Sorry bro I'd part it she's too bad that's a fatal hit. But as always said enough beer cash and mig wire and anything is possible. You would have to clip it and that is assuming the firewall is not wrinkled up into the cowl where it ties in. The way the unibody is pushed over it had to have got up into the cowl. Best thing to do is find a v6 roller and just transfer all of your parts. Good luck

you need to find someone with a strong press and get the frame straightned out bc by the look of it the frame is bent. going to need new radiator supports, headlight assembly,front bumper, prob fog light. list goes on and check with tainted hes got the same problem.

Is that a joke? The entire front subframe is going to have to be removed. That is not a question. It would be much easier since you can't really straighten something made of that many layers of metal and still have the same structural integerty. It just won't work.
It would be easier to saw the car in half, tack the crap out of it with a good line welder. Double what the factory does. She will be better than new.
Not literaly in half, though. More towards the front. If you absolutely refuse to cut in half you still should remove the front subframe @ the firewall and repair with parts from a donor car. That is the only way you can make this a good car again without a 16K budget.
