Need some advice on front bumper and spoiler

Just bought this car for a project car last week. $500 for a car that sat for 23 years (wrecked, then kid left for the military) Anyways, the front bumper bar was bent in a little bit and going by when I got the car the passenger fender was ripped off in the accident.. Any good tips on how to straighten out that big piece of metal? Or should I just go to a pull part place and hope to find a good condition one there? Plus, there's a small sent in the back corner where the side of the spoiler used to be.. and I can't tell if that's going to stop me from getting another one and attaching it to it or not. I'll post close up pictures soon. Just seeing if anyone has some experience with either of these. other than those 2 things this car's body is ready for the paint shop soon after it runs (long time from that)


I apologize for my lack of terminology with this stuff, very ignorant when it comes to part names.

Re: Need some advice on front bumper and spoiler

It will be near impossible to straighten the bumper bar, try to find a used one. I think I payed $25 for my good condition used bumper bar. Good condition fenders can be a little harder to come by (at least by me where they rust out from the road salt). Keep your eye on the classifieds. Good luck!
