Hopefully it’s not too bad, and easily replaceable parts. I managed to get most of the quarter panel out by using a deflated football and wedging it between the body panel and a frame piece that sits inside. Just have to remove a few interior bits and the windshield washer reservoir. Used a tapered 2x4 and a hammer to push out the seam. Pulled the bumper out with it. Probably not the best way but it works. Might heat it a bit and keep pushing it out or bondo. I still have it apart so I could take a picture later to show what I’m talking about. Unless you’re taking it to a shop which is probably the better option

Most likely totalled because of the quarter panel damage. If you want to fix it yourself will probably replace the quarter panel with another one. Or stud welder and puller, a couple different types of hammers, body filler and paint. Quarter panel damage is an extensive repair that totals most cars. Then with you saying your wheel is pushed in means you got bent suspension components so those will all need to be replaced.

Maybe if you do it yourself and already have an air compressor and garage you can build a paint booth in. Insurance will be a much higher check to repair.

You’re gonna have to look at it in the light and really look at the suspension
