    Working at our fully equipped workshop in Kent we carry out tasks including Panel beating, Body work, Mig Welding, Sheet metal Spot Welding, Fabrication, Chassis Repairs, Sand Blasting, Engine and Mechanical repairs, Reconditioning, Restoration and Structural repairs on the Celette Jig Dozer frame machine.
    We do hope you enjoy this video and Check out our other videos on all kinds of vehicles including Barn finds, Quick flips, First wash, Repairs, Salvage, Restorations, Will it run, Accident damaged, Cat S, Cat N, Cat X Copart Auction bargains, Non Runner and anything else that arrives at the #Salvagerebuildsuk workshop. #RobandChris
    We do receive quite a few questions regarding tools and equipment that we use for various jobs. Unfortunately there is too many to list but some of the brands we use include Snap-on, Blue-point, Makita, Sealey, Clark, Esab and Sykes-Pickavant.
    If you are interested in a specific tool, please put your question in the comments section of the relevant video.
    Thankyou all for watching and see you very soon in the next one!

    Went to look at a 5 year old honda civic from one of the UKs biggest dealers, they said it was awaiting preperation.....they brung it round and it looked far worse than this car
    . Looked like a homeless drunk had stayed in it the whole time. Lots of missing trim, dents, rust disgusting inside...not to worry said the salesman , we will valet it and it will look great. I explained someone spent 5 years hating this car in everyway they could think of, no way this was a good car.

    Maybe in future video's , you should cover the Reg/Number guy's for personal reason's in regard's to future buyer's identity for buying a salvage car in these hard times being .known to all .This comment in no way detract''s from the sterling work you both do to get a car 100% before you'se i pass it on .Just a small crittisim but , no way criticses the sterling work you both put into a rebuild of all your project's to achieve a 100% standard , ie , if it's not good enough for me , it's not good enough for a buyer I would gladly buy a car from you before buying from a used car dealership as I know what I would be getting. . P.S what's happening to the Range Rover ?? . . Stay safe you and your's and , best wish's from Glasgow .

    Came up lovely a nice little first car for someone those seats were vial the car was clearly unloved glad it’s been brought back to life - one comment though is I use a vax on my seats and carpets to extract the water might be worth you investing in something like that then you can jet them even on wet days as you would be able to extract the majority of water and it cuts the drying time down x

    It looks like it was a company vehicle with all the sticker residue that was all over it. It was probably one that had multiple drivers so nobody felt it was up to them to get it cleaned inside. If it had had the same driver all the time then it probably would have been a different story and would have been cleaned inside when it needed it...
    It's come up really well, and anybody should be happy to be the next owner of it. It's certainly a million times better than the damaged, very sad-looking little car that turned up on the transporter...

    Bet the owner was a woman with a dog or two. My Mrs has never cleaned a car in her life, inside or out. The only time it got cleaned was when I did it. It was always full of choclate rappers, empty crisp bags, about four pairs of shoes, coats, cardigans, you name it. She had a Suzuki Swift from new for ten years, I scrapped it in 2012 because she retired early and did'nt need one. She's never had a car since. Funny cos she's really house proud and always cleaning, It's like a new pin. Women and cars eh!
