Just depends on how bad the internal damage is and if there is any structural damage and getting the required parts to FLL to get it fixed.

It a west plane, A/C 679AW an A320 delivered in 10/06, a west plane, and it definitely needs the tailcone and empanage replaced.

You sure about what you just said? The empennage replaced?
 
It's really doubtful the empennage will need replacing based on the photos. It may take quite a teardown for inspection though. Somehow, I doubt the control surfaces, horizontal stabilizer and vertical fin (parts of the empennage) will be replaced.
