yea they didn't really fix anything.. completely new chassis. you can clearly see it sitting next to the wrecked car in pic 6. definitely looks better in white though

That seems like the biggest waste of time and $$ to me. Why would you take the chance on a car like that? Just go buy a new one.

seriously the amount of money spent in labor and parts makes no sense to do something like this... Maybe the guy bought it for dirt cheap and was bulding the car for himself.. that i can see.
btw, very few countries outside the US have salvage titles, even fewer that use carfax... all these great luxuries are mainly for us lazy fat american....
