Rob, Chris, absolutely love this. Proper recycling by giving this car another lease of life £££s to be made. A lot of people would have just binned this car
Hopefully the content on the channel makes doing this worthwhile. Otherwise for anyone else these cars are worth very little and this is a lot of work.
I have to take my hat off to you two guys. You earn every penny you make. Look forward to all your videos and instagram posts. Cheers guys ! All the best.
I’ve never known to blokes with such such a perfect blend of skills as you two. Life always has its ups and downs, but I hope you two stay happy working together for many many years to come! Best regards from “an old Thanet boy” 😊
I love watching these guys - the common sense , the explanations, the artisan skills of Chris, amazing really - the generation coming through have none of this
Every cloud as a silver lining so they say and this cloud was pure gold. Love the longer videos and this Ford was well worth bringing back to life. Great content. Looking forward as usual to the next one.
UNBELIEVABLE. You brought this one back from the dead. It was beyond the ICU and ready for the undertaker. But with some serious surgery and careful attention to detail, it's going again. The best video for a long time. Well done Chris and Rob.
Once again. Amazing. From knowing your electrics. Being able to dismantle to reassemble, soldering and everything else you guys did. Your skill is another level. BUT. I feel how humble and genuine you and Chris are, when the video ends with Chris sweeping up.... Another great lesson Thank you... Much love and respect....
What a transformation guys. Its brilliant. You would never know it's the same car. I love the way you 2 work together, not much said but you both know what to do. Love these type of videos. Take care both of you.
Glad to see you guys saved this car, this is a car I would’ve wanted to save. So many parts around and it wasn’t rusted out which makes it worth saving. Top job fellas
I just got my first Ford in years.. The 2004 Focus Zetea 1.6 Automatic is surprisingly very quick,, my Car was only 550 Euros, with 113.000 miles on the clock,, just changed the Oil & Waterpump & Belt, now iv put on another 6 thousend miles and shes going like new,, I have to say the designe of the Mk1 is a future classic . great sound from the Engine with the old school Escort heritage ..
Good on you guys, this is awesome. So glad to see you save this unloved little car. We're way too quick to just throw things away these days, but with a bit of patience and effort you can fix things and make them close to new again. Amazing work.
You be done a cracking job with this one. Never would have thought it to see it at the start. That'll be a great family car for the new owner. Well done guys!
I’m flabbergasted how well you’ve done with that Focus! It’s come out so well and the amount of effort and attention to detail was incredible. Bloody well done lads, great to watch you at work on this or whatever else you take on for that matter.
Rob and Chris, what a metamorphose got this Ford again. What a beauty. It gives me a great feeling you guys put so much efforts in this car to get it on the road again. Thank you so much for this video again. A true example of 2 honest nice guys.
The caterpillar is a Cinnabar caterpillar, that turns into a striking black and red moth. Wow Chris really got stuck in and seem to relish the challenge.
Definitely made the right move repairing the car with the mileage.Thats gonna merit making the car look like new and I reckon theres a nicemarkup coming once you sell it.
Yes you definitely saved this one! Love your attention to detail - nothing left to chance. That's an amazing transformation you guys have achieved. With the work you have put in and the low mileage the car has done it should have years of life left in it now.
Well done looks sweet. I owned a similar focus was a great daily saved it from going to the scrap yard when everyone said get rid I had the gearbox changed and new clutch drove great
This is one of the best projects and video you have done. Cant wait for Part 3. Reminded me of doing a full interior swap i did on a Vauxhall Chevette back in the 80s when I'd just started driving.
Astounded! Amazed! Incredulous! I'm out of superlatives for what you've done with that shed of a car! The only bit that seemed worth saving on that 19k miler was the engine, and yet you've saved the whole car. Incredible! All power to yer elbow grease, fellas!
Truly astonished by your shear patience and tenacity in taking on this project! Attention to detail bar non!! You both deserve a medal for your hard work! I’m gob smacked!!!!!
