It's great to try and complete a rebuild project in a short period of time, but I've not once seen a front end damaged car, that was put back together 100% right it's first time. Here's what happens on our Mercedes AMG Rebuild when trying to finish it in just a few days.

Not sure why so many people complain when he is so real about his builds while being as helpful as possible any real mechanic certainly has a body guy and a pain guy.

@ariz.k9901 4 года назад

Love the rebuilding process and the effort on the car, one opinion though would be the black front grill would look better than the white/silver grill, obviously provided that the black grill from the old hud wasn't damaged. Also by the fact that the rims are black in color as well, it will look even better.
