When ‪@MatArmstrongbmx‬ walks through your door and asks you to repair something that cannot be simply bought. As most of you will know this came off ‪@fxalexg__‬ $6,000,000 Bugatti Chiron that he CRASHED! We have to make sure this is done right and take extra measures to make sure this will be as close to original as possible.

And thank you to our good friend ‪@Beaplumber‬ for being our voice of reason

Just came to show bob some appreciation. Mat is a lucky guy to have your help!

Without Bob, the British Car restoration video industry would collapse.

Bob, you saved a multi-million dollar project. You're a professional and a hero.

Bob's a fackin' metallurgical genius. Welding witchcraft and sorcery here at its best.

Proud to have the same Parkside calliper as Bob

As a mechanical engineer this guy clearly knows what he is doing, when I saw this video my first reaction was well they are just gonna weld it and hope it holds. But this man clearly knows his stuff and the part is certainly on par with what originaly came out of that bugatti. This sort of repair for me is certainly an art form. Hats off to you

Petition for MAT to gift bob a car the amount of projects he is saving for mat its getting insane

The legend himself.
Matt needs to add a link to this video on his latest video. Bob deserves it.

I took a welding class in college and its quite a science. People simply have no idea how many different disciplines are included with marrying two pieces of metal together.

@DrBenIngle 6 months ago

When you smiled knowing you can weld it 😊

I swear Bob can weld wood to glass

@nextdoorent.025 6 months ago

They said it couldn't be repaired because they're looking at a parts catalog; Bob is looking at the metal itself. The precision required to reverse-engineer and machine a critical structural component like that engine bracket is next-level. This is the definition of 'skill over gatekeeping.' Absolute masterclass in machining!

Must say, Production quality 110% and the voices of the commenters had me rolling. Well done gents!

this guy is a legend, he knows what he was doing, and he knows metallurgy

Bob, I am a quality engineer of 33 years, and your accuracy is just amazing, and you are a true professional. Yes, the part was made to break, and the energy has to be displaced in situations such as this. Remember that for every action, there is a reaction, so the choice of metal and energy displacement is very good. Excellent job, Bob.