WOW Rob n Chris do it again most people would have scraped it but now someone will have a fantastic car for years. This is why I love your channel, you two are magician's you deserve all your success 😃
it's a bodge job! i wouldn't let it leave the body shop in that condition. If rob was working for my boss he would have got the sack trying to say that's done.
BRAVO! This it exactly what it is all about! Saving a car from the scrapyard with a lot of elbow grease and a big heart! Be it a Rolls Royce or "just" a Ford Focus. Hugely enjoyed this "saved from the grave" or "bring back to live" videos! Give us more of these, thank you!
Rob, Chris, absolutely love this. Proper recycling by giving this car another lease of life £££s to be made. A lot of people would have just binned this car
I could never have done the work like this, but wish I could have saved my old car. Impressive what can be achieved.
Hopefully the content on the channel makes doing this worthwhile. Otherwise for anyone else these cars are worth very little and this is a lot of work.
Professional work by people who love cars!! Bravo!!
I have to take my hat off to you two guys. You earn every penny you make. Look forward to all your videos and instagram posts. Cheers guys ! All the best.
It's only cleaning swop parts over and some wireing
This has been one of my favourite rebuilds, it's incredible the transformation from the wreck it was, to a lovely car. Great stuff
Very impressive turn around guys,every car deserves a second chance and this is proof.👍🏻
I’ve never known to blokes with such such a perfect blend of skills as you two. Life always has its ups and downs, but I hope you two stay happy working together for many many years to come! Best regards from “an old Thanet boy” 😊
@@crabbybastard8762 absolutely-they’re the perfect duo 👍
I love watching these guys - the common sense , the explanations, the artisan skills of Chris, amazing really - the generation coming through have none of this
you need to meet my dad and I!
You've done more complex rebuilds, but none have been as satisfying as this one , brilliant work guys
Thanks for working so hard and getting more videos out Rob and chris.We know a huge amount of hours goes into editing so thanks.
Every cloud as a silver lining so they say and this cloud was pure gold. Love the longer videos and this Ford was well worth bringing back to life. Great content. Looking forward as usual to the next one.
UNBELIEVABLE. You brought this one back from the dead. It was beyond the ICU and ready for the undertaker. But with some serious surgery and careful attention to detail, it's going again. The best video for a long time. Well done Chris and Rob.
I’m not gonna lie, when I first saw the car I thought no way, that’s gonna be a scrapper! I can’t believe you did it!
Same here.
Love this build, what a state to start in.
Once again. Amazing.
From knowing your electrics. Being able to dismantle to reassemble, soldering and everything else you guys did. Your skill is another level. BUT. I feel how humble and genuine you and Chris are, when the video ends with Chris sweeping up.... Another great lesson
Thank you... Much love and respect....
Dr Frankenstein's Focus. It's alive it's alive!!!!
Brilliant stuff. Best car yet. Definitely worth doing chaps. Keep up the good work.
Salvage rebuilds. " the defibrillator of the car world ". Brings 'em back from the dead.
I love seeing a car that most people wouldn't think twice about saved and you would never no it sat unloved for years
You have done cracking job considering the state it was in well done both of you 👍🏻👏👏
Chris should get a small street sweeper to tidy up the yard, he's got everything else.
Amazing! Fantastic to see the transformation from start to (nearly) finish. Great work gents.
What a transformation guys. Its brilliant. You would never know it's the same car. I love the way you 2 work together, not much said but you both know what to do. Love these type of videos. Take care both of you.

Top job fellas
You've made such a transformation to the focus well done guy's.
Does Chris ever stop for a cuppa. He was still working cleaning the yard.
All chris has in his mind all day coffe coffe
Video before last Chris had TWO cups mate.....tea break over lol
Fantastic little car now mate !
Chris is like the Duracell bunny - he never stops. What a geezer.
I really love this shape of focus. Even ordinary models like this one are brilliant to drive.

@@crabbybastard8762 I agree with you on that but up till now I have had no problems lol

Another great video guys. So satisfying to see a forgotten car brought back to life. Well done you two.
The most interesting project in ages, cant believe you tackled it but an amazing result well done rob n Chris.
