Thats and easy repair. Get used parts from a salvage yard. Worst case scenario control arm and tire rod are bent. Just get the whole Control arm/hub asembly with a shock and strut. You can fix the body later. With used parts that fix is EASILY less than $500 with no paint.

i think your noobness is ruining a very important fact
this car is a GTUs do a google search if you dont know what that means. that little "s" makes a world of difference.
you need to make 100% sure that you get it back and get it restored. find some proper GTUs wheels on it and love it knowing that you have a pretty rare and sought after model of the fc. and if you ever decide you dont want it then get in touch with me

Why are so many people against taking the money?
How much would buy-back be? It can't be more than a few hundred. So you total it, buy it back, come out with some cash, enough to fix it yourself and buy another car.
So that makes it a salvage. Big deal. Were you gonna try and sell it for profit later?

You might think it's no big deal but many- myself included- do.
I won't touch a car without a clean, legit regular title...too many horror stories and hassles involved, just not worth it.
That car looks way too clean to sacrifice as a track dog.
Find a beat up base model if that's what you plan on doing.

It doesn't have a wing, has the wrong rims, and the wrong mirrors. It also doesn't have the fender stickers. Chances are it's just a normal '90 GTU, nothing special. Unless the door panel says it should have 16" rims then this is NOT a GTUs.

just means the prior owner had bad/horrible taste in mods, mid 1990's style aftermarket wheels look very dated today and stickers, and threw the wrong mirrors on. blue painted calipers on a red car? . but anyways that non-sunroof is pretty cool i havent seen too many FCs like that, if thats what determines that it might be a GTUs? But otherwise still looks like a car with potential, just replace the parts, remove the decals and a more tasteful changes should be good.

This is very true, I had this happen on a 240sx I had, which is where I got the money to rebuild my 13bt. Guy plowed into me while I was turning left and hit the rear quarter.
Bought Originally for $2550. Totaled 1990 240sx they paid me about $2500 or so, then I paid like $300 to get the car back. Had it inspected and got it titled. Another funny thing I ended selling it to a friend with the damage for $1000 cause I thought the title was salvage, turns out its not? Why, I dunno? Insurance Total is different than Frame Damage Totaled? The Car actually drove fine, it was just body damage.
Best of luck and sorry for your ride...
