    I wouldn't want to accept a lift to the shops in this, but doubtless some mug will have been conned into buying it. :rolleyeses:
    Yes, it's in Eastern Europe, but still. :cautious:

    I admire his positive attitude! But seriously, some ball park measurements and a ramp to pull the bodywork?! I think that will be exhibiting some odd tyre wear for the rest of its life.

    Eastern European 'Cut and Shut'. Some poor, unsuspecting Ebay buyer will think that he's found a bargain. :rolleyes:

    Gotta admire the ingenuity but it's scary. Plenty of it going on in the UK as well I shouldn't wonder.

    He's done quite a few of these, extraordinary what he can do but not a chance I would buy one.

    Not today, tomorrow or any other day. The structural integrity is simply no longer there post a big ding. Skilled people but I wouldn't get in one.

    Had to stop watching this, although he is very skilled their is a reason that I buy all of my cars from main dealers imagine woken by the Police one morning to tell you that a family member had died through to you saving a few quid on a back street garage cheap fix!

    A skilful guy and a mesmerising watch. But like the rest of you, I wouldn't. Repaint the back quarter and I might. Joking !

    My old car was pushed up roughly by 5mm at the front - wing/door shuts perfect at the bottom, but both touching the doors at the top. And was declared a Cat S.
    Daughters BF who is in the bodywork trade said it would be easily pull down with chains. Seems he was probably right. Easy repair by comparison. :wobble:
