Default R.I.P.-XR is now an expensive wreck!

Well unfortunately yesterday afternoon turning into my street I lost traction in the wet looped the car up the gutter and into a tree. Dont know how it happened but it happened so quick there was nothing I could do about it once it started sliding.
Ive posted pictures of the damage to get peoples opinions on what I should do now! Considering its an XR and what i presume is structural damage repair is out of the question!
Fact of the matter is when it happened some people from across my street came out and started having a go at me and claiming im a "hoon" and I always drive like a "HOON"! I have no idea who these people are and have never seen them before and anyone who knows me knows im a very sensible driver who never engages in any "HOON" type of behaviour!
In the end they called the police and told them that im a "HOON" or whatever so i was interviewed and released without charge but am expecting a summons home delivered for Reckless driving and some other possible traffic offences!
I will not be able to claim this on insurance if i am charged which i am 95% sure will happen, so now ive got a 10,000 dollar wreck in my driveway.

I would like peoples opinions on what the best option is for me, the following scenarios are all i can think of at the moment so any advice or help would be appreciated:
-Buy a cheap/straight EA/EB/ED and transfer my engine, exhaust, suspension, wheels , diff over to that and then sell the shell etc. as a wreck or spares.
-Just buy a cheap e-series and keep the EL for a rainy day
-Sell the entire car as is.
and thats all i can really think of at the moment.
All and any advice welcomed!
