If #5 in this image isn't damaged or even if only minor damage everything is pretty much bolt on. I'd shop 'local' using Car-Part.com as a locating service for availability. You need to understand the salvage yard's asking is only a 'wish' and you can bargain nearly always.
The '88 hood would be a challenge for a DIY maybe but I wouldn't rule it out. The alternator divot could be a challenge and your inner structure looks to be demolished in that area. Any used hood you want to be concerned with the rear hood tips. Everyone likes to stand used hoods on the tips.
I'm having difficulties getting the image posted. I'll come back! Do you have the FSM? The image is from the body section of a FSM. If you don't have the FSM I can help you.

*** I tried a few more times and still no luck BUT I emailed it to you, it isn't from a '93 FSM but a '92 which has an image that's not included in a '93.

I suggest that you take WVZR-1 up on his offer. I did as well as many others, and we can all attest to what we received.

He already has the '93 from me. The image I sent him is from a '92 I believe that's 10-4-4 in the body section.

Your son learned a valuable lesson about following too closely. I'm glad he wasn't injured.
Do 85 body parts fit this year??

Well just an update on my son’s car. I found a complete 93 auto with a blown engine. Everything else about the car is perfect for what I need. Of course State Farm wants to total the car so I have told them to keep there offer and I would fix it my self. I am currently looking for a new insurance company.

Non the less here are some pics of the car I bought. Don’t mind all of the mirroring under the hood. All of that will be going away.

I have been with State Farm for over 30 years with no claims and my 16 year old son hit a car with his 2008 Wrangler. All it did was bent the bumper and moved the tip of the frame 1”. They totaled it and would not let us buy it back. We could have fixed it with a new bumper and a large pry bar.

I think it's very repairable it will be a few grand, as long as you don't have any Air Bag codes thrown it looks like a lot of glass.
So it's pull, list, buy, assemble
