Ouch! Daughter rear ended another vehicle. Front caved in. How to access repars. 1992 240

Hi board,
She hit almost dead center in the front. The radiator bent back and hit the fan(shattered the fan shroud). The air intake hose is bent,and of course, the plastic box that holds the air filter is history. The whole front center panel is bent back at about a 45degree angle. Impact missed the bumper. Just skimmed the top of it.

From my preliminary investigation it looks ok underneath. She drove the car, after the accident, until she noticed overheating.

It looks like I can just pull that panel out and replace radiator, headlights, signals, ac condenser, etc. Ill be taking a closer look tomorrow. what should I look for in the way of more damage that would make this not such a simple repair.
,
What a phenomenal car.

Thanks

Lawrence
