I would definately either part the car out of swap it over and here's why that's what i would do:
Just like any piece of metal, once you bend it it loses ALOT of strength, you can bend it back, but another accident would bend it around even worse. Also, the torque of a V8 in a fox body convertible that has a weakened frame from a wreck....you'll total the car just by hitting the accelerator pedal  I don't believe it's in your best interest to fix the frame and try to get things to line up. the car will squeek and rattle more, the handling will be worse (the car will flex more) and if you ever sold it, buyers might notice it's been wrecked or be turned away by saying it's been wrecked.
