Place for steel frame repair? Or advice.

I was in a collision recently & my normal bike shop's mechanic is telling me my eighties Bass Frame & front fork are not repairable or fixable because of damage to my frame at the head set from the hit.

They told me this when I went in to get a new front fork, which has been bent for a while, and they are saying due to separation on the frame (I can't see it) the fork cannot be replaced. 

The bike has sentimental meaning & I want some other opinions on the damage & my options before moving forward with a new bike. Attached some pictures just for the hell of it. 

I am willing to pay for frame repair but don't know where to go for help.

Anyone?
