12a engine parts useable?

I tore down my blown 12a today, and i'm not sure whats in "ok" shape and whats garbage.. nothing looks good. haha

Front rotor.. all apex seals intact when removed


Front housing.. looks terrible


Rear rotor.. one broken apex seal, cause of the gouge?


Rear housing..


Sorry the housing pics aren't full.. but I caught the worst parts of each one
Is any of this useable? or do I have a nice set of door stops

Rear housing is probably not worth rebuilding with..
Maybe i'll build a clock or something haha

From: here, where ever that is.
lol. screw it. Im guessing that when I get my 12a out and torn apart its going to look a lot like that, only no blasted apex seals. But Im going to go ahead and rebuild it and find either little car to drop it in or build a buggy to put it in. Though thats a few years away.
