So.. what kind of "title" does the car have after an accident like this? If insurance would have "covered" it, would they have totaled it out?

I know some states have pretty strict guidelines when a "salvage" title car is rebuilt. Not sure if they would apply in your situation though. Also, if the car stays in your hands, does a place like "carfax" ever learn of the rebuilding?

Good luck on your project!
