Buy back my 4th gen with AE VLSD?

alright guys,

Well my car was totalled last week by some kid that was driving while on his cell phone. insurance wants to give me 3493 for my car plus i get to pull the exhaust, intake and cd player out of the car. i have the option of buying the rest of the car back for about 600 bucks. the whole front end is SMASHED but the engine and tranny are ok, just body damage. U guy think i should buy it back and just part it out? ive got a AE vlsd tranny with only 65.5k miles in it. heres a list of big items i could part out.

AE lsd Tranny about 65.5k miles
got the tranny with 64k miles a couple months ago
about 1500 miles on new fidanza flywheel and stage 1 clutch and all manual swap parts

B&M shifter
all the grey cloth seats are good
engine is good with brand new knock sensor
cross slotted rotors in the front
tein S springs

ive gotta make a decision quick. if you or u know of someone that wants a good lsd tranny or a full auto to manual swap with ae vlsd tranny let me know. im lookin to maybe get around 1250 shipped for the full swap minus the manual ecu.

let me know what u guys think

ive definitely got the tools and the place for it. ive got a place with at least 8 covered spots to park cars and work on them comfortably if needed. ive got 2 acura integras sitting out there right now. im just wondering how much profit i would make off it. and whether the profit is worth the work i put into it. cause im getting the exhaust, intake and cd player back regardless if i buy it back or not.

Buy it back, you can probably get more than $600 for the AE tranny alone.

You could sell the AE LSD for $1000 without a problem. Almost new fidanza for a couple hundred, engine for $200 easy maybe $300-400. You can get all that stuff out of the car in probably 6 maybe 8 hours.
