    The quality of your repairs is out of this world, & the fact that you will not let a car go till it is 100% right is a credit to you both. Cracking job again guys.👍🚗😁😍

    The Ford KA is such a cute little car, this one, now repaired to a very high standard, will make a lovely little runaround for someone❤️.

    I love how you guys crunch the numbers for those interested and how you get the community involved with a chance to buy the cars you’ve worked on. Keep up the great work both of you 👍

    In a world that has gone mad, it is so pleasing to see a couple of genuine and honest human beings, I bet you two restore a lot of peoples faith in humanity.
    Your unique blend of content, coupled with your endearing personalities is what draws the punters in.
    Keep up the good work and thank you. Oi Queen, MBA their way please 😁👍

    I’ve said it before and will say it again in the current world we live in we are encouraged to recycle everything, you take what otherwise would would be dead and buried and do an amazing job on them all , you also provide an insight and encouragement to thousands of viewers to try it out themselves. So you are actually providing not only amazing videos but how to vids on repairs , keep up the amazing videos 👍

    @pamboskourtoulos5239 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Happy to see that the rear number plate is still Yellow background. Here in Cyprus they have stopped doing that. white number plates for front and rear. Does not look nice in my opinion. Great video as usual. thanks guys.

    The Ka is also based on the same platform as my 2011 Fiat Panda and for a city car they drive great and hold their own on the motorway while still giving great mpg. This car is an absolute bargain and such a nice colour.

  • @peterdavies3862
    @peterdavies3862 3 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    Its the daily trip to Kent Autos..... Wow, the KA came out beautifully, those joins in the rear quarter panel were flawless. How on earth did you manage that?! Great paintwork as well. And I'm sure everybody noticed the gorgeous model in the background at the start of the video - you must never sell the white RS Turbo!

    A massive tip for you guys from us in Australia 🇦🇺. When driving and your front windscreen fogs up. Put your aircon on and your dial set to the desired temp. Your windscreen will de-fog in seconds. Trust me. So no need to record your awesome video with the windows down 👍🏻

    Chris and rob it’s the little things that you both do that we like when you was on the time lapse putting the KA back together Chris rather then use a duster and some spray on the number plate he used the buffer on the cordless drill. Classic if your going to do it so it well. You both are the nuts 👍🏻 good video keep it up 👍🏻

  • @lewisf4398
    @lewisf4398 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Great episode! Loved all the updates, shame about the micro-camper. I think you have to apply for it retrospectively as there needs to be a means of cooking, running water (and other tick boxes) before you can change it on V5. Would make a great series still! Looking forward to the Focus vid!

      From August 2020
      This list describes the external features which are commonly seen in motor caravans, and it is intended to provide guidance on what DVLA expects to see when considering your application:
      2 or more windows on at least one side of the main body (this does not include windows on the driver or passenger doors) to provide a reasonable amount of daylight into the living accommodationa separate door which provides access to the living accommodation of the vehicle (this excludes the driver and passenger doors); a window on this door counts as a separate window on the main bodymotor caravan-style graphics on both sides of the vehiclean awning bar attached to either side of the vehiclea high-top roof (this does not include a pop-top elevating roof)
      DVLA will need photographic evidence of the completed conversion.

  • @Mouse2113
    @Mouse2113 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Another fantastic turnaround guys. Heard the Ka has slightly better suspension than the normal 500 which would explain why it drives a little better. I love the original Ka's as I learned to drive in one and they drive great, shame they mostly have rotted away

    The camper conversion on the log books been complicated for a while. However when the issue first arose back a couple of years ago the DVLA did not release clear info for a while on what they had to be.
    Going forwards it seems we can continue to convert as the insurers are aware of this strange move by the DVLA so they can be insured/used as campers still.
    (I've been dealing in Campers for a few years now)
