Funny I'm sat at the dinning room table with my son eating dinner and I'm listening to Rob my boy suddenly says this bloke don't stop talking dad lol I nearly spat my dinner out ..lol 😄
🤣🤣
My misses said there was a package for me Yesterday. I opened it and it was a Salvage rebuilds hoodie she had bought for me. Very happy boy. 😀
Thank you bud really appreciate it 👍
WOW !!!!! You guys have turned it from a Dagenham dustbin to a Dagenham delight . Chris and Rob, you have worked your magic yet again. You guys are ACE !!!!!
Concur 😀👍
Built in Germany - saarlouis & Spain-Valencia. Ford stopped making cars in the UK in 2002.

@@royharwood I know that. I even call my own Focus Dusty Bin. My original comment is just light hearted banter.

Kent Auto Salvage saves the day again! They always sort you guys out.
So many people doubted you and said this car should be scrapped. This car has turned out to be fantastic and has generated tons of interest.
Great video. Love the enthusiasm: the impish enthusiasm of Rob and the understated enthusiasm of Chris.
Silicone grease on slide pins, copper grease can seize the caliper as it drys out. 👌
Maybe but I've always used copper without any issues. Better than nothing as seems to be the current school of thought.
@@stephenricketts7764 I have had it happen before, not long actually after a recent brake job. BMW do/did tell you not to use anything in their service manuals. Have a google about the subject in general 👍
Yet another thorough job. I love the fact that you and Chris take great care to make sure that your cars are in the best condition they can be before selling on.
A brilliant finish to the Focus. Well done once again.
This shows them to be a pair of perfectionists , they are not any job will do.
It’s not brilliant it’s the worst car ever
You guys really brought this one back from the brink! Could have easily been scrapped but after the SRUK treatment its now a cracking car that has years of life left in it. Should give someone great service in the future.
Always a win with salvage rebuilds, quality content regardless of profit or loss!
I want to buy it , I have the money for it , please please please.
Builds like this is why I enjoy this channel. It'll be a long time till A car comes along with a story like that Focus has
This focus has to be one of my favourite series you've done. Looking forward to next week 😁 🍻
Fair play gents you’ve turned that one round
Enjoy your weekend 👍
You're doing the environment a massive favour bringing these cars back to life and giving them many more miles to run. It really makes a difference to natural resources etc so well done and nice job👍
Great job Rob and Chris! This channel is just getting better and better. The two of you together make the greatest team. You are very natural, and not some speedtalking self praising american, and i just love that! (sorry guys over there - not all of you are like that of course)
Pair of teasers keeping us hanging lol. This focus is gonna put a few quid in your back pockets, nicely done guys.
From an ugly duckling to a beautiful black swan,you guys are a credit to the trade, your enthusiasm for all things mechanical is endless. I can't wait for next weeks episode ❤️ it 👍
so many people ive heard say things like "my car hasnt got to 100k yet so im not doing timing yet" they forget that there is a time limit too as rubber can perish over time. so its nice that you do these things regardless, brakes would have been fine but im sure you feel better when you come to sell it knowing its done and safe. keep up the good work and nicely done !!!
We need honest people like you in vehicle repair shops. Customers won't get ripped off.
Great job Rob and Chris, what a turn around for that focus, great looking car. Really enjoy following salvage rebuilds . Andy C .
One of the most underrated finds you've had other than the Skoda you had. Top cars them focus. 😁
Spot on you two, top job as always. Someone is going to get a brand new 10yr old car for sure!
Like magic. Hocus pocus be like new you focus 💥Well done guys 👊👊
I use dinotrol on cranes offshore and you are right it’s really good stuff, it protects everything. Someone going to get a good focus there
The Ford Focus has been a model that can look good in different styles. That is a lovely example of the Focus.
0:37 the rear wiper blade is positioned upside down!... also, I congratulate you for the work!
👏👏👏
Now this focus definitely belongs on this channel salvage rebuilds if you didn’t find this car it would of got scrapped but you have given it a new life I love these sorts of videos and rebuilds
What a cracking motor Rob. It's like a time capsule, thanks to you and Chris for saving it.
These Focus's really are absolute bargains in their class and drive lovely while still looking good. Perfect for those who don't like to loose/waste money on cars.
It may only have 19000 on the clock but yet again you have gone the extra mile to make this car perfect for its new owner. Big respect to you both 👍👍
Please excuse my comments, but I am not really into cars but I do love to watch them being fixed. Technically I am still a qualified diesel fitter and these videos help me remember things I no longer have access to., I enjoyed this guys :)
