Let's all appreciate what a humble bloke Chris is. There's folk on channels giving bit the big spuds while he, and Rob in many other ways, have forgotten more than they'll ever know. They always say it...Just 2 blokes filming what they do in real life. 👍
And that's why we watch them! I would be confident buying a crash damaged car from the boys!
It was therapy watching Chris work that panel back into shape to receive the new section 😊
To think a few years ago, Chris would even talk on camera. Channel has come on leaps and bounds. By far, the best rebuild channel. You guys work so well together.
Gamble too far on the BMW. ..............................Obviously all the best, hope you don't loose out.
Maybe Britclips (hit clips) used for clipping cables to metal girders would work as temporary panel fixings before welding & be reused a few times more available in many different fixing thickness & easily available from electrical wholesalers !
Chris always says 'if anyone interested' mate 280,000 of us are interested you do some blinding work love it more of it fellow
100% could watch a whole video on him explaining and talking through what he’s doing 😂
Those old enough will remember Tony Hart on kids TV in the afternoon. Watching him produce a masterpiece from nothing was just amazing. Watching Chris is the very same. He is incredibly good at what he does and it's such a privilge to get to see him at work. Long may it continue.
👍👍👍
Rob and Chris ought to do a little montage video of some of their projects.......with Tony Hart's Gallery music 😂😂😂
Mr Bennett would love it 👍👍
Does that make Rob Morph 😁
@@BettySwollocks13you saved me typing that 😂
Love watching Chris on the tools. With skills like his it'd be a shame not to pass them on to the next. Get an apprentice. Be good for the channel too.
It's always nice to see Chris doing chassis work! I admire his skills and craftsmanship! Crack on lads!
Not many people in the Trade come close to Chris, Mans a genius at what he does.
Hello both, the skills along with the bodybuilding knowledge that Chris has is amazing! Chris has a very quite nature, never bragging and always has time to simply explain the proceedure(s) that he is going to use for various repairs.. Rob is always there to give a hand, apart from searching and ordering the various parts! What a wonderful "parnership" you have - apart from being true / real friends!! Best wishes from Lincolnshire!
Chris makes it look so easy I feel some people may not appreciate his skill.It's a privilege to watch such a fantastic Craftsman and grafter working on this Crafter!!!
Love watching Chris doing this type of repair work. Very skilled chap 👌👍
It's satisfying watching someone repair what looks like a impossible repair. You both make it look easy which obviously it is not.👍
Chris, I’d never find it painful watching you working your magic on the metal! Excellent work by the Master! 👌🛠🇬🇧😊
Love the way you set that brace up Chris. Showing your experience 👍
Chris is quite a craftsman. I have never seen anyone put so much pride in their work. Much respect to both of you.
Lots of moaning in the comments re the M4 Competition competition but thanks for doing it guys. Ive got my ticket and glad for the chance.
So, Chris is also very articulate to go with his pleasantness!
Why don't you sleeve your panel joints like others do?
He could have just said, because I'm good at my job.
More of these educational snippets please, about the industry and how it's changing.
It's a joy to watch an expert at work, brilliant Chris 👏👏👏
Brilliant job Chris. I work in the trade and i prefer to do a accurate cut rather than putting steel in and using glue. It is going to be a nice van for someone after you guys finish it .
Never ceases to amaze me how skilled Chris is and such a humble guy. Great to see him working his magic on these vehicles 😊
please do a lot more live recording and explaining how to fix something, I think we all love learning from him.
Of all the videos you have done, this is one of the best so far. We get to really understand how Chris and Rob work together. Chris explains his thoughts and ideas on how he does a particular job and shows just why buying a vehicle from these two guys is one of the best things you will ever do. A very long way from the earlier videos where Chris hated being in front of the camera. Well done guys. Cheers, Bob
I’m not a mechanic or anything to do with the motor trade but I do find your videos very interesting, Your teamwork is amazing you both seem to know what the other person is doing and that’s amazing, Keep up the great work guys thank you 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
The confidence Chris moves metal with is impressive, so much experience, it’s great 👍🏻
Hi Guys, don't normally comment but just want to say l have watched your channel for a long time and both of you still seem brim full of enthusiasm for all (nearly all) of the projects.
The skill and knowledge is top notch and l would certainly buy one of the repaired projects of you.
Best Regards. Paul
The smile on Chris' face when he said 'you won't get the side door in the berlingo' another cracking video lads!
Chris is great. His confidence in doing the repairs is outstanding which comes from years in the game
Chris is a craftsman love watching him work brilliant more please 👍👍👍
Chris is humble with the comments & the true glory come from turning the project around from a dogs dinner to royal banquet &makes it look easy !
