I missed this post, sorry for getting hit. Still looks like a nice ti!
I had the same thing happen in my 91 318ic Vert (Bert) last year. A kid with a suspended license texting on his cell phone didn't see me at a stop sign. I couldn't get off the line fast enough before I got hit. Geico could not find any other 318ic's in a 1000 mi radius and found a nice one at a dealer in Utah. Similar payout, however my salvage buyback was $1200, so you scored.
All is straight in my car as well, but Bert got tagged as salvage. Still driving around. I may part it out if it dosen't pass California inspection for salvage title later this year, as I was renewing it when it got hit so there's lotsa new/desireable parts in it.
Your rear panel looks workable working from the inside. You should be able to rub the back portion right out... (supprized that hasn't been said yet.
) Get one of these to pull from the outside if you're inclined.

If you do end up parting it out, (which I really hope you dont...) can I get in line for a few items please. The 3 spoke steering wheel. If you have a lower x-brace and/or an upper strut brace dibs there too please.
If you have Cruise Control, I'd be interested in all the components (Actuator, stalk, brake switch, harnesses) as well as the OBD.
Cheers!
