Do you not have the option to get it insured as a classic? That way you can set a good payout that would keep the vandals from killing it, as you will be able to fund a rebuild. The parts are shared with the R107, so you should have a reasonable source of parts for a long while. Not so lucky with sheet metal. You might need to found a 114/115 rescue club to scour PnP for high quality body panels.
