honda peeps. whatchathink?

my brother's civic 2001 vti got wrecked recently. bumped from behind. pumasok yung likod. engine wasnt touched.

he's gonna get more money to buy his next car if i buy the wreck from him rather than insurance pays him off the total of the car.

advisable ba to just buy it from him and spend for restoration? madali lang ba i-align yung body and takbo?

tks
