    That hack frame cut-out truly is a double edged sword. It compromises vehicle frame integrity yet offers alternator and wiring accessibility. These longer videos offer great detail and are much appreciated. Thanks for all your hard work.

      I definitely wasn't complaining when it came time to repair the harness, it's unfortunate that it was hacked up like that. Owner wasn't happy when I pointed that out. 🤷‍♂️

    Great video, that kid's done well to find a decent, diligent mechanic such as yourself. That hack job on the alternator and the frame cutting are the hallmarks of an absolute crook and give mechanics a bad name. Well done mate, I enjoyed watching the process.

    Oh my gosh. I've often said "you see some cray stuff" but this takes the prize for stupidity. That $500 job will cost $1000 to patch that job. Mahew might be a tool company worth looking into.

      Mayhew stuff has been 💪 for me and their prices are reasonable. I've seen people do little things to cut corners or make a job easier but this one definitely is the most egregious .

    Kickstand spring pick. Smart tip with the masking tape. I believe the phrase is "I'll burn that bridge when I get to it!".
    I've been wacked in the hand by a caliper because I removed a bolt.

    As soon as I noticed that frame work I would have refused to touch it. If his insurance company knew about it I'm sure they would not give coverage for it.

    Whoever worked on that Mazda before should apply for a job at Boeing. Scary stuff, compromising safety to make a job easier. I’d be scared to drive that thing if I found out part of the subframe had been chopped off.

      If I remember correctly the owner said it was his uncle who cut the frame but I'd need to confirm that .

    Looks like pookies cousin got ahold of that car. That cut is going to lead to the frame cracking and vehicle sent to the scrapper.
