1990 4runner rebuild (bring Molly back to life)

Hi there. I bough my first Toyota about a week and a half ago. Unfortunately though today Molly may have given her life for mine. I was coming down Mt.Hood (here in Oregon) was going to fast and pitched it sideways through oncoming traffic barely missing a Lexus by about 2 feet and off a guardrail before it got buried drivers side into a guardrail over looking a 300 foot cliff. My front end is smashed I need at least a new radiator,grill, speedo cable, all new metal upfront and I don't even know if it will turn over. I borrowed 2500 on it and insurance is saying because I was charged with reckless endangerment I will not be getting any insurance money. As a young kid working on this out of his dads field is a rebuild even possible? Would the cheapest way to do that be getting a donor car or just try and use all the U-Pull its around me? Has anyone done anything like this before? Can you guys give me a couple of tips? Thanks pics will follow as soon as I can get her back to me.

If you are the guy that was on KPTV's website and hit it at 87 MPH I am thinking the 4Runner is not worth fixing...
