HELP! Wrecked C280 Sport; Crossmember

So, I have unfortunately wrecked my baby. Its a 99 C280 Sport and since it means a lot to me I have decided to restore it. I hit a boulder going about 40 mph after being sideswiped by a van. No one was hurt however the car is in pretty bad condition. I know a little knowledge and decided to do it myself. I know how to replace the fan, radiator etc. however the crossmember I believe was pushed in to where it pushed my radiator and fan into my engine. I have removed the fan and radiator and cut half of the cross member so that I would have room but I grinded it off and need to know how to remove properly

You might want to post this in the non AMG w202 section. This is the AMG W209 section.
