Default 2000 Camaro messed up after wreck...

Went and picked my buddies 2000 Z28 from the body shop yesterday, he had the front quarter panel/strut/schock/wheel destroyed by a hit and run. Got in his car and man is it messed up. The main issue I'm seeing is his clutch pedal only comes out a 1/4 of the way that it used to! Its also hard to shift gears or downshift also. I've got a vette, I don't know how different they are, but I have read that if the clutch pedal is "stuck", it is due to your master slave cylinder being messed up. Any thoughts?

Does the pedal come all the way up if you pull it up with your hand?

Sounds like there's air in the line. Could try bleeding first, and/or inspecting for leaks. The master cylinder is right there behind the wheel well, so if the wheel well moved, I could see the master getting cracked and letting the hydraulic pressure loose.
