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.
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! 👏👏
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.
Glad your surgery has worked for you. I enjoy your videos you work well together. Hard to think Chris used to not like being on camera. Nice genuine men doing good work and not ripping off anyone.
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. Bless you mate and wish you all fortune in future.
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 👍
$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.
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 👍
Great videos guys, love watching your rebuilds. Try MEK for sticker residue (glue) used with a cloth (not blue roll) it makes light work of removing the glue, cheers
Do that way raw acid wheel cleaner aswell beetween 5mm too 10mm off raw acid wheelcleaner in scooshy bottle top rest up with cold water means dont damage stuff
Great to see another commercial on here, and what a transformation especially the little work it needed (in comparison to some of the wrecks you get in there) ---=--- *And now we're in Spring, it must mean you'll be getting a campervan or two in...?* FiNgeRs CrOssEd .🤞
Great video, I like the quick turnaround ones. I can't get over how tidy it is for its age, both inside and out. It's really going to be a great van for someone. Top work. 👍
We need to see a bit more of your own stuff. I'd love to see a video series of your S1 RST restoration. Good work though lads. That van looks lovely now 😊👍
Cracking video guys . 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.
I bet you wish you could get that sign writing off as quickly as it seems when you are time lapsing😅 Great van and should think you enjoy these quick turn arounds as a change from the more in-depth projects!
Firstly Rob how nice it is to see you round the business side of the desk😉. A cracking van guys someone will be very pleased with that....don't forget that yucca plant up the corner....Thanks guys take care...
Hi rob and Chris, great job on the van, well done on doing the break dices and pads, many people wouldn't have done that fair play lad's, from marty in Belfast northern Ireland God bless
Fiddlestix , wish that I had 4k , I'd have that motor in a heartbeat , hopefully you'll have another at the end of September , bustin' to get my licence back off the quack and DVLA , strokes are an absolute pain , hey ho , brilliant turn around ladz , I can see that one flying out the door , have a great week boys
You guys ever thought about using a toffee wheel for stickers? I use it for double sided tape and stickers. Only downside is you can’t really use it on plastic
keep up the good work fella's, love the content! something different ALL the time. Really refreshing stuff, nice easy turnaround and you've done all the nitpicky crap that goes with buying a commercial vehicle. the new owner can purchase it and put to use immediately at an extremely fair price! love the channel boys and appreciate your insights and tenacity. Solid thumbs up as usual ;) X
Hi Rob,Chris I find the best thin for removing glue residue is Autoglym tar remover it leaves a slight powdery finish when it drys so very easy to clean it off properly van looking good cheers
i brought my relay fully covered in sign writing also. i infested in a rubber wheel and its amazing then went over with buffer machine cant see a single sticker mark now
Get hold of some Tar and Glue Remover for taking the adhesive off,or white spirit can be better than petrol or thinners,doesn't evaporate so fast. Like you say though,not a nice job!
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 no fuel filter rob [not bad to do, just pull out the l/h h/lamp] excellent work chaps
Looks like News at ten has got a new newsreader just need to shuffle the papers at the end and put your pen in your inside pocket of a jacket have a glass of water on the desk and play a little bit of music at the end fantastic newsreader. Love the video as always Rob brilliant 👏👏👍
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.
Just bought my 2019 citreon back from insurance for 3k they wrote it off for nothing one of the best vans I've owned getting it repaired thanks to your videos encouraging it!
Superb video as usual lads ,WOW it did scrub up amazingly well and 4K for that is bargain central ,just to add Rob like you , i love it when you do these commercials .Thank you
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.
Seen a few ex fleet vans where you can still the lettering coming through , spoils it , you made a nice job there make an ideal camper conversion with that milage .
Great video as usual guys!👌 in the future use should make another RUclips channel an both post vlogs on it when use are out on your travels or at car shows would be really interesting 👍
Great quick flip and will be a cheap van at 4k especially with that mileage,missed Chris at the end with you but I suppose it doesn't take both to do the numbers 🙂👍
ive been there taking off graphics on a van it is a rubbish job !! my ex boss was a proper tight git so he then sold off the big renault maxi mover i got the job to take off all the huge graphics he had over it ! nice job tidying that van up !
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.

rob looks like he is reading the news at the end
....and finally....
Well, he has already done the weather! 😂
And it's goodnight from me and it's goodnight from him 😊
😂
Is that a keeper
"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.

