The front clip is the easiest thing to do, unless the radiator core is crunched. Then it may require some cutting and welding. I hope they are the same color. Or just run with the rainbow car.

I wouldn't waste time with a used top. They should interhange but, that is a lot of glueing and stapling or stiching

That's a tough call, looks like the unibody up front is crunched, too. Are you against swapping drivetrains? It could be easier...
