Unhappy Don't hit trees, they hurt and dmg you car

on thursday arvo i hit a tree while missing a parked car which was parked within 3 meter's of the corner, anyway it hit on the passenger side right on the chassis rail. stuffed me bumper, headlight and radiator. anyway got a headlight and radiator that night, fixed the headlight that night, got a bumper from pick-a-part in cambelfield on friday and unmangeled the chassis rail bumper mount a lil so i could get the bumper on, fixed it all by sat arvo with a help of a mate. when i put the radiator in on sat that i got on thursady night i put it in at a mates place and drove back that night so it happed when i went to kew then epping and home again. need it to be fixed for a wedding which i had today, now i get home and find this radiator is stuffed to, the fan has hit it towards the passenger side on the top of the radiator. so 1: i need another radiator and 2: i need to figure out why the fan has hit it, it can only be one of two things which is 1: why we (me and a mate) removed the radiator we tryed to remove the 4 bolts from the fan unsuccessfully, only got one lose then tighten it back up, maybe it lose still making the fan spin crooked or 2: its the frame of the car on the passenger side bent in so it pushes it to the fan stuffing the radiator.

what do u guys think it is and do any of you have a cheap radiator for a "91 EB Falcon S S1 3.9L" that live close to sunbury ?, if its the bent frame do u know anyway backyard panel beater near sunbury who could pull it out for a cheap price, atm i don't want to spend more than the car worth.
