You look like you live in the rust belt. How rusty is your rig? Factor this in.

If it is still solid, jack it up, crawl underneath and look at the frame. Find the front of the frame rail and follow it back. Look how far it is moved out of position. Will it need a frame pull? That's not cheap.

Like was said above....make a list of what you need. Go get the parts from the junk yard(s). Don't worry about the paint. Bonus is it looks like your hood escaped? That's definitely a bonus. Front bumper and grill, etc do NOT need to be gotten right away. Those are easy to put on yourself...and ebay has cheap ones.

If it were me, I would start unbolting everything, making a list and calling around for parts. If it needed a frame straightening, I would take it in for that and get the inner fender straightened and then back to my place to put parts back on.

But if you don't wrench much, gathering the parts will save you. Just make sure you have GOOD parts. Parts that fit. Don't get a 2002 fender if you don't know for sure it will fit. Used parts that the body guy needs to fudge around with will cost you.
