    The wheel at 3:13, yes it’s the wrong way around. I noticed after I fitted it and swapped them. I just didn’t refilm it, so it’s all safe now :)

    We just bought a Fusion as a family run around, and I have to say, it's a real joy to drive.
    Very noisy and bumpy, but It's fun.

    3:13 I’d put that wheel on the offside as it is a directional tread pattern on the tyre

      You’re right. I noticed it after filming and swapped them over :) they’re facing the right way now.

    • @samuelspencer2086
      @samuelspencer2086 4 года назад

      Jubair Ahmed the directional pattern is designed to disperse water when roads are wet. If fitted the opposite way to the sidewall instructions it will drag water in with a higher chance of aqua planing

    Luke, only buy cars to do up and flip that you get that "feeling" for, otherwise you wont do them to your best. Dont cut corners, in this case the water pipe,but especially safety critical parts! This is just about ok for bottom end cars, but as you make your way up the car "ladder", this all becomes more important! Good start, look forward to where you go with flipping cars.

    Hello Luke,
    Great transformation. You should make a tidy little profit. 👍
    Sorry to hear you have laid off. I work in a factory that make hand sanitisers, soaps and disinfectants. Totally knackered with all the hours I am being forced to work.
    Stay safe everyone. 👍

    Do you happen to know where the astra was first first registered? i used to work for Greenhous Vauxhall at the PDI centre where i also had my zafira from and will always remember the Y*** MRF plates as my Zafira was Y208 MRF, we used to have the cars come in on transporters and register them ourselves which involved assigning reg plates too.

    Astra vs fusion well I’ve always liked the fusion in a way cuz my grandad had one pre facelift like urs it’s not a inspiring car but it’s a nostalgic as he has had it for 10 yrs it’s not with me anymore but will always miss it it was a rare one in red I’m I don’t like the face lifted version sm for the fiesta . I would have the fusion over Astra in my opinion good cheap car that will be practical and reliable and cheap to run u could have a 1.4 petrol or a 1.6 diesel petrol has 78 bhp and diesel 100 bhp and 1.4 diesel 68bhp and 1.6 petrol 100 bhp and 1.6 Diesel 89bhp

    The cheapest one in Serbia is around 1450 euros. In a similar state that you fixed your up to be. It is so stupid that we have 5-8 times smaller wages on average than you guys, and yet it is so hard to come by to a used car for a decent price.
