FIX IT!

Its not that bad. All you need is a new headlight, fender and hood. You can get all of them cheaply on the forums here, saving you a lot of money.
Then remove the fender and front bumper from the car and take it to a body shop so that they can pull the upper radiator support back into shape. They have special machines that can do this for not a lot of money.

Seriously, there is no reason to get rid of the car. It can be fixed. Just do as much work as you can by yourself to save money.
