I know you haven't shown pics of the side on the ground, but from what I can see I expect it's repairable. So long as the roof is okay, all body panels on side are replaceable just in case that makes more sense than body work repairs (even the rear quarter panel bolts on).
I had to replace the driver's door on my truck years ago when my then-17-year-old had an "incident". Not fun, but not difficult.

Finally got the 35s mounted up on the Kalahari wheels recovered for me by @mln01 - Thanks again!
at 3" of lift the 35s certainly required a little trimming, but I kept it as minimal as possible and I am pretty pleased with the results. Can't wait to get it out on the trail to test them out. Going to have to modify the spare tire mount now, it is neither strong enough for the weight nor high enough even flipped for the 35" spare.
Lookin' fine.

curious to see how you like the destinations! 35s sure can look just right on these. I think a 3" lift and maybe a 1" body lift might be the right match if adverse to trimming. Or portals but you know, probably not a lot of people willing to pay even though that's the true right answer for big tires on rovers imo.

Been unseasonably cold and finally had the snow melt enough to get a jack out there and see how the methods fit on the classic. Going to look great but need extended studs before I can realistically mount them up.
I know not d2 content but I just keep driving both of them and they keep chugging along.

Wow, glad she is ok. Not easy to turn over a Disco. D2 was my daughters first car too, she totaled an Acura within the first month and D2 got a steel bumper. She swapped Discos a couple of times and when she finally got a Ford Escape hybrid dropped a wheel off shoulder and overcorrected coming back and rolled it several times. She said would not have happened in D2

I also see no way that 1" more lift would prevent the need for trimming *if* you're going to wheel it. It may in a strict street usage situation. Really I think 33s are kind of the max without at least minimal trimming, as my 33s would rub just a little in the rear wheel wells at full flex, but not enough that I had to trim anything.
Of course I still rub the radius arms at full lock, but wider offset wheels or wheel spacers would necessitate more extreme trimming. Overall very happy with the setup.

Hope you're able to repair it. If insurance totals it, might buy it back. Someone will likely be interested in saving that Kalahari even if you aren't.

I've also got them on my Silverado, love em. Haven't used them off road a whole lot yet, but I will say that they are great on the road. Quieter than some ATs I've ran, and they seem to be lasting. Time will tell about off-road use, and I'll try to report back.
