I got in a similar accident in one of my cars (engine, radiator etc. is good, but the front end is smashed and the airbag system is triggered). Your car is salvagable, but if you don't know anything about working about cars it will be a lost cause for you. You will need new seat belts, a new air bag module, and potentially new air bags and impact sensors. Your front bumper (the metal bar, not the plastic bumper cover) and radiator support also should be replaced. And if you care about how your car appears, you'd obviously need a new bumper cover as well. I spent a little under a year slowly purchasing the parts I needed from junkyards and working on my car on my days off of work, because I really didn't want to let it go (it was my first car). In the end I fixed it and have driven it for 4 more years since that accident and I still have it today. So in answer to your question, your car is definitely salvagable. But if you don't have the knowledge or skills to be able to work on it yourself, you are going to be paying waaaaay more than the car is worth for someone else to fix it.
@@cole_tech_offical I understand that your airbags did not deploy, but they still may be marked as "used" by your airbag control module. You see, the airbag system in most cars works like this; you have an airbag control module, seat belts, and airbags. If you get in an accident, the airbag control module will detect this and tell your seat belts to lock up and tell your airbags to deploy. After this is done, you will permanently have an airbag light on. The seat belts and airbags cannot be reused, because they will permanently be in a "tripped" position. A lot of cars also have external impact sensors which help the airbag control module do its job. They are placed inside doors and bumpers, and they will trigger the airbag system if they get crushed. My car did not have these; the only way the airbag control module could tell you got in an accident was by detecting the force of the impact. Every car is different. You'd have to do the research yourself on your own car. Like I said before, I do not recommend that you attempt to fix your car if you do not have a decent amount of mechanical knowledge. Airbag systems can be very dangerous to work with if you do not know what you are doing.

None of my airbags went off what parts of the airbag system do I need I got a new seat belt.
What parts of the airbag system do I need I replaced the seat belt. No airbags went off.
