Frame work question and cost of repair?

Besides the oil pan, the pump took a decent whack and because of the oil loss, I would have to assume it's a 30% chance the engine suffered some damage.

The lower support for the radiator is bent towards the back about 3 inches.

The cross member to the control arms has a 6" wide by 2" deep dent, which I am going to guess puts the front end out of whack.

The trans support bracket, which bolts flat to the body, on the right side, is bent until the bolts go from 7:00 to 1:00 instead of 6:00 to 12:00.

Question...

Anyone have framework done and what might the range of costs be?

Trying to help out a fellow who doesn't have much $$.

It feels to me like the car is toast and is better off in parts.

Any feedback appreciated.

Don

I made the decision to use this 300SD as a parts car. It has most everything I need to make the other one mint. The surgery began and the interior is out.
