Default 99 Civic EX Frame damage? opinions please

Hey Everyone,

Ive been thinking about keeping my car and just building it over time. One thing thats bothering me though is i one of my head lights are not aligned and it looks like its just off in general. i dont want to keep it if it has frame damage or damage that is not worth fixing.

Here is some pics and i apologize for the bad pictures taken at night time i will post day time pics tomorrow.


i can fit my hand in where the arrow is pointing where i cant on the picture posted below





Any opinions or insight is much apprecaited. Thanks everyone.

with these pictures, its hard to really tell what you're talking about. but if you're talking about that metal bar underneath the headlight, thats just a bracket that cradles the headlight or the bumper sits on top of. you can muscle it back in to alignment and close the gap.

but it does make me wonder, why one bar is black and the other is bare steel.

i know the pics suck ill take more from different angles and see if that helps. it doesnt look ike i can just muscle it cuz its bolted on there. also he bumper looks like its not the right one because the screw holes dont match up. i think it had some front end damage from before i got it. i know the hood is new too.
