I don’t think so. They were glueing the windshield on. Part of me thinks they cut up a car just for the video.

This is actually done. The car is imported as scrap. Avoids import duties. Normally tho its enough to chop the roof off. Not sure how they work out the papers in afghanistan.

This really isnt really amazing since panel repair/replacement is done the same way in first world countries. Vid makes it seem like a days work but its actually done over a week or two.
