Shame on Copart for those needless gouges, you should definitely bill them for the paintwork. Very nice to see the precision that Chris insists on when using the jig and dollying the sill. Keep up the good work, guys.
Id leave the airbag as it is suits the interior,also Chris is a man of many talents a real old school mechanic can put his hand to anything,and the workshop is always so tidy a place for everything😃👏🏻👏🏻
Well Lads, another good vid. Re. Billing Copart for paint damage. They are fast enough to charge a fee so it's only fair to bill them for damage. Good luck .
Good evening Rob and Chris, firstly I think that the steering wheel airbag looks like it came like that from the factory, as it looks like the seats and the door cards. Car looks great. Well done trying to get them to pay for the paint damage. Thank you for taking the time to upload another video. Ged.
I’d send the invoice Copart. It’s all about good faith. You’ve purchased the car from them based on photos and since the sale it has been damaged beyond existing. When you think of all the custom that has gone Coparts way because of you guys!
Copart don’t work on good faith. It’s in the t&cs, you agree to it when bidding and buying. It literally says you may not receive this vehicle, and more damage may be on the vehicle than is visible in the photos.
Thanks for another great video. To be honest I wouldn't bill copart, yes that damage is annoying but at the end of the day you need them more than they need you. I've worked for companies that follow the " oh well we made you mad and stop coming here, but the next guy was already walking in when you left ! " I don't see copart being any different with some of this stuff and a possible management attitude causing you problems later. Take care guys
The airbag is perfect. It’s embarrassing to think how many headlights and taillights have gone in the bin for a lug glad manufacturers are getting smarter. Thanks so much for sharing gentlemen. I love the color too
Nice job. This is the first time I've watched one of your videos (a friend told me about you chaps) but I'll definitely try to find time for more. Aaaaaand Fiesta RST lurking around in the background. That takes me back. Wicked! 👏🏼
I think most mild hybrids are 48V. When Rob said "starternator" I was reminded of the old Dynastart units!! I hired one of these last year and it was easily the nicest 500 I've driven - same colour, too.
Great idea sending Copart an invoice, not good on them. Now Rob you said you and Chris were clock watching, did you notice your clock was stopped at 10-04, its been like that the last 20 years!!😜. Cheers guys...
Chris is right, save yourself a journey Rob, the airbag looks right 👍. For a 500, I'm not a fan, but that one's a beautiful little car, like the colour.
Hello Chris & Rob. Putting this car right was made so easy, and Chris is just so modest about the amount of bodywork / skills that was needed to get the damage area(s) sorted. Best wishes from Lincolnshire
Totally agree with the sticker removal comment. Couple of years back I bought a van that had been wrapped and every panel was scratched when the wrap was removed. Not sure what the seller was trying to achieve as the history with previous owners details are sold with the van. Every time I got in the van for the years that I owned it I couldn’t help but think if I had been left to take the stickers off I would have taken my time and done it without damaging the paint. Obviously on selling the paint damage devalued it. Who in their right mind would think that a Stanley knife blade is the correct tool to use against paint work ?
Add Cuntpar stickers to it, in Copar colours. Park it outside for a week. Airbag. It strangely matches the interior. Get a black one Rob, then it will not match the strange interior. Chris. You get better every time you appear. You use logic, and are good with your hands. A great pair/team. And honest.
Bought a 2019 Peugeot Expert from Copart Kent last week. Someone there had removed the sign writing with a scraper, causing so much unnecessary paint dammage on all panels, was so hacked off with them, was terrible, spoilt perfectly good paint work 🤬 Very much doubt Copart will give a dam. Top Vid as always 👍👍
Nice work Rob and Chris on this Hybrid 500,that subframe was slightly bent.with the parts it looks alot better.i would keep the white steering airbag as it matches the interior.
