I'm really struggling with what planet you lot are on. Yes I'd make some money breaking it but we're talking wheels brakes, suspension and body pannels.
As for putting it back on the road if I had got it out before the whole car got soaked and the electrics went stupid then yes I would just be throwing a new engine in and away we go however not knowing where the water has got into the electrics presents a problem that could mean an entire replacement loom which is a dash out job. All the interior needs stripping of anything absorbent and then washing out and draining (and that'll include the doors) and then there's the replacement engine to do too.
Even if I only put it back together with a pair of buckets and a stripped interior that would take me a solid week of working on it there is the best part of a grand needing spending on parts and having it recovered to mine, I don't have a wet vac, I don't have an engine crane, I don't have a pressure washer and I don't have a spare car to go and pick up parts with. IT IS NOT AN ECONOMICAL REPAIR!!!
This is what you pay insurance for. They'll pay out and with the money I'll just be able to go and buy another rallye!
Rallye on ebay at the moment, £3500 and in similar nick to mine
