Default Body work help

Would it be worth fixing? It's a 1995 honda accord. After a rear end accident. The radiator is broken and leaked out coolant, the radiator bar is broken.

Just from what I can see in the pictures, the radiator support needs replaced along with the headlights. I also see a bulge on the subframe inside the engine bay above the tire. It looks like the subframe got pushed in. You'd need and a/c condenser and a radiator. Then there is the damage that we can't see. Also the hood will need replaced.

Repairing this correctly will require welding for the radiator support and possibly piecing parts of the sub-frame. Taking to a body shop will exceed the cost of finding a replacement. Even a DIY repair with junkyard parts might be more than the cost of a replacement.

I'd price out a similar or maybe newer accord to get a cost and compare to the DIY cost.

I'd lean towards getting a replacement vehicle.
