What a brilliant video!
If I didn't know better I'd have said it was a spoof.
@1:00 if the bonnet doesn't fit then kick the grille until it does.
In 96 I was lucky enough to get a lift from Norderstedt into central Hamburg in a harlequin Trabant - done cheaply by wrapping in off cuts of vinyl.
It wasn't this one but looked pretty much the same.

They're wonderful little cars and best of all, they can be repaired by anyone anywhere in the world, no fancy electronic **** to go wrong, just good old fashioned KISS engineering.

Those guys have some serious skills! If it was a Defender the lights would have shorted in the water test..
They put rover to shame, at least they make the effort to make the panels line up and check for water leaks

Don't you get it guys?
They closed the Trabant factory and Land Rover takes on more recruits??? Vehicle Hand finishing skills are hard to come by these days.
Anyway, I prefer this Trabby film, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-2Na0Lj-DuY&feature=related, particularly the closing shots (oh and the off roading bit!!)
