Love how you're so committed to staying on brand you even buy furniture with accident damage.
I could watch Chris doing bodywork on timelapse ALL day, it's borderline hypnotic!
Brings back memories. I had an Audi Quattro at the time. On the by-pass outside Brighton a seagull flew down over the road. Of course I hit it at around 60mph. The bird disintegrated and the front of the car was demolished!! It was repaired but this was in the 1970s and it cost a fortune to repair. (I should point out the Seagull was a bird and not a supporter of the team I have followed for over 60 years!!)
That Audi looks very nice. I have nearly always had estate cars or very big hatchbacks. What they do now to them is terrific, especially the Audi range. Chris up to his magic again!!!
Good luck guys. Cheers, Bob
Great office set up there. The handmade sign for desk is perfect. Making the office very homely, you will not wanna go home to ur partners lol. Will you be adding a bar and snooker table next? Next room proper man cave after a hard days work to relax in 🤣
Enjoy your success you deserve it, the honesty on the channel to is a breath of fresh air 👍🏻
What a lovely car. Cannot believe it was written off…..unbelievable really. Chris has done his usual outstanding job of repairing the wing. The completed car will be stunning.
Nice work on the office extension, and the SRUK sign.
Great video gents…as always great content.
Cheers.
I had the A6 black edition Avant Quattro 2.0tdi 2017 and it was the most comfortable car I ever driven and a real stunner in Daytona grey. Was too thirsty on local journeys though so had to go. Motorway journeys on the other hand were very economical. My only other issue was the screen being non tech pack looked too dated. The ultra you say refers to the engine economy.
Lovely office and kitchen for you both, and a great condition vehicle to work on, I guess that is looking like another excellent easy turnaround job, thanks to Chris. It was a shame about the badger, but on balance I guess it was better the badger than what could have happened. That wing has really come out a treat, again once can feel for the previous owner, but he got to walk away, and you get the car. Some philosophical thinking is required at times like this, but what is done, is finished. It cannot be changed. Only recovery can now take place, and that looks to be well on its way.
Hi guys, go for chrome trim and get it powder coated, will save money.
Ahh one of those 3hour 59minute journeys 😂
You don’t need to buy salvage, just send Rob to drive them home…. 😂 The office looks great, man of many talents is Chris 👍
A6 is looking like a keeper for Chris.He can't hide his excitement. I run exactly the same car and it is the best distance cruiser I have ever owned. If Chris keeps it get a Carplay upgrade. easily done and bluetooth connection enables Google Maps Spotify etc. Feels like a brand new car. The big MMI screen hints that you have the technology pack, if yes the adaptative cruise control is next level. Only thing to avoid is pressure washing near the sharks fin GPS aerial. Water ingress messes up the satnav bigtime.
It already has CarPlay bud I used it all the way home
Rob wouldn't you be going UP to Chester? 🤭
Isn't there anything Chris can't do?lol
Sweet Job on the Office
Now Rob, no wonder you take an over night bag. Chester is up from where you are not down! Great to see you guys back absence makes the heart grow founder...Lovely car, I would get the chrome trim and wrap it. The office looks great as does the sign....👍👍
Love hearing Chris talk about his dad. It is nice to hear him talk in high regard about models etc
You two deserve all the praise you receive, it's totally deserved.
Not just for this video, for all of them. 75% of car people are quick flip bodgers.
I would imagine this makes your work so much harder because you need to prove that not all are the same.
I would never hesitate to buy a car from you two. Two great guys, showing us behind the scenes.
It really is a pleasure to watch!
Hello Rob and Chris, lovely looking car, £640 for a bit of black trim!!!!!. ‘Wing mirrors and going down to Chester’, love it. Great job on the wing by Chris. Office and kitchen are looking good as well. Love the SRUK on the desk. What a bargain with the chairs. Thank you for taking the time to upload another video.
Chris knocked out that wing n made it look so easy, like the office space cant wait to see it finished
Put the sockets for desk below the counter and use a desk top grommet , that way all the cables and power packs can be fed through to the desk top and it will be neat and tidy .
Hit a badger that ran out on an unlit section of the M11 a few years back. It did so much damage the insurance company wrote my Car off. Front bumper and fog light smashed, radiator split, oil cooler split and inter cooler ripped off. It was warning lights galore and the noise it made scared the life out of me. Rob had a lucky escape those Badgers are built like tanks.
