Honda Accord Coupe 3l 1999 - Front/slam panel replacement - Sailor

Immaculate- leather etc.
Hit a bell bollard, insurance write off. We intend to fix it.

Front/slam panel badly crushed at bottom. Is this hard or expensive replace? Any tips, or a guess at the price?

Bumper, rad, air-con condense also need replacement, but they seem straightforward.

I have found all parts except the front panel, available new, aftermarket. Front panel more elusive... Ideas?

I understand after fixing i have to get a new MOT, and vehicle identity check. Is it right that the car can never be sold? Any other hitches?

Would it not be easier and much more economic to scrap the car after all a genuine one that old is hardly worth a fortune ,the cost and the trouble of getting this car back on the road you may as well buy another it will be cheaper in the long run.
