Someone once told me, Life throws you a lemon, make lemonade. From the looks of your cruiser I would say that some of the parts you could get fixed as after markets to replace the factory.
Blood hell, I hope the tree took more damage than your PT. They want what to replace it?!?!?!? Like 10,000 grand. WTF the front fascia is 1,000 to replace new alone, I can imagine the cost of the rest of the front and that frame bar.

The tree is fine. It had been hit dozens of times before me and had no bark from about the four foot mark down. Right after I hit a woman came along and did exactly the same skid and almost hit me. The road in question is a very narrow winding mountain road (Hwy 128 on N. California coast connecting Hwy 1 and 101). The highway department uses tar from a can to fix cracks, just plain ol' tar. On this corner there is a strip of about 20 feet of tar that runs along side the double yellow line. When it rains the tar turns to oil and the rest is history.
Frankly I was glad the tree was there, on the other side was a 300 foot cliff.
The nice thing was that dozens of people stopped to help us and a wedding party all dressed up took out chains and pulled the car out of the bank in the pouring rain. People can be nice. (Bad thing... $479 towing fee)
PS Parts cost is $4,091.75, the rest is labor at $4,740.00
