That was awesome!! Where is that shop when it's time to restore a musclecar?
I don't know what to say. I honestly don't think the car will still drive the same IMO. The guy didn't even wear eye protection when doing the welding.

Damn he works fast!

...I have some concerns Jack I'd like to inquire about. Doubt his employees quit...they die, buried in the rear yard, and up pops another employee! Same grin, same haircut...chilling.
was the car worth all that to fix?
For sale on craigslist. New paint. Low miles

It was an interesting video. The reality is, if that was an insurance job, it would have been totaled. What was that car, a Nissan Sentra?
If so, an inexpensive car. A very late model high end car would most likely total with that extensive damage. I liked the guy welding with
no hood. I wonder if his welds stay together.

Looked like it was done in Japan. Probably done up to be exported to another country as a used vehicle.
Parts are cheaper in Japan for those cars.....and readily available.

Not only the parts but the child labor...
Guy in town bought K-cars that were smashed at either end. Cut the bad end put good end on. Had it down pat. Made good money, has a $375K

Nissan has a big plant in Thailand too, so parts would be available there as well.

When labor rates are cheap...and OSHA standards are relaxed, it makes economic sense to fix it.
If a K car is cut up like this, does it still qualify as a K car...or a Ka,Ka, K car?Guy in town bought K-cars that were smashed at either end. Cut the bad end put good end on. Had it down pat. Made good money, has a $375K
