As for remediation, I forgot to ask him if the insurance was going to declare it a total loss or go for repair (if they've made that determination yet). I did make some suggestions for pieces he might want to keep that were either unique to that car or of such higher quality than norm (e.g. grille) and replace with lesser quality ones if they were going to tow it away. Or he could buy the salvage.............again, if it's a total loss. I expect he'll reply to my morning email and fill in some more blanks.