Like Wombats
Its a wing mirror Rob, always was always will be!! like a vacuum cleaner is a Hoover!! some things never change..
🙏
THAT OFFICE!! Absolutely brilliant.. Well done Chris, fantastic craftsmanship.
Looks like a nice car, I think you did well. That strip price is spiteful so that may be one of the reasons for writing it off? Chris was up for the challenge and without a doubt he has passed with flying colours! I hope he can fix the pillar without touching the windscreen, I have faith in him. I would also like to say well done for making the 'SRUK' sign it looks great and so does the desk with those handles. I think the car will be finished in no time, the only hold up might be paint but that cannot be helped. Thanks Rob and Chris I really enjoyed this video.👍👍
I feel sick seeing my baby. It’s in good hands and you are the boys to get it back immaculate. 😢😢
Cheers Carl and lovely to meet you 👌👍
Ultra is to do with the engine not the spec level. The car is an A6 s line black edition. The engine is a 2.0 TDI Ultra. For the fact it’s meant to be the best combination of efficiency and performance
What a stunning car! And yet again, another awesome example of Chris‘s expertise! Even though you guys have cut it, down to 2 videos per week, the content is right up there, every time I get to the end one, I look forward to that one, this is by far in a way, my favourite RUclips channel and anyways prefer watching this to TV, The office and the kitchen look amazing, you guys are not going to want to go home at this rate.
Keep up the good work guys. You’re both amazing, even if Rob keeps calling them wing mirrors, part of the time I think he does it for the comedy value! Priceless
I wish you guys would go back to Monday, Wednesday and Friday videos.
‘All the way down to Chester’ 😂 most southerns would get a nose bleed and faint going that far north 👍
again, Chris smashed it out of the park with the local repairs on the body work - the office looks amazing !!
500 quid extra for black gloss paint on a trim??? Holy crap, that is spiteful. Amazing job on that wing Chris, someone is going to be a really, really happy owner of that car. Wish it could be me!! That office is fantastic, yet another stunning job from Chris.
Cracking motor, i had one for a Taxi for 3yrs on a 10 plate, drove great but just a bit expensive to service & parts! love the new office & canteen, looks fab!😀, Is there anything that Chris carnt turn his hand too? Your so lucky to have him as your work partner!👍.
The sign SRUK looks brilliant
Looks amazing but can't shake the idea the S is upside down for some reason.
Rob and Chris, I found you guys when lifting a range rover body off the chassis years ago. I really starting following a few years ago when I found myself working in Essex, your videos filled my commute on the bus into the hospital in Ipswich. I've loved seeing you grow on RUclips and developing what you do. You guys are my go to number one favourites for entertaining and informative viewing. Thank you both 👍
I have a 17 plate one with 30k miles on it, I’ve had it 5 years from new , and I tell you what I can’t fault it , it’s mint. I’m now waiting for the new A6 ETron available soon. Parts are expensive but it is what it is .
Those handles from behind the SRUK desk are from Eire, I know that from as far away as NZ.
That room for guests should have a TV monitor on an endless loop with just some of the success stories from over the last four years.
From time to time, one needs to blow one's trumpet in front the right people you are trying to impress.
Collaborations with Copart and Liams glazing skills to name a few.👍👌👨👩👧👦💚
"estimate for your 3 dents in your audi sir, that's a write off then" the world is going mad....
that sign is perfection, it fits in so well
keep up the good work chaps
Fantastic looking sign, radiator and kitchen, I wouldn't be at all surprised if pictures appear where Chris has cooked a gourmet meal and baked a delicious celebratory cake to finish.
New office and kitchen looking really smart .SRUK sign looks superb.Onto the Audio A6 nice looking car .👍🏻
The new office looks amazing. Keep going from strength to strength.
What a lovely motor
The genius strikes again with his hammer and dolly
Bad run of luck for you Rob, first the BMW and the garden wall, now the Audi and the badger. Chris is going to stop letting you pick up the cars soon 🤣
Nice car gents and fantastic work by Chris on that wing. Fair play to you Rob for driving it back after a couple of hours kip. I’ll be keeping an eye out for when this one comes up. Great vid as usual.
Beautiful. Big A6 fan and people absolutely rave about them. Will be interested to see how much you put this up for at the end. Doesn’t look a lot but can see why the insurance wrote it off!
