Well done on having the vision, grit and determination to pull this project through. Looks like you're reaping all the rewards you justly deserve!

What I love about this thread is the members' willingness to assist a fellow C63 owner. No BS in this thread, just goodness.

Just came across and read this entire thread, great work man! I am impressed, the car looks great

I share your pain man, mine was a salvage title and although it was already driveable, it definitely had its fair share of things that needed to be fixed. I think you definitely got a hell of a deal though

Just ran into my old C63 on copart....what a shame, the car ended up in the same predicament as when I found it. At least the new owner got to put 30k miles until he smashed it up...sad day

Wow. Forgot about this project! What a shame. All that hard work you put into making her look new again. Looks like possible track damage from a wipeout. Why did you end up selling it when you loved the car so much?

Man definitely sad! I guess fixing damaged cars is OP's hobby since he is constantly checking copart .
I think this one had a clean title at the time of the first wreck. This time it might not. But what a coincidence!

It was not practical for a family of 5, plus I was worried that the prior accident paperwork would catch up with the car to make it a salvaged title. I guess I don't have to worry anymore.

I was trolling around copart cause I do miss that car. One day I'll have another one, or maybe even a E63...
