He is not a W123 specialist or anything so I would be curious to read opinions on that from people on this forum:

I agree with others, its not a structural issue at all. It sucks to repair that area but its not a safety issue. The way he's working certainly is a safety issue.



If you want to see some decent repairs done to a w123 and some excellent stop motion work, check out Soup Classis Motoring on YouTube. Guy is making things happen on a different level and getting YouTube and Patreon to fund it.
