Looks like quite a bit of frame damage - could get expensive to fix that one back up.

With the way the modular frame is, if the castings aren't broken, I don't think it'd be terrible to repair. Hard to tell from the photo though. The castings are stir friction welded, and I have to wonder if you can even get them from GM or not. The front extrusions are pretty basic though. Hard to tell from the pics. I have full fabrication ability in-house though, I'd front half that car if necessary, put all the widebody on it and build it. If it were manual of course.
