Ohh man, was loving this until I saw the paint job and the sheet metal repair. Surely you got such a great deal on the car you could have spent a bit extra on a quality paint job and replacement piece. Overall, was a good video to watch! Enjoy the best car Mercedes makes 👌
Totally agree even with the silver stripe on the hood you can still see the dent underneath. The repainted areas are dull and not a match on the original paintwork. The car deserves better and these issues will be picked up when it comes to moving this car on and reduce its value accordingly.
Not even half way through this video yet, and this is your best video in my opinion, the calm background music, reminds me of top gear review ride alongs with Clarkson, just, majestic, solitude, watching you fix this car with fast footage showing every click, snap, bend, fitment. Amazing job, build your dreams!
And if you guys could smash the like button and turn on notifications, that would be golly swell.....Turns out only 9% of you are notified of my videos :( I love you guys too much to let it slide this time :'(
This is a fixing car experience I’ve never seen before this is straight fire inspirational what am I doing with my life started off looking at E bike shit then I realized I should just buy salvage cars you are the man and you’ll be a great father one day
Congrats, sweet ride...only 'but' that I have is that the paint work on the front side panel and bumper doesn't look a sharp as the rest of the car. Since you already got a great price on it I personally would let a pro spray those parts.
It looks great! And forget $1000 like 2000 -$3000. And the first time you have it parallel parked some nit wit could back right into you and screw up the paint work. I’m in NYC and for a driver it’s way more then good enough. Awesome car I’m im thinking of getting a 15-17 Benz myself. Like you said you can be in a 6 figure car for a fraction it’s original sticker price!!
@@TheInja i think doing your own paint gives it your own touch your just an average dude trying to make it.it gives the car the im not trying to be someone im not vibe.
couple of questions. Was it total junk titled? As an independent repair how do you get it re titled as repaired? I noticed you had to go over the seat belts. Is there something done to reset the safety systems? I’ve heard that once in an impact all seatbelts and sensors need to be replaced.
If you're going to keep buying older vehicles to rebuild get yourself a nice dual stage air compressor and the air tools and paint guns you need if you don't have them already. Will save you a ton of time and you'll have a much better job in the end. They even sell portable blow up spray booths you can drive a normal sized car in and spray once it's prepped. It did turn out nicely with what you had though and you'll keep learning and upgrading as you go just like the bikes.
I find it amazing that insurance totaled a vehicle and Inja buys it at auction, had delivered to his house got it into his garage and without so much as a lift managed to get that "totaled" $110K vehicle back on the road in a matter of weeks with minimal assistance from Swaggy P and Lord Kurt? Great Job!!! Keep up the great content!
I have to give it to you💪🏾.. I'm speechless, you brought it all the way back. That's not an easy task. Your kid is riding around in complete luxury in the back..👍🏾
Buddy just watched you're video and I couldn't agree more with you. I have a 2014 S550 4matic. LEARNED ALOT FROM YOUR VIDEO. Very cool, man. much respect.
Unfortunately the chrome delete, strip, and red calipers do not work on an S-Class, these cars are meant to be stately and dignified. Aside from that I think this was a great and economic repair video. I’m glad to see you did all of the work yourself! Really gives hope to those of us who may find ourselves in a similar position.
I sure do like it blacked out with red calipers (will be adding black logos on the calipers later) better than chrome! But I get your point. Thanks dude!
Wow, you've got money making skills. I can only imagine the cost of doing this if done by other professionals. What's the total cost of this repair project?
100th like and my comment is Your hard work has given you a Beautiful end result it's a shame fuel is so expensive but you could go electric ha! ha!Great Video Inja!
i dont know if your aware of this but the rally stripe should always be on the driver side.. history of this is cause when the rally races the officials will know what side your driving so in case of a wreck they know where your location is to get you out fast... but i do love your video and thanks for the entertainment
It's most likely to help mask the imperfections on the hood, looks like it was damaged in shipping or maybe bought like that. Even though he did a great job with repair there are still some issues with the hood.
Hi Mate.I will be going thru same repair you just did, smashed on front left side on a 2014 S500, smasing the lamp. I thinkbuts less severe than this but bonnet is worse. Woudl you mind posting part number for parts you ordered ? Not really sure where I can get the part number for ordering as I don't have manual. Thanks for your help
the car is sick! but as a bike guy, i noticed a large fabricated battery case, and a hub motor, and cant wait to see what the next bike in the works is!
Great job on the car other than a couple of details try next time to pull the bends in the hood with some tools so that u wont have to use so much filler and hope you improve in the next videos keep on going you are doing a great job
Hey, so I’ve been watching your videos for the past few days and just discovered you do photography professionally. Is there anywhere I can go to see your work? I also do pro photography/videography.
awesome. badass job man, really well done. I liked the condensed replay, perfect format for a quick glimpse into this kind of repair. Can't go wrong with red calipers on black
The in car first person view reminds me of a video game. It’s so perfect and sleek and just so well done. The car is amazing. Congrats 👌🏼 reminds me of those filters people use to make it seem like they have a luxury car
congratulations ❤ the car 🚗 looks beautiful I don't speak english I'm brazilian ☺🤗🇧🇷 but I loved the video 📹 the car was beautiful 🚗🚘🚗👏👏👏 God bless good afternoon it's in 🌎 translation 🤭😳😬😝 amen
Congratulations on finally having a beautiful car that you can put the baby seat in! Great video, I enjoyed the time lapse alot without interruptions of voice overs it was quite calming to watch.
Okay you're living your dream, I get it... and you bought a 100K car for 1/3 of the price, and fixed it up! for a song! But, do you really think a 100K flagship from MB deserves a silver strip on the car, NO, does it need that funky purple ambient lighting you installed, NO, did it require a rear facinf car seat Heck yeah cause that is your most prized possession now DAD! The black wheels are another sore spot with a purest...the stock wheels were fine, and the engineers at MB always know what they are doing, ask them they will tell you! Even Foost knows that ! And as for your bodywork, you did fine, but order MB paint... that is all from the purest who used to sell them, and drives a Audi SLine Q7 Supercharged now! the SUV sleeper!
Good job! I have a few questions: What's the deal with the rear right and center interior? You fixed the frame with some sheet metal, that looked questionable (says me, the couch surfer)? What's the total price?
Omg bro ,you did it man 🥲I am absolutely buzzing for you and your family,you deserve this m8 ,I watched your channel from the beginning.watch it grow and your family & lord kurt ,I could not be more happy for someone I don’t really know ,(although I feel like your family lol 😂) right bro ,next is a new home, ranch ,castle😀 or something like that,you got this bro 😎 come on the Inja 👊
Nice job ! Such an awesome car.We have the chrysler x-fire which has the Mercedes drivetrain and my wife drives it daily.Seems to be a tough cookie lol!
one of my favorite videos so far.shows that you dont need money to have nice shit.anyone can sign on the dotted line not everyone can put in the work like you do.
Nice effort, but if I were you, I'd take this beautiful car to a professional body shop and let them paint the right fender,the hood and the bumper to regain factory shine. A spray can job is just not worthy to such a luxury car IMO. Also check out Tavarish's channel where he upgraded his S600 V12. He got a really cool, sporty steering wheel for his car instead of the ugly factory one. I think it's worth swapping it out..
Your skills pay out! It was a great rebuild, being practical and industrious pays a lot! Keep it up! Am waiting for the next project! Looking forward to see videos from you! Just like before liked and shared before I watch it! God bless you and your family!
@TheInja people would like to know how much you got it from copart for and how much you spent in parts. Amount of hours in labor. These things is why guys get on RUclips and weigh their next decisions. Good info makes us subscribe. Poor info makes us subscribe somewhere else more detailed. Just saying. Great job either way though bro!
You did an amazing job on that car. Congratulations! Now that that's out of the way, when am I to receive the merch I purchased during the electric bike giveaway?!
Love the video started following because of the S class but the paint job and the inside fender repair are bad. The strip on the trunk and hood and the black out chrome are also bad remember it's an S class.

