Let me shed some light on this one from some figures quoted on my car.

Front Bar $2500
Rear bar $2000
Bonnet $1500
Engine bay assembly $2000
Front guards $300 each
Rear $250 each
Windscreen

Then looks like all front suspension, brembo calipers require replacement, perhaps a couple wheels. At least 2 months of panel beating and a full respray. I'm guessing $40k or so in repairs and thats before you pull the car apart, you could find more. Car of that age and miles would be insured for not more than $50k, therefore write-off is the only option.
Those parts you quote dont come with a new shell so you are probably right, this one is has been wrtten of.
