Not quite mint condition

Spitfire NH341 was shot down over France in July 1944, whilst the Allies were invading Europe. It has now been restored at a cost of £3 million. Which leaves me wondering just how much of the original aircraft is left after all that rebuilding, given that just a badly damaged fuselage was the starting point.
    Shades of the antique axe which has had 2 new heads and 3 new handles?
