Hi welcome The day has finally come to pick up the car i have been wanting to get for a long time the best colour as well Thanks for watching Resurwreck autos uk
Mark, the inner skin is creased around the wheel arch too, so when they jig the outside skin, there will be the need for some additional bodywork for the wheel arch too. When you were pointing out the damage to the inner skin, I was sure you were going to mention the other creases too. I know you'll ensure that a full and proper job is done on the quarter area, both inside and out, 'cos I've watched your approach toward a high quality level of work and I can see that it is how you plan and execute your rebuilds. Good luck with this one mate.
Well done for getting an ST, a brilliant milestone on your channel. Body colour is Deep Impact Blue, wheels do need refurbishment as this is an enthusiasts car so deserves to be as good as you can get it. A full service and cambelt won't go amiss and gives the new owner peace of mind plus makes it far more sellable at a decent price. Best of luck with this new project, looking forward to seeing the rebuild
If you want to borrow an old Brillo pad to get the next lot of sap off I have one Mark. Might be kinder than the trim removal tool..🤪 nice little motor. Good luck
Great Video, really looking forward to this car being repaired, own one in this colour myself (bit cleaner). Its a PCV Oil Catch Can that you were talking about, well worth investing in, designed to collect oil and moisture passing through the vacuum system, minimising the build up of carbon on the back of the inlet valves, which is a common issue for GDi engines, although yours has done 74k so maybe a bit late, probably needs a good carbon clean, walnut blast etc. It's also very normal for these GDi engines to sound a bit tappety....seized rear brakes is probably the caliper sliding pins, common issue on these.....👍
Nice motor dosnt look too bent . Keep it standard lol. Brake is probably seized with standing should free off easy enough . Back in the 80s I bought a damaged repairable Mk11 Astra from Bessacarr Autos Doncaster . It seemed like a long day going to fetch it but your journey is twice as far lol . Great motor for the channel your subs should go up a bit with this one Mark.
Glad you're putting it somewhere to get that rear quarter sorted. If anyone can clean that interior to a high standard it's you! 😂😁 ESC off is turning off the electronic stability control....not a great idea as it saves people whose imagined driving ability far exceeds their actual ability. Just keep it standard Mark, it's fast enough as it is. Probably very tappity cos it needs an oil change, you worry too much and see problems where there probably are none. Don't think it was smoky, just condensation from the damp and it probably had a lot of moisture in the exhaust from standing and not running for a while, relax! 🙂
it's very nice project I have a black one 2016 model with 19,000 miles the drivers seat doesent reclyne I'm not sure why it's suddenly stuck maybe the cables inside or it's simply unclipped at the bottom I think you will have to disconnect the battery and leave for 2 hours before removing the 2 front seats to let the gas settle then undo the two electric cables under each seat one for heated seat and one for air bags.
Cracking little car Mark, lovely colour. Hope there’s no hidden problems, take your time getting it all right. Should be a good profit for you. Looking forward to the future videos.
It looks like it'll be another really good one, when it's all done. I hope it pulls out as nicely for you, as you'd like it to. Without to many, if any, problems with the off side wing / fenders fold like crease! panel! Shane. :-)
M8 no need to scrap the tree wax (tree resin) off just boil the kettle old cloth and put the hot wet cloth on top tree wax let it soak then it will just wipe off 😁your new nickname is mr treewax lol nice motor
Looks a nice car mark. I know you had to travel a long way to get it but it will be worth it when it's finished. Stay safe mark and see you on the next one.
