    No it cannot be "repaired".

    The way it can be brought back to life would be by the use replacement parts, and ultimately, the best case scenario here would be a new car composed mostly of spare parts.

    For all intents & purposes, the original car is gone forever.

    That's what I'm thinking...

    Surely that chassis can't be safe after that heat cycle it's been through. No way will it have the same strength as an original frame.

    A car with that VIN will be going down the road one day. Better?
