04 Honda Civic EX 1.7L Vtec totaled mechanically sound need shell options
I bought my 2004 Honda Civic EX 1.7L vtec (D17 engine) new from the dealership. Since my son turned 16 I gave this car to him and he has put aftermarket performance parts on it to include: K&N cold air intake, ceramic header (4-1), new exhaust with cat-back muffler, Halo headlights, Euro tail lights, rain guards, tint windows, blue interior lights, etc.
My issue is that he was t-boned by a suburban that blew a stop sign hitting the rear driver's side door and rear axle pushing his car up into a vacant lot where his front bumper busted up and passenger rear tire buckled (see photos below)
Repairs are upwards of nearly $6K and the insurance company said they would most likely total it out and they are coming to pick the car up today.
My questions are:
Thank you for your recommendations and information to help me determine buy back and mechanical swap into a clear title shell.

My questions are:
- Should I buy it back from the insurance company since mechanically this is a very sound car and I had the engine replaced less than a year ago at 160K miles (my son has put nearly 24K miles on this so it has nearly 174K miles on the car now)?
- What are my model year and options to buy a Civic Sedan/Coupe/Hatchback to transfer the engine, transmission, exhaust, etc.
Thank you for your recommendations and information to help me determine buy back and mechanical swap into a clear title shell.
