Long and fairly boring video, but couldn't believe this car was salvaged - surely this isn't an economical repair?

Won't be economical no, will have been a write off and the guy has repaired it himself. If insurance over there works like here that is, too many labour hours on it. Main guess its one of his own is the second hand door.

Would have thought the roof skin would have been replaced though.

obviously no clue..


Parts in russia are really hard to get or really expensive.

That car was rolled - that's why all damage. Probably was bought in Europe and transported to Russia for repairs. Once fixed sold on.

It's not this guy's car - not the one he drives anyway. Look at the amount of videos he has uploaded.


This is the most damage repaired car i have seen from him..

its very common in easturn europe for this level of repair. time is very cheap out there and parts expensive. worked with a polish guy for a while who shiped loads of write offs back home and repaired them, sold them on for a big profit. very skilled panel beaters, sadly a skill thats becoming rare in the uk.

Stfu you bellend. Notice how I said "guess it's his own" I didn't go into other videos and work out his fucking life story

Parts may be hard to get hold of but funnily enough, things can be brought in from other countries.

You stick to buying expensive moon mile BMW's Mr Expert.

No need to be rude is there.

Everything has import tax. So even when bringing a spare door into a country - you gotta pay.

I'd rather have a moon mile BMW than a french car, but that can be left for another thread...
