Steve can you remove the front end and take some detailed pics of the damage to the main halo , as it may not be as bad as it currently looks , as it looks like the drivers side beam bolts have been partially torn out too which amplifies how far back the beam is sitting on the passengers side .
My car here in Australia had a similar accident back in the 80's and was repaired and although not done properly back then i have since repaired the area as much as i could without using a replacement chassis which is NOT available in Australia and then for the final squaring up of the beam i used two different thickness flat bars folded and welded to the front of the original Towd beam mount with obviosly the thicker flat bar being used on the passengers side of your car.
The above will be heavily dependant though on just how bad that front corner of the halo is damaged
