Default Front end damage on honda accord 1990

So last night I rear ended somebody and my driver side head light was smashed and the hood has been bent up. Everything is still working fine, but i do have a small coolant leak coming from that side.

Just to give you idea of the damage I will post some pictures, but my overall question is whether or not it is worth the time and money to try and fix this, sell as is or try and sell off its parts.

The bumper looks to have just gotten a bit of cosmetic damage and not pushed off the fender.
The area you would be concerned with that kind of hit is the top of the radiator support, and see if the radiator itself is cockeyed.
If the radiator is original the plastic tank probably cracked on the top or became dislodged.

Check online at your local Pick N Pull inventory for 90-93 cars.
Hood ~ $50
Grille ~ $20
Headlight ~ $20
If the radiator is damaged RockAuto has them for ~$60.

Peel the tip of the fender back and you could have your car back into shape for ~$150+beer. It may not be pretty but it would work. With only the hood being the tell tale sign. Might get lucky and find a like color hood in the yard.
These cars are good for a solid 250Kmiles easy.

I got a pair of headlights for that car, you pay shipping and they're yours.
