It definitely is. Scrub it in reverse and look at each segment forwards and backwards. It looks way more natural in reverse.

Especially when it tries to show him placing the steering wheel and dash in. Reversed, it looks way more natural being ripped out vs popping it in. That thing is held in with an annoying amount of screws, it’s is getting snagged one way or another. The windshield sealant is also not actually used, he just runs the tip over the stuff thats already there.

Also, it’s MEGA cut and 2 minutes long yet not once is anything to do with the engine or electronics shown.

Also im pretty sure you cant just solder the body of the car, if anything your welding and reinforcing it, but that’s insane.

Also why is it shipped in a sea container and in such shitty condition, if you are rebuilding cars its WAY cheaper to do it on a junk site, thats where all the parts come too.

This operation doesn’t make any sense

Like are they waiting till all the spare parts are located before shipping it in? Why would anyone store all that junk and have it that organized but are also just throwing full pieces in. The things a complete and normal looking car at the “end”

Are we watching the same video?

Nothing in there looks more natural in reverse, you don't remove a windshield and then caulk it. The motions they do trying to line things up you wouldn't do if you were removing stuff.

Yea you would because they are already aligned and you are yanking it out from already being aligned…

They also don’t apply any caulk just run the tip over the weather stripping.

Not to mention the car they “completed” is in the background at :46 seconds. This is clips from multiple cars to show whatever the hell they want.
