Default 92 having trouble starting

Hi, I'm having a little bit of an issue here. My prelude was hit about 2 months ago, lame, but whatever. They turned the car about 90 degrees (some old people with a 5th wheeler) and I've been having problems ever since.

I had to replace the front brakes due to it, as well as the visible damage, the only thing it, that the car sat for about 2 weeks.

I went to drive off, and it wouldnt turn over at all. Just clicking. And thus, it wont start.

I cleaned the battery terminals with baking soda and water, and checked all the wiring, but it just clicks. My headlights, dash lights and stereo work fine, so I know its not the battery.

It did start once, but the turn over was really sluggish and seemed like it was about to die.

I'm thinking its the solenoid or the alternator, or some other act of god that I won't bother to guess at.

Any help is appreciated thanks!

the amps required from the battery to crank is a lot more than needed for headlights or any electricals. just a tip
