If the airbags go let the insurance write it off, the amount of work to rectify the damage will cost a lot more than you can buy a very good car for.

I can say that detonating a 75 airbag in the garden clears numerous pigeons from the conifer tree

With the under-seat wiring there's a better chance of an airbag deploying in the garden than in the car!
