    Flex is a legend. No idea where he finds all of these cars left to die, but he resuscitates and revives them by breathing new life into them. Well done mate. Keep up the good work! ❤❤❤

      He may get them running but most of them are so rusted that they can never be used in traffick again.

      Ich schaue mir die Videos von Flexiny immer wieder gerne an. Unglaublich wie er die Autos nach einer so langen Standzeit im Freien wieder zum Laufen bringt. Leider sind einige Autos so verrostet, dass sich eine Reparatur nicht mehr lohnt und nur noch als Ersatzteilträger gebraucht werden könnte. Aber es werden einige Autos sind noch gut im Schuss und können sicher wieder auf die Straße gebracht werden.😊

      Especially since they don't have a engine to start haha
      but yes, after sitting for 15 years the lithium battery will not hold any charge, let alone the stupid computer systems refusing to power the motor unless everything is perfect and it receives the latest update from Tesla, and once it has verified with a remote Tesla service.... which the servers hosting that service went down 10 years ago

      Hi. I've found some cars from car selling sites or some are from people. Most of cars are abandoned because they wont pass technical inspection or they have expensive issue to fix, sometimes its cheaper to buy new car. Here is not that hard to sell these cars but nobody wants to pay price that you ask. Most people want to buy cars here for metal price only.
