no mention of replaceing dash or steering wheel air bags replaceing seat belt tensioners or resetting crash sensor its far more complicated than bashing bodywork with a big hammer

Indeed - I couldn't tell on that car whether it had "bagged off" - it may have been hit whilst stationary for all we know.

I shared the video simply as a matter of interest as to what can be achieved when labour rates are relatively lower compared to the cost of parts. I wouldn't advocate anyone looking on e-bay for a damaged car on the basis of it...

If you look at his other videos he had rebuilt cars that I think would have been a CAT B in the UK.

I've watched many of Arthur's videos. He is an incredible craftsman. 👍

Arthur can take a crumpled twisted pile of metal and turn it into anything.
