RC-F Rebuild (Video)

[Farqui]

Some interesting details on the RC-F front end here as a chap removes front end damage.

I find this style of time lapse videos quite entertaining over an early morning brew.

I know most of you are likely to be shocked by these images of a Lexus in pieces but some of us enjoy a little spanner time...

Reminds me of my C class having headlamp washers retro-fitted.

Why would you go through so much pain just to retrofit headlamp washers. If anything I would like to do with my car ... it would be headlamp washers "delete" 😄

I have found different part of the video.. kind of part 1. And whereas work on exterior looks pretty "bolt on", replace broken parts.... inside on the other hand looks total mess.

I remember doing quick and dirty calculation on some RC-F wrecked in UK and interior damage, like airbags etc. came as significant cost. As far as conclusion that car cannot be economically repaired for road use, rather as a basis of some track build where airbags and other niceties does not matter, and roll cage would suffice. Same stuff here - from interior just bags of broken pieces in random order...

Ouch. Now that I've seen the interior, my can-do attitude to repair such a damaged car would vanish. New headlights, new front seats, dash? $$$$$ I'm out 😁

Part's 3 & 4 are now available;

 

Once a build is complete then he usually goes over the total cost of the repairs 😉

OMG.....Rattle cans

Here's another RC-F rebuild video series that just starting.

Once again with front end damage, becoming a common theme...

Watched these some time ago and thought why would you bother as the cost must be massive. (unless its his and he wasn't insured?)  Add to that his rattle cans and hacksaw solutions glad he recorded it so everyone knows not to buy it.
