They should, they have gotten enough practice rebuilding it, this is now restoration #3 for that airframe, lets hope they have forgotten all they learned about crashing it.

The second one was an entirely new airframe (sourced from Willie Roberts at Strathallen). This time it has an original Blenheim I nose (which had been converted to an electric car postwar) grafted on to it.