Bugger it boys charge Copart for the unnecessary paint damage. You guys didn't gauge them panels. Great work as usual guys. Keep that steering wheel airbag cuz it fits in within that interior. Keep up the great work ❤😊😊
I follow a few channels similar to this one. The amount of damage, extra damage, that’s pointed out on those channels is shocking. Within last week a Corsa which looked a tidy piece of repairable salvage had substantial roof damage on collection. Clearly acquired whilst in co parts care. Another thing worth noting is that the companies selling salvage through co part must be losing out financially. The Corsa was returned. The damage to this Fiat is just mindless. It’s been bastardised basically. I think approaching co part in such a manner as you plan is an excellent idea and others with same experience should do the same. 👍🏻
I’d leave the airbag as it is as well guys it looks cool and matches the two tone in the car already. U guys should do the invoice idea and send it to copart for the additional paintwork coz they r not disclosing pictures or information of the additional damage that is on the car and they r getting away with it which is not on(a certain Audi q2 springs to mind lol)when u get it and it’s costing u more money that u expect which is an absolute pain for you guys with all the fantastic videos and content that u do.
This is coming along nicely with Chris's skills he does make it look easy but we know it's not. I would leave the steering wheel airbag Gents, it is fine with a bit of custom trim. Who knows what they used to remove those stickers but I bet the apprentice could have done it better. It might be worth sending them an invoice just because you have nothing to lose, maybe they will take more care next time. Once again well done both of you for your hard work. 👍👍
Ive not had the pleasure of a fiat 500 in the current form but the old fiat 500 what fun on a cheap budget. This will do someone a treat and be nice to see it finished. As far as the copart invoice good luck......... you could say its not as advertised and not fit for purpose but thats the thing when buying salvage. nice one boys crack on
I’ve done that same sketch on an exact same car. The rivnuts were missing on my new front panel too but also check that your new crash bar has the thread for the tow eye, mine was missing, wasn’t even a thread on the opposite side.
I do like your jig system it's so compact. Has it got all the measurement rods and rails and information books with measurement points like you use to get with car-o-liner. I'm well impressed. Is Chris happy with it is there any problems with it. Keep the cream air bag suits it well ❤
Chris and Rob turn what looks like bangers with wigs with a face like a slapped horse into models walking the catwalk.....LEGENDS the pair ❤2ALL StaySafe ✌🤜🏽
Considering how many people, and potential customers, watch this channel then Copart needs to offer some visible recompense/goodwill towards the damaged paint.
Brilliant video 📹 👏 and turn around on the little fait someone is going to get a little belter of a motor this one didn't seem to get you to much hassle and hard graft it's about time fellas you billed them people as they don't seem to give a monkeys about their punters especially the amount of business you to give them. Take care and stay lucky and healthy looking forward to Sundays video as usual 😊 ❤
I completely understand the want to send copart an invoice for the damage they've done to the paintwork, but it might be worth talking to someone at copart rather than just sending an invoice
I'd would be interested to hear peoples experiences of the different branches. I recently bought a 2004 Volvo C70 2.3 T5 convertible from Copart Wisbech and cant fault the experience (or price - £900 plus fees). I'd be more hesitant buying from my closest Rochford and Sandwich branches as the reviews are pretty bad
Shows how much respect they have for well known customers,how do you think they deal with everyday folks?? Time to find another supplier who treat customers with decent customer service.
That’s an excellent idea to send an invoice to Copart for the extra paint repairs as that side of their business is getting beyond a joke. I think you should leave that airbag in as it doesn’t look out of place 👍🏻🏴
I’d leave the airbag as it is lads I think it looks great as Chris said it matches the seats & door cards 👍👍
Spot on.
Yeah defo leave it I don’t think it looks bad with the 2 tone keep cost down too
Shame on Copart for those needless gouges, you should definitely bill them for the paintwork. Very nice to see the precision that Chris insists on when using the jig and dollying the sill. Keep up the good work, guys.
Trouble is if Rob starts billing them then they might be awkward about selling to Rob and Chris in the future.
You cant bill them. You are buying salvage not a car
@@andywakefield9826 They still have a buyer protection pledge. Read it.
Id leave the airbag as it is suits the interior,also Chris is a man of many talents a real old school mechanic can put his hand to anything,and the workshop is always so tidy a place for everything😃👏🏻👏🏻

Well said Liam.
Copart will say F and off. I had similar experience and they robbed all the fuel. 😡😡😡
@@sleepysamk1400it does say that in the t's and C's tbf. Copart isn't for everyone!
