Chris, you hit the nail on the head - the average car buyer does not know what to look for on a used car. You have both done the buying public a massive favour by getting hold of this one and making it usable and making it safe.
Don't an engineer have to sign off on writ off repaired cars in the UK?
@@bastogne315 just an MOT very basic safety tests.
@@bastogne315 they use to just do a VIC check which was basic aswell for cat c now known as cat s
@@billionone4100 vic check was mearly a vehicle inspection check to make sure vehicle wasn't cloned not to check repairs
We live in a time where people actually click and collect cars ! Insane . No one looks at them properly anymore
I'm birmingham born and bread, the moment he said alum rock I knew he was going to end up with something held together with chewing gum
Absolutely, mate. I wouldn't drive through there these days, let alone buy a car from the area.
"rather repair one that's smashed" quality statement....an honest smash is a 100 times better than bodged mess....so so true.
Nigel Mansell would be proud of them slick tyres 🤣
Absolutely love this format gents - Buy a lemon repair and then do the job properly. Not only are you preventing a unsuspecting punter purchasing it but you’re also highlighting a issue within the motor trade that needs more regulation.
I really enjoy the content of your videos, but your working relation is what makes them so enjoyable.
Keep up the great work!!
The dangerous fools who ‘repaired’ this vehicle need to be reported to the authorities.
That area alum rock is full off chop shops mate. Dodgy car dealers the lot round them sides..
The bogde jobs I've seen over there is crazy..
Also Chester Rd , round the corner from me.
Great upload.
Alum Rock and Accident Damaged Car... 'Run Forest!'
"Put 'em in the skip and move on in life!" - Chris had me in stiches on this one guys
Yeah, that had me chucking too 😂😂
Hilarious LMAO
Every Brummie knows DO NOT BUY A CAR FROM ALUM ROCK/WASHWOOD HEATH. There is always a bodge and if you take it back they suddenly can't speak English.. My granddaughter took her car to that area and was told it needed a new clutch luckily she rang me and I stopped her getting it repaired as it was an automatic! After a week she had a fine for driving in the clean air zone whilst the car was in for repair, the garage denied driving the car!
"Men of no description"
“Stevie Wonder painted it.” 🤣
Ahh the Bradford / Birmingham boys at it as usual
Maybe it will look better if you put a bit of Coving around it Rob.
🤣🤣🤣
Chris asking why Rob was laughing was pure gold. Set the walk around up perfectly 😂😂😂
Rob 100% avoid Birmingham for buying any think mate...
Who FARTED at 19:13 ??? lol
No one we’re not animals
This is why I wouldn't advise anyone to buy a car from Birmingham. I've had some horrific experiences
Stevie Wonder painted it! Helped by his mate Ray Charles. Seriously though, the "repairs" have been done by blokes wearing stetsons and spurs.
What do you expect from Brum. The repairer obviously learned his trade in Lahore or Lagos.
Still love your videos and your great expertise. This new format is interesting and much better than a lot of timelapse. I think that there should be a recertificating test after a car has been written off for this very reason. Keep up the good work guys.👌
i've always had one rule in my life never ever buy a car from birmingham
I think you guys are the only people I would ever consider buying a salvage repair car from.
I wouldn't expect anything better from a Birmingham based crash repairer.
Can't believe people still repair cars like that, I've been working in the industry for 40 + years and thought these days had gone, and totally agree cat s should only be done by professional people, fair play to you for getting it back together properly, love the live video
“Put them in the skip and move on in life” Chris 2021
I think when u found all them wood screws it confirmed you’ve bought a shed 😉
Last time I went Birmingham I lost a moped and 400 quid , least you spotted this crap and got money off. Good luck rob this is why us normal folk can’t trust most repairs sadly.
Soon as Rob said B8 Saltley Alum rock steer clear
As soon as he said B8, I felt bad for Rob!!
I was laughing when I saw you driving up alum rock, I was thinking no dont do it turn around and run for the hills.I work in that area, I see cars daily on the road that are in use with copart lot number still on the front window screen.🤔
😂
Just been on the phone to Stevie Wonder. He's speaking to his lawyer as he reckons he'd have done a better job than what was done on that Fiesta. A full retraction may appease.
