First off, these cars do not have a frame but a bonded Aluminum chassis with rear steel sub chassis bolted. The aluminum chassis can not be repaired in any way. If damaged it must be replaced. Hole in floor = new chassis.
That said, the bad news is your car is totalled. The cost to replace the chassis, front & rear clam, and any other assorted body work adds up to more then the car is worth. I would be searching for a ripping deal on a new '06 and letting Goodyear know who to talk to at that dealership about the new car they are buying you!
Idiots! This is why I bring my wheels in off the car then hold their hand while they change the tires.
