Rainy day Crash.

Hello,
My Saab: 1995 900SE convertible 2.0 turbo. 150k miles. Green.
We had a unfortuante slid-out today. My wife, in going around a curb, the rear end lost grip and she lost control. The car spined, and hit a telphone pole with the rear quater panel. Then the carspun the other way and finally stoped in the curb.
The last hit bent the axle and probably the rear sway bar .
The car can still be driven slowly, and I have taken it home (the accident was 2 miles from my house).
I am looking to get estimates on how much the repairs will cost - I do not have insurance that will cover this.
I called the saab dealer and they said that they have a rear end (sway bar and axles for the rear) and can put it on for 4-6 hours of labor at $80 + 200 parts.
In addition I will need at least one 16' wheel. And a full alingment if not more in the front.
What I am most concerned about is the body work. I tried bending it back with a 2x4 and a heavy hammer but it did not budge. What do body shops do with read end hits? How can they get the steel back to a an exact position to attach bumbers, lights, etc? How much is it likely to cost?
At the URL you can see pictures from the crash.
Thank you for any suggestions/help.
