VW Polo Salvage Rebuild Repair Project PT 4

[@matthewmorris931]

Can’t wait until Monday to see what you have bought

[@-abacchus]

Another amazing transformation, lads. I'd never though of anyone using a slide hammer for panel pulling, worked really well. Also, I'm one of the viewers that doesn't mind some time-lapse - It means more content per video :)

[@johnadams3730]

I am 71 I use to be a paint sprayer at a Triumph garage till I was 28 it’s the last day of 12-20 I have just found your site and I am enjoying watching you.When I was in Greenwich Auto the main agent for triumph cars I was there when the first Stag and the first TR7 came in.I retired for a year at 66 and could not stand is so went back to work mixing paint and delivering it for the motor trade and I keep my And in and do private work on cars in the summer and I restore early Lambrettas when I fill in the mood.Good to see you two working thank.

[@steveyvonnesimmons.5610]

Hi Guy’s Rob & Chris it’s got to be said your channel has brought so much happiness into my daily viewing on KZbin.As a 67 year old & a real “Motor Head” l remember as a young teenager going around door to door offering to wash & clean there car, just to sit behind the wheel l’ve only been watching you about six weeks, in this time we been through so much content Any way we have to go now.there is always

[@steveyvonnesimmons.5610]

Things

[@iainbridle1351]

I would never ever consider buying an accident repaired car ,but having said that I would not hesitate buying one from you and Chris but the way you do the job properly and don't cut corners, well done again guys another superb video 👏

[@zugbug1986]

Brings a whole new meaning to on the pull on a Friday night. Seriously though you two do a far better job of repairing cars than the main dealer I used to work for in the early 90s. Keep up the great content. Cheers.

[@richardthomas5588]

These Episode's are great better than anything on tv . Can't wait to see what's up next love the way you leave us with a cliff hanger .

[@stevenking1833]

Excited to see the harder hit stuff, my parents and family used to pick up hard hit stuff straight from a well known insurance company back in the 80's and early 90's, all used to be jigged and go back on the road, all was very very cheap purchases part of the reason is that the bloke that valued it when it was placed up for salvage used to be a family member....interesting to see the dislikes, two blokes with a couple of cameras on KZbin provide most of us with more entertainment than TV any night of the week....these dislikes must be by those people that aint got nothing else better to do than sit around on a phone and criticise hard work when they aint got the intelligence and skills at doing this themselves, keep up the effort at well done for keeping us all entertained

[@chip1pan]

Nice one both love the vids not bothered if it's a jet ski a lawnmower a cherry picker I'm interested because you two guys with your wit knowledge and presentability is endless entertainment. Keep up the great outstanding work guys. Huge thumbs up from me. 👍

[@General_Confusion]

Chris is so lucky that you know what all them jig bits are for Rob. It means he can ask you to go and get them without having to draw a picture. ;)

[@kevincross9206]

Seeing the Polo with the new wings, reminds me of the Polo Harlequin!

[@mkdavo]

Chris truly is the Gandalf of panel beating. Brilliant.👍

[@awalk5177]

I've worked on my own cars for over 40 years and I must say that your videos are excellent showing me how modern cars are put together and I find them really interesting. Don't change a thing.

[@johneverett6751]

Ah..Yes..7am here in🦘 watching the boys working..Just amazing what you can both achieve..Back to zero cases here..Hope the UK..can do the same 👍👍👍

[@surisuri8993]

That Polo is going to be absolutely gorgeous when you guys are done. Somebody is going to really enjoy that car. It's fantastic watching real craftsmen at work.

[@michaelnc10]

This reminds me how good Wheeler Dealers used to be.👍👍👍

[@petedig5809]

Very informative. I guess there are too many people watching the channel thinking it’s all too easy. Once they’ve found out that it’s not, the prices will come down again!

[@alextripp1230]

Hi Rob & Chris, Enjoyed the video today, car coming together nicely. Looking forward to seeing what you’ve bought. Cheers, Alex.

[@grayfool]

Having the right tools is important. Knowing how to use them is vital though. Good work guys, and very interesting to watch.

[@ianday5583]

Top vid for Friday guys. Don't worry about the timelapse, it's fascinating to watch regardlees.

[@Smokeysbandit]

It just keeps getting better. Keep it up guys.

[@nevillemorley5926]

Very interesting to see the "pullers" used and demonstrated.

[@tomjohntig]

You both had me very nervous when pulling the wing bracket I was waiting for the puller bracket to short out the battery it was very close to the battery. Laughed my head of when Rob said Chris will give it a little tug 1,2. That will do I think 3,4,5 ha ha ha then Chris said one more I think perfect. I just love watching you two guys moving around the car straightening the body panels back to almost new.

[@vannicrider7953]

I watch this channel for exactly the same reason as the Repair Shop. Seeing things lovingly restored with care and pride.

