Total damage?? 🙁

On the weekend I had an accident where one at the intersection in front of me popped into the side. She drove (animal) 55km/h. At the front the right side is quite covered, and what it looked like the front wheel axle broke. Today the car came into the workshop, and the workshop manager said that it was n total damage I bought the car a month ago, and cost 4700€, which I probably get almost completely from the insurance since I am fully insured. my real question: This is, or much more was my absolute dream car, which I also got quite cheap by contacts to VW (4700, instead of 6500!!). What can be so broken about the car than it could not be repaired?? Is bonnet and door bulging so expensive??? I mean, 450€ is a lot, but clearly, not enough. I would be willing to pay some more on it, and have already looked around for a cheap engine, etc.. On the frame itself was thereby at least not immediately recognizable. But since I have absolutely no idea of cars I ask you. It’s about the Golf 3 (55kw) year of construction at the end of 95. The car was hit so far in the front that even the right door still opened. So in my (lay) eyes can not be sooo much broken, right?? What would that cost if I replaced everything usually at the front right in the engine compartment??? Laughs at me calmly, but I have really no idea. Was just the axis broken, and even the radio was still running impeccable. So, advise me!! viiiiielen thank you so much!! beeviZ
