repair a wreaked car?

[Umbra Animo]

so I wanted to ask can you fix a wreaked car? note I do not mean the burnt out ones but the vehicles that still have a mechanic system just are named wreaked

No you can't, since the body frame is bent and twisted all over. You can still salvage many parts from it, and dismantle it with a welding torch just like burnt ones after you're done with it.

You can’t, however there are mods I believe that let you scrap those wrecked cars.

You can, I've done it without mods, the issue is that the engine quality can't be improved so far as I can tell. You can replace all the parts (which I did) and repair the engine condition back up to green (which I also did) but the engine quality will is what gets you

is it possible to replace the engine? like take it out and put a new one in?

So first you used a crowbar on the car and now you want to repair it?
(wreak havoc on somoene or something. WRECK something, to damage or destroy)

I think they were already scrappable in B41.

wrecked. not wreaked.
A wreck-> damaged object-> wrecked something -> descriptive term, telling that say a vehicle is damaged. wrecked car-> a car so damaged that it is likely beyond repair.
aka totaled car.
Wreaked-> past tense of to wreak.

Not to my knowledge. You can only repair the existing engine.

Cars that cannot be functionally repaired ("wrecked"):
-Right click brings up option "dismantle car wreck"
-You cannot enter the car. You can still access the trunk and the engine bay.
-In vehicle mechanics you cannot work on the side doors and windows.
-Visibly it's banged up bad, with caved in fronts, sides or backs.
-In unstable B42 it's easy to tell from the written name, with the "wrecked" suffix

Cars that can be functionally repaired:
-No option to dismantle. It's not "wrecked", even if you whack it with a crowbar or ram on it with another car. Use mods if you want to dismantle it.
-You can enter the car.
-May look worn with wrinkled surfaces, but not badly banged up like a dent tin can

For the latter you can restore it, but fixing the engine is a lot of work, and probably is not worth doing unless you're restoring high-performance cars like ambulances or police cars.
