Breakers yard is like Disney world if you’re in to cars
wow, loving the frequency and variety of the uploads lately!
I love these type videos. Can’t just be me that gets that excited butterflies feeling when you go to a scrappy to see what they’ve got in 😂
Something about watching these vids at 10:45pm lol
Great Vid. You know its getting serious when the wife goes "Is Rob on tonight "!!! She will want a signed photo next 🤣🤣 Keep them coming mate I think you could overtake Coronation Street viewings 😁😁🙏🙏🤣🤣
Would love for you to do an enthusiast car every now and again. Something like the Fiesta ST that your saw or a Fabia VRS or something.
Used to enjoy mooching around the local scrap yard, cars piled 3 high, no elf n safety then
Hope you get the Seat Leon FR, Lovely Cars 😉
This video could of gone for 45 mins and I would be happy. Maybe do a part 2? Showing them doing a de pollution. That would be awesome!
You could also do a rebuild challenge! Take one of their cars & using all their parts, completely fix it up in 1-2 days - that makes an extra long video :) you could split the profit with them or something? Love all the videos mate :)
When i was a child i told my parents that i want to work at a salvage yard as a grown up, didn’t happen after all... :)
You can always go for it mate. Seems like a good fun job! I love going down the yard to pick up parts or cars there’s always something new and interesting
Brings Back Memories When i was young At a breakers yard Every Weekend Getting Bits For Cars i was playing with :) LOve the Video
yep.. My huntt was Mk2 escort parts and twin choke webbers off the cortinas
enjoyable content as always Rob, that is one impressive site wouldn't enjoy having to do the stock count!
Very interesting....who doesn't like a guided tour round a boneyard😎👍
quick question? was does Rob say selvage and not salvage? selvage is the edge of woven fabric?? love these videos btw maybe its just his accent so no offence meant
God-dang Rob are you trying to drag me out of retirement! Some very tempting easy repair cars you've shown. Fill your boots TH-cam watchers. Yes please, to more like this. Shane. :-)
No danger of you running out of content anytime soon. Very interesting walk-around.
I love breakers yards. I spent lots of my youth picking over old wrecks for bits to keep my old wrecks on the road. Those were the days!
You guys need to delay your videos by a week. Doesn’t change the quality of the content and stops your competitors using your hard work to find deals
Do not fancy that 14 plate corsa Rob its been passed over a few times! leave it alone!
Wow that's a lot of salvage makes you realize how many people have accidents no wonder my insurance is so much 😠👍👌👏
True even if I bought a £200 car the insurance would be near £2,000 even at my age
FFS 55 seconds after upload you get a thumbs down .... unbelievable
Born in 65
I can remember scrap yards that had them 5 high and allowing you to go were ever you wanted.
We use to arrive and ask " have you got an escort,or mini" just to get in and then spend what seemed like hours looking for bits and bobs.
Walk out saying " you didn't have what I needed" then drive away,unloading your socks and inner jacket pockets off all the bits and bobs (nuts ,screws, trim clips,bulbs,etc)
Some places even had an honesty tin (cos they knew what people did.
Same here money under seats, phones etc
Found an envelope with £47 in it well in 1978 that was a hell of a lot of money
And what about the alsatian guard dogs,certainly scrap yards were different in the 70,s and 80,s for sure
@@jeffsparey9585 very true Jeff
You got to love a good rummage in a breakers yard. I am like a kid in a sweet shop in a yard.
Another great video, for the money being asked I would have thought that the Corsa would be well worth repairing.
Ebay has got too dear for seller to make it pay now, seller are looking at 15% to ebay/paypal
Those Corsa’s , the engine mounts are designed to sheer, idea is the engine breaks free and passes under the car in a serious front ender....occupants don’t get a hot 3,000rpm engine sat on their knees....Fabulous to see the yard, when I was 18 running old cars , it was a Friday afternoon routine to go down the breakers for parts slightly better than the parts on my car....good ol days LOL
How the Scrappies have changed ... Back in the day you would have to climb Five cars High to get the bits you wanted ..... Once you dodged the Dogs of course, scattered randomly, chained to the boots and backs of vans usually :-)
Put the s@@ts up me on that mezzanine floor without the handrail. But vid was pure nostalgia and brought back many happy memories of buying spare parts for my various projects. Corsa would make a great vid and Seat would only be for the brave. Great vids....keep em coming.
Love listening to you Rob
" lovely Volvo there "
& it's all mangled 🤣🤣
Saturday special Rob? we have been spoilt this week.
Thanks for the invitation.
We’ve been signed in with Salvage Rebuild UK. l found the channel quite by accident rather than design about three months barley missing a day.or night it better than any medication. Rob l’ve your love for the job is so very infectious even her indoors is the same.
Anyway l shall have to stop “waffling” chaps. Just a word of warning to the both you are giving so much to everyone please do not Burn burn-your selves
Out
I don’t know how you have time to mend cars with all this content you’re putting up. You’re a great guy Rob. Great videos, keep them coming!!! 👍🏻
Corsa could be a white elephant. “Not backed” twice. It might have hidden engine damage costly mistake?
