Any one own a 1988 Toyota Corolla

My wife rear ended someone yesterday and smashed up the front of the car , she's ok but the car is hurting. I have to rebuild the front end of this thing by Monday so she can drive it to work. What I need to know from some one who ones this car , pop the hood , does the radiator sit at angle? The damage done is mostly on the surface but the radiator support did get bent , but I can't tell how bad , I'd like to just bend it back if I can , but I'm not sure how bad it's bent. This will be one of the fastest rebuild I've ever done , hopefully I can pull it off.

Can't you just bend it back to the point where it won't make contact with anything, tighten it done and call it a day?

Wish I could help, my buddy used to have the 1981 sports coupe.
