Why are you doing all this work for the Insurance company? They will likely just total the car out and send you a check for a couple of thousand dollars rather than even try and locate the parts, but either way it is their job to handle the logistics of getting it repaired. When they offer to total it out, negotiate a good figure and when you get the check then you can scrounge for parts if you want to but we all pay good money for service from these theives, let them work for you at this point would be my advice.

Also, try not to involve your (state farm) insurance if it is clearly the other driver's fault. If you collect from your collision insurance and they go after the other driver you probably will have to pay a deductible. If you go through the other driver's company and the other driver admits fault you will get 100% of the money without deductible and your rates will not be affected.
