Having a hard time finding a shell... and it would be a lot more work probably to move everything over, so I need an estimate on how much this would cost...
It looks like I will need the following parts.
92-95 Civic 2dr Hood - **mint**
92-95 Civic 2dr fenders-both sides
92-95 Civic 2dr drivers-side door
92-95 Civic 2dr oem front bumper
92-95 Civic 2dr oem front lip
92-95 Civic USDM or JDM 2dr headlights
92-95 Civic radiator support
92-95 Civic radiator
92-95 Civic AC Condenser and Condesor fan
So I crashed the car not to long after I created this post. I really need these parts now.

Can you say Dammit!!

Motor still good though...

Might cost more to fix than to just find a shell in decent shape. I know you say it's hard, but it might actually be worth the wait in the end.
i say take everything off thats broken and see if the frame is still straight from the looks of it i think your gonna have to replace more than the shell is worth
Depending on how bad the strut towers and or inner fender(apron's) are, looks like 5,000-8,000 worth, its a guess ive done a lil estimating, but looks like you got at least one trip the the frame rack and alot of front end pieces
it really doesnt look all that bad to me....looks liek the same amount of damage that happened to my buddies eg. that one picture where you can clearly see the driver side frame rail looks like you missed the bumper support, frame completely and jjst messed up the rad support and some sheetmetal. we put a new rad support on his car ourselves... 20 bucks from the junkyard. plus the money for some new body peices... i dont see it being over 1500 bucks to fix 100%. hard to say w/out seeing it in person though.
p.s. take a look at the seems where all the body panels meet up and see if they look straight. (trunk lines, passenger door line, etc). if they look ok chances are youre frame is aok - just get an alighnment when all is said and done.

the frame is not damaged... the inner fender might be a little twisted at the corners, but the car went under a van so most of the damage was done to the radiator support and fender tips

dude, if thats the case absulutly nopt a big deal at all man. dont even worry about it..... you can go to a jubnkyard and drill one off a car, or go to ebay - search civic radiator support and buy one for cheap. then find someone w/ a welder and weld that ish on your g2g

I consider myself mechanically inclined, but I'm not confident enough to weld on a piece of the car that could severly impact how the body lines up. I want the car to look good in the end, and I don't think I could do that. How much should a body shop charge me if I supply the parts... I figure I might as well get the whole thing painted too.

damn...I just threw out a BRAND NEW 92-95 Radiator Support that I had laying around. Sorry man...If you're going to fix it...good luck dude!
pretty easy fix. i bought new fenders hood and bumper cover with new lights and core support/radiator support for about 300 bucks and then paint etc after. my car was just as easily damaged as yours and might i ad it is a 93 civic hatch.

id say just to weld on the support, if youre gonna take the old one off, it will save you ALOT of money, and all it is is drilling tack welds. but just to weld it id say like 100 - 150 bucks, but to do the whole job upwards of 300
