I've clarified the intent of this post, removed some confusion and moved this back to the main IS forum.

yea the roof and window look to be easy fixes...some welding involved. The trunk lid can be replaced with a new one easily. Fender is nothing to replace.
The suspension looks iffy but if he can locate a fully crossmember and control arms...it should bolt on and an alignment shop can measure everything.
good luck with the repair.

looks like someone jumped a curb and ran over a street sign/pole. from the looks of roof and trunk damage, its probably safe to say it wasnt a street light or street name sign. it was probably a small sign like merging lanes or speed limit. if this was the case then maybe the frame wasnt bent, but pretty sure the suspension control arms are bent, maybe tie rod broken. the bumper looks intact. not too bad...
