Alot of negative comments here 😂Just remember... In a real life situation returning the car seems the best thing to do. But as creating content is my full time job it would make a much better story and content to rebuild this thing. The frame damage although unexpected is very minor compared to alot of projects seen on KZbin. I love to push myself and move on further with bigger builds. All safety aspects and frame damage will be done by professionals to ensure the car is safe. The rest will be left to me! Enjoy the content guys dont worry too much! you didnt buy it 😂
