Front End Vibrating Problems 91' GS

Hello,
I was given a 1991 Acura Integra GS today from my father. I'm 17 and this would be my first car. I never minded the car in fact i use to love watching the hellaflush da9's on youtube. That would be my goal.

The Problem:
My dad was in an front end accident. Figuring the car wouldn't bring much cash with a salvage title he gave it to me. Visually the car looks intact But there is heavy shaking while in Drive, Not while i'm pressing the gas. But still at red lights. My dad says the suspension is shot and the car wouldn't take an alignment right anymore. whatever he meant by that. Also i noticed the muffler use to drag down and is sort of tied up. Come to think of it it feels like the vibrations also come from the back. Another thing i noticed was the front end brace was bent heavily but was straightened out after the crash. In result my front headlights arnt exactly straight.
'
If anybody could help me find a solution, id greatly appreciate it. My plan was to simply buy a basic TEIN suspension to upgrade. Thank You

1991 Acura Integra 4dr (sadly) Automatic - 177,XXXmiles

Edit: THe car does look like it needs an alightment (steering wheel is off)
Sometimes when i turn it feels like the front wheels are wobbly

No, the hood does not close properly. In the center under the hood emblem it is not flush. i can actually stick my fingers thruu there. But it does close when letting go of the hood from about 10 inches

fixable, a new hood was bought and the driver side fender (witch the wobble noise from a wheel is coming from) besides that the car still shakes and vibrates.

And your dad means the busings in your suspension are so shot that the car wouldn't stay aligned after the alignment

UPDATE:
THanks for all the feedback guys. It turns out i had metal bushings. They are some very expensive ajustable bushings that kept hittin the wheel well becasue my front suspention was so shot. I bought new struts and suspention and 70% of the vibrations was gone.

CONS:
i think the rest of the vibrations are coming from the muffler. It is being held up by 3 clothes hangers. and the muffler has holes in it. how fucked up. Also it turns out my AC fan is broken and when on the car seems to shake a bit more.