Chris is a genius 👍 we genuinely enjoy watching him do his work
Total pride in his work. A thing that is so often missing these days.
Chis is an excellent tradesman. Nothing is a problem.
You said before you started the sill you were going live and hope it’s not to painful,watching a
master at work is never painful can sit all day and watch it
Top guys top channel no other repairers get close to crisis standard of work he is the master just brilliant the pair of you 👏👏👏👏👏👍
The old ways are time proven and the best. Top work on this gents.
Good evening Chris and Rob, another great video. “Every day’s a gamble”, that’s true for everyone in most walks of life. Excellent work by Chris. Thank you for taking the time to upload another video. Ged.
Next video will have Rob sat in front of the fire giving an official "gamble responsibly and don't forget to take a break" warning.
With a picture of the Audi A1 Chris bought as a reminder😂
Got to say, is there anything Chris doesn't know!!! What a skilled guy 👍👍
Chris is genius when finished wouldn't even know it been in accident brilliant👌
Hello Rob and Chris, great work on this VW crafter van, Chris has done his magic and fitted the door panel.
Good to hear Chris talking his way through the "JOB". The master at work. very clever guy. But i am aware that it takes 2 to run the Business your contribution is equally as valuable. Thanks for the vid.😃
Chris works magic as usual and the van job benefits. Modern MIG welding allows but joins in nonstructural panels that would not have been possible some years ago. I remember the issue of cut and shut jobs, badly brazed together on the basis of where the weld landed all was good and where it did not, cover it with underseal or fiber-glass . Back then it often was rife, and the results were bad.
Hi rob and Chris, great job on the van, shouldn't take too long to fix from marty in Belfast northern Ireland God bless
Another top draw repair by Chris , looks great won’t be long before it’s back on the road ,good luck guys 👍👍 22:45
What a transformation, it looked quite severe but after cutting away the damage just made it look so much better, can see.a quality repair coming again 👌👌
Chris could make building a new Egyptian pyramid look easy!
love watching chris he is a craftsman in body work
To think a few years ago, Chris would even talk on camera. Channel has come on leaps and bounds. By far, the best rebuild channel. You guys work so well together.
Chris makes it look so easy which I know it isn't, it's years of hands on experience. will definately look good when done.👍👍👍
Banksy needs to watch these videos to see a true artist at work.
Hi Guys ! Chris . You're spot on with modern repair methodology some quarter panel replacements prevent any welding and glues and rivets are only allowed . Love your work Chris , reminds me of me ! I would probably have given the sliding door a couple of hours to see if it could repair . Thanks both
Chris is an absolute genius and very humble with it. What a guy. Brilliant with all he does.
More quality work from Rob and Chris. Interesting to see first hand how a vehicle is properly repaired . This is my favourite RUclips channel. Two good guys working together as a team and turning out great results every time. Respect to you both.
I love this channel for its hands-on, honest approach. You guys are both genuine and very knowledgeable.
nice work, Chris. It's good to see a master at work 👍
chris hasn't been a panel worker too long he's still in his prime !!😉 its starting to look good , look forward to the next one guys , 👍
Love watching the work taking place, and just what is involved in repairing vehicles, Chris is explaining thing very well.
love Chris's down to earth practicality
That will be a nice van for someone when it's done chris is brilliant at what he does your the best chris
Great watching chris doing his stuff , what a clever chap , all explained clearly with no frills. top job........
Such a perfectionist chris and an absolute fantastic teacher, thanks Chris for teaching us your skills❤
Once again a fantastic video guys.
I bought a few cars from local businesses over the years and every one had been swapped out before selling . Proper genuine salvage cars were always the best buys.
Evening Rob & Chris 😊 When I saw the start of this video I thought oh no what a a big mess 🙄 But as soon as Mr cool guy Chris opened it up what a difference then you turned up with the replacement panel boom it looked so different 👍🏻 Well done again guys 👍🏻
Neat work guys . Clear and precise plan of how to repair the damage coming together great.
Its still good watching Chris work his magic on bodywork. Cheers guys for sharing this.
Life's a gamble and as they say you've got to be in it to win it. With Chris and Rob's skill and talent, chances are they'll probably win more than they lose. Cheers guys
Another great one lads. I heard Jason Plato talking about a washing machine repair man visiting his place and him taking enthusiastically about this and that about repairing washing machines and how Jason was transfixed for 40m without a thing to say …all because the bloke loved what he did and was able to articulate it so well.
A bit like Chris and arches on commercial vans.
I never knew I could watch content like that but watch I do because it’s great watching.
BTW lads, when you’ve got something small to show us and you want the camera to focus on it, either put your palm up behind it to fill the backdrop or bring it to your chest so it becomes the main focus rather than the background.
