    There are far too many negative and incorrect opinions by the misinformed who think salvage is bad. You have and continue to do a fantastic job signposting this with factual and detailed content. By showcasing the correct and insurance company/OEM standards to repair damage, it will hopefully educate those in doubt. Great work Gents, love the content and the builds👍

    Great idea to get the complete front end so you have everything you need in the one spot as you need it. Cheers, Alex.

    I'm from Australia and stumbled across your Channel a couple of months ago. I love what you both do and you both bring a different skillset to the table and compliment each other. A great team! I look forward to more and hope one day you do an old TC/TD Ford Cortina. One of my favourites from the early 70's. Cheers, Arty

    I would suggest to those who don’t think you are doing the correct thing go watch Arthur’s Chanel and watch what he fixes
    Some of them I suggest should have gone to the wreckers but he fixes them just like new 👍👍

It will be a lot of work but it will be good when done. Thanks again Rob and Chris it is really interesting watching this sort of thing. Now go and get your tea Rob (and Chris, especially as Rob stopped you drinking your coffee earlier😁).👍👍

    A very good repair. With the measuring system. I knew a man who jigged cars with the cellete system like yours. But he would only use the bracket set for the car pick up points. He did not rate the measuring system. He used to say when it's on the brackets it is a hundred percent right. He was a sheet metal worker by trade and the best welder metalworker and car bodywork repairs I have ever seen. He was doing this kind of work in the 1980,s nothing has changed. A car is still the same repair now as it was then. Keep up the good work enjoy your stuff bit of everything. Thanks mark south Wales.

    I have been a tradesman for 30 years.Sometimes I have people who do not know my methods telling me how to do my job or that I am doing it wrong. It rubs me up the wrong way but I bite my tongue and tell them politely that I know what I am doing and they should just let me get on with it and they will be surprised with the end result. I say I wonder if Michelangelo had people telling him that he wasn't chiselling correctly when he was sculpting the statue of David. As for taking more of the car than you needed, it is way better to have it and not need it, than to need it and not have it. It is heaps easier to cut it off than to add it on. A great video as always. Thanks fellas.
