Its fixable but for what it would cost, Id just find another shell and pull your swap. The frame rails are swayed so thats major and would need to be put on a frame machine.

It possible you can fix it but depend if you know anything about body shop work, and do you have access tools to do it?

dont fix it. buy something new. cost outweighs the gain. even if you paid a shop to swap that motor out and into your new car, you'd still be WAY ahead of the game on cost and you'd have a car that wasn't previously mangled.

Esp if the frame is bent any time you bend a metal it loses strength

fixable, yes, would i want to fix it? no, the car is so structurally damaged your better off just getting another integra and pulling your parts out of that one and swapping them on.

I work Collision shop...

I see you need Front clip.., just find a front clip and put back together..
Frame rack machine and measure set up is require. get Front core support, Fenders R/L and Aprons n Fender frames.. alot of money.. i would call Junk yard for front clip and put together it more easier.

ZING!!!!!!!!!!!!! but seriously get a jdm front end and you would be set, obviously it would need set up, measured, pull the old rails into place. depending how the pull splice them in by the towers, weld in the front apron sections up to the strut towers. its actually not a bad hit, but i work at a bodyshop so its easier said than done to me.
