91 240 Crashed May Be Done

My daughter is fine so is the other driver but she is not happy to be losing her old friend of about 8 years.

She hit the left rear of a VW SUV with her right front it folded up the fender and inner fender pretty good and I am concerned the right strut tower may have been pushed back. The impact originally hit on the bumper but eventually road over the bumper doing all the sheet metal damage. The hood has shifted back about 3/8 " on the right side and overlaps the cowl by about a 1/4 " the hinges don't look like they have shifted or slid back.



I have made this repair i.e. straightened the inner fender, part of the unibody on another 240 but it was not as folded up as this one. That repair required a fender and radiator support.

What kind of measurements can I make to confirm damage? Any insight is appreciated.


Thanks
Dan