I've loved watching this cars rebirth, well done the two of you
Smashing job chaps! Gotta admit that looked like a hell of a challenge starting out!
Guys this is the most satisfying series of vids so far. You definately need to do more like this, the before and afters are epic with this one!
Rob and Chris enjoyed your video on this Ford Focus. What a transformation absolutely brilliant. Well done.
You be done a cracking job with this one. Never would have thought it to see it at the start. That'll be a great family car for the new owner. Well done guys!
You 2 deserve every penny of profit from this one Rob. Really great job and cracking long vid. Cheers.
This has been one of my favourite projects of yours, what a brilliant job.
Agreed! 👍
Yeah for some strange reason I'm riveted to this build!
Yep me to
I have loved seeing a car properly cared for .you guys are special in this field of profession. good onya..
Some would say "it's just a ford focus"
But really glad you saved that car guys, awesome work as ever 👌👌👌
I’m flabbergasted how well you’ve done with that Focus! It’s come out so well and the amount of effort and attention to detail was incredible. Bloody well done lads, great to watch you at work on this or whatever else you take on for that matter.
Cam belt for sure needs doing. Looks so good though! Will make a great motor
Brilliant, what a turn round, well-done lads.
Rob and Chris, what a metamorphose got this Ford again. What a beauty. It gives me a great feeling you guys put so much efforts in this car to get it on the road again. Thank you so much for this video again. A true example of 2 honest nice guys.
Now this is real recycling. Saved it from the crusher 🤙🏻
The caterpillar is a Cinnabar caterpillar, that turns into a striking black and red moth. Wow Chris really got stuck in and seem to relish the challenge.
I thought Rob was about to go on a wildlife rant like Bill from Curious Cars.
good spot! nature lovers fast forward to 21:59. And what a great project. Chapeau, chaps!
I was curious to know what the caterpillar was you saved me the trouble of looking it up, thanks.👍
Good metaphor for the car, it's changed from a caterpillar to something more beautiful.
U 2 can turn ur skill to anything
AMAZING JOB LADS!!!!!!!
Absolutely great job! Have watched for a while but this is the one that got me subscribed. Would be great to see more like this.
Brave! And well done at that! She's looking stunning, can't wait for the finished article!
I am a happy driver of Focus, greetings from Poland!
I really didn't want that video to end. What an awesome job guys! 👏🏼
That will be a nice tidy car for someone. Get them mobile in a safe comfortable car. Ultimate recycling.
Definitely made the right move repairing the car with the mileage.Thats gonna merit making the car look like new and I reckon theres a nicemarkup coming once you sell it.
Wow! Wow! Wow!!! What an amazing job you guys did. Well done. Can't wait for the next Rescue!!
Amazing I think that this is one of this most interesting projects that you guys have done. Can’t wait to see it completed.
Amazing turn around on this one Rob & Chris, this car has been saved and what a great job you have done. Brilliant!
Good job again guy's well worth doing. No brainer 19, 000 miles 🙈 well done Rob and Chris 💪💪💪
Knocked it out the park on this one. Really satisfying to see something rescued from the brink like this
Yes you definitely saved this one! Love your attention to detail - nothing left to chance. That's an amazing transformation you guys have achieved. With the work you have put in and the low mileage the car has done it should have years of life left in it now.
I love when a car is put back on the road and not just parted out and left to decay! Fantastic job, as always!
Really enjoyed this video. Everyday is a school day watching you two guys at work! :)
That turned out well then! Amazing - well done!! Enjoyed a bit of waffling on near the end of the video too 🤣
Great job boys enjoy that one😉1st time I have posted been watching a few year now. Well done
Well done looks sweet. I owned a similar focus was a great daily saved it from going to the scrap yard when everyone said get rid I had the gearbox changed and new clutch drove great
with that attention to detail you guys deserve a profit out of that! A great watch, admirable honesty and every credit to you both.
Well impressed! You’ve upgraded it with a nicer zetec interior, steering wheel and boot spoiler. Big improvement on the Style base spec.
Style isn't base I don't think 👍
Studio is base
@@sammytheseal2307 ahh ok. Either way, it’s a lesser spec than the zetec.
