Not to sound facetious but, "one of everything that's broken".

Like, based on these photos we could enumerate everything that we see that is visibly damaged, but firstly I can tell that there must be damage not captured in the photos and on the other side of the car that we can't see, and secondly, the list is already dozens of parts long and I don't know how we could tell you more than you can see.

You need to take your car to the bodyshop to have them tear it down and itemize the parts and labour needed, and give you and your insurance agent an estimate on the repair.

Send more clear pictures. I have done my own body work a few times and you’d be surprised how well you can push out dents if it’s in the right spot. You don’t want to spend too much if it’s old with a lot of miles, it makes no sense to pay for body work that costs more then the car itself. The front passenger panel looks like it can be pushed out but the paint looks pretty bad.

Take the car to a body shop. Get an estimate. If you don't have collision insurance, be sure and tell them it's not an insurance job. Shop around because body shop prices vary a lot. Offer to be flexible about when the car goes in if it will help the price.
