What’s the general consensus on re-tubbing? I crunched my CRX at Road ATL in February. The tub is trashed.

I have a new shell, motor, tranny, suspension parts, etc. And I hope to start on the car soon – not in time for the Barber race though . My question is this: What’s the difference between a “re-tub” and a “new-build”? I’ll have to have a thorough inspection either way before they’ll let me back on track. If I call it a repair, I save the few bucks for a new log book, and keep the car’s history intact. But is it really this car’s history? Or do I just burry the log books with the old tub and start with a clean record?

Thoughts?
