    There are far too many negative and incorrect opinions by the misinformed who think salvage is bad. You have and continue to do a fantastic job signposting this with factual and detailed content. By showcasing the correct and insurance company/OEM standards to repair damage, it will hopefully educate those in doubt. Great work Gents, love the content and the builds👍

    Whilst I had heard of jigging and pulling for accident damged cars I I didn't know what it involved until I watched your videos - really interesting and informative - appreciate the detail you go into when you are doing the repairs. Looking forward to the rest of the rebuild on the A1.

It will be a lot of work but it will be good when done. Thanks again Rob and Chris it is really interesting watching this sort of thing.

    I would suggest to those who don’t think you are doing the correct thing go watch Arthur’s Chanel and watch what he fixes
    Some of them I suggest should have gone to the wreckers but he fixes them just like new 👍👍

    A very good repair. With the measuring system. I knew a man who jigged cars with the cellete system like yours. But he would only use the bracket set for the car pick up points. He did not rate the measuring system. He used to say when it's on the brackets it is a hundred percent right. He was a sheet metal worker by trade and the best welder metalworker and car bodywork repairs I have ever seen. He was doing this kind of work in the 1980,s nothing has changed. A car is still the same repair now as it was then. Keep up the good work enjoy your stuff bit of everything. Thanks mark south Wales.
