I'm betting that Insurance is going to claim it as totaled because the repair damages are going to be more than the value of the car (To a buyer, not the value to yourself). Thats a hefty bit of damage, lots of body work and painting, not to mention the axles. Sorry to see this happen bro.

It's border line judging by your suspension damage but my guess is that they will go for repair.
The consensus in the Ins. industry is that 75% of the value of the car in damage will total it unless we're talking about Classic cars or Exotics etc... then that doesn't apply but it's not the case here.
Good luck though...

Not true. A rebuilt car can drive the same if not better than a factory built car. Depending completely on the skills of the shop doing the work.
