Anyone Available for Repairs?

I'm wondering if there is anyone in the Puget Sound area who might have the ability & time for doing repair work on my car? Probably not, everyone's pretty busy, but just thought I'd check. I'm posting some photos below so you can see the damage. I was quoted around $4000+ for parts & service at a regular repair shop. Just wondering if there would be anyone around who might interest in taking on the work for less.

Another possibility is that someone was offering $300 for it as part of an exchange in purchasing their cr-v. Think that would be equitable? It's an '85 automatic, fwd. It drives fine, I'm using myself currently in spite of the front damage. But it has old tubing which is has a few leaks and will need to be replaced in a few months; one of the back door windows was allowing rain to leak through (I put duct tape on the edge of the door to stop it, but it does have some water damage to the interior door vinyl), and the back door has to be held up - it won't stay up by itself anymore, so would need that checked into.

    That would look so very horrid.

    That looks painful :shock:
    If you'd had a cattle bar on that first ... before you had that run-in

    So did you keep it and fix it or trade in?