Realky glad to see the focus back together,I have had 3 of them ,they never let me down once, these vidios just getting better all the time ,credit to you both,like I have said before ,best salvage channel on TH-cam
I do love anything with a blue oval. Thanks for saving it.
Amazing job lads. Your attention to detail is faultless and commendable. I would buy any car you sell with complete confidence its PERFECT.
Stumbled on this by accident and it's addictive watching. Thoroughly enjoyed watching, thanks for filming.
Mark of a top channel when you get in the habit of giving it a like before you have watched the video ! 😁❤️
What a cracking car, lads. As found, it could so easily have ended up scrapped. Next week sounds interesting!😁
No channel has us wondering what's coming up like this one! Looks like another cracking week of content is on it's way!
Hi Rob and Chris, what a transformation eh, will be a great buy for someone as always. Enjoyed this one guy's. Cheers, Alex.
You usually turn out great vehicles, but that one must be your car of the year. For anyone who is in the market for a great, clean low mileage car, that must be the one for them. Not just your perfect, reliable work, but a shrewd buy when you opted to take it on. Buy right and sell well, this must be a great one for the business. You have a lovely weekend and the same to all viewers. It sounds like an upcoming week to get nice and fit, to be ready to enjoy.
A lovely car guys, can't wait to see the number crunching after the bodywork is done. As ever great attention to detail very good to see.
*Top tip:* Use silicon grease for the caliper slider pins as the mineral grease can deteriorate the rubber inserts. This applies to all instances where the grease contacts with rubber components.
Nice one lads, can’t wait for next week to see your two new motors you’ve acquired. Have a great weekend chaps👍👍
I have a mate that has taught me a lot about cars but he listens to my theories about car and motorbike faults He is a time served mechanic. I so appreciate that. I served my time as a time served fitter. No matter how much you know, every day is a school day. No-one knows everything. I love the way you ask for help in your vids.
Cannot believe what you've done with that shed of a car. Love the MOT tester's reaction - says it all! Well done fellas - another triumph (No, Ford!), and another car rescued. Perfick!
That's outstanding what you both done to that car. So glad you didn't scrap it. Keep the great videos coming gents 👍👍
What a turnaround from a shell to a showroom, once again brilliant work from you guys. Very much looking forward to what you have for us next week.
I only subscribed to this channel a couple of months ago but i must admit as a vehicle mechanic myself im very impressed with the way you sort these cars ‘’properly’’ im a stickler for detail and doing the job right, if your not going to do it right then dont do it at all is my motto ! well done to you both rob and chris ,greetings from jersey Channel Islands !
Wow! What a job. Great work you two. I love these resurrection jobs. They’re ones I can relate to! Come on though Rob, how about getting at least one can for the quiet man. What a team you make. Thanks for the upbeat start to my weekend.
Total credit to you two for turning the Focus around. A lot of people would never have the guts to take on the necessary works this car required. Credit to you Rob and Chris it’s been excellent content. I cannot wait for next week.
Yet again another brilliant instalment!! That car looks really good now and the way the pan and underside looks is amazing considering where it was. Great content and did enjoy Chris’s chance to supervise while you did some work 😂👍Have a good weekend guys
Hi Chris & Rob I came across your channel just browsing one day never been really interested in the whole car repair and fix sort of side or even car's,well having watched watched you both I'm really into watching what you both do.

Anyway Chris & Rob keep it up your top guys 💯👌👍
Best vid I've enjoyed, strange background for the poor Focus that turned into a Happy ending... I'm hooked! regards to you both Mr Gee From Sunny Sunderland
Did you just leave us on a cliffhanger Rob? I think you did, didn't you? Oooh I can not wait for next week's videos now...👍😜
One of the things I love about watching your channel is the care you take in the process of bringing vehicles back to mint condition, what a transformation.
That Focus is looking great. Even better when its had a bit of paint. Great job Rob and Chris

Hi Rob and Chris, when you showed us that car the first time, yeah it looked terrible. When you started telling us all about it I knew that is was completely fixable and that you two were going to do a perfect job of it. Thanks once again for the best content. When I am at work and I look at my phone and see a notification that you guys have uploaded another video I instantly cheer up and know that when I get home I have something awesome to watch. It doesn't matter what you do, it's always very entertaining. I am very much looking forward to the next video.cheers mates👍👍