Very nice project, and a nice car! I'm sure that will turn out very well.
Your office and kitchen area are coming along extremely well. Such a nice space for you to maintain your business information, and work. Your kitchen is also a nice touch, which you guys will very much appreciate once you start using it.
Congratulations on you both in doing so well!
Used to have a 3.0 Bi-Turbo Audi A6 Black Edition 2. One of only 3 in the country on the day I picked it up, beautiful car but it got written off when an oncoming bus went through standing water at 40mph and created a wave which went over top of my car and forced water into the air intakes causing it to HydraLock 🙈🙈 Gutted isn’t the word but if I was this fella and it’s only cosmetic damage I’d be fixing it myself, new wing and mirror sorted!! 👍🏻😎
What a nice car ,I appreciate you showing bits that you put on Instagram as you say not all of us do Instagram so thanks for that .
Excellent work on the front wing ,that's saved a good bit of cash .all the best Martin
I love seeing a new video from these guys, great channel ,brilliant content and so much positive vibes. I really hope you all continue to grow and excel in the future.
Chris has made a cracking job of the desk and repairing the car. Love the sign. Really feel for you Rob Chester and Stafford are tainted Every time you go there something happens. At least your alright.
Up to Chester! Not down 🤷🏼♂️😂
Rob, you need to give Chris more of a challenge, there is nothing he can’t put right, also the new office is looking awesome
Gorgeous A6 s line love the A4 as well but that office is awesome 👌👌👌
Working a lot recently but getting time to catch up on videos nice to see the office an kitchen coming along
After remembering your night bag this time still didn't book anywhere to stay and ended up having another accident, maybe next time book before you leave or let Chris collect them great video chris has some skills , the office looks great 👍
Smart car , I never knew Chester was south of you😮 office looks amazing❤
The office looks great! Nice work on the desk, Chris.
Lovely Audi you picked up there, I know it will be another great result for you both. As for the building project there is no stopping you Chris, you are one very talented man. Looks fantastic.
The office is better than some auto parts outlets great work Chris. Rob do you ever sleep ? RIP mr badger, I am so glad you kept your head and did not swerve or take evasive action this could have been a lot worse maybe even getting you involved in a more serious accident thank goodness you are an experienced driver Rob. Tom
Long way from its original home. Supplied by Audi Edinburgh on 1st March 2105. Nice spec 2.0 diesel highest spec Ultra model black edition and being an estate more sought after. You guys have got a beauty here.
There is no end to Chris s skills, excellent panel beating very impressive work
Office looks super. Love the desk and walls. Well done Chris....!!!
Nice motor and Chris had done a marvellous job of the office
We'd love a SRUK open day! 🤩
This a lovely car ,will fly out the door once it's done,brilliant viewing,office and canteen look fantastic,,won't be long before you guys are on the tv ,all the best guys ,onwards and upwards SRUk
Rob you are becoming a bit of a local in Chester , nice car . The new office is looking good Chris is making a great job .
Shame you couldn’t bring the badger back - I’m sure Chris could have brought it back to life
Love what you have done with the pallet work...
Please say your going to put an old car radiator in place that would be an amazing radiator with style..
Wouldn't surprise me if it were themed as such, good call.
Great office, like a studio flat... rad is awesome... he broke and showed us.. 😂
When are you going to learn Rob!! Lol. If you intend on sleeping over , then do it!!! Lovely car though mate. Nice project. 😎👍
On this generation AUDIs "ULTRA" represents the Economy models so front wheel drive instead of Quattro and ususally the smaller 2.0 TDI (like your one) instead of 3.0 TDI . The "Black Edition " is top trim level and includes a lot of balcked out stuff like exterior window surrounds, front grill, etc.. It also adds "BOSE" sound system, tinted rear windows, full leather, larger wheels and a decent MMI system. Also your A6 Avant is ULEZ compliant being a EURO 6 Diesel so the residuals are strong. NIce bit of stock 👌 Well done lads 👍
Evening guys. That office is just gorgeous 😊 It’ll really impress customer who collect cars from S.R.U.K 👍🏻
You had a lucky escape there, badgers are a solid lump of an animal. The A6 is gorgeous but well out of my price bracket, especially with the price of that trim alone! I'm an admin and I'd be well chuffed to work in that office but I'm not moving from the North East for no-one 🤣
Nothing not to dislike about your videos.
