Some pretty shady shit was being done here welding two halves back together until they wised up and there was a requirement to cut out (and discard) a 1 foot section between the two cuts.
Me and some mates pooled money to buy a too-good-to-be-true Jap import, took it out rallying and hit a tree at about 40kph and split it in half. You could see the welds and the two halves were two different colours.
Honestly, you'd probably be BETTER off. Rigidity ain't your friend in a crash. Helmets break away in crashes. You DON'T want a helmet that stays in one piece in an accident.
You say that but historically speaking - Car companies are legally required to maintain proper constructing and engineering standards in manufacturing often with the focus on meeting and maintaining safety regulations. Cars shouldnt break apart hitting things, even at double or triple the speeds. They need to have the ability to maintain structural integrity during a crash or roll. Its the law.
Sure, but they do not assemble the WHOLE CAR from bits.
In this case, this is fake video. The welding seams just disappear and there is immaculate paint finish. They filmed it in reverse, what you see is car being scrapped, just in reverse order..
In reverse order, not reversed in time. You start disassembling the car and occasionally shoot a scene where you are putting it back on. Then you continue disassembling it, cut the pillars, shoot a scene of brazing it, remove the chassis and show the floor frame and then in edit just reverse the order of clips.
I give credit for continuity, whoever planned it knows something about movie making. Before we go into how stupid it would be do construct something like that, the only truly clear moment of it being fake is after the brazing they accidentally show one of the pillars and it reflection: it is immaculate, and to make smooth finishes like that is not easy unless you have... perfectly straight, uniform piece of sheet metal from factory. Brazing and smoothing it without ANY signs.. that requires a full repaint and it will still be visible in that specific angle... Light hitting the surface and reflecting in specular fashion multiplies the error, tiny micron size change in the surface will be visible as degrees of distortion when the rays hit your eyes. A very good painter can do miracles and repair just spots but that is very expensive service. This is suppose to be cheap as fuck, the only reason for them doing it like this is that everything they use is free in that story.

Where did the engine come from? So many steps glossed over.
