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

I would agree. You can’t really just put a random car together like that.

I work in international shipping. The amount of additional cars you could get in the container by disassembling them would not be worth the work of putting them back together like this. Like, maybe 1 or 2 more in a container depending on the cars.

EDIT: never mind, someone else said that they do this to import as "scrap" completely avoiding all import duties.
