I'd advise she not drive it, as that is incredibly dangerous...

yeah agreed man. that Kframe bolt is a significant point of strength, being as comprimised as it is the load on those other bolts would be well beyond breaking point. id hate to see what would happen if the k-frame let go on the freeway.

i cant imaine it would be too much. a commonly scrapped part, as long as it was stripped of everything, cant be more than 100-150.

changing it will prolly mean she needs to go get the wheels aligned again for castor/camber but im not sure exactly how that models adjustments work so could be wrong.

What a big job to correct and I'm sure the insurance company would write it off. See if you can buy the wreck back and search for a decent used one and swap over all your good parts.

There are only four bolts holding the whole assembly in place
