w123 torsion bar snapped between control arm and body...

my 300d's front left torsion bar has snapped, between the upper control arm and the body of the car.
the top of the control arm, ( the big open loop ) is hanging free.
The rest of the bar (that went thru said loop) is gone.

Car turns left when braking, understandably.

So, am I totally screwed or is there a fair way to repair that snapped rod?

I'm currently 45 miles from home, and wondering how much I can drive on it...
As long as I keep it slow and dont brake or turn hard, it should be ok to get it to my casa? ya?

What a wonderful day this was.

EDIT: Here's a picture...
