@wetnoodle,
My friend has got your car in his smash repair shop today, and he will let you know whether write off or not. My friend told me that normally if the chassis,floor and firewall are damaged, the car may be write off.
By law you need all of those damaged in order to be write off.
However, if there are 2 of them damaged, most likely will be very expensive to repair, and become write off.
I will keep you inform.
