    Turns over, but doesn't start

    Check for spark, sounds like you are getting fuel since you hear the pump and can smell it. Best way to test for fuel pressure is to have a fuel pressure gauge. If you are not getting spark, check the basics. Faulty crank sensor can also not give you no spark. If the crank sensor isnt reading...

    Need help with brakes/abs please!

    Try to pull any ABS codes. If there is a code, it can tell you which sensor is reading wrong. Also, buying a code reader/scanner is always something good to have.

    Your best bet is to make sure all maintence is up to date (ie tune-up, fuel filters, air filter). Make you sure your tires are set at the proper pressure, do not over inflat unless you dont mind having uneven wearing tires. Dont feel bad, my Lightning gets 7/8 mpg city driving if Im lucky.

    Should I replace 02's?

    You can remove them and clean them if you want. No point in replacing them if you arent getting any 02 codes/heater circuit codes. If you do decide to replace them/pull them, put a little anti seize on the threads.

    What are my options...

    Take that to a shop. You will need at least a headlamp, bumper cover, fender, the door shell is subjective (used door would be ideal), header panel, some rad support damage, but based off your body lines, your nose looks swayed. Won't be able to tell the extent of damage till it gets a tear...

    Couple A/C and heater problems

    Is the A/C ompressor working properly? Is there a a/c leak? Have them inject some dye into the A/C system and check for leaks.
