From personal experience, another procedure well worth observing is doing a thorough inspection of any "outside" work done on your car.
I could have lost my old Alfa (thankfully still with me) after having an immobiliser installed a few years back. The installer draped the wires over the top of the pedal assembly, and after a week of driving, the sharp edge on the top of the pedals had cut through insulation on the wires and smoke started to come from under the dash. Immediate panic stop and a quick disconnect of the battery stopped it before it had a chance to take hold.
I'm part way through my FIA build now, and what you have described makes me shudder. I hope it works out with the insurance company and you can get back in the (Cobra) seat again.
Cheers,
Glen
