Let's all appreciate what a humble bloke Chris is. There's folk on channels giving bit the big spuds while he, and Rob in many other ways, have forgotten more than they'll ever know. They always say it...Just 2 blokes filming what they do in real life. 👍

@lucythemoggy1970 10 месяцев назад

It was therapy watching Chris work that panel back into shape to receive the new section 😊

@leesmith6750 10 месяцев назад

To think a few years ago, Chris would even talk on camera. Channel has come on leaps and bounds. By far, the best rebuild channel. You guys work so well together.

@frankythehousecat2681 9 месяцев назад

Maybe Britclips (hit clips) used for clipping cables to metal girders would work as temporary panel fixings before welding & be reused a few times more available in many different fixing thickness & easily available from electrical wholesalers !

So, Chris is also very articulate to go with his pleasantness! Why don't you sleeve your panel joints like others do? He could have just said, because I'm good at my job. More of these educational snippets please, about the industry and how it's changing.

@johnpritchard2772 10 месяцев назад

Hello both, the skills along with the bodybuilding knowledge that Chris has is amazing! Chris has a very quite nature, never bragging and always has time to simply explain the proceedure(s) that he is going to use for various repairs.. Rob is always there to give a hand, apart from searching and ordering the various parts! What a wonderful "parnership" you have - apart from being true / real friends!! Best wishes from Lincolnshire!

@davesclassicgaragetours 10 месяцев назад

Another great one lads. I heard Jason Plato talking about a washing machine repair man visiting his place and him taking enthusiastically about this and that about repairing washing machines and how Jason was transfixed for 40m without a thing to say …all because the bloke loved what he did and was able to articulate it so well. A bit like Chris and arches on commercial vans. I never knew I could watch content like that but watch I do because it’s great watching. BTW lads, when you’ve got something small to show us and you want the camera to focus on it, either put your palm up behind it to fill the backdrop or bring it to your chest so it becomes the main focus rather than the background.

@richardjones5255 10 месяцев назад

Chris works magic as usual and the van job benefits. Modern MIG welding allows but joins in nonstructural panels that would not have been possible some years ago. I remember the issue of cut and shut jobs, badly brazed together on the basis of where the weld landed all was good and where it did not, cover it with underseal or fiber-glass . Back then it often was rife, and the results were bad.

@trainmanbob 10 месяцев назад

Of all the videos you have done, this is one of the best so far. We get to really understand how Chris and Rob work together. Chris explains his thoughts and ideas on how he does a particular job and shows just why buying a vehicle from these two guys is one of the best things you will ever do. A very long way from the earlier videos where Chris hated being in front of the camera. Well done guys. Cheers, Bob

Chris is an endangered species . The Man that takes pride in his work knowing it has to be inch perfect , done to a standard he would accept . Only then is he happy to let it go and put it out for the world to view . Men that take this level of pride in their work are a very very rare breed . Mostly nowadays guys work to the hourly profit time is money . None or little pride quick one two ka ching next victim style work ethic .

@paulhutchins6019 10 месяцев назад

Hi Guys. Another method used to be overlay the new panel, clamped in position. Then cut the excess off and the existing bodywork in one cut. You then have have a perfectly matched joint to weld. 👍🏼

Hi Guys ! Chris . You're spot on with modern repair methodology some quarter panel replacements prevent any welding and glues and rivets are only allowed . Love your work Chris , reminds me of me ! I would probably have given the sliding door a couple of hours to see if it could repair . Thanks both

@ajcomer3959 10 месяцев назад

I agree aboutthe insert being a watertrap,but why not despot the new panel from behind then you can spotweld as factory the cut section rather than mig plugging?

@ifell3 10 месяцев назад

You guys are awesome. Stuff that glue method. Why didn't you shorten the replacement panel rather than cutting back the original?

@hydorah 10 месяцев назад

One thing about backing plates behind joins in addition to being a place for moisture to sit between layers of steel, you can create very strong areas, where you're not supposed to - a chassis leg for example, that could be the difference between the car folding up and the occupants walking away, or the car transmitting the impact and the occupants folding up and being badly hurt or dead. OK to have glued backing plates in the safety cage, as Chris says but not welded in general repairs all over the car. It's actually a hidden danger. That Chris is a bloody marvel!

@hilux4996 10 месяцев назад

Absolutely nothing wrong with the way Chris cuts the panel, but the way I normally do it is to clamp in place as normal, then using the thinnest possible cutting disc, I slice through 'Both' panels. The gap left is just nice for welding, and works well if, like me, somebody is not quite as accurate as Chris is with the angle grinder. Many thanks for this great channel. Tony.
