Default scrap or fix 04 civic ex

I crashed my honda last August, I have just been holding onto it kinda miss it lol was wondering if anyone can tell me an estimate for the damage . I provided pictures from what I know its just the frame and side fenders were pushed near doors, essentially I slid under the other car and my car became a pug. So the frame,fenders,hood,grill,headlights (still work just cracked), and the radiator just leaks out anything put into it out the bottom so it needs a new radiator. Appreciate any input currently driving a 95 e320 w124 merz miss my little honda.

Considering the damage will cost more than the car is worth, I would say scrap it.

Radiator support cant be repaired. Need to be replaced. You could save money and find used panels with the same paint code. But even at that parts alone and doing everything yourself. Its around at least $1200 in recycled parts. Plus around another $400 for a bodyshop to replace the upper radiator support tie bar. For a body shop to do the complete job, $2500-3000 at least. Might be time for the civic to retire.

Needs 2 fenders, hood, 2 headlights, 2 piece grill, radiator, front bumper, core support. You'll have to strip the front end and have a shop replace the core support. If you are wanting to have the whole car fixed by a shop, not worth it, and scrap it.
Doing everything yourself besides the core support is the only way it could be worth it.
oh, and don't forget paint, which may be the most expensive part at a shop!
