THE CHICKENHAWK // Full Salvage Car Rebuild

- This is my timelapse of fixing my mercedes with chickenwire and bondo. The bumper repair was necessary because the AMG front bumper is more rare than I thought and I couldn't get a new or used one. There was one used one I found for about $3,000...but I wasn't about to spend that much on a bumper. So I had to fabricate the entire thing with no experience or knowledge. It has held up great for about 2,000 miles so far!
Damn... I'm still amazed how you did the bumper... looks so good
Well, now that you know you have the skills to shape the body work if you ever do break or crack it you can use fiberglass next time and see how it does.
Getting lucky on the throttle cable issue was a great bonus and now you have a beautiful version of your dream car for cheap.
Well said!
Definitely a job for fiberglass, but the end result looks good!
Agreed! Just really had no idea where to start. Nothing online about fabricating a whole left side of a bumper!
@@TheInja the easiest way to do it would be by fixing the damaged side with Clay and using that to create a negative mold of the entire bumper to lay the fiber in and using a vacuum back to distribute the resin and epoxy
And make a new bumper
The other more pain in the ass way would be to mold the good half of the bumper and mirror and duplicate it in Clay or foam and use that to make a negative to lay the fiber in and vacuum bag it to make a new bumper
You could also find someone with a undamaged bumper that's willing to let you borrow it and make a negative mold from that to lay the fiberglass in to fix the damaged bumper or just make a new one
@@TheInja Brilliant work. I can't see why you can't fix your cla250
Definitely not your conventual way of fixing a car but man it looks good!! Great job 🔥🔥
he might learn one thing or two from a certain chicken farmer...
The bumper came out amazing and the exhaust note is just 🤤
What ? Incredible job . Look at yooouuuu now !
Whoohoo Inja . Beautiful car , timeless.
Looks like a $30,000 car now .
Wow nice job! Super cool how you did the bumper. Turned out amazing.
Thanks dude 🙌🏽 and it has held up great so far!
That's borderline criminal, but good job anyhow! :D
Hahaha thanks 🙈
In the end he drove it like he stole it, because he almost kinda did!
Two vehicles I think Inja should own is Sur-Ron X & ONYX RCR. Both unique but very powerful e-bikes. If we are going into scooter category Rion RE90 or Thrust fastest scooters on the market (software limited to 80)
Oh wow! Might just have to ch ck that out 😏
Very inspiring!!! Congrats brudda..
I finally bought a 2003 sl500! I'll be reviewing your vids for some tips...thanks!
ARE YOU READY TO RUMBLE!!!! MEGA TIMELASPE!!!! excellent job!!!! 💪🤣
Oh man, I live near BWI, & they had some Mercedes cars in their "abandoned vehicle" auction last year. I wish I could have fixed it up like this. So cool.
You've done that like a pro!!!! Men your good
Awesome video.
Regards from South Africa.
All that, and it only took you 6½ MINUTES ?
Amazing.
.
I Just came across Ur Channel. Im from Germany and dont understand Why Theres only 5000 Views on this Video lol. Well done
Jesus nice Work
Wow you are incredibly talented!!!
could you do an update on the car ? im thinking of buying a used car like this but i want to make sure there aren't many problems with the car before buying beforehand
Now that what I call a budget fix.
But a fix nonetheless haha
That was a brilliant time-lapse video of a rebuild chicken wire 🙄 still don't beet chinese enduro 250cc for under 1500usd we don't get them in the uk keep up the great videos
Whats That?
I hope you still have this car! Would love an update :)
I do, an absolutely awesome car! Super fun. You can see it in other videos. :)
i have same year car and i feel same as you cant believe its my car . i also think you would have to at least have to do motor mounts or suspension parts how many miles on it btw great content making
112k miles!
I still don't believe that front bumper. It looks great but how did you get it to look so good. I watched the other videos and it still baffles me how good it came out. Nice work man 👍
Love it! 🏎🏎🏎
😍😍😍😍😍😍
I'll just get a second hand one, save the time, Oh its that rare!! Can't believe $3000 for a bumper! Great job and I love the fake Private Road sign🤣. by the way my full initials are AMG and I so want one!
You definitely need an AMG!! Haha!
Did the original pedal work?
So dope
Cool
Great job man did you get the flashing light problem sorted.
Damn bro, you did a pretty good job on that tight of a budget. Hope it holds up!
Doing great after a couple thousand miles already!
Any updates yet on the 125cc Chinese bike yet
Coming up soon! Got some performance mods for it and will be installing soon!

I wish!
epic
Great job man, was this your first time doing body work? If so from 1-10 how hard would you rate it?
I've done some simple bodywork and paint on previous motorcycle projects, but never anything on this scale. Pretty easy, just really time consuming to do if you want it to look perfect!
@@TheInja well it came out great man, I've always been intimidated by body work, watching your work and how good it came out gives me a little hope haha
Pretty good idea man!
Great job do another SL Benz rebuild
They are super hard to find! This one was a steal, and the only other one in the country for sale at the time.
Let us know when you find another front bumper!
Wait... this is a re-upload? Or having a deja vu👀
You've seen this footage throughout the series but this is a full timelapse of the build!
Very Cool .
Hi appreciate your ingenuity but in all reality I looked up the price on the bumper covers and the most expensive one I could find was $300
Send it to me and I'll believe you. Haha
@@TheInja Have you checked car-part.com? if you have a yard in your area that has one its by far the cheapest way to get parts. Search by common parts like the hood to see if they have the car and then call.
what slider do you use?
Not a big fan of Mercedes but for the price and the unconventional repair this one is really made affordable
Audio was also fixed with chickenwire hahaha
@@GlazzedDonut hahaha
Any chance of a tutorial video on how you did that bumper?
Its pretty self explanatory! But I did talk about it and show a bit more in a previous video repairing the bumper. But no official "how to" video.
@@TheInja Haha that's fair, thanks for replying, you're right. I just enjoy the "how to" style videos with a couple of tips on doing it.They usually do pretty well on CZcams, too.
Very impressive bumper job, but so ghetto. I would be afraid that there was more of that type of repair throughout the rest of the body!
$9500, 2000 of which was the filler you used to skulpt the new bumper! lol But seriously great job in the end bringing it back from the brink.
And hey keep looking, Maybe one day you'll find an official bumper to replace it for a decent price or at least to have a spare, just in case.
Exactly the plan! 💯
U fix the whole bumper? If it was me, i rather buy a new bumper. Gotta give u a standing ovation bro.
I would have but the AMG bumper is not easy or cheap to come by
Sell it yet?
I bought a motorcycle to discover that some bullshiter did the same crapy job on the fairing,I had to reconstruct the whole thing!
Now convert it to electric 😋
I'd ratchet spend the 2gs for the bumper 🤣😂 only people gunna look at that car is people that like and know that car, so there gunna LOOK at it and say WTF🤣😂
Literally looks oem. If you look under the car you can tell, yes, but the car is only like 4 inches off the ground. No one has noticed yet.
Noice
bet you will not pin this
