Anyone that goes against whatever Dr.Boost and Sinister say is a ------- moron and needs to buy a mountian bike instead of a car.
The firewall took some impact and the metal compressed on itself, resuling in him not being able to open the glove box, because the whole car shifted. the tolerances of the unibody I bet are 10mm over. the car will never be the same, you'd have to strip the interior and take the whole car to the frame to fix that, and it still wouldnt behave as if it were from the factory.

i used to help armenians(SP?) do autobody repair, from the looks of it the door and the rubber of the tire took all the impact, if i were you and you were gonna fix it yourself, make sure the upper connecter on the u arm up top where the knuckle isnt bent, get a new knuckle and drop the rack put on a new rack cuz the arm is prolly bent inside to where it will pull to one side if you just replace the one arm. the door/fender isnt far enough in to have frame damage.
as far as your glove box not opening your dash inner frame prolly took a little shifting, thats why its not opening. pry the bitch open with a big flatty after you take the passenger side door off then smack the inside of the right side of the inner dash (where the glove box sat) with a rubber mallet until it closes smoothly.
hope this helps you and gets you on your way. from the looks of it its not that bad i have seen cars that are crushed from the rear to the center and be repaired so your damage dont look so bad. if you are in cali you can get some HK parts (they are like oem just thinner) from a place called levans auto parts, fender new is about 50-80 bux, i would suggest getting the door from a junkyard cuz the aftermarket wont hold up in an accident.

hey i am an auto body tech, i worked at a body shop for 3 years, and by looking at that damage i can say that it aint ----... it would take a major hit to ---- up your unibody at the place where the suspension bolts up to the car, most of the suspension pieces are made out of a softer metal so that way when you would get into an exident where you would take a hit in your wheel damage would be limited just to the suspension and not the frame... and as far as the glove box goes open the door and then try to open the glove box, i say the door bowed inward and the door panel is pushing into the dash and that jems the glove box, but i might be wrong because i don't have the car infront of me, so even if the door pillar did get pushed in a tad it still wouldn't be that bad, a couple of slight pulls on the frame rack will correct it in no time