Hi mark. If that conifer tree sap has marked the paint you should be able to flat it out with 2000 and mop it up. Same as bird stains as long as they aren’t too deep they come up ok
Lucky to get the bumper in the right colour , the only problem with STs there always thrashed by boy Racers. Last owner fire didn’t care for it , the state of the inside
I can't be sure but to me it looks like the bonnet and bumper aren't sitting right - Drivers side looks good and passengers side looks to be higher and a slightly larger gap at 3:43 is when I 1st noticed it and at 12:48 is the gap I noticed
No need to change the exhaust tailpipes. Give them a clean up with Solvol Autosol chrome cleaner. If the grime is really bad try getting the worst of it off with a Brillo pad first then use the chrome cleaner after that
Nice to see you getting a sporty wee number on the channel. Don’t worry about the boy racer aspect there dumbed down to safe levels at factory that’s why with a simple remap you can get about 30bhp from it safely. I don’t understand the waffle comments if they don’t like it they can move on I personally like the videos keep up the good work it will now be hard to go back to a 1.2 fiesta 😂
I’d take the carpet out give it a good soak with tfr. Then pressure wash it and wet vac dry. In my experience when they are that dirty if you just try to wet vac it will just keep dragging out all the filth and not clean it properly
It would be interesting to see how much you get these cars for and how much it takes to get them back to being road worthy again like salvage rebuilds do and to hear what you are selling them for aswell
Hi Great content on you tube! Quick question if you can help? What do the letters on the end of the co part lot number denote? I know the x is insurance but not sure of others? Thanks
I would fit new cam belt that taping sounds like water pump I would change if you ask good price for this car which you should the type of car it is new owner needs to know the engine is not going to pack up if u have no proof of belt change change it new engine would cost well over a thousand pounds mate looks a nice car well done again Phil in stoke
I don’t get the whole hiding the plate anyway it’s on public display when out on the road showing plates worked well on serious about salvage Phil got the history and a few bits given to him by his focus st’s previous owner
The reg for the corsa has already been seen twice it just shows mistrust in a way and some people like playing internet detective I guess which to me seems harmless I presume there not taxed so no point anyone trying to clone the plate to appear legit in a stolen car
@@shanebrown6667 Hi Shane it’s not all good people watching RU-vid plates can be bought and used by criminals on another car just thinking ahead better to be safe then sorry later 🤷
Thanks for your response, I’m looking for a good guy , I have a c max that needs work on it , I’m in Basildon, I’m the one that messaged you on eBay a few months ago lol
Dadio Mofo granted the interior isn’t the tidiest and there isn’t many not seen the wrong side of a hedge at some point wether recorded or not I have had old school and modern day performance fords they can take a beating and keep running sweet but they do need regular servicing and I tend to stay away from ones with cheap tyres as that to ke is a sign of been ran on a minimum budget no history and been cat s will make it a harder sell but it will sell
I would not do the stage 1 don't think you will get your money back , it may hit your resale as it would have to be declared to get insurance on it for the buyer
you would have passed my house a couple of times between doncaster and sandtoft shame on you not popping in theres a tram museum at santoft if your early next time as a fun fact where you were was once part of raf santoft during ww2 and was then a missile base now its copart and a roof tile factory
@@davidbeddoes4275 i would imagine he was m18 to m 180 but maybe 614 back to donc as for me i go bawtry to mission past rocket site then up idle bank but its easy to get lost out there if your not local i can go 614 myself but find it much more busy used to be a regular up at santoft auctions and as a contract engineer a reg visitor to weinerberger but yes its a legendary road
Hi guys, anyone know what the letters after the lot number on the stickers mean? I've seen some with C, which is customer, but I have bought a car and it has that letter P, just curious as to what it means
@@ResurwreckAutosUK found some more info, C = customer X = insurance , P = private? The car I bought has the assessor marks where the damage is. I think C Is the one that should be avoided
Salvage rebuild, Rob/ Christ will repair that penal in No time, They seem to be expert on these major jobs, Anyways how much did it cost u to purchase the st if you dont mind asking mate
Same comments all the time don't like it don't watch it simple instead of knocking him we all waffle on times an if you don't your full of sh*t not many people could of got as far as he has already funny thing is the people who judge doesn't even do RU-vid you try talking to a camera with no one talking back I imagine its hard an I know I couldn't do it
@@darrendavies408 Thanks Darren it’s nice to know some people understand what it takes to do what we do it’s not easy doing both the cars and RU-vid nice one buddy appreciate it stay safe 👍👍
