I'd be real leary of calling it unfixable.

You hook up a frame puller to the radiator support, let it sit under moderate tension for about 36-48 hours, and you'll be amazed at what it will look like.

Talk to a few owner run shops (not chain shops) and see if they'll do a friday deal. Most shops are empty by Friday noon, so they may cut you a deal on a Friday afternoon frame pull with leaving it sit under tension all weekend. After that, a few panels and a paint job and you are back in business.

As for the airbags, get used from someone parting out in a cash deal. I know its not legal, but used parts are just fine for that. If it was me, i'd say screw the airbags, I wear my seatbelt 100% of the time, so I'd suffer more harm than good with an airbag, but some people like them.

It would be a real shame to see another one bite the dust for a few thousand in repairs.
