What A Bodge I'm Not Happy With This Repair

I have to do some repairs to Lee's Toyota Granvia Camper van but i'm not happy with how he wants me to repair the door card. I also sort out his rear brake lights as he has been pulled over twice. We also look at a lawnmower project from JVS (John Vernon Smith) from BBC 3 Counties Radio.

we've all got a mate like Lee, somehow they manage to brighten up your day and drive you mad all at the same time, but you wouldn't swap them for a gold clock would you 🤣

[@jpdennis1008]

Great entertainment, reminds me of a saying my old man from Islington used to say ..." There's a difference between scratching your arse and tearing the skin" My best regards to you all there

[@lynnekershaw5490]

Martin Sharon is very lucky and Stacey to have protect man you can both mend anything and save a lot of cash x

[@monniejones-duodu2920]

Martin, you are such a G҈O҈O҈D҈ F҈R҈I҈E҈N҈D҈ to Lee, and you’re very kind and patient with him☺️❗️I’ve been blessed to have several such F҈R҈I҈E҈N҈D҈S҈ in my life. God bless you and those you love with your tender heart. EXCELLENT JOB 🎉❗️

[@andrewreynolds2647]

Hi Martin you are such a kind human being, helping your pal to get his vehicle sorted, he clearly knows zero about repairing anything, I have noticed throughout watching your vids for years just how you always help out and never look for reward. Stay as you are mate you are a gem of a person, not many of those left in the world. great stuff here. Cheers. Andy. Scotland p.s love the banter.

[@Phil-1969]

Lee is a decent builder and Martin a sparky , it’s banter on here between the two of them

[@badbooks476]

Keep up the good work I'm always inspired by what you do😂

[@retrorestore]

Thank you so much 😀

[@DiecastPowderCoating]

Great looking Fiesta Martin. Lee is a bit like my Father in law. Just stick a screw in or glue it. As long as he is happy that's all that matters. Take care, Jeff

Nice n easy to change them bulbs at the roadside 😂😂😂👍👍👌

[@karentoynton8948]

Ge careful in the floor Martin who knows what’s down there hehe.brill knowledge Martin , well done.

[@colintx800]

I feel your pain! My Aunt is the same. She calls me to do a job then tells me how I should do it, she will not pay out for the simple things. She paid out £6000 for a new drive but won't pay out £9 for a new front door handle which is 20 years old. it has no paint! The euro cylinder lock in her door is outdated and needs changing but according to her it's fine. So now she has a lovely looking drive with a crap door handle which looks terrible, It would take minutes to change but nope, she knows best. OMG It makes me so angry.

[@ASH.......................1976]

I know you're not a fan of 'bodging' things Martin,but sometimes you have to go back to basics ,you still did a proper job 😊👍

[@mgtfbluestreak3956]

I had a mate like that who used 6 inch nails and wood stews to fix everything

[@JimF500]

Criky, we used to have a 1960s Hayterette mower in the 80s/90s that we bought for sixty quid with worn rings and repaired it with very little tools. It nearly broke me trying to keep it going, but it did train/ get me interested in small engines.

[@ElizaSizer]

He is the milk tray man 👍🏻

[@lindabrand5144]

I know you like to do you jobs the right way Martin just like my Hubby Roger he has to do it to.well you still done a good bodge up job for Lee as he was greatfull bles him.love watching your restore channel 😊

Martin. That was not Bodging, that is what we call a "commercially acceptable alteration" in the trade. Shame we missed you last week while we were there. I want to know what happened with the Vintage Atco LOL.
