              I would seriously consider a shop on this one, bro. You'll need some welding and alignment.

                  Just go get another one. Ford had those things on the cookie cutter for years. They're not rare.

                    I know I am, is it fixable? I'd imagine it is..

                    If it's metal it can be fixed.. Right?

                      I would guess you may have some damage to the k-member, control arm, and unibody under there too if it cracked your strut tower like that. You really should take it to a shop.
                      So were you getting sideways or just going too fast?

                          Another car?

                          I'd really like to fix this one.

                          I can't see a strut tower totalling a car..

                            Both.

                            K member looks fine and the unibody doesnt appear to look twisted. The fender gap and hood gaps are the same as before. Havnt checked anything else.

                            And both.

                              My main concern in repairing the tower is that it has the stress of the strut in motion all the time. If it's not done right it will end up worse than it is now, let alone your alignment is probably perma-fucked.

                              I'd look for a clean, straight 4-banger and transfer everything to it.