Copart don’t work on good faith. It’s in the t&cs, you agree to it when bidding and buying. It literally says you may not receive this vehicle, and more damage may be on the vehicle than is visible in the photos.
You 2 are the best repairers on the net. Honest, hard-working, and entertaining 😊🎉
Thanks for another great video. To be honest I wouldn't bill copart, yes that damage is annoying but at the end of the day you need them more than they need you.

I really hope Co part pay the additional costs for the paint work and another little gem of a motor 👌👌👌
The airbag is perfect. It’s embarrassing to think how many headlights and taillights have gone in the bin for a lug glad manufacturers are getting smarter. Thanks so much for sharing gentlemen. I love the color too
Keep the cream steering wheel, looks the part 👌
Cream air bag looks fine lads, Rob stop losing sleep over it mate lol
Nice job. This is the first time I've watched one of your videos (a friend told me about you chaps) but I'll definitely try to find time for more. Aaaaaand Fiesta RST lurking around in the background. That takes me back. Wicked! 👏🏼

It will be interesting to see what, copart say over Chris
Invoice well done guys
Great idea sending Copart an invoice, not good on them. Now Rob you said you and Chris were clock watching, did you notice your clock was stopped at 10-04, its been like that the last 20 years!!😜. Cheers guys...
Air bag looks great. Blends in with the rest of the interior lovely
good luck with letter to co part and I do agree they should be held responsible for the extra damage 👍
Chris is right, save yourself a journey Rob, the airbag looks right 👍. For a 500, I'm not a fan, but that one's a beautiful little car, like the colour.

Great work fellas. You are my favourite salvage rebuild channel by a long way. Keep up the great work.
Great video, I would invoice copart for the additional damage, they might be more careful if they have a few of those, keep air bag as it is
Great work as always from the master. 👍👍👍👍
Great see this rebuild, I have one, so I learnt a great deal about my car too. As usual well done lads!
Add Cuntpar stickers to it, in Copar colours. Park it outside for a week.
Airbag. It strangely matches the interior. Get a black one Rob, then it will not match the strange interior.
Chris. You get better every time you appear. You use logic, and are good with your hands.
A great pair/team. And honest.
Great progress guys! I'd leave the airbag, it blends with the rest of the interior. Definitely send Copart an invoice for extra paintwork 👍
Great video again guys, as always! Leave the cream airbag in place, it brightens up the interior and matches the seats.
Yes! Love you two - damn right invoice them for the damage they've done.
Bought a 2019 Peugeot Expert from Copart Kent last week. Someone there had removed the sign writing with a scraper, causing so much unnecessary paint dammage on all panels, was so hacked off with them, was terrible, spoilt perfectly good paint work 🤬

I reckon the ASM guy has a side hustle as a shop mannequin. 😬
A Viking shop mannequin 😁👍
The cute little fiat fights back ,to live another day.
Fantastic video guys , oh more jokes plz Rob 😂😂 !
Cracking video lad's thanks for sharing 👍. Leave the airbag it looks great 👍 👌
Good luck with all the ongoing projects and all the best guys 👍👍👍
Parts is parts... Good work fellas! 🖐🏽
Air bag looks ok as it is and match's the seats etc lovely

This little skate is coming along nicely lads cracking video as usual crack on !
Brilliant job Chris
Cream air bag looks great - leave it as it is!!
ha ha lol he nearly said " get s**t done". nice save chris. lol
Airbag is perfectly fine & Matches the interior.
Another great video lads I love watching Chris work he’s so skilled 👌
Little fiat will look nice when it comes back from paint ,well done guys
Leave the airbag looks good 👍
Air bag looks fine leave it 👍👍
Great job lads 👍, shame about the Copart damage ☹️
Hi rob and Chris, great video on the wee car, I would leave the air bag lad's, from marty in Belfast northern Ireland God bless
As much as I appreciate the content, 10 mins wasn’t enough today, should have been longer lol .. seriously, great work, I wish you all the success.
New tyres should always go on the rear, on both
2 and 4 wheel drive cars. This is for immediate and long term protection from lift off oversteer.
