Yes it's an AMG, but still, it has to be a 10 or 15 year old model. The interesting part is at 12:30 when he uses lead filler. I don't think they use that even on antique car restorations any more.
This would have gone to the junk yard in any other 1st world country

When I saw the thumbnail image, I thought they were going to make a CLS convertible! 
labor is cheap in these countries as are the safety regulations to get them back on the road. i have watched many of his vids and while he is a great body repair guy, i think the people that own the cars he fixes don't bother to put back the air bags and other safety devices.
lot of the cars come from the US as totaled wrecks . Buy them and send them over there to be rebuilt and sold in the euro market.

It looks to be a first gen CLS 63 AMG which was made from 2006 to 2010 so the car is getting up there in age. The thing to remember is wages in Russia are really low (the per capita GDP of Russia is roughly 1/6th of that in the US) and it's one man shop doing the work. Also I should note that from owning a old Benz it seems that Ruskies love their Benz's probably more than any other country out there.
I find myself wondering why they used the jaws of life on this car when it appears that any of those doors will could be pulled open with ease.

Cars are easier to fix or replace than your back or spine.
$50 profit may be a moths wages in some places
Okay?
You could pick up an E class AMG for 15-20k with a similar engine. Only thing is, those early 2007-2011 engines had weak head bolts so the first question people would ask is if the head bolts were done. There's a few other issues with the engine too but the weak head bolts can cause it to blow a head gasket and then the engine is ruined and a replacement one was about 25k at one point from the dealer, even used was about 10k. But with 475hp, it's no slouch.

While not economically viable here... the workmanship of the bodywork is outstanding. Brazing or filling with bronze or lead is pretty standard in these types of repairs.
