Default 1995 Honda Accord Accident Repair

i got into a wreck a few days ago and damaged the driver side of the front of my car. The car still drives but the radiator is bent back on the driver side and the air conditioning fan makes a strange noise when it is on. The headlight is smashed but the lights still come on. Can anyone give me advice on where to start with the repairs?

The first thing you need to do is to bend the radiator support back to its original position.

Some people use a come along attached to a tree and others have hook a chain/tow strap to it and another vehicle to pull it back. After that, you'll need to evaluate what else needs to be done.

Thank you, I'll try that. the body is misshapen and dips down about an inch too at the bottom, what should be done about that?

Take off the front bumper and evaluate the components underneath.
It could be that the bumper mount or inner structure bent down and needs to be pulled up and forward.
Looks like the grille ate a truck bumper. Probably nose dived into it, and when the car stopped the suspension tried to raise the nose back up but was caught under the rear bumper.