A very thorough job even on something like this really shows how professional yourself and Chris are . A pretty long video but fantastic viewing 👍
We've been waiting for this one.
Absolutely amazing how you have turned this car around. Your attention to detail is just brilliant. Congratulations guys and thanks for the vid.
Well done on saving this focus. I like the transparency and honesty of your camera work/commentary.
I'm loving the content and saving more cars from the facing the scrap yard ❤️
22:00 looks like a Cinnabar Moth caterpillar, good to have about as they will eat up ragwort for you 👍
You guys have a lot of patience doing all that detailed swapping of items
Nice save! Literally brought back from the edge. Done a couple of interior replacements, so I know it's BETTER than factory!
Love it 😀
This is one of the best projects and video you have done. Cant wait for Part 3. Reminded me of doing a full interior swap i did on a Vauxhall Chevette back in the 80s when I'd just started driving.
Piece of cake for the experts going to be a beautiful little runner
Hi guys to say how bad it was you've done a great job cleaning it up 👍
I would love to do this for a living , wish I had a mate like Chris
Astounded! Amazed! Incredulous! I'm out of superlatives for what you've done with that shed of a car! The only bit that seemed worth saving on that 19k miler was the engine, and yet you've saved the whole car. Incredible! All power to yer elbow grease, fellas!
That Focus is looking tidy now, well done, someone is going to love that car now.
The dashboard - no cutting corners with Chris 😀.
Wow that’s come up a treat ,what a lovely car now and with that mileage ,going to be a cracking car for someone ,you guys defo saved it 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Incredible, can’t believe it was dumped after only 19,000 miles!
I could watch them all day , there aren’t enough 3 times a week for me to view,would like more.
Couldn't agree more so mad
Possibly it was stolen and dumped?
@@christopherdean1326 If you watched the video you wouldn't have said that, they gave a full explanation...
@@christopherdean1326 We'll probably never know why someone sawed the boot in half and used it as a toilet for 8 years
Truly astonished by your shear patience and tenacity in taking on this project! Attention to detail bar non!! You both deserve a medal for your hard work! I’m gob smacked!!!!!
WOW Rob n Chris do it again most people would have scraped it but now someone will have a fantastic car for years. This is why I love your channel, you two are magician's you deserve all your success 😃
You all did a great job on this car. 👏
You proved the doubters wrong there .👍
What a turnaround.
Wicked job amazing turn around, truly shows how man hours can turn a car around like this :)
Amazing turnaround. Top job Rob and Chris.
Lovely work from the boys at Dagenham motors !! Nice to see that trusty old Ford being reborn well done
A silk purse made out of a sows ear' A great job, Well done guys... :-)
Wasn’t surprised when you got the interior so cheap the Focus’ are more common than Pigeons
That’s very true!
Yes but there’s a couple of swans in there one being future classic RS, now discontinued.
That was the most unbelievable transformation. It’s like new.
it's a bodge job! i wouldn't let it leave the body shop in that condition. If rob was working for my boss he would have got the sack trying to say that's done.
Brilliant, I smiled when you opened the door and said "look at this guys" shaking my head in disbelief, Again Brilliant.
Brilliant work again! Looked beyond repair. Can't believe it looks this good!
You've definitely transformed it! I would go as far as saying it looks like a 3 year old car now 😁👍
"Oh caterpillar"....love it 🤣
Chris is a a legend, well done the both of you. Focus one of my fav cars.
love this kind of projects taking sumtyn from that to what it is now there is just that bit of satisfaction watching it come together good job guys
You guys done a great job rescuing this beautiful car...good job. !!
Just shows how good you and Chris are, that will be a bargain for someone
30 minutes! 😮 let’s get involved! 👍
Gutted Chris wasn't wearing his daisy dukes when he was washing the car 😢
BRAVO! This it exactly what it is all about! Saving a car from the scrapyard with a lot of elbow grease and a big heart! Be it a Rolls Royce or "just" a Ford Focus. Hugely enjoyed this "saved from the grave" or "bring back to live" videos! Give us more of these, thank you!
