Damn, that’s crazy dangerous! Crash repaired car where they simply put a resistor across the airbag cable instead of fitting new airbags

Have you seen the Focus RS on Salvege Rebuilds?!

That's very common, I've seen the same with the auto airbag devices for approved baby seats being permanently fitted as cunts can't be bothered to turn a key in the glovebox.

Dave!

Nope, is that a YouTube thing or telly?

This one

I’ve been watching that, pretty horrendous bodge job!

Watching it I was thinking surely that just needs to be broken for parts.

That is rough as anything, and dangerous as it was. Although it does also look like they can cut that front corner out, replace it and get it all straight and solid again.

Having said that, if they need new headlights too at £1400, it might be worth more as parts

My brother in law has a cat n Kia sportage, but he bought it damaged and repaired it himself. One thing he made sure of was to put all new airbags in it where they had gone off
