Well damn. You've probably already thought about this ... but you should start setting your insurance company up to think about the idea that they should buy this car and let you buy a new one.
Given the grief you've gone through and the more extensive damage, you should let them know now that if the car doesn't look and drive perfect you won't be signing off on it. After all ... if the adjuster missed the damage to the diff, what else did they miss?
Another thing to consider is the hit to your wallet by way of reduced re-sale value ... how are you to be compsnesated for that?
If I were you I'd start looking for ways to convince the insuracne company that buying you a new car is in their best interest.
