Some old sayings are appropriate here:
1. A fool and his money are soon parted.
2. You get what you pay for (or, oftentimes, you don't)
3. Caveat Emptor (let the buyer beware)

Too bad the cars for sale by JG, as good as they look and the price they're commanding, aren't completely sorted with excellent mechanicals. You'd think otherwise. Then again, never assume. It's a tough world "out there".

Thing is, we’re listening to one person who is trying to make a YouTube channel, talk about a few instances. Sounds like this JG guy is a semi-clueless hipster who knows how to do some body work and clean stuff. I do t know how true that really truly is. To make a lifestyle out of finding and making old cars nice is a fun and interesting thing. Who knows if it is a hobby, a full time job, what. Maybe others know far more than I do about this guy. Seems like this is all turning into a bash fest instead of focusing on the w123. One thing in the linked video I agree with is this guy brings some optics to the w123 cars, and saves a few more of them. Something that would be nice if we all could do the same.
