If you don't know who he is, he's this crazy Russian that does collision repair, mostly on severely damaged luxury cars. 

He's been doing a repair on a wrecked Lamborghini Gallardo, and the questionable frame repair aside, I had to post this to share the repair he did on the driver's quarter panel (in part 2).

(If someone could embed that, that'd be great!

I just sat through 30 minutes of it and subscribed. Thanks for posting it!

I don't feel bad about that frame repair. There's no way to take that back to 100% original. Do you throw the car away, or do you accept that in safety terms getting into the Lambo is the bucket, and that frame repair is a drop? I'm gonna go check on that thread about motorcycle racing now. cheeky

In reply to Vigo :

LOL I meant more about not knowing what the frame was made of, and what kind of filler wire to use, or if it was heat treated and what heating the frame with a torch would do to the temper.

The name Athur Tussik made me think of Alvin Tostig from the Elton John song Levon.

Well, to his credit he seems to readily admit what he doesn't know.