[@jordanwharton7446]

Cheers for the link for the bonnet brush just what I wanted lol. Looking forward to the new content coming up 👍👍

[@sruk]

😂👌👍

[@richardjones5255]

I had forgotten the front end damage last time round but you made short work of getting it sorted. Several sharp purchases have greatly helped the mission, plus the skill to correct any tricky issues like the bonnet into which you worked your magic. It is looking good though I was not clear, has the rear quarter been spot welded on now? You should have no trouble finding a new owner, once the paint and final bits are complete. It all helps to drive you forward and collect the rewards for jobs well done. You are certainly a pair of workers. Pulling the next one back into shape should be interesting and is a way of dodging the current silly prices you quoted, a damaged 09 for that money is loony tunes!

[@dince4031]

Really looking forward to seeing the polo finished it’s going to make a nice motor

[@mattjagger4360]

I think everyone would be fully supportive of strange and complex work for sure. Lots of driveway competence in viewer base for channels like this. So a completely unachievable job for the weekend warrior is great viewing.

[@kevinthomas1222]

Great to see all the attachment that go with the jig. It's been so good watching the various brackets conning back into to place great and brilliant commentary Rob. It's amazing what Chris can put right with his vast experience. Looking forward to seeing what you have bought next week!

[@Pete1975]

Can’t wait to see this one gleaming and ready for its new owner. Love the link for the bonnet broom, nice touch guys 👀🔨💰👍🏼

[@rogerblackwood8815]

I find the bodywork content really interesting as I have zero experience in that field, I'm just mechanics and electrics. It was all a bit of a mystery to me before you opened my eyes to this world of car magic! I have a friend near Bedford who does good bodywork for me, him and his dad work a little place and they are really busy. Some idiot put a stripe down all four panels of my car and James took it at 10 am and brought it back at 4pm (Yes the same day!), I just had to wash all the white stuff off!! I honestly have no clue how you do the work so this is great👍 I thought a S/h door would be the way to go with my car, but he said it was easier to repair it than take all the guts out of mine and build a new door up and he was right!! But you two can do all the bodywork and mechanics, the diesel range rover where you lifted the shell to do the engine work was a particularly interesting video. And watching the way you are doing the Viva is an absolute pleasure, such commitment to getting it 100% is rare these days! You really deserve all the success you are getting! 👍

[@david-hc6fk]

You always keep me motivated throughout the lockdowns, hands up to you mate 🙂

[@philwilliams9983]

Mini 2 days panel shop chris fixed in an hour #godlikegenius!!!!!!

[@chriswalker9850]

great vid Rob, thanks for posting 👍 helping to keep me sane in these strange times 👍😀

[@bear1245]

Great little project this one fellas 👍🏻

[@TheTomlar]

Great video lads! Keep them coming

[@tabsh]

Love how you got a link for the broom in the description...quality 😂

[@sruk]

I thought it might make a few people smile 👍

[@tabsh]

@@sruk It sure got me chuckling..keep up the amazing work chaps, makes lockdown bearable 👍

[@trainmanbob]

Hi Rob and Chris. Great work as always. Yet another really nice car comes together. Cheers, Bob

[@waynenewcombe8184]

Salvage all the way guys..your get your subs up 👌

[@ascno1970]

there is no limit to chris's talents & knowledge , he's worth more than his weight in gold 🙌 👏👏 another great video guys 👍

[@josephmccullough6685]

As expected another interesting video. You make skilled work look easy. Nice job on the front of VW polo👍

[@davemellor4697]

Rob,at the end of the day we all know why the price of the cars is going up,but thats just how it is.Buying harder hit stuff should not be a problem because people know that your repairs are first class,and will not shy away.Its just how things are with Covid our European friends and the current climate as its just simply tough out there! What narks me,is that when i am selling a car,they come round virtually MOT the car plug in there diagnostic software then bid you in the goolys but you go to any car auction and they go mad on a cat N or cat S car and will pay over book.Mate its the way of the world now but keep these videos coming because so many people know about you know and you will sell your cars no problem.

[@PaulRansonArt]

I remember as a young mechanic the first time I put down a spanner on a battery!

[@rbcleaningskegness9191]

Cracking on with the Polo now Rob and Chris, looking forward what you get next. From Richard

[@carlfirth97]

It’s coming along nicely guys, I’m sure it’ll look mint when its finished. Looking forward to the next video guys, thank you

[@michaelingoe5812]

Cracking job with jigging the car lads

[@mrt4409]

Awesome watching the Polo come together, fab project 👍🏼😎

[@amphetamineblue4172]

Rob great video. I agree totally on Copart. I used to buy a lot of stock from there, but stopped a few years ago as most of the vehicles were just getting bid up to more than you could buy an undamaged one for ! ( plus they kept increasing their fees !!! ) I know a lot was from the Eastern Europeans who would buy 30 or 40 cars at a time and come over with car transporters ( I remember chatting to a couple of guys while waiting, and they said all they did as a job was drive back and forth to Poland in full transporters all week ). Most of that was the luxury cars though as they could get them fixed for next to nothing and make decent profits. It seems now lots of home DIY repairers are bidding though hoping to make money. I wonder how many of them buy one car, lose money, then never do it again

[@skodakatie7341]

This Polo is looking great now, the description of the pulling tools was very interesting, now I understand how they work!!.

