Unhappy problems, problems, problems

Ok, I seem to have a serious problem. My front passenger side has a massive positive camber problem. Its been narrowed down to the struts. What caused this was a not so nice meeting between the curb & my car. Which according to the associates @ Firestone i'm going to need new struts & bushings.

So i'm at a bit of a cross road. To keep the car & fix it or to just pull out now & try & find another one. I don't know if it is really worth it to go through with fixing this. Mainly because it's still an automatic. Along with it's a base model SE. Which don't get me wrong would make a very nice sleeper. I guess wht i'm asking is, what do the people of RX-7 club think I should do? This may seem massively stupid, but I respect most of you alls opinion mainly because you've been through it once or twice before.

Which bushing are they saying need to be replaced? Just the shock mount bushings? And are they saying to replace both front shocks?

They are talking about all of the struts. The front ones are bent & the rear ones have locked up some how. The bushings they are speaking of i'm guessing are the strut ones
I just wished this wouldn't have happened now because I had planned on changing all these needed parts out in the future with perfomance parts(Tokico Illumina struts & Energy suspension complete Hyper-Flex system)

By the looks of it, this will be going up for sale. I really don't want to go through through all this & still be in the same place I am(That place being at the bottem of the food chain) A friend of mine has a white 87 w/ a street port S4(88) motor. Plus it's already manual, no conversion needed. Also the 18s I bought originally came off his car, so I guess they were really meant for that car. Lets just hope all goes right. Project SE(Sleeper Edition) will still be under way. Wish me luck to all who want a new 7 in the scene. If things work out & I do get this. Vortech will be getting a call because I really want to proceed with the centrifigal supercharger build-up.
