    In a world full of body shops either owned or contracted by insurance companies I bet there is only businesses like yourselves that would go to the extreme of filling grinding marks on the unseen inner wings. Brilliant work guys, genuine tradesmen that we are sadly lacking.

    So the A1 is ready for the A1 in A1 condition.
    A1 to say what a great job guys and the finish is A1 in a million.
    Well done guys, it is indeed a very nice little earner.
    Cheers, Bob

    Sounded like an audatex parts/price list you were reading out there Rob 🤣 just shows the public how much the repair would've been in a bodyshop or insurance repair using mainly new parts! Tbf I don't think you'd of been greedy asking another £2k on top. Quality repair as usual guys 👍

  • @gonecywers
    @gonecywers Год назад +4

    Excellent work and project, guys. The price you are asking for this car is a steal for the person buying it. I would say you are leaving a little too much money on the table, but you guys have your reasons, and they will be nothing but a Blessing for the next person.

  • @paulmckinder3082
    @paulmckinder3082 Год назад +4

    It amazes me how many parts they shove in bumpers nowadays I can remember when all that was on a bumper was the number plate oh well time change. Great video as always gents

  • @scottyf7512
    @scottyf7512 Год назад +3

    I agree with a previous comment- you have to be very careful buying repaired Cat S motors. You really need to know how the repair has been done and to see it in videos means the world for anybody looking to buy. Nice clean work guys as always- well earn't profit!

    Great job guys, but I’m a bit upset that all the time I was working for Medway TPS you didn’t order a thing! Now I don’t work there your ordering all the time!! Keep up the good work.

  • @leonb2637
    @leonb2637 Год назад +1

    Doing the work in the 'hidden' spots is important to limit a later failure of an MOT or if a possible future serious crash, this area isn't rusting out in a few years and weakening the structure. Even little things like paint overspray can hurt a future value. As to the price, it will always have a reduced value due to being a 'rebuilt wreck' or as you call it, a Cat S.
    You (in particular Chris) put a lot of detailed work into it. You have a sense of doing it right for your own peace of mind, keeping up a reputation that took years to get but can be ruined in an instant, especially as putting this on YT.

  • @mcplindgren
    @mcplindgren Год назад

    Your level of detail never ceases to amaze me, especially with the chassis leg, which you wouldnt necessarily see but it really does look factory 👍🏻 surprised about the parts prices but then again, it's an Audi 😅 nice little earner that's for sure 🙂

  • @merv690
    @merv690 Год назад

    I've said it before but the attention to detail is incredible, congratulations when you started reading out the numbers I was beginning the think you weren't going to make much money out of it, but so glad you did and you are spot on Rob plenty left for the next man. congratulations

    @stephenricketts7764 Год назад +1

    Cracking little car that and no miles really, just run in. It is always a good idea to see a paint job in daylight as I am sure you know strip lights can be deceiving when it comes to colour tone. I think having the wings and bonnet done off the car paid off this time though a bit more care was needed reassembling. A decent profit as well Gents so good all round. Thanks Rob and Chris again for an excellent video. 👍👍

    A little info....your clock on that wall, that you say do not work, make sure the battery are sitting strong and thight, we have same clock, last change to summer time, we banged it a little to hard on the wall when putting it back on the wall, so the battery didn't connect 100%. maybe it's the same issue you have !!

    5.3k profit and you both earned every single penny of it. You didn't half put some graft into that one the both of you, and still got cracking on the Transit and running about buying new projects and selling other ones. Someone is gonna get a cracking new German whip for the price of a Ford Focus. Happy days 😁

    It's amazing how much spare bits are when the cars are relatively new , a few years ago I did a citroen nemo, priced the bits , over 3500 , guy sat on it for 3 years as it was a spare van , I kept looking as you do for 2nd hand bits , managed to find almost everything for 400 quid , so it was put back on the road , been the best van he's had he says , great little car for someone at a bargain price

    A lot of expensive trim bits for the entry Audi but looks good at the price . Far better for the environment to have properly repaired cars put back on the road than scrapped and new metal taking their place … always interesting to see what it takes to get them back rolling 👍
