Please provide us with the cost breakdown from the capex to the restoration cost and approximate resale value. The painter will not leave long f he continues in his trade without protecting his lungs. He ought to mask up.

Thank you Mugo for watching.
@@DiywithJojo 💯
Brave of you to venture into such a task! I would never! For resell or for your use?

Imeweza😍
Amazing.....👌
Thank you Rosemary for watching.
Kindly break down the prices for us car enthusiasts but the work is 💯 Erick wokabi should invite your for Monday night or Pamurik show
We had a sit down with Pamurick and discussed everything about making these cars and where to get them it's up on his channel
Roof black + brake pads black ikue perfect
Kazi safi
How much did you get for the salvage?
Kweli its work that has been done ,perfect combo 😅❤
Loved the outcome. Thank you so much for watching
Do u sell it after
I'll be following this so much. Are you comfortable to share where you source these project cars and can you help in sourcing for one. I intend to build one as my first time car. Been following your restoration stories.
Kindly DM me on IG @Diywithjojo we can work on it.
Same case applies for me ...can i use ur expertise i get a car and u deliver it to me when done
Ofcos having to take care of your token as well
@@nyagahhub627 This can be done..
Please share your Whatsapp
Great restoration but umeruka most essential parts like cutting and repair of damaged parts roof which was more entertaining ❤
How much for the car?
Great content. When selling the car to potential clients, do you explain that it was involved in an accident?
Most will ask if they see something off with the car.
Can I get mine too for restoration?
will one be obligated to change the log book content like the colour and how much does that cost?
No. You won't change any details in the log book since it says Silver. The gun metal grey is in the family of silver
Kindly where is this garage found? If possible number and location.
Loving your content
The garage is located on Rabai Rd. You can reach them on 0710 477887
This is BuruBuru Phase 5. Link me to the guys who did the paint job.
Great content....... please inform the painter to wear protective gear. SAFETY FIRST.
Point noted. Thank you for watching and the feedback..
Contacts of your garage
Connect us to the source, please. Good work keep it up.
Well done,.. Where's the garage or contacts?
The garage is on Rabai Rd. Contact 0710 477887
@@DiywithJojo thanks
do you check the engines? coz the worst thing ni kukwama kwa highway ama kushinda kwa mech kila siku
You check the damage done to the car at the bonnet. After evaluation that's when you know if the engine has been damaged. If it has you put that into consideration. If it has no damage and it can start... Then that's a good sign.
How much was the salvage car? Cost of the parts replaced, repair costs...Total (salvage car purchase+parts+Repair costs)???? How does this compare with a similar fully functional car in the market? These info would make your videos more valuable and informative... for now it's just entertaining to see the transformation... and stories and a lot of English 🤔
The spray painting guy needs proper PPE😵💫
Where do you get your parts from Jojo?
Specifically AMG Mats and Logo lol
Different places but mostly Industrial Area for ex Japan and new parts. Dubai has been costly of late so it's not an option and second hand parts on Kangundo Rd
@@DiywithJojo THANKS
You did a nice job on the Mercedes. It would have been a shame to let it rot away in a salvage yard.
Brilliant work done here lady, The painter should have won a mask for his safety. That paint contains lots of dangerous chemicals
Thank you for watching and the feedback. Next time, I will insist on it
Which garage is that ?
The garage is on Rabai Rd. Here is their contract 0710 477887

Kindly share contacts of the guys who did the job.

Great restoration, but when building a car always check the dimensions online, especially Mercedes, you can quickly tell the body guys don't know that the side lines are usually sharp, not curve from the front to end. This helps with aerodynamics, From front door to back, the sides usually have a sharp line that goes all the way to the back, most cars you've rebuilt don't get that line back. It's good to consider since is a physics thing not decorative, could be affecting speed, cornering or even breaking in some instances...
Thank you so much for this feedback. Definitely learnt something here
@41 muthu which line a you talking about am interested to know Boss
Its called the Hoffmeister Kink
@@walternyakwaka5481 Thank you for sharing
ON all cars especially heavy or fast cars, there is a line that runs across the body, a very sharp line @@perminusmesa3189
Share the approximate costs
The cost of the car was 420K. The cost of repair was around 250K
The welded joint on A-post is too big
Prep work was still on going. But it can't be seen after the car was done
How much did the whole project cost
The cost of the car was 420K. The cost of repair was around 250K
Great work, you have inspired me
@@dicksonmurange9349 Happy that you got inspired by this project.
Brilliant, good work here by these African Mechanics but why such a Old Car...? Do projects with newer Cars...!🤔😇👍
Amazing job. Kindly let your painter know wearing a mask is beneficial to his health 😊
It's risky but they insist on painting without them.
Thank you David for watching and your feedback.
Please ask your painter to always wear mask ok
can you give me contact of the mechanic ?
You can reach him on 0710 477887
as a chemistry expert i am saddened by the car painter wearing no mask ...nevertheless he did an amazing job
Thank you For watching and the feedback..
Nothing much was done to, Meanwhile: new roof, bonnet, windscreen like what? thats alot,
Considering the work that goes into making a salvage, trust me this is not much..
Este video es una burla al mundo de la restauración
Si uniuzie hii gali?
Still being used before selling.
Hii macho nne hunibamba ajab
awuoro.
The paint is perfect but the rims belong to toyota not mercedes
Thank you for watching. Those are Mercedes Benz rims.
Well done 👏
I like your co tent.
**just a pointer, I insist on the guys working on my car ,mostly paintwork to wear the masks for their own safety, its deadly if you understand what i mean.
Thank you for the feedback and for watching.
Buru
Yes. That's where the garage is
kindly encourage the painter to wear a mask during paintaing ,inhaling it isnt good
Thank you for the feedback. Will definitely insist on it
Nice try but structurally that car is an emergency waiting to happen plus the cost n all the trim wont be that gud i still think it not worth it!!!
the guy painting should wear a mask - He'll die early if he continues working like that. Kindly advise him that.
Thank you Philip for watching and the feedback. Will pass it on
I'd wish to see how the car looks one year later. All I saw was terrible workmanship
Good job Jojo
Thank you Njoroge for watching..
