Default 97 ek coupe, front wont line up! W/PIX

so i bought the car salvaged with it being hit on the driver side and the car u can see is not lining up...it looks like the radiator support/bumper support went down a couple inches making the girll not line up with the hood,but also taking the headlights with it,with the front bumper. i went to a few auto body shops and they said that my car's frame shifted to the right after it got hit, and they have to make the whole front end frame straight again..a mechanic told me to get a bumper support/radiator support/"t-bar" and get it weld it on,in the same time getting everything lined up as they do it,so i want peoples input on how this problem can be solved before i dump a whole lot of $$ thinking its such a big problem when in fact,theoretically speaking, the radiator support just nneed to be pulled up. PLEASEEE HELP MEEE

this is the pic the biggest flaw.


this is how the headlight lines up with the bumper in the bottom, also tellin me that the place where my headlights are mounted are also F*&([ed] up. or just got bent down from the accident along with the bumper and such

take a pic under the hood. you will need to pull the frame. what are some of the quotes you got so far for alignment of the frame?
