Not sure if the right section but
Backstory rear wheel stubs were due for a change, going home from city one night and rears fly off..
Nuts were stripped and car collided into a sign. No casualties other than the car itself, no insurance either :(

What can i do at this point? My options etc? First time this has ever happened.
attached are pics.
Damage to the radiator support frame with both lights smashed, rhs fender/gaurd bent.
Bonnet bent into radiator area.
rear bumper cracked, rear wheel hubs looks okay..
the way it supposed to go around the brake disc is bent.

Getting someone to come have a proper look and give a quote tmw.
I'm bummed out enough, so please unless its contributing don't reply with a smart ass comment.

I think it looks repairable, im attempting this kind of fix on a falcon at the moment, if you can find another with an intact front end and your handy you could strip off the broken stuff and simply transfer, could take along time though.

Is the main rails and foundations straight still?

From observation both under and above, the main rails seem to be straight, it's just the right side fender/guard that appears to be bent( I'll remove parts tomorrow to have a clearer view) , I have been told that if its just the radiator support frame, I could find a spare frame and get a panel beater to do some welding and picking.

No spacers, the rear wheel stubs were due for replacement as 2 were shorter than the rest, the rears didnt give enough time for warnings and right side flew off then the pressure snapped the left side.
Removed most of the broken bits, Only damaged bits appear to be radiator support frames which can be unbolted and replaced/ welded on.
