Insurance companies will only let you have libility on the car, no comp if on a "salvage" title. My limit on doing this is $2,000 to $2,500 for the parts car. It's my labor.
Whole car with all the parts is easier to source parts from than ordering all the plastic crap that broke under the hood. The one I'm looking at was in a rear end wreck, front totally fine and the same color code as mine. Plus after the donor car is done, it will be sold off again for scrap or parts.
I have a 5 car garage so it'll be easy to pull parts off one and install on the other.
Still thinking about it... not a done deal....
When my daughter wrecked her Lexus I did the same thing but bought painted parts online. The color match was a little off but I didn't care.... she'll hit something again....

Nice work on the Lexus. Those headlights alone can put you in the poorhouse. Great you have the space. When I built, that was a necessity
No kids, but a tractor and implements
