Picture of replacement thermostat and damaged one.

If the mechanical components of your thermostats are broken, you wouldn't want to reuse them. Those are stamped sheet metal parts not exactly the best for rework under those conditions.

The active component of common thermostats is a wax-based compound that is formulated to expand or contract in a given temperature range.

Your car would run without a thermostat, it just wont' do so optimally. Besides its costlier to repair again unless you personally enjoy tinkering with your ride.
