Default Broken suspension Restoration, help :S

So I am in the process of rebuilding an Ap1. Body work and suspension involved. Looked very severe damage at first, but after lifting the car up, the following are the damaged parts.

Left Front Knuckle ( broken from the part where it attaches to the upper control arm)
Right front Upper Control arm is bent
Right front Lower Control arm is broken.

Due to holidays, I will not be able to go to my autoshop class and do this myself, so I will have to tow it a shop. Now other than the obvious 3 parts listed above, do I need anything else i-e bushings, bearings etc for reinstalling the new parts? Or can I reuse all of them again ? I just want all the parts ready, so I just go in and out of the shop. Not a big fan of shops working on my cars lol

Parts will most probably be coming from a doner ap2 that has been parted out, so I can get anything I want. And then order the parts that can't be reused.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Yeah for sure, I will surely take some pics next time I go. It's not parked at my house.

But is it worth? I am mechanic too, not a professional but do have an autoshop class all the time to work on all my cars lol. YES!!! Fortunately it is worth it, no frame damage, no axles bent. Looks like it hit something, snapped the suspension and that cause the sideswipe accident.

I'll pm you the pics soon . Thanks a lot
