    The way things are going in the world, you're doing us all a great service by keeping these vans and cars out of the scrapyard and in the hands of people who can make use of them at an affordable price.

    When I take decals off I use a rubber eraser wheel chucked up in a drill. Works better in my opinion than a heat gun, it takes off all the vinyl and adhesive but doesn't damage the paint.

    "I just polished a few quid into that one!" I loved that line, and how true!
    Excellent project and video guys. It will make someone a great commercial unit for very reasonable money. Nice work.

    The filming , presentation and content gets better and better. It’s channels like yours that means I watch very little TV anymore. Great van for someone also.

    @JAYG6390 Год назад +13

    I was a bit disappointed when you guys said you were dropping back to 2 videos a week (even though I understood why) but have to say I think the content itself has improved as a result. The videos you are putting out seem more thorough. Keep up the good work lads. Nice little flip this one! 👏👏

  • @danglebals8432
    @danglebals8432 Год назад +12

    Best way to remove the stickers is to use a wallpaper steamer. It heats up the sticker and the panel so it leaves less glue behind 👍🏻

    Rob I was in the printing industry for 29 years we used 3M citrus cleaner comes in spray can excellent for breaking down the adhesive left behind worth a try one can goes a long way.
    3M™ Citrus Base Cleaner is a liquid cleaner/degreaser used to help dissolve and remove dirt, grease, tar, and many non-curing type adhesives. It can also be used in some cases to degrease substrates for adhesive bonding in place of many chlorinated or petroleum based solvents. In many cases, however, the cleaner will not substitute for etching or similar substrate preparation.

    I don't know what it is but there is something satisfying about watching these videos. From start to finish they are brilliant videos to chill out to and gain knowledge on. Great work lads. Another brilliant video.

  • @leesmith6750
    @leesmith6750 Год назад +2

    It's great how happy and excited you get when you're doing these types of turn rounds. Just shows how much you like doing the work you're in. Vans and motor homes are great for the channel, along with cars, obviously. Love watching motorhomes come together.

    Salt of the earth motor trader putting value back into the market and helping businesses survive the absolute joke of this UK VAT economy, if it wasn’t for honest genuine businesses supporting each other where the government fails, this country would fold.

    love watching you and chris working together you always seem to have a good laugh while cracking on with the work, the quick flips help the cash flow of the longer projects , its nice to see you guys make a profit as you always take pride in your work how ever big or small the project so the profit is always well earned, thanks for the content guys 👍

  • @americanrambler4972
    @americanrambler4972 Год назад

    $5,000 for a long wheelbase van that 12 years old with only 72,000 miles in good running condition and still looks good? That is indeed a good buy! The only Ram Promasters I can find in that price range are totally crashed, wrecked and never to run again ones.
    I also like the low stance the European version of this van has and the lack of the roof clearance lights and black plastic wheel arches.

  • @Phuc_Yhou

    Cat litter is good for oil spills, petrol and a rag for a wipe over but not on tarmac.
    Great result for a few days hard work lads. 😎

    To get oil stains off your drive, pour some windscreen wash on it and then hose it away. Lifts it straight up.

  • @compostcorner5934
    @compostcorner5934 Год назад

    It's very satisfying to do a job like this ,with a bit of time and effort it's transformed a workhorse into a very clean and tidy vehicle with the potential to be converted into a camper or back on the road as a workhorse again .top job chaps as always 👍

    I've never understood the run it for a bit then drop the oil.
    Surely it was warm when parked up so all the oil would be in the sump if not more than running it for a it a bit after letter it sit overnight.

    For the spilled oil, use biological washing powder. Scrub it in on a damp day and leave it a while before washing away. It should shift it.

    those vans are about 8 inches wider than most vans, so you can get a double bed in sideways across the back, ideal camper base

    BCA use steamers to remove decals of their commerical vehicles. They turn them around pretty quick. By steamers i mean the generic wallpaper remover thing. Fairly inexpensive would love for you guys to try it next time. Will make a good video to give it a shot.

    @leonb2637 Год назад

    I am surprised you didn't clean up the inside of the back of the van or replace (maybe from the breakers) the torn cab floor mat and repair/replace the box floor board. Still you made some nice money with some 'sweat equity' and replacing the brakes, doing due maintenance so ready for the next owner. I am quite sure it will sell fast to some tradesman or someone who does deliveries and can't afford a new or newer van, especially in today's economy in the UK.

    Another bed and breakfast, (there was an overnight stay after all), or bread and butter job this time. I like these action packed ones, where you go from start to finish in one hit, hopefully with a good return along the way.
