When the shock towers buckle and squeeze the engine, its past time to call it a day. Its a UNIBODY car, how could you ever trust any of that structure to reliably perform in the future? I have a customer who redid a Ford Thunderbolt that was in a garage fire. He did a heroic job of retaining as much of the original car as he could, and I wouldn't call it a rebody. He did have a hell of a time getting paint to stick to the overheated sheetmetal. I think he ended up using some kind of aircraft epoxy primer.
