Hard to tell from the pics, but I don't see bumper distortion, which leads me to surmise the uni body frame structure might likely be intact and unbent. A careful inspection and a trip across a frame machine would tell that story properly. otherwise, looks to be sheet metal, ie fender panel

We have USAA and this is the first at fault accident in many years. This is not a show car but is is/was one of the nicest and most reliable vehicles in my fleet. I also only carry liability on it, so I’m pretty much screwed. With cars these old it’s usually not worth carrying full coverage.

You need the exact schematics of your car, and the others. Find and reverse-engineer the differences. Remember that you don't have to dip the sender in fuel in order to test its range, nor even put it all together. Just run it back and forth with your finger and see if the gauge responds
