WHO decides what an "honest repair" is?

The owner of a car sets the standards for what he owns. The purchaser of a car sets the standard for what he wants to own.
That is YOUR opinion.

If I assume you mean a restoration other than by rebody (if anyone can define when it takes place) then I guess it is safe to assume that you would be satisfied with a burned, rusted, damaged car that was repaired by a novice welding parts from 15 different cars togather in their garage?

I said no such thing. What a stupid thing to say.
That is the way I preceived it. Isn't the written word great.

You would not rather have one that all of the correct parts were simply transfered to a complete, undamaged factory built donor car just as the factory did to build that same car that is what the V.I.N. trim tag indicates?

What you are describing is a clone. It might be cool to own, but it would always be a clone to me.

Not a clone at all when the numbers are transfered, which is what we have been discussing here.
