Years ago my dad showed me one such “repair” when the car came in to him for a proper repair.....several months after MOT.

I saw a car like that one night a few years back. I was playing tennis and there was a colossal bang and all the lights in the area went out. We went out into the street to see what had happened and we found the back half of a Holden wrapped around an electric light pole and the perfect front half another 50 metres down the road. Halfway between the two was the unconscious driver. The car had come over a rise and broke apart at the bodged and filled front door sills and tack welded front floors. Fortunately for the driver it was in the days before compulsory seat belts and he went gripping to the steering wheel and the front half of the car which continued straight down the road. If he had been strapped in to the driver's seat they would have had a nasty mess to clean off the light pole, as it was he had no more than a severe concussion and some scrapes where he had been deposited on the roadway.
