update:
just got back from the shop. all parts are in, but he is waiting for the claims adjuster to come back out to authorize repair/replacement of: the left front strut, other splash guards/plastic pieces, and the apron ( the area behind the fender. has to be cut off and new piece welded in)
the chances of me getting it back this week are looking slim
but he is repainting the entire left side tomorrow minus the door and fender, as they need to be lined up and he doesn't want to scratch them.

Seriously. Unless it's a panel, any kind of welding done to my car would make me unhappy to keep that car.
OP, I had one and loved it so you got a good car. But with this repair you're probably going to want to drive it until it's not worth a pot to piss in. Especially with new welding being done.
