Default Is the 1998 v6 camaro shell the same as a 2000 ss camaro??

Crashed my 2000 ss. Lost traction in the rain, the rear slid out to the right, my front driver's side went intto the guardrail, i steered back to the right, then my driver's side rear quarter hit the guard rail.
I looking at options to repair it but am losing hope... took the front fender off and the metal inner fender is crushed like a can, front radiator suport thing is bent down and in. Read quarter smashed, left side cavity in trunck is smashed in a bit.

Wondering if a 1998 v6 camaro could be used as a donor car? .i can get on pretty cheap and use the front and rear bumper covers quarter panel but not sure about the inner metal fender, the left side in the trunk and the front radiator support/ frame. Anybody know?

The body of the v6 and v8 cars is exactly the same unless someone says otherwise.
I had my v6 convertible 2001 which now has everything from a T-top 2002 z28.

Thanks bad_408, jus wanted to check before i put the sawzall to the car at the junk yard...
anyone know if the front support/ frame cross piece the radiator is attached to is removable or at least spot welds can be drilled out or am i better off having a shop try to repair and pull the original piece back to straight? Its just the driver's side bent down, back, and in a little and causing the base of the air intake to not sit flat on the metal support
