Default Is this car a lost cause?

Hey everyone! I remember I first joined this community after I bought my first car in Summer of 2019, a 1992 Honda Prelude Si. Recently I was rear ended and had a good amount of damage done to the trunk, bumper, and rear body panel. I'm coming here to see if anyone would be able see if this is fixable or a lost cause. I know these cars aren't much but it means a lot to me.







Thank you in advanced!

The cost to repair it correctly is going to far exceed the value of the car.

Pull out the worst of it and just drive it?

That's what I was thinking since my car is more than likely going to be totaled. I own a copy of the body repair manual but body work is something I've never touched.

Maybe you can find one that was wadded up in the front and salvage what you need. I was surprised that I could buy a new after market hood for $170 on the net so you might even find new parts.
