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

[@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

[@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

[@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.

[@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

[@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

[@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.

[@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

[@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!

[@andrewbird1205]

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

[@blimpism]

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

[@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.

[@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 👍

[@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 👍

[@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!

[@michaelhynds8035]

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

[@derekgb3780]

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

[@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 ?

[@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

[@frankjames7247]

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

[@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.

[@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!

[@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 😀.

[@johnwatson3616]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@peter-e2q]

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

[@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❤❤.

[@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. 🤣

[@barrykenward9178]

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

[@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]

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.

[@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.😊

[@cybersheep]

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

[@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. 👍👍

[@murrayblair67]

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

[@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 😂😂

[@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.

[@Alexander_l322]

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

[@viviennepatterson5950]

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

[@justincase2384]

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

[@adrianbellamy5060]

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

[@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 🚗👍🏻

[@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

[@daystatesniper01]

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

[@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 👍

[@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

[@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

[@MrJonphoto]

Another great video- Josh is a natural on camera!

[@nickhoward9343]

Good old Ken autos back to your old days, Rob

[@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.

[@paultaylor9652]

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

[@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 😊

[@douglasblack302]

I was looking for a dent puller for myself, could you tell me what one Chris uses.?

[@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 🎉

[@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.

[@simoncondliffe2652]

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

[@paulwatts2192]

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

[@georgepaterson4825]

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

[@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.

[@chrisjohnson1711]

Keep up the great work guys!

[@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

[@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

[@thegees]

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

[@md-detailing]

Brilliant work as always Rob, cute little Fiat 500! :D

[@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.

[@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.

[@johnshaw4140]

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

[@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.

[@RichieMay]

Lovely job on the body work. What grit paper you using on the guide coat please?

[@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

[@trev8591]

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

[@kevinisaac9139]

Nice one Chris lovely little car she will love it great to see you two back after Christmas 👍

[@TechUK21]

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

[@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!

[@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 😅😅😅

[@michaelmcsorley3254]

Josh has picked up ur lingo 😂

[@muffindell]

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

Thanks for doing the Josh video - top bloke.

[@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.😊

[@chasleask8533]

That's a good one boys . Very varied , and a nice story on the Fiat . Bulk buying when the market is flat is a sweet move . Looking forward to 2024 .

[@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 😀😀👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧

[@leejones982]

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

[@MrButtonpresser]

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

[@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
