Oh, and another thought, if they try to total it you can argue the amount. As long as the car is pretty clean, which it looks to be from the pics, and you keep your cool when you debate the amount you can try and talk them out of totaling it.
My 87, orange car in my sig, had a bunch of tree branch damage from an ice storm a couple years back. They wrote $2,200 on the estimate, then tried to total it and send me a check for $700. I laughed at them, spoke to a couple different people and explained how the car has had such and such done to it and is worth far more than a stock uncared for example. They eventually caved, sent the full check for the appraisal, and politely told me not to ask for any supplements lol.
Sometimes that works though. But, not always. Best way is to have an appraisal for value in hand and insure the car for that value. Otherwise it can be a pain.