Was told many many years ago never buy a car from Birmingham and now i can see why . Good thing its now in the hands of the pro's to be done properly .
Rob im from brum and i promise u mate that's a standard thing in alum rock half the cars round there are repaired like that and if im totally honest ive actually seen worse in alum rock mate what a dive
Having seen someone actually say that on a BMW X3 the damage to the wheel arch/sill wouldn't be visible because the wheel arch liner would hide and thus didn't need repairing I was horrified. What you have found is the tip of the iceberg, please keep these coming, hopefully the buying public can be made more aware of what's out there.
Birmingham Alum Rock says all 😂😂😂
As soon as ou gave the post code I knew what was coming
Exactly what I thought
Ok guys who Farted at 19.15 approx on the video lol or was it the missing horn lol . Rob is suddenly very amused for rest of the video lol .
Format was great lads. But who farted at 19.15 🤣 👍👍 another great project
You mentioned alum rock,I wldnt expect anything other.from that zone.junkers on all corners around there.
When he said alum rock I knew you were in trouble 🤣🤣🤣
The guy who’s coving fell off the roof followed you down the slip road onto the M6 and wants to do a trade for a wheelbarrow full of Fiesta bits which fell off your car for his coving back!!!
Brilliant content guys…. 👍
In Australia, they have two categorys of write off, repairable write off and statutory write-offs. Statutory write offs are deemed unsafe to be repaired like Cat Bs and can only be broken up for parts. Repairable write-offs can only go back on the road with an approved structural inspection (usually at select government approved body shops or by government inspectors) where photographs of the repair process must be presented as well as receipts for the parts used (to limit the use of ringers/stolen parts). It makes the repair process considerably slower and more expensive but it keeps the repaired vehicles safe. It makes it a fair industry where you can still repair vehicles even if you don't have the formal qualifications provided the repairs are done properly.
They could adopt a similar system in the UK, perhaps loosing their Cat status when repaired properly to give incentives to the repairer to repair the vehicle to a high standard.
Was this from Birmingham! Could have come from Bradford with those repair skills. 🤠
I'm 60 yrs of age now, body repair has been my living for 44 of those yrs I love it.. My 1 rule is never follow someone else's shonky work!! If you do charge double!! It's like taking on a single mother, there's always a shit load behind the cracks that are on the surface...

You are not wrong about the damaged goods, Fella.
This is exactly why I support and share this channel in anyway I can. You two are so honest with your work and I have seen countless cars like this over the years and something needs sorting out with the laws. Anybody that doesn't know cars like we do in the industry would have bought this. Can you imagine if they were involved in a serious accident. I really appreciate you doing this video.
Chris is correct, Cat s should only be sold to correctly authorized and trained people with the correct equipment to repair to a safe standard. The 'Repair' to that car is just butchery and it's not good enough when people's lives are at stake riding around in a car like this.
I don't agree, there are thousands of amateur engineers with loads of experience who buy damaged vehicles to repair for themselves or others, if they are bought cheap the sale price should be reflected. The problem is if you don't research and view properly you are buying blind. I have done so many times, it is a gamble. I don't know what they paid for this but my calculations build in the worst case possibility. My first calculation is the retail value on a Cat S is going to be worth 50% after repaired. The "butchery" on this car appears to be cosmetic mainly sheet metal and plastic. A front end from a rear damaged car will sort it out. A jig will sort the chassis leg(s) out too.
May be the answer is a proper post repair inspection, rather than just an MOT.
Buying a car in Alum Rock is risky at the best of times, but off the Alum Rock Road itself is madness, sorry Rob we're not all like that, this coming from someone who spent most of their lives in Birmingham, then saw sense and moved out 20 years ago.
I Used to live in Brum, and i definitely wouldn't buy a car from Anyone who lived in Alum Rock
You boys missed all the FUN! in the 60's where cardboard, masking tape filler and underseal were the only things you needed for a good repair and a £5- MOT :-) :-) :-)
Chicken wire as a base and loads of bog was common too.
What? no rivets!
Be great to get the people who bodged this up on the channel to talk us through how they did it
Packet of cable ties from 99p shop and a 3 pack of double sided tape , then it was off to halfords for a few rattle spray cans . Then some epoxy glue from the aldi . Jobs a good one .
