IMO i don't think it is worth fixing. It would probably be easier to part it save money and buy a new one.

the pictures are hard to see the extent of the damages.
if you could post one probably twice the size it would help.

core supports can (normally) be found on ebay just over ~$100.
welding them in isn't not too bad, but takes some patience and lining up accurately.

airbags, airbag sensors (attached to core support on either side of the radiator), and airbag ecu will need to be replaced (obviously) which can be an expensive piece on its own.

Insurance would probably total this car out (even better chance if there is frame damage).

Not worth fixing, just part it out and get what you can from it. frown.gif

defentally part it out...you will make so much more then if you were going to sell it as a whole...you can proably strip that car to nothing and then send the shell to the scrap yard and get more money...everything on that car thats in decent condition will sell...sorry about your car man but pick another one up thats nice and make some of your money back by parting out the one you have....good luck
