king406:
Will they also upgrade the engine and transmission

Majesticniyi:





I am not going to even try to explain myself to you. Continue welding everything as you seem fit...infact believe what your panelbeater tells you in contrast to what a welding engineer tells you

KINGreignn:


Trash. In a bid to prove you learnt about strength of material in Engineering/technical class, you shot yourself in the foot.

Let's leave it as it is. Car safety crumple structure are made up of usually a minimum of 2 metallic alloys fused together either thru weldings, glue or other process tho under very carefully controlled environment

The most common metals used in crumple zones are aluminium, magnesium, light steel, boron steel, etc.

And o yes they can be welded using appropriate weld techniques.

AmuDimpka:


Is it a welding engineer that hasn't fabricated anything or panel beater that the work is visible

Vic74real:
Oh.God bless you for this post.ive almost fallen prey two days.almost paid for a upgraded,supposed 2009 Lexus ES 350.On checking the VIN,discovered it's bn twice accidented.Was declared by the Insurer a total write-off.And wait for this,it's even 2007.if you see the eye where I look d dealer where bring come my office.make I no spoil person biz by mentioning my city and the dealer

Majesticniyi:




Of course, I learnt MATERIAL SCIENCE in technical class. By the way, thanks for validating the same point I made; specially chosen welding processes and environment must be ensured.







Lol, you must mistake me for one of the engineers you know in Nigeria.



I hate the forward and backwards that ensues on NL. I'm done on this thread. Thanks.

Why are you trying to Overlook the obvious fact that they plan to sell an older model car as a newer model to an unsuspecting buyer?

How much is a 2009 prado versus a 2013 prado?

The body work is only the most obvious modification. Who knows what Gazzuz did not capture. If customs stop that car it will become another story of a late model car being brought in for money of an older model.

Majesticniyi:



Bro, I usually dont come here to comment but I generally know you are an expert on cars. However, this your comment isnt entirely right. Any material scientist knows most cars are made of TRIP steel. These are steels that convert from Austenites to Martensites on impact. This also makes them generally not weldable as the materials change microstructure at the heat affected zones (except the welding is done under a carefully controlled process, which I wouldnt expect from almost any welder in Nigeria). The chances of this vehicle killing someone just increased due to the welding work done on the car. I know Nigerians generally weld cars...but believe me, that contributes highly to the death rate during collisions.

In short, the welding and subsequent mechanical work done on this car just rendered it unsafe for use.

Rapidpolystyren:
the guy is not even a welding engineer. Only fenders are changed in this upgrade and the interior can't be upgraded much. Structural integrity is still preserved

Rapidpolystyren:
you are totally wrong

Octopusssy:
LMAO .

Nigerians have satanic wisdom

delishpot:
If people die in that car now, they will say its village people that caused it. Nigerians can wipe out a whole village if it will bring them 100 naira profit.

love-vendor my ride does same with old cars.

AmuDimpka:



Just change the engine period

cuteralph101:
i did bought 2AZ now gear is faulty

AmuDimpka:


Change the gear ... Also ensure that you have a great deal

cuteralph101:
problem is no trusted mechanics around here yenagoa, 2 scared of being cheated

Flatinooooooooooosssss!!!









Very crooked!
