NOt a body person, so I would find a good one and ask him to give you an honest opinion. I think I am seeing a lot of damage in the front to welds and suspension. That means frame warp, I assume and possible problems with the front wheel drive.
I bought a wrecked c900 that was hit in the side, so no issues with front end. Great frame shop, and a group of guys that were supposed to know what they were doing. The car drove great in the dry, but in rain and snow it got pretty squirelly, downright scary handling.
I agree with others that your car is beautiful and I understand your desire to keep it. You may find someone willing to fix it at a discount if business is slow in your area, but make sure they have a great frame machine and people who know how to use it.
Otherwise, buy your car from the insurance company for a few hundred dollars and save all the great parts others are talking about. Should be able to find a clean 9-3 or 9-5 to transfer them to. And don't let the ins undervalue your car. They like to do that....
