Default Body damage to '93 FLHTCU

I took on this project of restoring a beat up 1993 FLHTCU, two tone gray and black. I absolutely love the look, or at least, the potential of it. Seems like it hit on the front at a low speed and fell on the right side. I will attach pictures. I need some solutions or suggestions on what to repair and what to completely replace. Like I said, I would like to preserve the original look but if new parts are necessary, oh well.

It looks like a pretty straight forward outer fairing, fender, and the front marker light, if you can find parts for a bike that old. You should plan on replacing all three.

It is really hard to make suggestions based on the limited number of pictures.
The only thing visible is a fairing, spot light, fender and perhaps an engine guard mounted wind deflector.

Sometimes individuals have nostalgic value but it may not translate to financial value so be careful on financials unless you are planning to keep it for a long time.
On the flip side..it is really cool when a bike gets a new life.

1-Is the frame bent?
2-Are forks bent?
3-Does the bike run and ride straight down the road?

I would try to confirm those items at minimum before spending money.
