Sorry to hear it :(
Hope you're ok and nobody was hurt/injured in the process, and also hope you get something back from insurance. I'm guessing it was the Bravo's fault (fail to give way)?

The good news is, you will get more from insurance than you would from selling the car, so at least you can start over again on a car of your choice (AU/BA/Pulsar/camry whatever).

At least you are OK .... but by the looks of the photos ... I doubt it's a write-off ... looks like it's repairable ... if something else was bent though (chassis rail ... roof buckle) .... then they'd write it off.

You will be able to get your personal effects from the car, and if you have replacement parts, you can remove anything that isnt listed on your insurance policy. Better do it ASAP though. i know a guy who knows a guy who dated a guys sister who got some extractors and a tickford intake from a write off XR6 at said guys panel shop... These good parts disappear pretty quickly!

Bugger. It was a nice car. At least you're still here with us to tell the story. Good luck with your recovery.

Well good to see your ok.
To be honest and im no expert, but i think that is repairable, so hopeful y you are back on the road in your AU or atleast with a fat cheque in your hand soon.
