CLS500 crash repair

I know nothing about crash repair but I've been quite impressed by some of the damage this guy has been able to repair.

Seems to know what he's doing...however, would you want a car that had been repaired in that way? I wouldn't!

CLSmark posted another video from this guy a while ago, yes he has excellent skills and is clearly talented.

BUT... most of those cars should never be put back on the road, and it’s unfair that some people will purchase these cars without knowing their past.

Not sure I'd want it either after that. Scary thing is how many cars are taken to people like this to be repaired and brought back into this country...

His metal work skill is awesome if you watch slot of his videos, however , alot of his front end repairs involve pulling squashed chassis legs rather than replacing. Also he does not use any laser alignment machine just a laser spirit level and tape measure!

He is outstanding though when hand beating non stresses panels back into shape.

That didn't look too bad compared to some of the repairs that guy has done. Some of those were classic cut and shut - back end of one merc ahead of the rear c pillar welded onto the front of another, or chassis rails heated red hot to straighten them. I've watched loads of this guy's videos and while there is excellent craft I can't accept many of them as being an acceptable repair. However the jigging/straightening of parts of the chassis is pretty standard stuff.

Was that hideous pink a wrap, or paint?
Thought is was a wrap, then noticed areas at end of video which looked like filler/primer on the ‘pink’ panels.

Wonder if it really looked as straight once it’s painted.
