Here's what some of us do in Australia in a case like yours.
Work out a total write off settlement with the insurance company.
Then offer to buy the "wreck" back off them for a highly reduced amount. (The insurance company generally get scrap yard values for these cars)
Fix it yourself.

Caveat. If an Insurance company total's a car then the VIN number is listed on a government write off list. (To prevent illegal rebirth's) You must negotiate with the insurance company to see that the listing doesn't occur or listed as a repairable write off.