How are people allowed to get away with shocking repairs like that ,I'm sure Chris and yourself will sort it out 👍👍👍👍
I think you are spot on. That is the worst lash-up I have seen, in a while. They haven't spent a bean on parts.
100% agree with Chris, no harm on letting DIYers repair cat Ns, but S should be licenced/regulated.
Don't know about buying a lemon think you bought the whole tree 🤣🤣🤣
I just had my fiesta repaired. they did an amazing job, seeing this video makes me appreciate approved repairers.
I'm from Birmingham, you don't buy cars in alum rock, I don't blame you though you don't want to be walking those streets, they would have your gold teeth out if you yawned around those areas.
Ain't that the truth 🤣
Some people really shouldn't be allowed to even touch a car, but he was obviously happy to let it go (putting woidscrews in charge of peoples lives).
Love the "chuck it in the skip and move on in life " 😂😂. Great video guys.
The people that tried to repair that car should be Exposed absolutely disgusting
Not only a good one to show what not to do but a good guide on what to look out for when buying a car!!! Can't believe how much someone can bodge up a job and allow it out of their door!! Even a blind diy person would have done better!! It will be great to see how it should have been done in the first place.
ALUM ROCK, Birmingham is the stolen car capital of the U.K.!
So no surprises about the state of this Fiesta!
My stolen A5 was found around them areas
@@brun_s mate it is a shit hole of an area and full of chop shops!
Police are scared to police the area due to racial tensions.
Nearly every news article relating to stolen recovered cars, car thieves and chop shops always refers to east Birmingham!
Rob, I like the format. It's great to get Chris's reactions live. His disappointment/disapproval at the repairs by 'persons unknown' proves what a perfectionist he is. The fact that you knew exactly what he was going to think shows what a great team you make. A lot of people would have said "Sh*t, what have we done?", but straight away, Chris is looking on the positive side, at how nice the car will be when you've done the job how it should have been done. You both do a fantastic job. Thank you. Keep it up. Ian.
As a bodyshop guy I’ve witnessed so many cars like this, it’s why I’ll never pay a lot of money now for even a brand new car because you don’t know where it’s been. I’ve had to repair brand new cars without the customer knowing
Alum Rock ! 😂👎🏼no way would I buy a car from there. No go zone !! 🤣
Check the instrument cluster as well probably removed some lights or covered with black tape so the fault codes aren’t visible.
This is why I would never buy a cat S. Too many bodgers on the market. Keep up the good work lads 👍
Love the format guys. You weren't lying when you said it was the worst ever!
Buying a damaged / repaired car out of Birmingham suburbs.
You need a check up from the neck up Rob!
Brother I live in Birmingham and I knew what you was getting into the minute you sed alum rock see this all the time its the traders just want a quick flip and only wanna pay pennies and thats the workmen ship you get for pennies well its in good hands now and as with the other 1 yous repaired all these parts are cheap at ford trade parts
yes when they mentioned Alum Rock I thought that..
@@garytroman5657 funny thing is when he sed he's going b44 to drop van i sed to myself I bet the next 1s b9 small heath or b8 alum rock either way they will polish this turd lol 😆
Look at the roof lining, drivers side. It's had a curtain bag fitted and they've used the original lining with all the blow creases in it 😂🤣
Bloody hell. Should find the garage and get them reported!!
The problem here is that the Government don't require it to have a new MOT...this would never have made it back onto the road had a tester seen it from 30 feet....Great content guys.
Soon as you said Alum Rock i was like oh goddd
I like this format. Thank you for getting this one off the road and repaired properly. Crazy to think someone could be tonking around in it and oblivious.
When completed, I'd love to see a timelapse of repairs from start to finish and I'm sure others might too! Keep up the good work.
Chris is fantastic "just skip it and get on with life".
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Great format guys, loved seeing the details of the awful work.
The place who done that needs to be named and shamed before they kill someone.
Frightening Chris and Rob that there’s people out there that do this kind of repair
Who ever done the repair work on this Fiesta needs to named and shamed!
