[@user-te1le7ck6b]

Bloody hell is there nothing this man can’t do or has knowledge of , rob your lucky guy to have someone like Chris 👍

[@rscosworth15]

Chris is like a uk version of andrew camarata awesome video guys

[@bensdrivewaygarage9014]

Without Chris Rob would be limited, without Rob Chris would be limited. Just a great pair together

[@adrianroberts607]

They just value each other and it is not just about money with these guys.

[@charlesallanstewart-kl2op]

Yeah that scenery bring back memories of my younger days, also the scones & cream with jam lol , makes me miss england too . Thou l thought dropping the whole front would make it easier to work on .🙄😮😁

[@andrewforeman5716]

Good to see Chris and Rob purchasing upgraded equipment that should make life so much easier well done.

[@liamgordonwl01lrg73]

Rob I feel that Chris gets most of the complements and people don't really take in that you are as much good at what you do and I for one really appreciate your regular video and I don't know what I would do without them I have supported the channel from the beginning although I have had several accounts LOL 😂 you both are amazing and I really hope you always work together and don't go sepret and I would hate for yous both to leave KZbin hope you are well and keep the video coming Couse you are the best motor vehicle KZbin channel and I love your content keep up the brilliant work. Liam from Livingston Scotland

[@tonymerrett]

yea!

[@adamweston4152]

Good choice to use recycled stuff and it's saving you guys alot of cash, I think that Chris is making excellent use of this land he has and the spray booth will be a valuable asset that will increase the amount of work you can do yourself thus paying for itself steadily, I always look forward to seeing what's next and I love you guys too... A pair of characters!.

[@jasoncharlton]

Thanks for showing us the yard, please keep us updated on the progress 🙏🏼👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@McKluskie]

its great to see things moving forward in a positive way for you both, you both deserve all the good you get.

[@philtucker1224]

Chris seems a natural at fixing things and seems to really get a buzz out of it. A wise old philosopher once said: “when a man finds a job he truly loves, it ceases to be work” live long and prosper Rob & Chris ! 🙏

[@georgedaville4662]

As a retired Civil Engineer I can see the quality of the work that Chris has done to the yard infrastructure. Volvo will be a nice project to see being fixed. Love the new Ramp/ jig, it will make life much easier for jig work and give you another ramp. Great content as usual, your excitement came through leith your new kit and yard re- modelling.👍🇬🇧😎

[@mancavehobbies6213]

Thanks Rob and Chris been a bad day with my bipolar . Your videos always cheer me up . THANKYOU.

[@ged3680]

Best wishes sir. Ged

[@MiracleMitch]

Wow you guys are fast becoming (or already are) THE best salvage repairers in the South East. Great upgrades, new office, expanded yard, paint booth planned, newer jig, and more. Remember when Chris was camera shy? Nope me neither! 😂

[@essex__rider]

Chris is a wizzard! Mechanic, woodworker, spray painter, groundworker and structural engineer, amongst other things. Oh, and sailor ⛵

[@1mic3]

Doesn’t matter what you post, it’s always an interesting and entertaining video. Looking forward to seeing you use the new equipment and seeing the yard finished 👍👍👍👍

[@brianwhelan9425]

Good man Chris you have great ideas and you and Rob are going from strength to strength

[@terence2678]

I really enjoy this channel every week. Great repairs with no skimping.

[@thejackofalltravels8267]

Lots happening I just want to say how happy it makes me when Chris is talking about reusing things. I call it on purpose instead of repurposing. Because we need so badly to change our actions and minds about what trash is. Chris is a leader and visionary with his hands and his mind. The new jig is exciting. Thanks

[@johnmehaffey9953]

Never a bad thing to put money into the business, nice to see Chris’s hard work on the yard is making progress,I’m retired now but I remember guy’s working on the gambons looking like the most bored person’s on the site just putting stones in and they had to keep the flat sides of the stone against the steel cage, I told them that they had it easy I’d to build the stone walls with only my builders line to keep things straight and level, happy days remembered, nice post guys, forgive the pun please

[@Car-dash-Ian]

Great work there guys! Chris can turn his hand to anything!