[@Ogma3bandcamp]

Spot on, as ever.

[@paulwilliamsimpson1183]

Great video keep as all going we just want more thank to all

[@johndavey72]

Hi guy's . Great show as always and very well explained .

[@richardfrancis5610]

Well done gents, great repair so far. Amazing what you can do with the jig.

[@DarcAngel77]

Can't wait to see next car guys, another informative educational and entertaining video, thank you 😀

[@cooltools007]

Really interesting , I always wondered how it was done. In the old days they welded two motors together, like my fiesta rs turbo back and 1.1 front, with a rs engine , I was convinced it was one car when the cops pulled me, but it wasn't !!

[@ninjanick4740]

Brilliant video thanks Rob& Chris!

[@davidcoates350]

Thanks guys for another informative video.

[@alancraigie7951]

Enjoyed the work on the front end of the Polo Rob. You guys are knocking this one out quickly. Great content as always. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@monkeymagic4555]

@4m49s....Busted Waffling! :)

[@alfnsue]

Great work Chris and Rob, I can't wait to see this little polo finished, it will look like a brand new car

[@a11csc]

really getting into this polo nice job so far rob and chris

[@kevinfisher7142]

great video lads cant wait to see the finished car,

[@haydenuk02]

Great work Rob and Chris it’s coming along nicely and thanks for the content stay safe and take care

[@martincunnington2154]

Enjoying watching the dozer work on the polo,its really coming together

[@merv690]

had to smile when Chris had the slide hammer on the near side wing, Rob, you like me thought that wing had come in a long way on the first or second slide, Chris from the other side said he thought it needed more, when he dropped the bonnet :guess what it needed a touch more: you can;t teach skill like that great video again guys

[@michaelhynds8035]

Such tremendously nice guys. Thank you so much, really really interesting.

[@sruk]

Thank you for the lovely comment 👍

[@benevans3733]

Well done on winning another car from copart looking forward to seeing this new car coming

[@iainf]

👍 We all love the hit stuff needing a pull. That & a day spent at the salvage market in the early 00’s were happy times.

[@DanLeeds10]

Another good video chaps, must admit when I saw the damage I thought it would be a longer series on the Polo but you’ve got that straight in no time. Agree with Rob, can’t wait to see it done.

[@benevans3733]

Love how you had the boom handle holding open the bonnet

[@pauleastham2177]

Love the channel. A pair of good guys earning a few quid sorting cars. You pair are great. There are a lot of car channels that are about washing cars, fitting a crate engine and farming out the body, you two do the lot and actually mend cars. Watching Chris jigging that Polo, just shows how much skill he's got, you can't learn the exact spot and how hard to knock or dolly a panel under tension to make it right reading a book or watching online. I've never seen a panel man who could do engines. Enjoying the HA Viva too, in the late 80s I had a low compression works HA van and it was awful. Chris is a true artisan, Golden.

[@nigelwhite1483]

Loving the work you both done and also think the workshop in the background is better than the wall and fireplace keep up the great work

[@TheDaf95xf]

Evening guys. The weekend is here and another great video to set the weekend off 👍🏻 Very interesting technical one that explaining what the puller does 😃 Have a lovely weekend and keep safe guys. Cheers Stevie 😎

[@garysmith2845]

Another top watch mate, could watch an hour long video every day on this channel 👍🏻

[@RobDavies1972]

Rob, Chris- great job, keep up the good work really enjoying the videos

[@terrydewdney207]

It’s a pleasure to watch you you are very good at demonstrating what goes where and what does what helping keeping not getting bored with lockdown

[@pm1104]

What a lovely car....love the dent pulling demo!

[@paulrixon1644]

Lovely to see it all coming together. You both make it look so easy! Well done yet again!

[@stinstoundigital]

Loving how this one is coming together. I have a soft spot for Polo's of any age, so very nice to see this. I would have absolutely no hesitation in buying a CAT N or CAT S car that you two have worked on. Keep up the good work!!

[@AG-636]

Nice job on the polo Rob and Chris 👍🏼

[@jaysonmcduck5476]

Something worth watching first thing on a Saturday morning as always nice work 👍

[@ringcrafts8546]

Great seeing the car progress yet again and is looking really good, looking forward to seeing the other damaged cars been repaired, and nice to see the other attachments for the jig.

[@Dutchie74flh]

Your videos are a tonic. Particularly like this one. A good, broad range of stuff to do to this Polo which I'm sure most will find interesting. Best of luck with your latest Copart purchases. You and Chris are working so well together which is always great to see. Just keep on doing what you're doing.......😎👍

[@dagenhamdave2611]