Great attention to detail
Good luck with that invoice!
Magicians 🤣😂 excellent video geezers 👍
I’ve done that same sketch on an exact same car. The rivnuts were missing on my new front panel too but also check that your new crash bar has the thread for the tow eye, mine was missing, wasn’t even a thread on the opposite side.
Class as always,cheers gents.
I say it again Chrises knowledge is insane!!!
Chris is a bloody wizard and a treasure.
that noise when he moved forward was the ramp mate
I do like your jig system it's so compact.
Has it got all the measurement rods and rails and information books with measurement points like you use to get with car-o-liner.
I'm well impressed.
Is Chris happy with it is there any problems with it.
Keep the cream air bag suits it well ❤
Chris and Rob turn what looks like bangers with wigs with a face like a slapped horse into models walking the catwalk.....LEGENDS the pair
❤2ALL
StaySafe
✌🤜🏽
Great job guys. I would leave the airbag as it is matches anyway
Leave the air bag like that looks very good 👍🏻👍🏻
You know there’s going to be a tidy profit when Rob gets excited over the headlamp repair kits 😅
Clucking Bell, did Chris just say ship, goodness gracious😂 plucka duck. Let loose mother goose😂
Great video Rob and Chris
Air bag looks good, as you say it matches plus no need to drive to Essex :-)
Considering how many people, and potential customers, watch this channel then Copart needs to offer some visible recompense/goodwill towards the damaged paint.
It was just perfect. wonderful job.
As always. Great video Boy's. Cheers.
Rob said he was going to Essex to get some airbags.
Essex air bags, I've heard of those.
On the headlight repair kits Audi A2 have had them since 2001, same idea with 2 screw holes to fit repair lug
The mile hybrid club. ❤
Brilliant video 📹 👏 and turn around on the little fait someone is going to get a little belter of a motor this one didn't seem to get you to much hassle and hard graft it's about time fellas you billed them people as they don't seem to give a monkeys about their punters especially the amount of business you to give them. Take care and stay lucky and healthy looking forward to Sundays video as usual 😊 ❤
Another brilliant video guys 👍
Nice work lads as usual 👍👍👍
Air bag has no need to be changed looks great.
I completely understand the want to send copart an invoice for the damage they've done to the paintwork, but it might be worth talking to someone at copart rather than just sending an invoice
Was the delivery man a statue? He looked very lifelike 😂
Don't think I'd argue with him either.
A Viking
It was the I don’t want to be on telly look 😂😂
😂
like a deer caught in headlights
Thanks love all your videos
To be fair the low prices you sell the cars for I can't see anyone not having it for the sake of a 2 tone steering wheel
I'd would be interested to hear peoples experiences of the different branches. I recently bought a 2004 Volvo C70 2.3 T5 convertible from Copart Wisbech and cant fault the experience (or price - £900 plus fees).
I'd be more hesitant buying from my closest Rochford and Sandwich branches as the reviews are pretty bad
The airbag looks ok, it matches the rest of the interior.
I'd leave the airbag as is, keeps the two tone. And I agree you should bill copart for the needless damage
Thanks for the film. I agree you should take Copart on. Send them the bill . That's going to make a lovely car for someone.
Great work Chris 👍 👍
Great video lads, leave the airbag it looks fine.
Year boyzones another top job 👍👍👍👍👍
Shows how much respect they have for well known customers,how do you think they deal with everyday folks?? Time to find another supplier who treat customers with decent customer service.
Great, who?😂😂the others are even worse and the cars are dogs
Hit Copart with an invoice guys. To often you have had to sort out damage they have caused.
Nice one Boys another great video
Leave the cream air bag, blends in nice 👍
I think the cream wheel centre makes it just that bit more quirkier. I’d leave it as it is.
Definitely invoice them lads, they are costing you money and time it’s only when it costs them money that they will be more careful, lovely post guys
Doesn’t work like that though
Evening Chris and rob. Please can you put a battery in the clock please 🤣
That’s an excellent idea to send an invoice to Copart for the extra paint repairs as that side of their business is getting beyond a joke. I think you should leave that airbag in as it doesn’t look out of place 👍🏻🏴
