I had to do this a little over a year ago when my sister rear-ended someone. She didn't hit as hard as your daughter did, but it was still an over-the-bumper shot and all the front end sheetmetal had to be replaced. I cut the entire nose section off a similar-colored 240 (cut by the quarter panel rivets) for $20.

It will take a few days, but there is not really anything hard about the job. Plan on replacing your water pump too, it probably shifted during the accident, and you will have easy access to it with the radiator out.
