They all bring an extra chassis, along with two or three bodies. The Top Fuel teams bring at least one entire extra car. The car itself is actually relatively "cheap" by pro racing standards. They are pretty darn simple. The tubular chassis is actually considered a "wear item", I don't think they last a dozen runs. They just start cracking welds and stuff, it's cheaper and safer to build a new one than to chase that.
The motors get repaired. The crank, rods, camshafts, and other such items are rarely harmed. The blocks get welded back together and remachined. That's simpler than it sounds, since they are now made without water jackets. So, in the end, most of the stuff is salvageable and is reused.
