Default Is this car salvageable

Alright...im in a position where i cant afford to get another car...so im stuck fixing it...heres the damage....





basically...the accident was at 25mph...the pics are horrible cuz it was taken with a camera phone...but basically...from an evalutation on scene....

radiator and ac fan fucked.....radiator support fucked....that front frame is fucked....the fenders are fixable....CF hood is obviously done for....headlights gone obviously....and bumper is salvagable. Engine is intact as well as everything else in the area....everything works and runs fine....a lot of structural damage...i know i know "get a new car" is what everyone is going to say. But if anyone knows body work...is all this fixable and how much would this cost?

the core support is also known as the radiator support. I would say the car is fixable but without looking at it in person I couldnt tell you if it is worth fixing

Looks like you are missing the bumper support.
Was it removed or does it just look like it is missing?
