Shouldn't your insurance company be making this decision?

I wouldn't go for that. No matter how much you love the car. I went that route once when I was younger and I had ongoing problems with the car. Plus, like you said, you will never be able to sell it. Sorry to hear about this!!

Exactly. Sounds like a write off. Do NOT get it repaired. Hopefully it works out.

Bent frame rails can be tricky but not always total the car...
Anything in front of the shock towers can almost be fixed but once you go deeper into cross members, front end/suspension components you have no guarantees of a 100% fix.
The only way to make sure of that is to cut everything at the firewall and go with new rails and shock towers from there, but it almost always total the car.

Good luck.
