race ready fb, how much?

i have an 83 fb, that i was working on for a while, it has ;
a brand new gas tank from mazda,
a rebuilt motor from mazda, with less than 6000kms on it,
mikuni 44 series carbs
headers, not rb, but still good,
a 6point full chromoly roll cage, with seatbelt bar,
but the catch is that it was in an accident, it needs a new fender and door, along with some minor repair to the rear left quarter pannel, but the structure of the car was not altered, so if you put new doors fenders on it, it would all close and lign up properly, the problem is that if you did so it would still not be icbc approved for the road, so it would need an inspection, or used for track only, or i guess you could be illegal and swap vin##, but thats bad...
i am in the vancouver area, and was wondering if anyone would be intersted, i would be able to part with it for around 1500$$, maybe less if your nice,
but i have been screwed over by icbc, and this is about my only way to get at least some of my money out of it,
by the way its got little-no rust so its a good car, just needs some lovin

Why not just register it as rebuilt? ICBC is usually pretty good about that, I believe my motorcycle is a rebuild (Writen off for bodywork). You seriously need to look into this, it'll save you a lot of money.

no, 12a, not twin mikini's one carb two throttle bodies sorry, i want to sell the car, looking into fc, i figure no offence to the first gens,( i love the cars) but if were swapping all are parts from fc's then why not just get one... so i just want to sell it, probably you in the vancouver area will see it in the buy&sell, or at least the parts on ebay, full chromoly cage and icbc is giving me 125$$$ for it, i have a recipt for 450...(just materials) and icbc says it doesnt raise the value of the vehicle, apparently niether does the gastank, which i just bought for 400$$$ with discount, (from mazda), im about to hire an apraisor so i can get a few more pennies out of it, but the motor i bought with 5000k on it and it was still runnning incredibley strong, with mikunis, and didnt get recipts, so i cant get much for that, but any help regarding icbc or anything else would be apreciateed
