I'm with you, no way should this be repaired. Send it back, let them melt it down and start over. For sure the frame is damaged and when the frame is damaged there's no fixing it.

the car in the garage looks to be the same exact car that is sitting upright in the 1st post.

u can tell cuz the rear hatch doesn't sit/fit properly above the left rear "hip" of the car

looks like he added a CF spoiler while he was at it. guess the guy had the mod bug and bought it before he even got the car lol

what a clown for allowing the equipment to accidentally malfunction. His death is the only thing that will make up for it