[@markmurphy3578]

A good job all around the gaff! The Volvo looks like a great project. The yard is something else! How the heck does Chris know how to do so much? Is he from another planet? And the new tool looks like a great idea. I’ve seen other people using the scissor lift as their main lift and they are great. To have the dozzer integrated as well is another level! 👏

[@andygjones5524]

The new jig system will be a game changer for you and the yard, as I would expect, is a work of art.

[@Fenders25]

Great update, yard is looking great, nice bit of gear coming. That will make life a bit easier.

[@leonjones7404]

Love what Chris has been doing to the yard! Looks like it’s going to create so much more room for you guys, can only mean bigger better things for you boys which means loads more videos to come. Cushty

[@westmidlandsdashcam6717]

What makes you two so watchable is how genuine you are. I could watch you boil a kettle and listen to chris explain how it’s working

[@roypowell3450]

A great piece of kit, and the yard looking superb all your hard work between you paying off...at the 4 minute past 10 workshop! Take care guys....

[@paulcullen814]

Nice to see Chris again. You said about making the headlights easier to change bulbs. A friend of mine has a Renault Megane, the one with the ugly back end. She needed to change the dipped beam and sidelight bulbs. To do so, you have to jack up the car, remove the front wheel and a cover over a hole in the wheel arch liner. Then you can get to the back of the headlight to change the bulbs, put the cover back on then the front wheel, then do the same on the other side.

[@LordFawlty]

The knowledge Chirs has is amazing!!

[@jeffshaw4553]

Brilliant love the update on the yard update and love the new scissor lift amazing guys gonna massively help you out with the repairs brilliant guys looking forward to see it in action 👍🏽👍🏽

[@martin54123]

Guys, as you may know I live in the Alentejo, Portugal and have been trying to work out how to build a fence/wall to keep back a slowly deteriorating earth bank, your fence design has given me great ideas, many thanks and yours' look brill'. The new ramp/frame must have cost a few bob, but is awesome and will make your life easier so will pay for itself over time. As always, a great channel, compulsive viewing, thank you guys. 👍👍👍

[@hydorah]

New frame machine is a beast! The old one will be a great earner for someone as we've seen what the master can do with it!

[@richardjones5255]

Not sure what the new name should be, upgrade- R-U, some lovely new kit that should really help the work flow. Much easier to operate and use, you have earned it with all your hard work.

[@thefloorkiller]

Brilliant, Chris has been busy with the groundwork creating good use of the land, love how it's all coming together with the upcoming spray booth, great upcycling of the materials and design work, that ex rental land would make a great car lot. The new ramp and dozer unit is brilliant, can't wait to see that set up

[@markplenty2631]

Love the upgraded jig, also sinking it in to the workshop floor is a good idea. Look forward to seeing it in action!

[@barrywood5357]

The transformation and foresight of both of you is a credit to the channel. Chris is a master of design and both of you deserve to earn what you reap and charge that bit more for what you sell . Nice one Crack on

[@davidhatton6858]

Lovely bit of stuff guy's, will save some messing setting up. Robs like a kid at Christmas. Looking forward to seeing it in action 👍

[@gordyl9247]

What i really like about this channel is the fast pace and the realities of the business ,always something interesting around the corner 👍👍😎

[@harrygiles1098]

Respect to Chris, re-using, and recycling x

[@jasonharryphotog]

not watched much recently but good to see you guys investing in your setup, good choices made guys.

[@jimhutton4352]

I think you guys are great. I’m buoyed by your positivity in every upload. I’m truly happy that you’re channel and business is thriving 👍🏻. I’ve followed you since the Ferrari and never miss a video. I struggle with me mental health and had to stop work last year from a job in engineering so your content is a massive help to me. Thank you boys, really thanks a lot

[@stevencoyne4971]

Keep Strong Jim ,I was in engineering too ,lots of stress but ,you will get through it mate 👍👍👍👏👏👏

[@philtucker1224]

They’re the perfect partnership, Rob is the master at getting fabulous cars to repair and that in turn keeps Chris well fed with work to do his magic. Long may they prosper together! 🙏👍

[@frankhilden103]

I watch ever single video you put up and when my depression is starting and my anxiety start watch your videos it helps me all my life I wanna learn how fix cars and vans my dreams was when I was younger was too be able too fix cars and vans learn from your videos as help me alot I wanna thanks you both so much and I love watching my favourite cars you repair that is old ford cosworths and old Ford escorts

[@properpropertyplanning2412]

Absolutely love the video guys, you both keep the videos fresh and entertaining. The yard is looking great. Looking forward to seeing the new ramp in operation.

