I know a lot happens in a crash but I just don't see how the passenger frame rail took any damage at all. the engine carriage sure... If I were you id get a second opinion, preferably from a place that has the equipment to straighten a frame, if that's what the problem is.

If you're referring to the portion that is protruding and should be under the passenger headlight, as long as it is in good shape where the engine carriage mounts to it I would not be too concerned as everything in front of that point is merely for crash protection. I'd just bend it back, reinforce it, and reattach a new bumper(metal portion).

The expensive part is trying to make it all look stock again, which is why cars are totaled out in the first place.