Any electric vehicles starting to show up at breakers yet Rob? Is working on them something that you and Chris would take on? Might be interesting.. ⚡️
Now that is a good question because Chris seems to be expert in any vehicle we will see 😀
I didn't realise Arthur Daley had that many cars on his forecourt. Superb
If the wheels on the vw polo gti sell for £500 on ebay and they'd sell it for £50, is it not worth flipping?
I did use to do a bit but I don’t get time now 👍
I would buy the corsa
Be a bit of work but will be a good one to fix up and looks like the only body panel
Is the front bumper
I used to love going round breakers yards, you can get some great deals, and usually the guys are really helpful, nice background Rob, that's porn for us petrol heads lol
yes please rob do the walk a round again please i love looking at car scrap and car part i use to do up car but where my anxiety and depression has got the beater of me 😭
Basically, this is porn..... that you don't mind people seeing
Thanks again gents for the great content.and a big hello from Newcastle 😁👍🏻
Round of applause everyone for Rob and Chris giving us a great week of videos 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Lol 👍
@@sruk You’ve given us all so much cheer during a very difficult time 😀
Loved your visit to the breakers, I love wandering round them myself! 👍🙂
get that corsa rob a lot different than just the usual panel damage
Another great video Rob, very enjoyable thanks 🙏🏻
Hi Rob, i own Baxenden Car Breakers LTD in baxenden, Accrington, i wouldn't mind you coming up to have a look around, we have a sierra XR4i with a cosworth 24v in it, sierra sapphire cosworth, escort mk3 with 1600 miles on it, gilbern invader mk3, sierra sapphire cosworth lookalike with a st170 turbo vconversion, dutton sierra, corsair 2000e resto project, and all sorts of other stuff to look at
Have you got any Tesla’s or Tesla parts?
@@domtdoodar99 not at the moment sorry
Do you have a minimum age for people on site
Hi John, have you got any complete 205 GTIs in or parts? Thanks.
@@Wreck-Gar Not at the moment, we have done in the past though
Them Fiesta Alloys are off a MK8 St Line, I have the exact same ones 🤣
Would love to see you repair that corsa and that seat Leon
Male theme park love a good scrap yard hunt
Love it not many breakers you can walk around here in London anymore 👍
Brilliant video. Top content. Nice to see a proper breakers yard that can be walked around. Really enjoying your video 👍🏼👍🏼
Could buy a damaged car and rebuild it in one day from that yard plenty of nice stock
G'day, Rob! That was smashingly good! I enjoyed the video! (you could honestly, walk round there all day) By the way... You are quite right about, (if you folks work out all the bits) with 20,000 on the clock! The Corsa will be come a nice little car, for someone to enjoy! And, that is very repairable too!! Thank you! Cheers! 😊🚗✌🏻❤️
The last scrap yard I went to was that rough the alsation Gaurd dog had a transit van starter motor tied to his collar during the day ! That's a great yard and a real treasure trove !
That Corsa looks like a bargain Rob. Nearly new.
Good luck with your new project lads 👍
Thank you, Rob, for yet another brilliant video. A glimpse into something which resembles a normal, functioning world, something which seems to be out of reach for many of us.
Really like the yard video, spent a lot of time in my escort and mini driving days at breakers, getting oily n balancing on a stack to get a Rotor arm out! takes me back, just alot more organised! 😉🤣
I would say your Corsa is too far gone -so much work ! Good video
Yes like to see this type of content, cheers.
if you get it.......we will watch....lol
Great video Rob 👍 Very interesting 🤨 👍 I’m sure I’m with many others who would be interested in a few more of these vids interspersed between your builds etc 👍 When I saw the damage on the Corsa I have to say I “gulped” because of the damage 💥 and then price 💴😮 But I was surprised 🙌 to hear 👂 from you that you were confident 😌 that you boys could turn it around and get it out the door for a profit (shows what I know - nowt is the short answer 😉) It would make a cracking series and I’d love to see what it’d cost to repair and how much you’d flip it for after all the no doubt hard work that’d no doubt go into it 👍
Anyway 😊 again 👍 Keep up the great work 👍
But as someone else wisely said on here “be careful not to burn 🔥 yourselves out” 👍
Warmest wishes to you both from South Wales 🏴 - Jonathan 😊 👍
Charge up your Sealey ratchets.....It's another vid from Salvage Rebuilds UK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!😀👍
Good video sir I can remember walking around the scrap yard with 3 cars on top of each other and climbing up to get the parts
That was a hell of a lot of cars and other vehicles it seems a lot more accidents happen down in you neck of the woods than where I live!!! Useful for you lads but depressing to see the results of such carnage, some prides and joy going to the crushers instead of getting polished!!!
Brilliant video as always Rob. What a size of a place. No wonder it’s you go to place. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
If it's worth doing rob,grab the corsa!
Love the yard workarounds, fascinating places
Chris having a day off.. no chance, he’ll be cracking on with something! 😂
Super interesting, like you I could spend the day exploring a yard like that!!