[@wayneroberts3871]

Good video with great content guys! Always good to see a variety of topics with Chris’s other talents of course.. Keep up the good work guys!!

[@peterdnreynolds777]

Wow!! Chris definitely has been busy!! Definitely some hard graft in the yard and it looks brilliant too. Looking forward to seeing the new kit in use. Hope all is well, take care

[@HowardLeVert]

Salvage Rebuilds UK: the one channel that genuinely educates, informs and entertains :) Excellent to see the business upgrading its equipment, can't wait to see that new jig in operation. I wish I could find someone as knowledgable, honest and BS-free as you two to fix the ECU on my car.

[@johnchincotta1qwdb15]

Superb video gents.Nice to see how the works are progressing in the yard.Nice new equipment too

[@johndavies6246]

Even though the yard is still a work in progress, you can see the potential there, just the fact that it will all integrate together with the extra space and access is going to be such an all round bonus for you guys. Love the Solar wall idea, that bank-top is a perfect spot for it. Keep up the great work.

[@michaelstaunton1632]

That new lift / jig will be a game changer for you & Chris now so best of luck with it brilliant for the channel 👌👌👌

[@QueenAbigail.the1st]

Blimey so glad you guys are expanding and that yard will look good when finished, pretty much everything on one site, WELL DONE!!!

[@shaun30-3-mg9zs]

Look's like the Volvo will be a great build,What impress me was the building work in the yard Chris has done amazing job . Chris and Rob look after your selves see you on the next one 😃😃🚗🚗🚗👍👍👍

[@md-detailing]

Chris is the man, hes so smart! Great buy Rob and good luck on the rebuild on the V40 Rob! :D

[@zzhughesd]

Great news all around Chris and Rob. What a channel.

[@jamesallen712]

Great work by Chris in the rented part. Looking good for the new kit. The new volvo looks to be another swift repair.

[@Jmcg1959]

Well done guys, outside looking great and something new for the inside, you both deserve the benefits from your hard work😀

[@johnpritchard2772]

Hello Chris and Rob, what a great mix of content from the Volvo and new jig unit. Be great to see the development of the yard and the intended planing for the spray booth. very exciting times for you both and your viewing followers. Best wishes from Lincolnshire

[@SJR313]

I got one of those lifts a year ago and the clamp on dozer is amazing! Love Chris’s work in the yard, that man can turn his hand to anything and best of all you are both so humble 👍👍

[@jimthornton2898]

Love seeing your developments around the place. Exciting times for you guys. The paint booth is also going to be a game changer. You have quickly become my favorite channel and I’m rapidly making my way through the back catalogue. Thanks for such interesting entertainment.

[@williamdonly7966]

Fantastic buy Rob. Thanks Chris for the update on your hard work 👍 we'll done .

[@philtucker1224]

It’s lovely to hear about Chris’s recycling wheeling and dealing, as they used to say in the old days, “where there’s muck there’s brass” 😁👍💯

[@DingleyDell]

Really excited for you guys, extending the yard, a paint booth, upgrading your workshop kit, making office space and on top of all that, managing to turn around cars at a smart pace. Great to see.

[@Hassan123H]

Great video, really enjoyed this. Look forward to seeing two cars in the workshop being worked on at the same time. Hasn’t been like that since the LSE days

[@Rich10000]

Nice to see you guys doing well, progressing and buying new toys. I'm enjoying watching very much.

