If that's the full extent of the damage, it can be patched and welded.

Ill try to take it to a shop in the next couple of weeks. Seems like the damage is not just whats on the pic. Will hope for the best

Once the strut is removed it can be accessed from inside the wheel well.  I should think it's not fatal.
