I understand that the car was worth far more than the repair bill, which is why they repaired instead of paying it out.

But at what point do they say we can no longer rebuild the car. I mean there was literally half a car left after the pictured crash. I can only assume that they ended up just building a new car for him, and just attached the VIN plate of the old one on it.

I mean the repair bill cost more than the car did originally. That's absolutely ridiculous.
