240 Accident Damage 200 1984

A query for anyone here who has gotten in a fender-bender in their beloved 240: Can frame/unibody damage on a 240 be (relatively) easily fixed?

My 240 was involved in an accident a week ago. It got hit right on the front bumper, left-hand side. I have taken the last week to take the sheet metal on the front end apart to assess the damage. Both front fender are toast, as is the core support/front apron assembly, the bumper and the hood. I am pretty sure the front part of the unibody was bent to the right in the accident because there is a 1/2" clean space to the left of each sway bar mount and the front two mounting ears for the splash pan were broken off and moved out of alignment and the rest of the splash pan was not affected.

Has anyone here been involved in a similar accident and gotten their car fixed?

Thanks,
Nick
