Default FRAME DAMAGE?!?! what to do?

i bought a 92 dx hatch a year ago for 500$. The car was in decent shape and the frame had a little damage on the right side, but nothing major. Now I've lowered my car and put on a camber kit. When I went to have it aligned today, the front passenger wheel couldnt be pulled out beyond - 2.0 camber. Something's restricting it and I believe it has something to do with the car being wrecked( which I knew it was). If I cant get this fixed for a reasonable price, are there any alternatives for a 92 hatch having a new front clip attached to it???

any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance

just go to a body shop and get an estimate of how much itll cost(if fixable) to straighten your frame. then compare that to the price of a front clip.

why dont you rule out upper and lower control arms being bent before you spend money at a frame shop.

Get an estimate from a body shop. They can tell you what it'll cost to fix the damage and if there's suspension damage.
