Cars do not have frames. This is a uni-body construction which uses rolled-up sheet metal. Look underneath and you will see there is no frame. If you think this car can be saved, show the photos to anyone at any body shop and have them describe how they would approach it. They would buy an entire side of a donor car and weld it on. This would only be done if the final product had more value than buying a similar non-damaged car. With this one, you will spend more to fix it than you would to buy one like it.

That car does not have a frame, it is a uni-body vehicle. You could buy another vehicle that is identical and use some of the parts off the wreck to repair it but that one is not repairable. Like the wiper arms, maybe some engine parts, maybe the rear deck lid, tail lights and such. The rest is scrap.
