Hi Josh. Bummer to hear about your van but glad to hear everyone is OK. You are not alone! Two winters ago my wife and I hit black ice near Mammoth, CA and slid across 4 total lanes (2 of them oncoming traffic) spinning 180 degrees in the process before rolling onto our side after hitting the snowbank. Scary for sure but we both walked away with no injuries. Van was totaled by the insurance company.
1. Dumb question considering the timeframe but....Do / did you have insurance? If so was it "stated value" insurance? If not its a hard lesson learned for you...but next time around make sure you get stated value insurance. There is a guy a ton of people have used on this forum with Safeco Insurance. I think his name is Christopher Gainok.
2. I am assuming the insurance window is closed being that it was last year and you still have the van. Depending on what is damaged and what your skill level is I think would determine price to fix. If you were going to pay somebody to do it in this economy it could be brutal. Check out this thread. This guy DIY'd it and made money when he sold --

3. Your parts (drivetrain etc...) are worth money for sure. Again depending on your skill to remove etc..will dictate if its worth it. Looks like you are in Oregon? There is a legendary guy on this forum named MG that runs a shop called MG Metal Works somewhere near Portland. He would be the ultimate resource if you could get his input.

4. There are tons of crafty very highly skilled people on this forum, or the greater internet, that I am sure would love to buy your van as it sits.

YMMV just my $0.02 after going through all of this myself. I almost bought my old van back from CoPart and went down the road you are but my wife gave me the reality check that I have nowhere near the skill set to take on a project like this lol. Ended up getting an insurance check and waiting patiently for another van to come up for sale. Good luck!
