Default Accident allignment

A few weeks ago my Vette got smack up against a Ford Taurus. Wasn't me that was driving it, and the driver was properly sacked. Whole left side was destroyed and it looks like the front left wheel might have hit the the car badly, but no visible damage. Maybe it's my eye but it seems to be a little off, but that maybe me.

I'm thinking an alignment and wheel balance will be alright but the Stabilizer Bar Link I can move freely with my hands. Like it's easy to twist it. I took some photos as best as I can without removing the wheel. BTW shocks are still factory as well. Is that normal for the end link? Also there's an area of the leaf spring that I'm not sure how it should look. Both sides look like that but I took a photo of it anyway to get someones opinion.

If you're wondering, yes I've repaired this car before. After this is done there aren't many areas of the car that hasn't been repainted by myself. Probably just the truck is all that's left. Waiting on the new hood and fender from Rockauto that's taking nearly a month to arrive.
