Message It just depends on whether its worth it to you. Since its a TT, I would go the extra mile in keeping it. If it was an NA I would probably not waste my time, sell it as is and buy a TT.

I see some spot welds ripped off. You can buy a used radiator support and a hood for dirt cheap. Drill out the spot welds, and have the new one welded on.

Make sure the lower subframe and brackets have no damage. Check aux fan, radiator, hood latch, fan clutch clearance, oil cooler, condensor, basically take the bumper off and be anal about everything. If its only what Im seeing in those pictures, a halfway decent body shop with a frame machine should be able to square that away back to perfect in no time. FSM has the specs, supply them with it and hound them so they dont cut corners, no pun intended.

Parts from a local parts car should be ~ 200.
Labor will be less ~ 1K.
