If it shoved the subframe forward it could have shoved the differential/driveshaft into the rear of the trans a bit, possibly damaging something or damaging some seals. Was it leaking any fluid after the impact?

If it was hit hard enough to crumple panels it is probably not worth repairing the car. The safety factor has been compromised.
