Off topic, but how on earth did that happen?
Ontopic, You can weld some metal in there to span those gaps and strengthen everything up.
If you dont want to weld, or have it welded, Buy a new shell and swap your stuff over. Personally I would would weld it, becouse even if you try this and it fails you can always get a new shell and swap everything over.

if your strut tower cracks now they can crack in the future...... start new and go for the shell. you dont know the extent of your damage.

you can replace that metal. i remember my friend that rebuilds cars either bought that section from honda or he got it from another car. BUT he did it because he has the know how and resources.

yes, if you have the know how its not that bad to replace the tower and/or inner fender
if you dont have experience in this field i would not attempt it
