I have only donr minor unibody straightening but I do have a complete front bulkhead and rear 1/4 sitting in the garage if I do find a bad car.
Welding on new front ends is not ghetto as long as you do it right.

ur better off, finding a shop with a frame machine, ask them how much they will charge just to straigten the frame.. odds are not much since it only takes a couple hours..
