Default Cracked Strut mount

This is a bit hard to explain....I hit a curb when I lost controal crushing my wheels, bending my tire rod, and blowing out my strut. I had all this replaced, but while it was being fixed it was discovered that the hole that my sturt mounts too dented, and then two of the holes that the strut goes into cracked. My question is, what is the cheapest way to fix this? Would Bolt Caster Camber plates fix this problem with out running the risk of hitting somthing hard and beraking everyting again? Does anything need to be done? Help me out guys! Thanks!

(My car is a 2000 V6 convertible if thats needed)

A bolt-on caster/camber plate will reinforce the area, but wont stop the crack from growing. You need to take it somewhere that can weld up the cracks before the top of the strut tower comes apart due to stress.
