I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.

I have most all parts from an 87 XR7, but I'm quite a ways away. bumper cover is maroon (with the XR7 grey?), etc...sold the lights already though.  Been hanging onto these for long enough...I've got most of what I want for my car now.

Here's the measurements from my car. It's never been in an accident, and should be the correct measurements.
If you need more for the front end (top to bottom) let me know.
These are "on center" measurements


This one measures from the front center of the oval hole, to the inner center side of the bolt.
Both sides are the same.

Looking at the pics again, you should be able to pull it back by yourself, if you have some time to do it. It really doesn't look that bad. You'll see better when the fenders come off.

If you wanted bad, it looks like this...

I do not recommend attempting to repair the damage when it is this extensive, your car will never be right again.

yeah but she is good to go. a little tweaking and it should be set for re-assembly.
 
[drunk ish post]man, an absolutely mint, mint, mint 70 or so k mile red cougar just like hers was for sale for like 2200 not all that long ago in town (i think i posted pics at the time). the kid that ended up with it reved on me like a ricer at a stop light not too long ago. i schooled him but i was still jelous. its funny to me, i like the tbirds much more than the cougars, hate that color red but if i were to ever own a coug like that it would have to be that red, on grey or raven (or black) just like that.[end drunkish post]

I was hoping you could post the measurements of the areas I pointed out in my pic/drawing.  That was the comparrison I was looking for.
the one reason i did not post sturctural layouts from the shop manual is because they always give a great structural perspective , but,  we cant always get to those areas when the car is damaged ect or even with an engine in.
