Rob, Chris another absolutely cracking job…as always. Saving the planet too. Keeping cars off the scrap heap, repairing, reusing & refurbishing parts where you can & making it look easy, which I’m sure it’s not 👏
Absolutely brilliant build that, it’s a credit to you both. I have to say, it really winds me up when main agents do that with blanks and trims, they could’ve at least told you the grill/trims doesn’t come with the chrome or blanking plates when you placed the order but, at the price you paid it should’ve been on there!
I started watching your vids a few months ago,I enjoy them thanks for posting.Recently a Deer jumped out into the road in front of us and sadly the deer died instantly.Our Honda Civic sustained front end damage.We inherited the car a 2002 from my wife's late father so sentimental value is high.Anyway I stripped the front end and rebuilt the old girl because you gave me the confidence thank you.The old Honda 38,000 gen miles has many good years ahead of her

Clearly you disapprove of the salvage industry and the repair of salvaged vehicles so I'm not sure why you are watching a salvage channel. The insurance companies that you say charge more are the same companies that sell the salvage for repair. Insurance companies in the UK work with various auctions and agents to market the salvage and sell it to both trade and the general public. They recover millions of pounds per week selling salvage for repair and if they stopped every ones premiums would increase. Like it or not this industry is here to stay with insurance companies continually looking to increase recycling and reuse of damaged cars and parts to improve there green credentials. I can give many reasons why It IS a good idea to buy a repaired insurance write off and they are based on fact and over 30 years in this industry. We work hard to earn a honest living giving people a quality product and value for money with complete clarity.
@@bertiedog7143 That’s the problem with the insurance industry not the salvage side of things. This car is perfectly straight again and probably fitted better than factory. It’s also saves the environment from the dirty insurance industry. 🐀
I love this program, cannot wait for the next one to arrive, down to earth with two honest straight-talking people(Rob&Chris) and they both put a load of hard work into what they do and always make sure it's done correctly, Love to buy one of the cars/vans they fix.
A cracking collection of videos on a great little car - as you guys said from the start this was going to be a really nice motor when done, great spec & lovely low miles. At £4500 someone will get a great bargain - I've always liked this shape Astra & have to say I'd be tempted myself on this if it was an auto. Well done TEAM SRUK!!!!!
the fact you lads take these cars fix them back up to a solid standard and sell them below market value to be as fair as you can is outstanding, props lads.
You make it all look so easy guys I have same car on 11 plate had it 8yrs, minimal problems so it’s been a good motor still got it as it’s like a van with seats down 👍
Rob, when you do your numbers you should also include the labour cost & hours for the 2 of you to illustrate how much it would cost someone to get a garage to do the jobs - great car and vid mate
Fair play to them giving you a refund on the headlights. Its just takes a warm gesture like that for you to start using them more often. Quality video chaps! 👍
That’s a cracking little Astra 👍, seats nowadays can look a little rough at low miles, I inspect Volvos and some of those seats look terrible ! I am sure the warm weather has helped get some creases out. Great stuff again 👍
Another good series of videos. I’ve had Vauxhalls all my life and they are a lovely vehicle to drive. I wasn’t surprised what Perrys charged, they are notoriously expensive.
Great video as always. I think 5k is more realistic. Feels like it’s been undervalue. But you guys clearly know your market. Thanks for the content and enjoying longer videos! Thanks
Fantastic series on the Astra, it's made into a lovely car. I can't believe you got it for £800! Bargain of the year! If I was looking to buy a new car, I'd have it, I wouldn't need a look round it either the videos are proof of top notch work. 👍
It’s a real shame you sell it so far under market value. You did the work and very well deserve the going rate. Great series and love the bubbly personality.