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 👍🏻
The quick flips always give you a good feeling knowing you will make some money. A job well done Rob and Chris, thank you. 🥕👍👍

This van has been totally transformed, from unloved workhorse, to a very presentable vehicle, ready for many more years of hard work, well done guys😊.
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.

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.
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 👍
You can get rubber brushes that fit on a drill. they are said to be very good at cleaning glue residue. 😃😃😃
What a cracking van that's going to be for someone. Always love that you're so fair with your prices and honest, fellas.
Great videos guys, love watching your rebuilds. Try MEK for sticker residue (glue) used with a cloth (not blue roll) it makes light work of removing the glue, cheers
Guys I'm car detailer in Australia I use wall paper steamer one with a plastic head on it works great getting rid of glue and all keep up great work
What a great job. Lovely van for someone just starting out. Agree about autoglym tar remover, works a treat
Do that way raw acid wheel cleaner aswell beetween 5mm too 10mm off raw acid wheelcleaner in scooshy bottle top rest up with cold water means dont damage stuff
Great to see another commercial on here, and what a transformation especially the little work it needed (in comparison to some of the wrecks you get in there) ---=--- *And now we're in Spring, it must mean you'll be getting a campervan or two in...?* FiNgeRs CrOssEd .🤞
Good evening Rob and Chris, nice little van there and a good watch. Thank you for taking the time to upload another video. Ged
Great video, I like the quick turnaround ones. I can't get over how tidy it is for its age, both inside and out. It's really going to be a great van for someone. Top work. 👍
I'm glad it was dry for you putting the discs and pads on Rob.
We need to see a bit more of your own stuff. I'd love to see a video series of your S1 RST restoration.
Good work though lads. That van looks lovely now 😊👍
Cracking video guys .
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.
That turned out to be a very nice van. A tidy profit, well deserved 👏
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.
I bet you wish you could get that sign writing off as quickly as it seems when you are time lapsing😅 Great van and should think you enjoy these quick turn arounds as a change from the more in-depth projects!
Office is a nice little touch to the ending of the videos. 👍
Fantastic flip guys !!
Been a while since you had a quick flip !!
Hope it does someone proud that van !!
See you in the next video guys !!
Great turn around on the van, I think the wheels make the biggest difference.
Firstly Rob how nice it is to see you round the business side of the desk😉. A cracking van guys someone will be very pleased with that....don't forget that yucca plant up the corner....Thanks guys take care...
Hi rob and Chris, great job on the van, well done on doing the break dices and pads, many people wouldn't have done that fair play lad's, from marty in Belfast northern Ireland God bless
Halfords bug and tar remover pulls off all decal glue. Used and tested by me. Great stuff for job.
Hi Rob,maybe try getting a set of jaws behind dents on rear corner with a small block of wood.planish from outside with pressure on inside?
Bit of hard work, amazing transformation, lovely flip that guys nicely done 👏🏻👏🏻
I use Osccar silicone remover for glue etc.
Hope you both had a good Christmas
@16:52 this is one of the reasons you know the guys take pride in their work AND workplace. The simple things make all the difference in my eyes 👍
Hahaha - I never saw the part about Rob explaining the leak as I wrote the above as I saw it.
Excellent ~ love these when they are all done in one video, great entertainment guys Thanks again
Best part of the week is seeing these videos. Both smashing the content. Well in boys!
I’ve said it before your best profit is in the buying! Well bought! 👍
Best way to get signwriting off a van is by using a wallpaper steamer.
Always like it when you refresh the commercial vehicles, they always look really good after
This is my favourite kind of sruk video. Quick flip, good honest work, love it!
Fiddlestix , wish that I had 4k , I'd have that motor in a heartbeat , hopefully you'll have another at the end of September , bustin' to get my licence back off the quack and DVLA , strokes are an absolute pain , hey ho , brilliant turn around ladz , I can see that one flying out the door , have a great week boys
You guys ever thought about using a toffee wheel for stickers? I use it for double sided tape and stickers. Only downside is you can’t really use it on plastic
What a great looking van you both made it look completely different it looks great what a great quick turn round great to see you both .

