Advice on front end damage
I bought this car as a project and Ive noticed this front end damage, the engine was shot and Ive already pulled it but I'm wanting advice from you all about this frame rail damage and core support damage.

Re: Advice on front end damage
core supports are generally easy to move if the car drives. wrap a chain around a tree, put the car in reverse, and gently pull the support forward. being as your motor is out, maybe you can get a few buddies to help play tug-of-war?
might be able to use a floor jack to tweak the frame horn if its not too bad?

The frame horn isn't to bent just a little at the mounting holes for the impact absorber.
