sir, i hate to say that you are wrong about what has been done to the car. I know for a fact that the whole back (from driver seat to rear) has been cut completely out and redone with new carbon fiber interior, shocks, rear end, wheel tubs, body and the whole front clip has been cut off and replaced also with new struts, brakes, rack and pinion and many other misc things have been done. after knowing that, i would say that the car would be pretty much new. just stating facts!