i brought my relay fully covered in sign writing also. i infested in a rubber wheel and its amazing then went over with buffer machine cant see a single sticker mark now
I always put a Tarpaulin under the car when changing oil, it catches any spills or splashes & keeps the driveway clean.
Get hold of some Tar and Glue Remover for taking the adhesive off,or white spirit can be better than petrol or thinners,doesn't evaporate so fast. Like you say though,not a nice job!
Hi rob & Chris, I love your videos specially seeing you rob getting so excited when there’s a quick turnaround lol😂😂.
Love the office desk..very cool !
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
no fuel filter rob [not bad to do, just pull out the l/h h/lamp]
excellent work chaps
When I did a bit of valeting years back, we used paraffin to remove the glue from stickers as well as wax on new motors.
Looks like News at ten has got a new newsreader just need to shuffle the papers at the end and put your pen in your inside pocket of a jacket have a glass of water on the desk and play a little bit of music at the end fantastic newsreader. Love the video as always Rob brilliant 👏👏👍

Use acid tone for the adhesive off its the best thing ever but make sure you wipe it off straight away
Nice camper conversion great vid as ever guys 👍
Well done guys great work on the van will be great for someone who needs a good van for work especially in this climate
Great video Rob Chris a joy to watch.
Done a good job lads ideal for a camper conversion project ,yeah done a great job lads
Good job lads, would be a good candidate for a camper conversion.👍👍👍👍
Perfect motor home project there guys. Sound job well done🙌
When it come to doing the numbers, you’ll have to add a tenner for the electricity on that heat gun Rob.
Your lecky must be cheep. Mine would cost the same as the van is worth. 🤣🤣
Superb video as usual lads ,WOW it did scrub up amazingly well and 4K for that is bargain central ,just to add Rob like you , i love it when you do these commercials .Thank you
Only one thing to say. Easy work, great quick flip. Simply VANTASTIC.
Cheers, BOB

Great Content in these videos ,👍👏👏👏Thanks For Posting ! Really Enjoy Watching!😀😀😀
Always found panel wipe good for getting glue off
That van looks great Rob! It all helps to put food on the table! Nice job👍
Last 5 minutes of video reminded me of reginald bosanque and the news at 10
Surgical spirit is great for getting sticker / wrap glue off. £5 a bottle from Boots. Smells great too.
Seen a few ex fleet vans where you can still the lettering coming through , spoils it , you made a nice job there make an ideal camper conversion with that milage .
One of the best glue removers you'll find is eucalyptus oil, it also smells great. Common in Australia but I'm not sure if it's available in Pomgolia.
Avery Adhesive Remover is excellent at removing sticker glue.
Hi Rob, Autoglym make a Tar and Adhesive remover, it should be pretty decent.
Keep up the good work, great videos.
Rob try a caramel wheel it fits on a drill it’s used to get stickers off paint work very good bits of kit
Yeah, that works wonders
Great video as usual guys!👌 in the future use should make another RUclips channel an both post vlogs on it when use are out on your travels or at car shows would be really interesting 👍
Great quick flip and will be a cheap van at 4k especially with that mileage,missed Chris at the end with you but I suppose it doesn't take both to do the numbers 🙂👍
Great quick turn around lads 👍well done
You certainly polished some money back into the value of that van - great video lads, cracking job done. 👍✊👏
ive been there taking off graphics on a van it is a rubbish job !! my ex boss was a proper tight git so he then sold off the big renault maxi mover i got the job to take off all the huge graphics he had over it ! nice job tidying that van up !
We had an ‘08 plate one and it had the same funny mark in the bonnet too! It’s weird
Brilliant well done guys can’t believe this same van from start looks lovley now done one gonna be very to buy this 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
if you want to remove stickers easy try a caramel wheel sticker removal, it is amazingly quick, and does not damage the paint..
Yessss more like this please especially vans. Thanks as usual guys.
We have a Fiat Ducato 160hp basically same van, i really like to drive it and has been good as gold. Good one guys
I'm a big fan of Eucalyptus oil for sticker removal.
I'm really glad Chris did those bits of paintwork, even if it's not perfect.
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.
