Ohh nasty, that needs Jigging and the subframe will be bent as well.

But try this, bumper off, chain/rope around somehtign solid liek a lamp post or tree and try reversing, shock it straight. will need a bit of hammer beating as well.

bear in mind the car is pretty much scrap due to the damage.

thats the stuff, your up there with the best (me) in structural body repairs.

Try to neaten it up a bit, use a hammer and also the standard jack and wood blocks can pull out any remaining creases if your lucky.

After you finish doing that, spary it or slap engine oil about the place and throw dust and muck on it, do this everywhere to make it not stand out, this will hide any evidence of it.

no bother, they are good cars.

the damage isn't really dangerous, will fold a bit easier if you stuff it into a wall though.
