fenders, hood, core support, nose, lights, radiator and fan are the obvious ones
You can obtain straight ones of those at a junkyard for not too much at all.
After you get all of those off, check out your suspension. I realize it was a head-on, but check to make sure you didnt bend your crossmember, or bend a tie-rod, or anything like that. If you had full coverage, and your insurance company will pay you for the car, then I'd say just go get another one, and transfer parts. Otherwise either junk the car, or rebuild it. It'll take more time than money to fix

megaracerx2 that is almost how mine looked a month ago when i got into an accident. fortunately the driver side fender didn't get hurt. It is 100% fixable the longest time will be waiting/finding the parts shouldn't take more than two weeks to fix once you have everything. sorry about your luck but i hope everything works out for you

well, everything from the forward is trashed....maybe with some bending i can save the core support (directly in front of the radiator)
also, about parts. i have to see if i can borrow my aunts truck, and then go from there.
