if the frame is bent up badly than it will not be safe to drive, have a mechanic inspect it to see if the fame is still good

No insurance? May be better to part out if you have the time and space.

yeah if the frame is bent or damaged i wouldnt drive it, you would be better off parting it out. it takes time but it could save alot of money my brother does it to s2000's for a living.

Its a unibody and doesn't have a "frame". The car is made to crumple under impact as shown in your pictures. That is an easy repair for a body shop and well worth it. Insurance should cover repairs?

Is there any indication that its twisted further back than that quarter? If the doors open and close fine it should be worth a few calls at least. Maybe consider finding a shop that will work with you and take care of JUST the bent up frame? I'm sure if you do all the prepping and all the rebuild you could save a substantial amount
