Hi Neno....

Sorry you're having so much trouble.  I have a couple of '89s, one of which might
help you out.  I know you said you preferred 90/91s...so do I, but a bird in the
hand...!!

Anyway, I went to the yard to get Sable parts for a friend's SHO that got hit in the
same place yours did, but didn't hurt the chassis, just the upper parts.  The fender
bolts on in a bunch of places, but isn't welded anywhere.  There are 3 or 4 bolts
down below the door hinges, one in the vicinity of the upper door hinge, and 2 or 3
more inside the wheel well near the front.  You probably already know how to get the
splash panel and the lights off and on.  You most likely will have to have the
subframe mounting area pulled to realign it. 

Good that you and your lady weren't injured.

See ya!!