Car looked great until you added the stripes. Why would you do that to a luxury classy vehicle
Stop the hate . He’s living the dream .
I feel like he did a great job and maybe he wanted to do everything himself. I love how it turned out and it didn’t need a professional paint job.
Not even half way through this video yet, and this is your best video in my opinion, the calm background music, reminds me of top gear review ride alongs with Clarkson, just, majestic, solitude, watching you fix this car with fast footage showing every click, snap, bend, fitment.

Agreed
Good to hear!! Thanks Joel!
Uauuu amazing. Just take it to a body shop to fix the hood properly and remove the grey stripe, it doesn’t match with the dechrome .
And if you guys could smash the like button and turn on notifications, that would be golly swell.....Turns out only 9% of you are notified of my videos :( I love you guys too much to let it slide this time :'(
I'm not entirely certain if I missed it, but was the Ducati given away? And does anyone know what is going on with orders?
@@kylerstadther9298 skim the other comments. Giveaway hasn't happened because PowerJDM is sucking with fulfillment on orders.
@@TheInja ok thank you for your time
@@kylerstadther9298 for sure dude. I feel bad about the whole thing. Literally all waiting on them.

A little late on the reply, but I appreciate you! Thanks brother!

Looks good enough to pass. And not $1000 and a month at the shop!

The paint job was great considering it was done in your garage, thumbs up!
@@jakereal3604 you know in cars that's like going out with a great great granny 😂

Much respect for showing it isn't just sitting back and buying expensive cars, you actually put in the work to own these.
Makes it that much more special to drive 🤍
This car is amazing, congratulation for your hard work.

It's super impressive how you were just able to purchase the parts you needed to replace the busted ones. Amazing job putting it all together!
Thanks man!!!!!

