[Tigers] Can This Tiger Be Saved?

So, a few days ago we saw the video of the "Buttonwillow Tiger" that was 
raced and crashed.  Now we have the "Rust Bucket" Mark II.  My recollection 
was that when the Buttonwillow Tiger was flipped over in the video the 
underside wasn't that bad. Can you see where I'm going with this?

Now it is no longer a debate over how much a Tiger remains a Tiger when 
replaced with Alpine parts. Rather it could become a debate of how much a 
Mark II remains a Mark II when replaced with Mark I parts.

And yes, I'm stupid enough to try something like this.  Why? Because an 
Alger will always be an Alger. But, a Mark II regardless of condition will 
always be a Mark II.  That said, someone will likely pay far more for just 
the trim and grill than I would for the whole car. So, another crazy dream 
ended and a heavy sigh of relief exhibited from my wife.  :-)
