Please provide us with the cost breakdown from the capex to the restoration cost and approximate resale value. The painter will not leave long f he continues in his trade without protecting his lungs. He ought to mask up.

How much was the salvage car? Cost of the parts replaced, repair costs...Total (salvage car purchase+parts+Repair costs)???? How does this compare with a similar fully functional car in the market? These info would make your videos more valuable and informative... for now it's just entertaining to see the transformation... and stories and a lot of English 🤔

You check the damage done to the car at the bonnet. After evaluation that's when you know if the engine has been damaged. If it has you put that into consideration. If it has no damage and it can start... Then that's a good sign.
Where do you get your parts from Jojo?

The cost of the car was 420K. The cost of repair was around 250K
Great restoration, but when building a car always check the dimensions online, especially Mercedes, you can quickly tell the body guys don't know that the side lines are usually sharp, not curve from the front to end. This helps with aerodynamics, From front door to back, the sides usually have a sharp line that goes all the way to the back, most cars you've rebuilt don't get that line back. It's good to consider since is a physics thing not decorative, could be affecting speed, cornering or even breaking in some instances...