Good addictive man junk food!!! Love
Throughly lv a scrap yard if you get the corsa at that price it's a nice profit rob have a good weekend guys.👌👌👌
It proves just one thing in this post us brits can't drive
Am British now, used to be Danish, learnt to drive in Denmark. I am awfully sorry, but I will have to agree with you ! 😉
@@thefreedomguyuk
"Am British now, used to be Danish"
So if a Dog is born in a stable its a Horse?
The Daftest comment ever Morten.............................
I suspect that Corsa is going to need a subframe as well. The issue comes if the subframe has been punched back into its' mounting points and damaged them as repairing that damage is going to turn into an awful lot of work and may be more than is worth putting into it. I'd really want to get it up in the air and have a good look underneath. If the chassis rails where the subframe mounts are all wrinkled and chewed up then it's probably really only a parts car. It certainly took a serious trip into the scenery so there is a very good chance there is going to be a lot more undercarriage damage than can be identified with it sitting on its' wheels. If it's all good underneath then it's probably well worth picking up as, with that tiny mileage, there is plenty of room to make a decent tickly on it, even with a Cat N or S on it...
The Ford front end was from a late 2000s Ford (Focus) C-Max. For some reason they seem to be very prone to front end damage so straight front panels for them are pretty unusual...
Another thing breakers yards are very good for is if you're looking for a used vehicle. If you look around the same types of vehicle in a breakers, you're probably going to see where all the trouble spots are, which is going to give you a good heads-up on what to look for on one you're thinking about buying...
Love these kinds of videos gives people a look at the different cars and bits you can pick up from a yard top quality rob
Rob love the videos, do the odd fixing and repairing, last year I picked a 2017 Corsa E Diamond front end damaged drove fine just needed parts, lucky I had a cat b for breaking to use for parts and made good use of the breaker as the airbags were gone also. These Corsa are hard to sell if they have a category, I’ve had my one for about 6 months listed and not one call. I’ve dropped the price and it’s the cheapest in the market. I picked it up for £2250 mileage is very low 5000, if you look online you should find them around £2800 over the years I’ve had quite few of them and it’s hard to shift the ones that don’t come with extras fitted. I hope this help you with deciding
I think I've got a problem Rob, I love a good scrap yard! I bet the 66 plate Corsa smelt like an old man biscuit when you opened that door, Lol. Great Vid.
Realy interesting video, the full Ford front end was (I think) a C-Max - the early one. Will certainly give these guys a shout when I need anything. So nice that yards still let you walk around them.
Great different content Rob Hope to see the corsa getting put back together looks like a nice earner but your right yous have a lot to be getting on with GREAT VIDEO Mate
Love your videos excellent bud
Love the old school salvage yards like that where you can just walk around and pick yourself, nice little earner on late model stuff if you know what you’re looking for. :)
I like the look of that Corsa Rob, repairing hard engine damage would be an interesting new one for the channel.
Snap that corsa up quick Rob!
Great you can walk around and have a look - good to know when you are buying something there may be second hand parts already available - all the yards around here won’t let you in - miss it having a mooch - spent hours after mark 2 escort bits, loads of shells wish I had bought them all 🤣
Great video Rob -love the look round in the yard let’s have more of these videos please!
Oh how I do enjoy a scrap yard
Takes me back a few decades Rob to when I lived down South. A monthly trip to Bridges was an absolute must!!!!!!.
Oh dear! The good old days.
Plesae Rob, more of this!!
Cheers, Bob
i have always said this they are not all F*C*ED all these cars in auto salvage yards make me angry 😤 love it when guys like these save cars 🚘
( I wish I could do it myself sort salvage cars 🚘)
At 2.5K and a basic corsa ,not getting too excited ,as it does need a bit of work doing.
Ooh i do like salvage walkarounds.
Keep em coming rob.
That's got to be the most organised breakers yard I've seen. Next time I need something for my Focus, I'll give them a shout!
My local wreckers yard here in South Australia is called U-Pull-It. Always cheap; $70 for a bonnet, $50 for doors, $70 for tailgates etc. We don't have to wear high-vis but they didn't allow me in one day as I was wearing thongs (flip flops) and they deemed that a tad unsafe. I agreed and popped home to find my steel caps.
I could walk around scrap yards all day long , my father used to take me to yards when I was about 5 years old the memories are very special
Thanks rob ...
Brings back some memories of years ago going round scrap yards going in for the bits you want and coming out with a pocket full of blubs and fuses and little switches. There isn’t any around where I live in west Berkshire
Great video I would buy Corsa 👍
Good video I could spend hours walking round there,that's what all scrap yards should be like..to borrow your phrase "let's get involved"..
Great vid rob if I was to pop down to Kent scrap yard and cut out a rear inner arch would I be able to by it as there no breaks in Basildon Essex like that yard I would love that to be my local yard
Great treat for a Friday! Thanks these would be great as occasional specials. That Corsa would make great content!
Corsa looks good and definitely interesting content
Brilliant video, I used to love going round the salvage yards when I was fixing up a cheap car.. It's like a bit of therapy too 👍👍
