    Previous owner sustained some front end damage — is this fixable?

    Trying to remove bumper shocks, and pulled the metal bumper to find this.

    What are your thoughts?

    What was behind that shock? Is anything behind it damaged?

    That alone looks like a one day repair.

        If the horn (frame rail) is straight behind the core support then you need to just pull those ends straight out to shape again.

          What he said ^^^

          take strut (energy absorber) out and pull out frame horn and shape with a hammer..... dont forget to throw some paint on bare metal so it doesn't rust