[@JasonSmith-tv2zw]

Really enjoyed the video. I'm a civil/structural Engineer and I admire Chris's knowledge of building, I'd employ him. Love the shiny rig as well, looking forward to seeing it in action

[@Neil-Hanson67]

So pleased for you two guys with the new equipment, looking forward to seeing even better content if thats possible, well done to you both.

[@ged3680]

Good evening Rob and Chris, a great video showing the updates on the yard. The lift you have purchased is a great bit of kit. Looking forward to seeing it in action. Lots of lovely comments this evening about you two. Thank you for taking the time to upload another video. Ged

[@johnhooton8299]

Must be like Christmas for Chris, looking at that smile I think he likes the new bit of kit well done lads things are on a well deserved up👍👍

[@karter5351]

Great stuff guys. A lot of work in the yard, looking forward to seeing the booth go up. That new bench system will create you some capacity and flexibility. Be great when you get it recessed into the floor

[@trev8591]

Lower yard is coming on well. Lift is an amazing upgrade to the shop. Chris must be like a kid in a sweetie shop!

[@garylowe3745]

Well done on the new equipment I really can’t wait to see you use it on the Volvo

[@GordonNicol]

That looks like a mega piece of kit! Is it your camera or KZbin, but the video is in full HD quality, picture looks great

[@MotorhomeTrio]

Great to see the new bit of kit Rob & Chris, can’t wait to see it all installed and you guys working with it 👍🏻

[@paultaylor9652]

Congratulations guys on the purchase, you both work very hard in different ways. Looking forward to seeing it installed and working now.

[@westernmonitor]

What I have always loved about you guys is the progress you always make and this new spray booth is another cracking example. Continued good fortune you deserve it.

[@colinw1591]

Well done gents.... Looks like a great piece of kit and look forward to seeing it in use 👍

[@silsbo7535]

Great to see the results of Chris’s landscaping work. The spray booth and new ramp/jig will help a lot. I look forward to seeing them both in use 👍

[@johnhughes7274]

Excellent content today lads, a little look at Chris’s groundwork skills. Updating workshop machinery. Great stuff.👏👏

[@terryhorn9281]

Good move Lads, this willgive you more space to work I found that the Jig table got in the way at times and was heavy to move around on your own , keep up the good work.

[@Alexander_l322]

What a lovely new jig! That car is lovely too I had one but it was a V70 and they are really nice mine was a cat S rear quarter was caved in but it was still brilliant. The work Chris is doing looks great but definitely hard work but it’s coming on well.

[@cornishrider]

Fantastic guys! delighted for you both that you are able to continue progressing the channel and business!

[@simplysimon9868]

Great video and Chris's landscaping looks proper!! The new dozer looks good 👍

Well done on the upgrade, anything that makes life easier for our old bones is a win, (maybe add a chair lift upgrade on the side of the new jig to get Chris up and down easier 😊)

[@olivers.6420]

Exciting news guys!! Great to see the yard, so though through!!

[@HM.Hatchet205]

Do really enjoy your videos now, alot better with more of chris and his storys :)

[@geordieron5864]

It's good now and again to digress from working around cars and include such as Chris's 'construction' work and showing us around the new equipment. Variety is the spice of life, well done tp you both.

[@MLB975]

It’s amazing to see how far you guys have come from the very first Fiestas and 500s being done on the back of the truck. Congratulations to the both of you. Long may it continue!!

[@seancoleman8528]

That is an impressive bit of kit , well done guys you can justify having it as you use it so much, looking forward to seeing how it turns out

[@jasonwaterhouse50]

That's a belting job Chris has done on the yard very nice. And the new jig ramp looks fab I can see your both excited to get stuck into it cheers guys best channel on KZbin 😊😊😊😊😊

Nice bit of equipment coming, looking forwards to seeing it in action when it's installed.

[@Jim_M_75]

Smart bloke is Chris, cracks on with any job and it's good to see what I presume is investing the money from the channel back into the yard and shop. Property will always be worth more than anything else, cheers lads.

[@tomjohntig]

Fantastic tool for the shop. Was really interesting to see the work Cris has been doing to the grounds thanks for a very good video Rob now bring on the V40
