Front End WAY OUT!!! Help!

I recently purchased an 88 Camaro Sport Coupe last weekend. I didn't spend that much on the car. It took a hit on the drivers side and the drivers door and fender and trashed. But that is nothing that I can't fix.

Problem is that the front end is WAY out. Each wheel is sticking 1 1/2 to 2 inched OUTWARD on each side. I have it over at the body shop getting it looked at right now. The subframe didn't look knocked out to me, but you know how things like that go.

Question is, has anyone ever experienced this? Any idea on what something like this will cost me? Like a few screnario's. Thanks!!

I don't see how each wheel could be sticking outward that far; usually, it'd just be one side... maybe the front suspension took one hell of a hit, too? (Tie rods, center link, etc) Let us know what the bodyshop says!!
