I'd love to clean that van aha I work for Birmingham van Centre vanology as the head valeter I see my fair share of diry Van's aha and that's gotta be one of the worst I've seen if u need and advice how to clean that that back to its former glory let me know
HI Rob and Chris, Just wanted to say a big thank you to you both for all the entertainment you provide to us petrol heads. , particularity during these horrible winter months when our own projects stall a bit.. . I love your 'warts and all' attitude, as your not afraid to show when things don't go so well. Just used car vertical to buy my son his first car and very pleased with that service, great for peace of mind, , well recommended. :) I've been watching for a long time but never commented before , so thought it was about time. Keep up the fantastic work guys and wishing you and your families a fantastic Christmas break, (If you can tear yourself away form the garage for a few days that is... ) Top men. Well done.
The back of that van reminds me of when we had a fleet of VW Caddy vans on the road doing IT maintenance work. One lad barrel rolled a van on a country lane. He had several large printers in the back, ink, toner and wax exploded in the back of the van. Lucky the van was a write-off so he didn’t have to clean it out. 😜🤪
It makes makes Good business sense to buy that Van irrespective of the state of it... like you said Rob and Chris getting the foot in the door.... not sure how the company would allow a van to get in such a state on the first place. I am sure some pledge and a yellow duster will clean that up in no time all. The Magic white sponges u can buy will remove all the ingrained stuff. Great once Again.
The long game, congratulations Rob. Vans are for work anyway so it's about the mechanicals. Keep up the great work guys and keep the van content coming.
When you opened the back door on that van I burst out laughing but as usual guys I know you will bring it round and it will be good fun to see it come up shining. Cheers guys.
I can't believe the same company keeps all its other vehicles immaculate, lol! Had to laugh when you called it the dirtiest van in the world. Spot on. I'm sure you'll get it looking [fairly] mint!
New boards in the back including top to bottom on rear doors. Pull crew seats out & clean them Rob style. Then it's a tanker full of G101 & marigolds for you two 😂😂.... Nice buy.
You think guys that drive it & others that spend time in it would a little respect for the van even if owned by a company. Can’t wait to see it clean again 👍🏻
Wow the engine was the cleanest part of the van I’m glad you put a cover over the chair to drive it that’s a very dirty van can’t wait for the clean up video it’s going to be amazing
David bellamy would be in his eye holes with this one if he were still alive. I remember the comedy sketches with lenny henry acting as david bellamy squashing the soil between his hands and enjoying it lol.
Wow this is what l call a surprise video , this looks like an road tar Van carrying supplies & crew , but l will watch you chris & rob putting some elbow grease into it to make it lovely jubbly again 😀
That was a genius idea putting that plastic sheet over the driver's seat. You don't want to dirty it any more than it was 😂😂😂. Great job in video 2 which I watched first, then realised their was a part 1, thank you RU-vid
I'll never understand people that disrespect another persons property. I know you said they are contractors and you will probably have different people using the van every week (maybe even every day), but that's no excuse for not cleaning up after yourself. As my mother always said "leave it the way you find it". A lot of hard work ahead with this one lads. 👍
Speculate to accumulate and it’s a winner even if it’s cosmetically rough if you can get 2 days wages each out of it. The man from Salvage Rebuilds he say yes!
Boys the back of that van is clean compared to the old Transit I run scrap in with 🤣, it will clean up with a lot of hard work and chemicals , good luck 👍
What a result the amount of tarmac you have you can do the drive to the yard. 😂 I remember you saying about this firm and the fussy bloke. Looks like he’s getting kicked into touch. The firm don’t want to be stuck with motors they want to make a call and you turn up and it’s gone then the firm can move on. Sounds like the bloke just kissed good bye to the goose that’s been laying him golden eggs. 👍🤞
Excellent. Good strategy as well in terms of securing a supply chain of vehicles. It may be a bit rough with some light cosmetics, although you will be able to sort out all of the issues as always. I am delighted for you. Well done. Thank you for sharing.
I've driven a lot of work vans over the years, but none of em were that filthy inside. However, like you said it's got your foot in the door for maybe getting some good stock in future
Cheers guys just sat down for my break at work and now have something good to watch.Great content as always very much appreciated.Matt in freezing Aberdeen
Is there enough 101 in the country 😀 Good business move. Take the rough with the smooth, and hope you get a bit more of the latter. Would re-lining the back be out of the question?
When I read the thumb nail saying dirtiest van in world I thought can’t be as bad as the last crew can you had but I eat my words that is minging 😂😂😂you Will both do your magic on it and sure of it I am confident that will be spotless once you finished 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽well done getting your foot in the door am sure they will phone you again
was also a contractor and my trany was never ever that mistreated if I had sure I would have been fired, I even slept in the van sometimes when could find no BandB so it was clean inside and out. look forward to the big clean and the swan is underneath
I think you need to find a large washing machine and put it on deep clean HA, ha you and Chris will work your magic and sort this out .love the content as always.
seriously cant wait to see u both work ur magic on this, rip out the backand a huge jet wash will sort it lol... but seriously thats some disrespect to the van, no matter if u own it or not if ur boss gives ua vanu treat it like ur own car... but atleast its given u guys a challenge and ur viewers good content to watch good luck guys lol 😆
Was that roofer or asphalt work group van, it seems like it has asphalt stains everywhere? Lamp oil might dilute asphalt but it stinks long (unless you can wash the lamp oil residues away).
It looks like a Tarmac crews van. if it is Tarmac inside the back doors brush Solvent or Diesel on it for a day or so to soften it and then Steam clean . Try small area you'll be surprised especially with the use of Diesel.
The worst I ever saw here in the states is an Ford F350 I bought as a parts truck from a coal mine. There was literally four inches of mud on the floor, and the frame was cracked in two places.
Rob, good business sense to see it as maybe 'a loss leader' to open up possible future opportunities. Saying that I'm sure you and Chris can work your cleaning expertise on the van and squeeze some sort of profit from it.
