what catastrophic flaw has he built in?
It's literally the most well-documented repair of a written-off car that you can find :lol: probably safer than any other Cat-# car for sale in the UK.

"Got any rebuild pics?"

"No pics, just an entire series of YouTube videos documenting every single part of the repair"

I've only been watching him for a few months but he's had each car he's rebuilt thoroughly inspected by its manufacturers.

Took this one to BMW and they identified some other issues - Leaking shock, Missing sensor - He then fixed them all and documented it.

Yes and they put it through a fancy laser jig that could check the finest of tolerances.

Cars are usually only written off based on the cost of repairs, there are lots of cars around that have had a big smack early in their life and been repaired with no history or proof. If it had had the same accident a few years later when it was worth less it would be recorded as a write off.

At least with his you get a good idea of what the damage was and how it’s been fixed.
