It's hard to tell without looking under the hood and inside the fender area, but my bet is that the frame is tweaked. I tlooks like it is rolled under a little as well.

If you have access to a frame machine it's pretty easy to fix. If you have to pay for it, it may cost up to $1000.00 to have the frame straightened.

It all depends on what you are willing to spend to have this car fixed.

I recently bought a 95 Civic EX that had similar damage. I have access to pulling posts, and spot weld machines, so I got mine fixed for next to nothing. I got all my sheet metal from Certifit and was very pleased with the price and quality of the aftermarket sheet metal.

I ended up replacing the rad support, the hood, the left fender, bother headlights and corner lights, and the air conditioning condenser.

The car was bought at auction for me by a friend for $1200 and I probably have under $300 in parts on it. Mine is red and I plan on doing the body (Door dings) and paint myself. I was thinking about finishing it with a nice pearl clear to make it stand out a little.

I dont plan on a body kit, but slightly lowering it and a JDM front lip.

I just popped in a JDM D16Z as well. The car is for my son, but so far it's been pretty fun to work on.

You will know how bad the frame is damaged by looking for a kink in it. If the kink is in front of the shock tower, it's really easy to pull. If it is behind the shock tower, then you better have a professional pull it for you or you will never get it to align.
