The a pillar is wacked...
A new door shell just won't line up right.
How's the bottom of your dash by the door panel?

There will be a supplement upon tear down, most likely.

Sorry about your bad luck.
Hope you get it to a good shop and the Insurance won't do a half *** claim.

Good luck man.

Forget what I just said...
You posted those last pics too fast for me lol.
I see you're in good hands.

Glad your not too much worse for the wear, skillful. A good shop will have her back to new sans any frame damage.

Wow, your last pics posted just as I posted this... Nice job.

only problem with selling it is she just lowered the resale value at least a grand by running into you and having the car come with redone bodywork paperwork

Sorry about your car. At least it doesn't look totaled. Should be fixable.

Riptide summed it up best! After being in a nasty wreck on my Harley a few years back (which was replaced with the 'Stang) that had nothing to do with me or what I was doing (just someone else who needed their head pulled out of there a@@), I am overly aware of "what everyone/thing" is doing when I am on the road these days.

Man that really sucks as your car looked sweet... glad you were not hurt! Hopefully they make her good as new!
