Shocking!
Watched that same YouTube video the other day and couldn't quite believe a company had had the nerve to charge money for the "repair".
It seems so blatantly twisted and knackered before and after the "repair".

My Cat B write off Haynes is back as a track car - still has twisted chassis, back left hand wheel suspension refitted so the wheel is 4 inches
further back than it should be and about 6 degrees out of line etc etc - guy who bought it as a track car didn't know it was a Cat B and Copart
don't want to know as they have been given a certificate of destruction!
Not surprised - there are a lot of people who just want money and don't care about the consequences

Agree, there's always money hungry people out there. However, this sort of thing still gets my goat when it puts the car's occupants, other
road users, pedestrians and so on at risk. Just seems a really bad show, but I guess there's little to stop it happening.

And there I was thinking that the missing upper cross beams was the issue!
I'm not sure how the initial repair could have been done like that, I guess for those not familiar with kit cars possibly? But even so, having
something misaligned left to right is just common sense.

For it to be so obvious on a video it must be really bad in real life.

I watched this and asked them to name and shame to stop others making the same mistake.
I also asked them what condition the roll cage was in as I was interested in having one 
Apparently it had all been chopped up

If that chassis has been chopped up that's the best thing for it - prevents it ending up back on road/track.
