  Brilliant watch makes me more confident in getting OEM parts from eBay motors

  You know you're getting old when they all look too new!

  Any system setup to allow people to buy parts with plenty of life left in them like this has my absolute support. Great to see some light light shined on this type of operation. Let's try to keep cars on the road instead of rushing to make more!

  Imagine going to work, parking in the wrong spot and finding your car in a box by the end of your shift.<br><br>Great episode!

  My dad did that in the 80s.<br>No internet, no major shipping.<br>He bought &quot;junk&quot; vehicles, sold the windshields for $25 to a windshield company (like safelite), pull motors, tranny, radiators, etc and label every single part, tested on date, pulled date, everything.<br>Then, when it was just a junk body, he sold it to our neighbor as scrap but no vehicle got crushed until the 90s.<br><br>Thats how I got startedselling rare cars &amp; rare car parts.<br>Made nice money selling parts.<br><br>I got into building custom cars for 20+ years and am now retired.<br><br>Nice to see someone stepping up the game. 😊

  I miss the days of climbing over old cars finding parts in scrap yards, used to be an adventure :)

  I&apos;m deeply impressed by the scale of this operation and the vision that made it happen. Incredible.

  I manage an indoor salvage yard and I will watch this video for inspiration. I’ve been in the business for 15 years and still love it. I hope one day to be like Trent or better

  I think its actually really sad that this is so revolutionary and impressive. This should have been done for so long tbh. Great that there are scrapyards like this in existence. Why would you waste everything if there is still many parts functioning in it.

  This was eye opening. I didn&apos;t know scrappers were so up to date. The days of climbing inside the third car up, and using the door mirrors as steps are long gone.<br>These guys have got a really slick operation going on.

  That is a serious operation that that gentleman should expand to the rest of Europe. Well done Mr Trent.

  I have recently purchased a very rare CVT gearbox as a back-up for my Rover 45 CVT from Charles Trent, I have even more confidence that this works after this video as parts can be hit and miss. This is 100% the way forward as too much is wasted in terms of car scrappages and we need to use the vehicles we have now as opposed to jumping on the new car bandwagon. If this helps people keep their old car going for a few more years this will have succeeded! <br><br>I can&apos;t help feeling that this should have been done many years ago, think of all the classic cars that would have been potentially saved completely from the crusher!
