Default Should I buy back my stolen car?

I am looking for suggestions if I should buy back my car that was recently stolen from the insurance company. the only thing I would really want is the B16a2 with cable ys1 LSD equipped tranny, Plus most of the interior was their except for the dash.

Some other details....the body was straight with the bumnpers and hood missing. and the suspention was cmpletely gone along with the valve cover and the distributor (but I got a spare one)

So does anybody think it is worth it to buy it back....and what price would be to high?

Thanks!

The car was a 92 SI hatchback witha B16a2 engine. not much left of the car except for the engine and the interior. it is a straight shell though.
I didn't get a price from them yet but I think it will be under $1,000

this is what it used to look like

I would definitely buy it back if I were you. Even if you decide not to keep the car, you can swap over the parts onto a new project car. I used to have a 92 Si that got tboned and the insurance company totaled it. I bought the car back for $1300 and swapped over all my parts to my 94 Si I have now. I then turned around and sold the wrecked Si and broke even.

Buy it back. I bought my 92 SI back for 600. Parted it out on this site. I don't think I have made all my money back yet, but I still got the D16z6. I just hooked everyone up with miscelaneous stuff they needed. Its pretty fun tearing it apart too.

I’m surprised that they didn’t take the engine.

Buy it back, but only if you let me shave the key holes. It's already got the sticker!
