All that was left from the salvaged Porsche used to "build" the Z4M?

Car looks a lot better than I imagine you left it after that pickup ran over it! But buyer beware as I thought it was pretty badly damaged.

Yea, the frame rail was pretty bent....i dont want to know how they "fixed" it.

Also the term " Custom Adapters " causes me some concern....

If it's been fixed properly it would be cheap buy, especially for a track car!

Custom. Eeeee.

Front frame rail can be fixed by cutting it back to the firewall on both sides and rebuilding. I've seen it done well with an E36 M3 that turned some impressive times as a track car. But getting it right--not something your average bear can do.

Salvage title, but 9/10 and 'well taken care of'?

Why pick the ugliest Porsche wheels ever made AND keep the Porsche crests on the center caps?

Seriously?

Salvaged titles are great.

Yea, the thing is the salvage was like 18 grand....so there is no way they cut that framerail and rewelded it. I am sure they just bent it back. If that was the case I would strongly avoid this for a track car.....
