Default SC300 1996 what should I plz help

Ok My girl drove straight into the curb. It didn't hurt the body but she cracked my engine cradle and completely demolished the rack and pinion! That's just half when the cradle split it pulled the motor mount right out of my 2JZ-GE block. I really love this car what should I do ???

Replace the engine mount and rack and pinion? I know that doesnt help much but I would just look around for some used units and do the labor yourself. Hows the rack itself damaged? Tie rod bent?

Ok, on a serious note, if your 100% there is no lower frame damage, replace the parts that were damaged and call it a day.

What's up Michael

Make a list of what all you need and I will see what parts I have available if you decide to fix it. I don't have the rack anymore or control arm on pass side, but I may have some other stuff.

Default Frame damage

Well i got a used rack from a salvage along with the Engine cradle. The thing is the frame is crumpled slightly(air bags went off). My big question here >>>Is having the frame pulled worth it? Will it ever be straight? By the way thanks for all the feedback!!
