Wow. Not bad. What did he smash into at what speed?

The front looks gone.

Will the chasis be able to maintain the rigidity? If you take a corner to fast, will it break into 2?

jeebus! Those original chassis rails are completely foooked up. Good luck with the build. Honestly though, i would always have doubts in my mind about the crash readiness of such a repaired car.

Also, I'm assuming the airbags where deployed. any luck sourcing a new Sportivo dash?
