      I didn't have any words with Schmee, but listening to Freddy talk, it was almost immediately apparent that the first video was mostly shot a long time ago and he'd been sitting on it. I wonder how far along the car itself is, at this point. Or rather, how much he's managed to clean up

    Didn't Manny Khoshbin send his McLaren back to Woking to have the body completely replaced when he went from the blue/purple to the matte black or something like that? I think he ended up keeping all the body panels too, or he mentioned he did in one of his videos. It might be worth reaching out to him to see if it's true and he'd want to maybe sell it to you to help the build. But everyone is cheering for you Freddie and excited about this build.

    • @Xanderfied
      @Xanderfied Год назад

      Thats not true there are plenty of companies that will insure a rebuilt salvage title. If he is able to get McLaren to inspect the vehicle afterwards and they give it their seal of approval then I would imagine most insurance companies would cover a rebuild with the manufacturer seal of approval, regardless of previous damage. Also that black cloud of salvage wouldnt matter as much if he does a complete rebuild and then sells the car to someone in Europe, where it would have to go through a complete inspection upon entering the country. Salvage titles get a bad rap because generally to purchasing party either doesnt repair the vehicle or half ass repairs the vehicle. Im certain after spending half a mil on this car Freddie will make sure the rebuild is 100% otherwise what was the point.
