drivers fender and rear bumper are the only cosmetic things other than surface scratches all over the car that im going to rub out tomorrow. not sure what is broken in the front suspension yet. the drivers side wheel is pointed straight and the passenger side is cocked to the right. when i turn the steering wheel bothe wheels move either direction, but something is obviously broke. just dont know what, if anyone can offer any insight it would be greatly appreciated... here are pics of everything:

On the front end I"m going to say your rack and pinion is off. Pull off the cotterpin and remove the nut holding the tie rod in place and free if from the wheel spindle. Then see if you can set the caliper straight. Look for touching and scraping when you have it aligned straight. If it's scrapping check to see if hte upper or lower A arms are bent. Also check out the alignment of your front sway bar, that also looks off in the picture.