, we cannot get enough of them....Chris work was exceptional yet again. Looking forward to Saturdays video
Lo Lads, nice motor. 60 to 65 on outside lane of a motorway Hmm! That's a cruiser sleeping bag the next time Rob. Wondering what insurance group that would be. I know 1 thing it's out of my range. Shame but there ye go. Lookn forward to the numbers. Later
Up to Chester, then back Down to Kent, UP north, DOWN south!! still loving the channel and the rebuilds, keep it coming!
Phil
Been saying it for years now Chris is a magician, I know Audi are a premium brand guys but honestly it’s the prices for parts that put me off ever getting one , great stuff guys, ps us guys of a certain age have hit a badger 🦡 at some stage upsetting yes but it’s not done deliberately, your office is better than my living room, yep not a lounge a living room 😇
Fantastic job of the office and great work so far on the Audi, I was sort of expecting Chris to fix that window trim.
Wicked motor Rob & your gaff is lookin mint,
Top work Chris 👍👍
Hello Rob & Chris; Well, that was a journey and a half, fancy you sleeping in the car!! Must have comphy seats then? Once again Chris shows his skills on the bodywork - amazing! Another surprise being the new office (great desk illuminated sign!!) and kitchen - how good for you both, and you deserve it too! Best wishes from Lincolnshire.
Lovely car rob and Chris gotta love a Audi Avant in white 😍
Well done Chris amazing job on that office desk.
Son in law has just bought an A6 avante not as new as that of course but a lovely motor still, very nice.
That's one quiet car. Chris did lovely work on the wing. I think the price for the black trim piece is a bit steep for what it is. I hope you can find one for a much more reasonable price. The office is looking very smart. I love the light up sign. Top work. 👍
Car is in far better shape than the badger, but the prices on spares are shocking. The work Chris and Dan have done on the office is fantastic, I'm now going out looking for pallets and old kichen units!
Office looks very nice as does the A6 estate. 👍👍
Hard to believe they wrote that off for so little damage
Well done Rob. loving the Audi’s can’t wait for the Q5 update. Awesome job on the desk Chris,msn of very many talents👍
i've watched you from the beginning and you have came on so much. You guys are amazing and should be proud
I have an a6 ultra estate in the same colour. This model is the 190 bhp model £30 Road tax. If the timing belt and water pump has not been done Do it. A good selling point. And straight forward to do. I don’t understand why the car has been written off for that damage
I have never wanted a black edition Audi always preferred the S line. Just been outside to check the roof trim on my car. Chrome! How can Audi charge £500 for a bit of black paint
De chrome tape is your friend on that piece of trim! Great video and can't wait to see the final result. The office and kitchen are simply awesome!
hi if you like the that a6 ,,you need to get a a a6 allroad 3.0 ,,i have had two and 6 audis ,,sadly had to sell them to buy a motorhome ,,but best cars ever love to see you doing one of them ,,,
Great episode gents ! made a few lightbox's over the years, loving yours.
Desk looks banging Chris !
Hi Chris and Rob, I can’t believe the insurance company wrote that car off. What a beautiful car.
Love a road trip video 🙂 definitely minor fixes really but not surprised at the price of parts for this, typical Audi. There's got to be a sub-series called Challenge Chris where you give him something horrendously damaged and not car related and watch him try to repair it 👍🏻 new office is coming on nicely 👌🏻
Chris is a genius that car is beautiful and the office is coming on love the sign 👍
Can’t believe the insurance wrote it off for that damage. Yeah the parts are expensive, but you’d have thought there was enough value in the car for it to be done.
Also looking forward to that black Q5 video 😉
That’s a crazy price for a bit of black trim. Very nice office ❤
I tangled with a badger whilst cycling and had the same amount of blood pouring out my knee😂.anyway nice looking motor and the office is looking 👌👍
Badgers can do a lot of damage. I hit one some year's ago and it nearly wrotte the front end off. Nice job Chris on the SRUK desk.
Wow, beautiful car and looks like a straightforward repair, will be as good as new once you pair have finished with it! And the new office (complete with illuminated sign) is coming along so well, almost finished. Shame you didn't manage to spend some time in Chester, lovely city & lovely people!
Magic car! Really great to repair. Looking forward to the numbers. The new office and that sign, fantastic!