The moment you mentioned b8
I thought oh no 😱🙈
If you know you .you know
First thing I noticed was the headlining behind Rob's head creased all the way along to the rear of the car, looks like airbags removed and coded out, criminal if so and probably missing from other locations as well. Great video as per usual love the format
Next episode will reveal an airbag delete alongside the hoses.
I like the format. I like your videos. The one thing that you could improve is the audio. It’s often all over the place. I don’t know what you use for editing but you should be able to equalise the audio. But great stuff! Keep up the good work.
Happy to do it for you! Or show you so you can do it.
If someone had PAID to get that bodge repair, they need reporting, it could be dangerous
The check that you do before buying, it should have said been in an accident, repaired by a carpenter 😂. Great show guys, look forward to seeing it every time , even my wife knows you two now. Best wishes from Australia
Wow absolutely unbelievable.... Wood screws are the future😂😂
Soon as I heard where your buying it from I thought 🤦🏾♂️ never buy a car from Birmingham or Leicester lads 😩
Alum Rock eh! 🤐
Or Bradford.
Never buy a car from Birmingham.. Far too many cars on Facebook marketplace like this.. gotta feel sorry for innocent people handing over their hard earned. Great video guys.
Never buy ANYTHING from Alum Rock, Sparkhill, Handsworth, Sparkbrook, Newtown, Aston, Nechels, Small Heath, Washwood Heath, Five Ways, Smethwick, Balsall Heath or Hockley 🤣
Just stay away from Birmingham
Always advise people never buy cars from Birmingham or Bradford too many cars like this
Them so called repairers deserve jail time for that , not just poor repair but structurally dangerous , fully expect you lads to sort it , great content as always 👍🏻👌🏻
5:22 Looks like the roof lining has been yanked down as well. Love the format guys, thanks for another great vid.
19.18 mins in did some drop one ? Sounds like it
One of the best eye openers ever. Bodgit and Scarpers best job so far. Can't wait for the follow-ups and to see a proper job! Format is great no matter what you guys do.
Well I have seen this sort of "repair" before coming out of Bradford....and this one is from Birmingham ....say no more !
“Put them in the skip and move on in life”
I want this on a T Shirt 😂😂😂
Never buy a car from Birmingham. I’ve been buying and driving accident repair cars for years. Live near Birmingham and always go further afield to buy. Seen some howlers in Brum.
And Bradford
I was going to post the same comment!
The thing that is worrying is that the person that rebuilt that is probably still salvaging cars.
And proud of what he has done, too.
If it’s from alum rock you can bet it’s been repaired with chop shop parts too
Live format is fantastic, can’t really see much detail with distance time lapse. Great video lads. Can’t wait for the next one, cheers.
This is your average Birmingham car
Anybody else pick up the wind break at 19:15 , 😂😂😂 great video as usual guys
You got absolutely no chance of us doing that we’re not pigs it was the bumper moving around
I've just seen the video and I just need say, I live kn Birmingham but I never trust sellers around Alum Rock as they're doggy sellers.
Bit of advice Rob, never buy salvage cars from any of these areas, Alum Rock, Spark Hill, sparkbrook, Aston, Hodge Hill, Wednesbury, West Bromwich, smethwick and Handsworth all in Birmingham.
I've tried looking for car for personal use, the people selling don't be honest at all.
Totally agree!
You missed Bradford
Yep there's so many dodgy people in those areas pumping FB marketplace full of crap using fake accounts, fake private sales etc
Manchester!!
Being a local, as soon as you said you were buying a car from B8 I was a little bit worried 😬 At least you guys can sort out the previous mess now!
No soon you said Alum Rock you should have ran to the hills.
Exactly what i was thinking 😂
Yeah and me. B8 set the alarm bells off then Alum Rock added flashing lights and a siren. Horrible place.
Have to say I agree too. Used to live on the edge of Birmingham and when ever I was looking for a new car this was one of several inner city areas I would avoid!
Someone could have bought that and their missus drive the kids round in it. Another front smash doesn’t bear thinking about. Horrific.
That has been fixed by the guy who can fix it for a really cheap price.
Totally shocking repair, but I know you guys will sort it out. Rob,Chris I really enjoyed today's format. Also I'm glad Chris got his body warmer.
Great content from you both.
