Amazing job. But still.. call me a safety freak- but I wouldn't wanna drive my kids in a car which had to have a B-pillar and most of the floor reinforcements replaced.. I am highly skeptical that this car would have same crumple characteristics as a factory S60..

His videos are hugely entertaining and show an awful lot about the way cars deform in accidents.

Yes this car will never be the same.

Have a look at this :

I don't think I'd rely on its structural integrity any more though.
It may have saved the owner's life this time, but get hit in the same place again and the result may not be as fortunate.

You would not want to own it, but still interesting, and I wonder how many of these kind of cars are on the roads today here, they were a lot of cut and shuts at one time.

Yes, it is educational visually and not so verbally unless you know Russian.

Shows how one man's write-off is another man's treasure.

He's a really skilled panel beater, I've watched many of his videos

The russian-english is fun ;)

But yes it's scary to see how they fix the car and how it seems at the end a brand new Volvo
