    This really is very good work. Well demonstrated here. I would have no issues or hesitation owning a car or driving a car repaired by yourselves to the standards I’ve viewed on this channel. Well done lads. It really is nice to see. Let’s hope your efforts set an example and standards are raised some. I guess that’ll take some matching, we can only hope. ✌️👍🇬🇧

I am missing the 3rd video each week, but totally understand why. Looking forward to seeing the new office. Another incredible video guys, absolutely loving the channel. 2023 is going to be an amazing year for you both, and you deserve it.

So wish I could afford to have my little Jimny sorted by you both! but there we are ...brilliant work guys as usual. CHEERS!

    I know all too well about the black art of car painting. I have black Mk2 Focus that someone decided to reverse into my rear passenger door. Inspired by this channel I brought a dent puller off eBay, and pulled most of the dent out. The door had some filler work in the past it seems and a chuck pulled off the door. Still a quick trip to Halfords for some supplies. did an OK job of sanding and priming the door. The base coat went OK, but the lacquer made the paint go matte.
    Again inspired by this channel, a quick trip down the M3 to Silverlake and I got myself a new door in colour.

    Another nice one, thanks to Chris and his magic touch. It did look terrible after the accident, but all that has been, cut, nibbled, or wiped away with a great result emerging once more from the workshop. Not a plasterboard or chipboard screw in sight - unlike one of your previous 'patients' which had received the equivalent of open heart bodging by a previous work specialist. You always turn out first class, well put together vehicles.

    I don't need to comment on Chris' s work , it speaks for itself . But l'm genuinely suprised he doesn't feel confident about his paintwork . From what l've seen he's more than able to get a top class finish . Chris , do you have some form of extraction ? I've been doing a lot of filler work on a mk lX Jaguar for a pal at his workshop . He bought a "Mirka" vacuum with D.A and sanding blocks . My goodness ! You can sand away as hard as you like and there 's barely a trace of filler dust ....fantastic! He's let me borrow it to do the filler work on the bonnet of my "e" type. Great work as always Guys. Thamkyou
