iv seen worse, it is repairable but just is alot of work, parts would probs be the biggest cost tho
not sure on the profit margin tho, perfect if you wanted a cheap works van tho thats only a couple of years old when repaired

guy who owned a demolition and construction firm used to do it all the time, used to bring write offs into my old bodyshop where i used to work and pay himself to get them repaired, some used as site vehicles, the odd one or 2 he repaired for his kids (2 mini cooper s')
one van as like that but down the whole side, looked fine when we finished, but again needed a fair amount of ork and panels cut off and new ones welded back in

dad recently bought one that shape that had the step completely stoved in, probably more repair work than that. Has had it repaired to be turned into a tow truck. Has still worked out alot cheaper than buying a non damaged one.

Seen worse repaired.
Can remember a fire damaged transit minibus been repaired and put back on the road. Needed a lot of work.
They kept it as a hire van and when it made its money back through been hired out, It was sold on for a profit.
You would be surprised what can be repaired!