Love seeing the before and after transformation. You really did an amazing job with this car! Hopefully we can see more of this in the future.

Then do not come in South east asia, you will have an heart attack seeing S-class being modified like that here
@@TheInja I like your black cap
Well done, plenty of hard work, just get the bonnet dent sorted and get it painted by a professional, cant rattle can a car like that
You are a living prove of hard work great video my brudda!
Pretty awesome repair, I am here for the alien sounds over the calming ambience.
Can you explain why you needed to take the center console and rear seats out?
Centre console to remove the air bag module, back seat to remove the rear seat belts that were locked. I'm guessing.
Brother your doing a amazing job enjoy ur dream car drive lots of miles without accidents piece!!!
Great job with all you're cars young man! I'm impressed. Can't wait to see what's next.
Thanks brother!
You killed it rebuilding this car, I love the purple mood lighting
Wow, you've got money making skills. I can only imagine the cost of doing this if done by other professionals. What's the total cost of this repair project?
You Are Inspirational Man!!! Thanks For Leading The Way!!!!
100th like and my comment is Your hard work has given you a Beautiful end result it's a shame fuel is so expensive but you could go electric ha! ha!Great Video Inja!
Looks pretty sick. Nice work.
Thanks dude!
Patience, persistence determination and engineering know how = Priceless!
Keep those videos coming.
You’re awesome my man..🦾
Thanks Aaron!
How is no one applauding his wife for helping put the hood on with a baby strapped to her. That’s so badass.
You got skills dude... that was not easy, despite what you say. Congrats! Totally worth it!
Thanks, Mark! 🙌🏽
Looks incredible dude, one of the finest cars on the market 👀 🇩🇪

Woudl you mind posting part number for parts you ordered ? Not really sure where I can get the part number for ordering as I don't have manual. Thanks for your help
I don't have part numbers, either. Haha. I just searched until I found what I needed
cant believe you spray painted the parts yourself
the car is sick! but as a bike guy, i noticed a large fabricated battery case, and a hub motor, and cant wait to see what the next bike in the works is!
Best car repair video EVER. I was hypnotized.
Glad you enjoyed it!
@TheInja I have a 2016 S550. So I was particularly interested in your video.
Great job on the car other than a couple of details try next time to pull the bends in the hood with some tools so that u wont have to use so much filler and hope you improve in the next videos keep on going you are doing a great job
It was so satisfying to see this beautiful car get a new life during your “Car Building” montage!
Hey, so I’ve been watching your videos for the past few days and just discovered you do photography professionally. Is there anywhere I can go to see your work? I also do pro photography/videography.
damn dude that was alot of work!!!!!!! love the red calipers! 💯💯💪💪

Nice work. But you could have at least used a HF spray gun or even a cheap maaco paint job instead of a rattle can.
Eh, it was a true paint match and $160 total. Couldn't find the paint match for even half that for a spray gun.
congratulations ❤ the car 🚗 looks beautiful I don't speak english I'm brazilian ☺🤗🇧🇷 but I loved the video 📹 the car was beautiful 🚗🚘🚗👏👏👏 God bless good afternoon it's in 🌎 translation 🤭😳😬😝 amen
that license plate cover.... ^^ i get it...
Amazing work dude!! You keeping it or nah?
Absolutely!
Amazing work, turned out really great! Like the looks of these newer S-class cars, looks slimmer and more sporty then the older ones.
Absolutely 💯
Awesome 😀❤️ i hope last owner of car must be watching this 😂😂
Wow! Great job bro! No matter what your dream is... Live it!! Rock on✌God bless🙏
Congratulations on finally having a beautiful car that you can put the baby seat in! Great video, I enjoyed the time lapse alot without interruptions of voice overs it was quite calming to watch.
Good to know. Thanks Jonathan!!
Good video. Nice that you done the work by yourself, but I would have liked to see the repair in real time over more videos. Still good content though
You make fixing cars and bikes look like so much fun I really didn't have a lot of interest but this channel changed that
BRO YOU ARE A BEAST!
Not goner lie this video kinda nice to watch. Very appreciate the little things that u do.

The lighting comes stock. I like the stripe. Prefer the Lambo over this, this is a commuter and not my only cool toy
Absolutely love Mercedes-Benz! Congratulations
I’m a bmw guy…….but that thing looks NICE! good job!
Loved the video, shame the bodywork isn’t Mercedes’ quality but I get it’s a daily ect my OCD wouldn’t allow for it lol
More like this, please... :)
Well done!! What is the plan sell? So hard to decide that is a sweet ride
The most satisfying video I've watched all year. It looks amazing
Check engine light on dash?
good job
Thanks!
The car turnt out great inja , loving the silver stripe on the bonnet and boot, cool video mate 👌👍😎

The paint didn't turn out too great lol, but for the price you can't beat some spray can DIY paintwork.
