Gen1 Insight - frontend accident = $1500 EV conversion?

So I found this on CL and asked if he'd be willing to part it out on his own instead of selling the whole thing. He said he's not ready to do that yet, but would reduce it to $1550 for me. I don't really have the money, but if I were to, should I jump on this like flies on crap? I'm not sure if the AC motor can be removed or if the controller would be of any use anywhere but in partnership with an Insight ECU, but all those components, the inverter, the NiMH pack!

I don't mind if anyone else snatches this up because it seems pretty awesome, I'm just not sure. I also asked about the rims, so if anyone from here nabs this, I got dibs on those, k? please?