Chris is the man of many tallents and Master of most.
Brilliant Chris, nice to see your confidence growing in front of camera, remember when you use to dodge the camera, your work is awesome
It shows what type of problem you can meet when carrying out repairs and alignment, so it's a learning experience to all us novice, with regards promotions of gambling what nonsense we live in a free society and people can make there own choices brilliant video lads😊😊😊😊
Great video guys, Chris always amazes me with he skill and aptitude - well done keep it up 👍
Hi Guys. Another method used to be overlay the new panel, clamped in position. Then cut the excess off and the existing bodywork in one cut. You then have have a perfectly matched joint to weld. 👍🏼
Hi Rob and Chris, amazes me how quickly the vehicle transformed in a couple of hrs. Going to be another brilliant buy for someone. Alex.
Great work as always by Chris on the repair. That side door definitely looks a little too big for the Berlingo 🤣
What a craftsman Chris is, work ethic is phenomenal, superb post guys, I’m sure people like myself were saying stick the sliding door on the roof, next thing Rob seen para gliding, new flying berlingo seen around Kent , I’ll get my coat I know when I’ve overstayed my welcome,
Chris is a magician with metal love watching him do his thing. If I needed my car fixed I would want him on it
Looks like this will be a nice profit maker when done. Great able to get a used part you needed for the door frame and likely with less work needed.
You boys will no doubt nail this as per usual.
Your work most probably inspires many others to tackle repairs to salvaged vehicles, and your step by step process of doing the work across the numerous videos of each project is very highly detailed.
Absolutely love your channel, looking to more big projects in 2024 👍👍👍👍
Absolutely nothing wrong with the way Chris cuts the panel, but the way I normally do it is to clamp in place as normal, then using the thinnest possible cutting disc, I slice through 'Both' panels. The gap left is just nice for welding, and works well if, like me, somebody is not quite as accurate as Chris is with the angle grinder. Many thanks for this great channel. Tony.
Great video. It is fantastic watching a craftsman like Chris at work. Have a great Christmas chaps!!
You pair never fail the fix is looking good .
It looks 10x better already! Good job!
Excellent tradesman ,my dad worked with metal an was always amazed what he could do. Chris is a top tradesman.
Great video Rob, Chris you are an absolute inspiration, your skills are incredible, amazing workmanship.
One thing about backing plates behind joins in addition to being a place for moisture to sit between layers of steel, you can create very strong areas, where you're not supposed to - a chassis leg for example, that could be the difference between the car folding up and the occupants walking away, or the car transmitting the impact and the occupants folding up and being badly hurt or dead. OK to have glued backing plates in the safety cage, as Chris says but not welded in general repairs all over the car. It's actually a hidden danger. That Chris is a bloody marvel!
great bit of bodywork and done to a very high standard well done chris
Chris is an endangered species . The Man that takes pride in his work knowing it has to be inch perfect , done to a standard he would accept . Only then is he happy to let it go and put it out for the world to view . Men that take this level of pride in their work are a very very rare breed . Mostly nowadays guys work to the hourly profit time is money . None or little pride quick one two ka ching next victim style work ethic .
great work chris amazing work and how good you really are
Great to see a couple of regular guys getting on and repairing vehicles to a great standard. Regards AJ
Fantastic work on the van it’s all coming together now
Absolutely fascinating ! The skill and knowledge Chris has is incredible and of course yourself Rob. It is truly a privilege to watch the two of you work your magic !
Love the skill and craftsmanship, Chris. Another van on its way back to life. Cheers, chaps.
Thanks for the video, really enjoy seeing it all come together, and more importantly the things that have to be corrected. 👍
Nice bit of work Chris .Hope you got the wood burner on as it’s the worst type of weather. Cold and damp. Well it is up here in Lincolnshire.
Think you need to talk portable power that make them jump pack
Rob and Chris.
You need a new jump pack, noco gb70 is what I use and a great piece of kit.
Your both fantastic lads, Chris is a master of his trade and watching him one to one with a camera is inspiring.
I think the competition on the beemer is 👌🏻
Chris is a walking gold mine of knowledge
I love watching you both do what you do 👌 👍
Chris, you are the master of metalwork
Awesome stuff guys
Good night Chris and Rob and your wife's merry Christmas and a happy new year and pleasr keep your videos coming along because you make me happy and smile
Another great video as always
Just fyi - I've read that pressing accelerator doesnt do a thing in cars with electronic throttle - it just cuts off. Some cars won't ever start with gas pedal pressed to the floor
I was under the impression that the metal used nowadays has a funky mix of additives that make welding more tricky.
