That van looks a completely different van, you both worked you magic on that, your profit, £2400 some will be critical (jealous) the fact is tho pre tax profit has good as 2 week's work, when you break that down it's not a massive 2 wks wage each but well deserved, the person who profits the most out of this van is the person who buys it, brilliant work from both of you. Top class 👋👋👋

I used to do loads of these type of jobs for a living and so love to see others doing the same. people see what you pay for stuff and what you sell it for and they think " Great profit " but they don't realise the man hours that go into it for example; 2 men 9 days labour and then tax and national insurance ect. I once sat down and worked out that on one job I was on £1.95 an hour after everything was done and sold. after that I made sure to factor in my labour as a cost and then the PROFIT was what went to buy the next vehicle. You do an excellent job and tell it honestly thats why we watch. Cheers guys.
