I did something similar to my '92. Sheet metal damage, as the 'frame' rail slid under the target. Lucked out, and caught $22 fender day at Harry's. It took over two years or toying with it, but I've got less than $1k in it, including paint and a Country interior, and it's fully restored. I now have a PA Classic tag and insurance on it, so I have to watch how I modify it. But the upside of it is, my son and I took two semesters of collision repair at the local vo-tec, and we learned welding, smoke wrenches, etc., and from what was a bummer came something we can be proud of. It's too bad that it's so far away, because it looks like it could be a great start to a nice restoration or a good rock crawler.
