as it irritated my breathing,not saying you don’t know but be careful using this chemical

[@darrencowley8265]

Hi Rob and Chris 2 videos on a Saturday you have just made my day.yet again thankyou for a great video take care both 😊😊

[@wayneryan326]

Nice one guys wow what a transformation looks like a new van tidy 👍👍👍

[@trainmanbob]

Simply a stunning job. Well done lads.

[@rockykruijskamp9975]

[@iandorling]

The sliding door catch is easy to fix just a little spring catch , mine never stayed open either

[@haydenuk02]

Amazing work and thanks for sharing this with us take care

[@paulmartin4971]

Hi Rob and Chris great job and lovely job by the upholstery man. See you again tomorrow thanks.

[@barryknighton6427]

wow it looks like a new van inside now well done boys

[@seankiing5300]

It sounds a bit rude but it's not meant too. You can get a muff for mic for the wind noise.good job on the van thought it's crazy when you've finished to think it's the same van from the start, you've both really done a good job on the van it's come up really well.

[@michaelclarke3684]

Fantastic job done Rob and Chris

[@robertmorris5214]

Lovely job Rob and Chris

[@marekbernard4074]

Stunning job!!! I have never seen that dirty and filthy van😄 but you both had done a marvellous job!! Well done

[@nekite1]

I would be fascinated to see you sort out an 04/05 Saab 9-5 Aero if ever you came across one. Seriously under-rated cars that are ultra safe, and I speak from experience.

[@lordbungle6235]

I am shock for several reasons, 1 How clean you both have got this. and more importantly ...... Surely this has to be a huge contender to become Chris's campervan.

[@colski222]

Great job love how clean it came up.

[@marciabaldwin2506]

Stunning work as always guys well done totally transformed Another van gonna go on road again

[@kenlizzio7096]

I think I’d have wanted a Hazmat suit before I started on the clean up. Lol. Great job guys.

[@rossbrown194]

What a job chris is such a talented man top job rob and chris 👍👍

[@stephenricketts7764]

Nice to be reminded about 'the dirtiest van in the world '. It's now very clean. Thanks Rob and Chris. 👍

[@johnmail]

Great job guys more videos like this please

[@petergerman3593]

Love the throwback Sunday
