At first I thought they were spraying the roof green.
Good to watch but I can’t believe it was done in 3 days.

All that work, and they still left the black greasy fingerprints on the headlining above the door.

Maybe it's 'patina' ??

Tbh I think they're quite the amateurs, if a car has this kind of damage and you dont do any chassis symmetry measurements at all....
(chassis symmetry measurements sounds really complicated but all you need is a stick :poke: )
But then again, they're youtubers, not technicians, so maybe I expect too much from guys like this. All they can do is bolt something on or off (so turning a screw).

Still good that they saved one from the scrapyard.

I originally watched this on both of their channels when they came out (B for Build being the first one) and had high hopes of a great vlog on this subject. I rapidly came to the conclusion that it was a hack job as opposed to a quality restoration rebuild, which was a real shame especially as I'm used to seeing these now on YouTube with the likes of Samcrac, Goonzquad, VTuned etc but each to their own I suppose.

When they started painting it without taking off removable stuff, its a cowboy job.
And the front bumper needs a bit of work to get it to fit better.

Absolutely.
When opening the door you'll also immediately see that its a bright red repainted car (let alone the bonnet)
They should have kept it red. A red car (or yellow or any outspoken colour) is the most difficult to do a full respray on.

And I think that that attitude to how to do things reflects in most of these guys work on their channels.
I dont know exactly how that b for build guy is (only watched a few vids ages ago), but I've read quite a bit of columns from that tavarish guy (apart from watching a few of his lambo vids) and he's just not a smart/technically talented guy. He still is in his 'lefty loosy righty tighty' phase so to speak.
