A couple of YouTubers kept removing parts from a car to try to see at what point an old Vauxhall became totally undriveable.
Jamie Swingler and Romell Henry run the TGFbro YouTube channel, and the pair had a UK classic, the Vauxhall Corsa, which seemed perfect for the job at hand.
Having bought the car on the cheap, the next step was to get the tools to dismantle it and see just how far they could push things.
The question was what state would the car be in, and still be able to turn a wheel?
How the YouTubers would keep removing parts from the car
The Vauxhall Corsa is a staple of UK roads, so it was an easy choice for the two YouTubers.
Dismantling the car would be done in stages.
For each lap around a short racetrack, they would take a component off the car.
Components removed would include items such as the windshield, trunk lid, doors, wing mirrors, and more.
Driving with no doors and wing mirrors looked like a scary experience.
“This is definitely a lot windier,” remarked one of the creators.
Yet even with all that removed and no windshield, the car still drove.
“The roof’s gotta come off,” one of the creators added.
This required serious structural changes to the Vauxhall, and it didn’t end well.
How the car fared with the roof removed
Watching the two take the roof off felt like watching a demolition derby.
The whole structure of the car was severely damaged in the process.
It certainly didn’t look as bold or as good as the new Vauxhall Corsa.
Yet incredibly, the car continued to move despite their best efforts.
To try to force the car to give up, the two took the exhaust off the Vauxhall as well.
But it seemed nothing was going to stop this Corsa from running as it just kept on going.
The two YouTubers didn’t make any effort to take apart engine components.
What they did show, though, was how resilient the basic structure of a car can be.
Plus, even with some critical parts from a car, like the exhaust removed, nothing stopped this one.
Who knew you could take so much off a car and yet it would still keep running as normal?