This was always going to be a top motor. The top spec Astra Estates are a great SH buy. The 1.6 petrol is not the fleet choice, so it usually has had a private owner, invariably low miles 👍 Although designed to be repaired, you and Rob make it look easy, but there is a lot of skill involved, one wrong move with the dozer and it is curtains! Some lucky person is going to get a very nice top end Astra Estate, in the right colour, at an incredible price. Well done guys 👍😎
The entry level spec 2015 Astra here in Australia was around $26,000 new. Private price guide these days is about $10,000. A very low mileage, super duper VXR sports thing can fetch $18k - $20k.
a bumper with its own wiring loom, i remember the days of my citroen AX as my first car, dont think it even had that many wire in the whole engine bay haha
My Movano has got the same problem as I only use the van 2 days a month for my business, same repair needed, Caliper, disc, pads and both hb cables. Your truck is well looked after just like my van.
Very cheap , very straight, very nice car, repaired properly with such attention to detail as it should be , well done guys , you deserve a bonus 👍👍😎💸💸💸💸
....... “but it is 6 speed including reverse” ..... classic, you couldn’t write this. As my kids would txt “PMSL” .... more great vids lads, thanks for putting structure into my week.
It's good to get bargains like that every now and then.....used to be quite common going back 20 years ago.....most salvage is to much money now.....credit to yourself and Chris. Good to hear him speak behind the camera as well....
Another brilliant video gents,as soon as the bumper went on it was perfect.as I own a Vauxhall Meriva B,the price of a grille was a bit expensive.my car has the toys and it's a nice car to drive.
I can't believe what some of the viewers comment on, (like the truck rolling or asking about the steering wheel...) not sure what the point is with so much scrutiny! 😄
£4.5k! You fellas are proper gentlemen. Took a nice profit without being too greedy and some lucky punter gets a mint low mileage motor. Will continue to watch and enjoy so longs as you both carry on with the great work.
It's a £5000 car and at that price it would be cheap! Especially when it has been through your hands. Another great video from 2 perfectionist's. Keep them coming 😃👍
There really is a crazy amount of work involved in rebuilding the front end. In the old days it was just a simple bolt on bumper with screw in number plate topped with a bolt or screw in one or two piece grill. Simples!
What a bargain from Copart and definitely someone will be getting a bargain.. Shame you turned right and not left to go over the King's Ferry 😂 😂. Great series on the Astra Rob and Chris looking forward to see what's next..
Wow Rob, that’s a superb car for 4.5k someone’s going to be a very lucky person to get that! Please try to find another Focus if you can, (half of Britain can’t be wrong?) and I’d love to see you lads give one your “special touch” keep well both of you 👍😊
Top work, as usual guys. That looks a lovely car now. What a bargain for some lucky person. Maybe work looking for some more Astras now Rob as you now know all about them. 👍👍👍
Looking forward to this one and finding out the purchase price! Was a total bargain and shows there is a good skill in sourcing and buying right to make the cash profit. As a wise man once said " You make money by saving money! "
Rob, Chris another absolutely cracking job…as always. Saving the planet too. Keeping cars off the scrap heap, repairing, reusing & refurbishing parts where you can & making it look easy, which I’m sure it’s not 👏
The live section was great, raw and entertaining!
Smashing job on the Astra. I notice that it’s alway poor Chris getting behind whilst Rob goes out in the van. Poor Chris he’s like Cinderella 😆
Absolutely brilliant build that, it’s a credit to you both. I have to say, it really winds me up when main agents do that with blanks and trims, they could’ve at least told you the grill/trims doesn’t come with the chrome or blanking plates when you placed the order but, at the price you paid it should’ve been on there!
Wow, lovely gesture from Silverlake 😍 great price and an absolute delight for a new owner 👍

The estate is looking beautiful this was an absolute bargain find at auction well done guys 🥳
Someone is going to get a bargain at £4500 I thought you were going to ask at least £5000 for it. Great video. 👍

You two always do a topnotch job on your motors and people can see they buying a safe car from you keep up the good work

