Just wanted to share this.  I love watching the skill and how wrecked cars are repaired.  Not sure whether the car should be repaired and whether they are ever as strong as it was before they were wrecked but amazing to watch the skill involved nevertheless

He's got a channel on YouTube I think.

None of his repairs would be economical in the UK,all would be written off and scrapped

Indeed, subscribed to him for a few years now. Nice to see what my job was from time to time... 😁
Still do a lot, but rarely on the same car. 😅

Definitely a skill, but as said above  certainly not economical and dubious on safety grounds I would say... they prob have no concept of the old CAT A to D's we had / have... a great skill to be able to do though

Totally agree, not sure I'd want a car that badly damaged but if I had a minor accident, would love to be able to do that.

Proper old school skill of hand, hours and hours of moving metal.
