First, let's draw around the headlight to get rid of that ugly bit sticking up. Follow the approximate line of the grille and headlight as shown in the following screenshot:
Erase the upper part above your line.
The car folds on another line slightly further down the side view as shown in the next image. Draw a line along this line and again erase everything above it.
You now have an even bigger hole, but at least you know everything that's there now is more or less correct. Now it's time to do the patching.
Using pencil lines, just make triangles between the two edges of the hole, just like the example I've shown here.
Before you know it you'll have the car patched up. When you paint the front view back onto the geometry, it all looks much, much better.