Love my Astra estate.. 1.7CDTI with over 150,000miles still drives like new (and getting 69mpg on a Motorway)
Love this RUclips channel.. I'm not very good at mechanics but love having a go. You chaps need a TV series
Great results, as always. i can remember when you wouldn't see Chris's shadow in a video. Times have changed.
Quality video lads, cracking example of low mileage Astra, you would never know it was ever in an accident by looking at it now 👌🏻
Absolutely brilliant job! Chuffed to blazes for you and might I say… that is an ‘Astranomical’ deal guys 😎👍✅✅
Thank you again guys! Really enjoyed it. Love the scenery around your yard too!

Another cracking job lads, you’ve got this type of work off pat now. Well done
FINISHED ASTRA!!
Brilliant finish to a fantastic rebuild, again well done guys, good content, good channel.
You make it all look so easy guys I have same car on 11 plate had it 8yrs, minimal problems so it’s been a good motor still got it as it’s like a van with seats down 👍

Very good, very reasonable at £4,500 for sure. Well done. Worth the money given the quality of the workmanship. Thank you for sharing.
Once again you two have done a brilliant job, what a team, lovely seeing the countryside as well.😎
Fair play to them giving you a refund on the headlights. Its just takes a warm gesture like that for you to start using them more often. Quality video chaps! 👍
You have sourced an excellent spray painter there.
Brilliant video, looks pucker, mega reasonable price and a decent payday for you guys!
Hard work justly rewarded. Look forward to your videos every week.
As usual, another great job,and a bargain buy for someone, well done lads 👍.
Brilliant finish. Another lovely motor back on the road.Well done!

Fantastic figures and a sharp looking car, both of you should be over the moon on how that has turned out. Have a great weekend.
Great video as always. I think 5k is more realistic. Feels like it’s been undervalue. But you guys clearly know your market. Thanks for the content and enjoying longer videos! Thanks
Great video salvage rebuilds, great work Rob and chris, very nice example, bargain price, looks amazing 👍😀👌
This Astra looks fabulous after the repairs, it will make a great car for someone, as always well done guys, another excellent result❤️.
Great series on the Astra, now really looking forward to the surprise next week
Fantastic series on the Astra, it's made into a lovely car. I can't believe you got it for £800! Bargain of the year! If I was looking to buy a new car, I'd have it, I wouldn't need a look round it either the videos are proof of top notch work. 👍
£4500 a bargain for someone great stuff guys love the variety of vehicles covered
It’s a real shame you sell it so far under market value. You did the work and very well deserve the going rate. Great series and love the bubbly personality.
Another great vid. Are those headlights different or is it the light. One looks to have a silver trim on bottom
I’ve noticed that too. Ones the elite, and ones the basic active version.
You and Chris should do a Q&A soon? Every week get gets better and better you boys be on tv soon The new wheeler dealers 👍🏻
Another great video guys.
That's an absolute steal at £4.5K.
Looking forward to Monday's video now, I'm intrigued. Has Chris bought another HA Viva 😉

As per usual another bargain for somebody with the knowledge this car is spot on before you even see/drive it, one word INCREDIBLE
Great little earner there guy's. Well done. Turned out like you said Rob, very smart.
An absolute bargain is what the next owner is getting
Top work all round rob and Chris 👍👍👍
Looks absolutely fantastic the paint is excellent as always & an absolute steal at £4.500 someone is going to be seriously happy with the astra 👍
Hope you are both staying safe and well and hope you both have had great weekend
Nice one gentlemen. Another excellent video. Have a great weekend.
Love the notification from the channel!, great job by everyone as usual! 👍🏻
That’s amazing and super cheap selling price for that car. Well done Silverdale, that was kind as well as being an awesome place!
They were very expensive for a pair of rear lights for my car, and VAT on top, got a pair on Ebay much cheaper
Nice works lads, another top quality job done and dusted.

Great vid, fantastic turn around. Well done guys.
