‘Extreme Job’ ‘The rebirth of the car! The ‘Junkyard, Wheel Repair, and Restoration’ episode will be broadcast on EBS1TV at 8:55 pm today, the 13th (Saturday).
Visit a place where old cars are reborn. Junkyards, known as places where old cars are disposed of, actually make a profit by recycling about 95% of the parts, and even car parts can be purchased at low prices. Also, the wheels and appearance of a scratched car can be restored to like new through repair and restoration. We meet people who give old cars a new lease of life in a variety of ways.
Up to 80%! Junkyard where you can buy used parts at low prices
There are 300 to 400 large cars waiting to be scrapped! Here, various types of large vehicles are scrapped, ranging from 1 ton up to 25 tons. These days, there is a lot of ‘early scrapping’ of cars, and it is said that the volume of scrapped cars is especially high. That’s why I’m so busy that 24 hours aren’t enough. It is very difficult to drive a large vehicle to be scrapped, and a truck that does not start can only be transported with a forklift, so a skilled person is needed. First, any remaining oil in the car is removed, and then the parts are dismantled in earnest using an oxygen welder. When large vehicles are scrapped, more than 95% of them are recycled, leaving nothing to be thrown away. Therefore, it is important to carry out work in detail and precision to avoid damaging parts. Foreign buyers come to check the condition of the disassembled parts and send them for export. Let’s go to the work site of a junkyard where they make an effort to recycle rather than simply separate the metal into scrap metal.
Make it look like new again through repair and restoration without replacement!
Cars have become a necessity for us, with one in two people owning a car! While driving, it is common for accidents, big or small, to cause problems with the appearance of the car. In particular, wheels are often scratched by parking or sidewalk blocks, and cracked tires can explode. In this case, it is dangerous if left unattended as it can cause not only cosmetic problems but also major safety problems. There are people who professionally solve these problems.
Wheels that had many scratches are welded, sanded, and even colored to completely restore not only their appearance but also their function. When restoring the so-called ‘dent’ of a car, the dented part is completely straightened using tools that do not damage the car, such as rods, glue, and scopes. When repairing the exterior of a car, the direction and intensity of the work are very important, and because it is a detailed work, the repair time is said to take more than 2 to 3 hours per car. Let’s meet veteran workers who repair and restore products at affordable prices, rather than replacing them with expensive new products.
