Depends where it hit, if it belted directly into the front of the car and ijto the motor, without a doubt it'd require at a minimum a full tear down to check everything for straightness or internal damage..

beyond that, if the motor has shifted back, this means one, or both of the chasis rails has moved, meaning it has EXTENSIVE structural damage and i would highly recomend you turn it into parts

Its very hard to say you need to inspect very thorough , look for bent front rails . It could be just engine mounts broken or bent rails , pushed back A pillars to a completely bent floorpan . Check to see3 if the doors open and close easy and the gaps on all the doors .

This isnt a black S15 is it

Aside from the chassis damage, if the harmonic balancer has been impacted it's possible there's internal damage to crank thrust bearings, etc

RU34ME: Anything is repairable as long as you have it done the right way and by the right person it can be as good or even better than when new. But whether it is worth fixing is another story all together.
