It's not that much of a damage, engine should be safe, and i dont think the frame is damaged at all, for sure the rad must be gone and the front end supports as well...FG shows up a lot in a crash...i remember when i crashed my '77 into a schoolbus a couple of years ago, i was standing on (the rest of) my car waiting for the police and people calling by asked if the driver died or could save himself and when i claim that I WAS the driver they couldnt believe me
The front end was all over the place but the engine was safe and the frame was just slightly bended on a side...that was all.
(by the way the school bus was empty, just the (female) driver and an attendant...)
The fault was 100% mine.

Aren't you supposed to avert your eyes when you see something like that?

On second look (I couldn't help myself) it looks like it was a REALLY badly positioned floor jack!
