Well, there is cosmetic damage, but the real problem is with the
sub-frame to which the front suspension connects. The mounting flanges on
the sub-frame that hold the right lower suspension parts (A-arm?) were
what hit the curb cut and are now very noticably bent backward.

To fix all that, one has to replace the sub-frame. To get the sub-frame
out, one needs to remove the engine. That's why my insurance company
totaled it.

Not a chance, sorry. I'm sure it would cost more than 5 times that amount
just to ship it port-to-port.
