Back before the days of branded/rebuilt titles, my father was a financial backer in a shop that bought wrecks and rebuilt them. My brother's Z car was wrapped around a pole 2 feet away from where it was first halved together.
Plenty strong when repaired correctly.

You don't respect cats and are a doormat for your kid, so I'm fine with that.

That said, good luck with your rebuild and I wish you the best. And as a car guy, I mean that. Now I will GTFO.
