old 3rd gen to new 3rd gen swappable parts

just wondered about the swappable parts/ un swappable parts from a early model(83) to a late model(90-92) camaro. reason i ask is cuz my 83 z28 jus got rear ended and is gonna be writtten off. i plan on getting a newer 3rd gen cuz i just love this gen of camaros. should i buy it back if price is right for a parts car??

is the suspension usable?(all the stamped pieces were swapped out for a full BMRs chromoly suspension setup. Panhard bar and ladder bar are heim/rose jointed pieces, control arms are poly bushings, BMRs race springs, and the front end is also a coilover conversion. also have a bmr torque arm bar with the adjustable end.)
interior peices??
body parts?
thanks for the help in advance

Pretty much everything will swap between 82-92. Some parts may be differnt (dash style, sway bar size, etc)...but they will swap.

yea what he said...

id buy it back swap some parts over and then part it out, or even try to sell it to someone that would want to fix it. All the insurance company is going to do is sell it to a junk yard where its going to go to the crusher... might as well make some money off of it parting it out... my
