Thanks again to all who commented and even offered to help me through all this!
I'm going to keep the cruiser. Will have a salvage title but I'm getting it bought back for about $1,000 so I can deal with that.
When the insurance company was figuring the cost of repairs vs value to decide if it was a total loss, they wouldn't use the agreed value to decide if it was totaled- they used the book value which was around $7,000.
The estimate for replacing most of the exterior items including tires almost $5,000 before paint.
I'll have to jump through some hoops getting it back on the road but it will be worth it.
Time to start cleaning her up!
