This is just out of curiosity and is thing that has been lingering in the back of my mind for a while. I know its possible but how and what needs to be done?? I've read so many forums on other sites about doing this but they all can't seem to give a down to earth answer on what actually is done to the car. In other words they seem to give completely different explanations or basic instructions from one another. Here in Australia GT4s are on the pricey side and a rare find.. So thought in the coming years a AWD conversion might an cheaper and beta (not necessary Easier) solution.

+ let me reverse that question on you. have you performed such a crash test on a car you've welded together like that and gotten a different result?

Umm you're comparing a previously wrecked and questionably repaired car to a car that precisely cut out and welded back in place. They bought a car that was repaired by a shop. There job is to get it done as quickly as possible otherwise they dont make money. Usually the people doing this are ultra conservative and take the time to do it right. I mean its a repair shop who knows how shotty there work is. I took my audi to get inspected and they couldnt even torque the wheels back on the car without torqueing them to over 200ftlbs causing the bolt to twist off when you tried to remove the wheel. They barely showed the 'repairs' on that car but you could see that the steel was not butted together correctly, there were probably multiple fractures in the steel that were never repaired. This just shows that the car wasn't repaired correctly. I will say I couldnt watch it with audio so I may have missed something they said.
