Default Not Repairable?

I was somewhat amused by this salvage auction for a 2007 Cub Crafters
Sport Cub, N475CC:

http://www.aigaviation.com/salvage/N...ageN475CC.aspx

The funny part is this quote:

Remarks: Aircraft is dismantled. According to Cubcrafters,
It is confirmed that the fuselage is not repairable as their
engineering department has no alternate repair approved
at this time. As such, this will require a complete
replacement of the fuselage.


The photos show a definitely-not-rolled-into-a-ball Cub, the sort of
thing we'd have called "minor damage" in reference to an old skool
PA18 towplane.

I distinctly remember seeing repair guidelines for all of the damage
visible in AC43.13. Did these guys lose their copy, or are they making
Cubs out of Tempered Unobtanium these days?

Thanks, Bob K.
