DO IT!!!!!!!!!! My SVT is a salvage car and is now legal. Rebuilding salvage cars is easy. As long as it's light front end damage do it. Air bags can be had for cheap on ebay. You don't need the car to look good either. Bring it in with all the damaged parts replaced and it'll pass. I had a trooper/inspector tell me as long as it's all fixed properly it can be rainbow colored. Some think you need to repaint the car too for inspection.. you don't
Usually is cheaper to buy salvage cars and rebuild then buying a new car. Oh and resale isn't hurt that bad....I've seen rebuilt rollover CSVT's sell for more then 10K.
