i reckon you could get that fixed. You could source the rear bar, taillight, and glass pretty easily maybe even a new rear hatch if need be.
Then get a panel beater to knock the rear quarter out. However, your chassis could be bent.

yeah I'm pretty sure it can be fixed but it is probably going to cost more to fix it then to right it off so the insurance company will probs just right it off :(

thats what i was thinking when i saw it, it looks repairable, some tank pipe, panel work and suspension...

whats the rear suspension? rear beam? if so its def repairable, multi-link is much harder
but how much is the car worth? anything less than 5k(the car value) and its a write off

yeah it's probs worth $5000 at most so most likely a right off because it needs at least one rim and tyre if they can still get my rims if not a whole new set of rims and tyres a number bar a beaver panel and rear light a rear quarter glass most of the LH rear suspension and probs a whole new LH rear quarter panel because I'm missing a square foot of it which is stuck in the front of the bus lol and that's from what I can see and I'm not a panel beater
