Insurance companies seem like a major treat to work with when it comes to cruisers. Knock on wood I don’t have to anytime soon and I feel for your challenges @Jczajka
For the front, just thinking our loud but don’t all those bumper supports cover off if you put on an aftermarket bumper. Maybe like a budget one like a Tjm. Also a bunch of aftermarket radiator and surrounding parts are available from reputable logos like denso so fixing those could be a bit cheaper than oem. If you’re hellbent on oem, impex is way cheap on some things
Seems like ur buddy got ur back on cheaper body and paint so find some fenders and a hood from a wreck and play on!
Just a few random thoughts. Even if the seas parted and they offered you 12k it seems like you got a lot of baseline doll hairs invested
