There is always the probability that rather that bending the frame, the curbing impact dorffed either the upper, lower control arms or the spindle. A closer look will determine which. It's too early to give up on the car, but this question would best be answered by a professional (Body Shop) or other. It really needs to be looked at.

Your query about the clutch? It's hydraulic (and a closed system)
Illustration:



Most likely you are low on Hydraulic (brake DOT 4 or 5) fluid, sucked in some air and you now have lost sufficient travel to keep from completely releasing the clutch.
Inspect the systems' reservoir (#20) for sufficient fluid and refill as required. Inspect the system for any apparent leaks, either from the Slave Cylinder (10) or the clutch Master Cylinder (#7). Repair as required (if Ness).
Bleed the system (same procedure as the brakes) from the slave cylinder (#10) via bleeder screw (#1)
If after all this you still suffer from pedal travel issues, the Clutch Master Cylinder may be internally corroded, and will require replacing.

thank you very much for the info. actually i replaced lower arm, tie rod ends, and still the position is not improved. mechanic told me that the front right shock is tilted, and the body frame's bent. and also i noticed when i go in first gear and i release the accelerator at rpm2500, it seems the car brakes by itself and then it comes to normal. u know what i am saying right. when i release accelerator , somehow i feel the car slows down and there is pressure on engine and then it comes normal

In what direction does the tyre tilt? In (or Out) on the top?

All is not lost though. Better equipped Body Shops have both the equipment (Guide Chart Machine) and the reference materials needed to pull the frame/box section back into compliance.

The question you're facing (really) is "Do I want to continue to put money (Canadian) into a '92 Chassis"?
You may find that along with the money you DON"T spend on fixing this PLUS the money you could recover from selling it AND some contribution on the part of your Bank Account, you could find yourself into a sweet, low milage '97 SE or EX.

(so I'm partial ok? )
