Sometime back I was asked to look at a car that was front end hit. The owner
was paying $600 a month for storage. I fixed the radiator and they said it was
driving straight. I said if it was driving straight, we could drive it to their house
and get out from under the storage fee, or we could drive to a junkyard and
buy the parts to fix it.

We fixed it.....when they took it in to check the alignment, the people there could
not tell that the car had been wrecked. .......and they now had plenty of money to
get it repainted.

Avoid salvage titles. Ins. co.s don't want to insure you.
If it is fixed by traditional means, it goes into the Carfax data base.
