Housing Reusable?

Pulled the engine apart last night, well actually it practically fell apart once the tension bolts were out. I broke 2 apex seals somehow. One in the front and one in the rear. The rear housing is a little damaged. Im going to attach some pictures of it and you guys tell me if its reusable.

I have a good condition housing (for front) if you want one. I have absolutley no use for it (came out of a spare engine i had) so just make an offer if you want it at all.

The housing is trashed, the rotor looks ok to me, as long as none of the scoring on the face is protruding.

If the scoring on the rotor is protruding... get a stiff wire brush wheel for your bench grinder and smooth it down. Make sure you mask off the sides of the rotor so no metal or debris gets in there. I'd hate to have you wreck a rebuild from the oil passages out.
