Default Can this be repaired? 1999 Integra

So I picked up this Integra super cheap. It has a salvage title. There is suspension and body damage to the left front. Does anyone know if this body/frame could be repaired and how much trouble would it be? I'm not a body guy so i'm not sure. The previous owner spun out in the rain and hit a curb.

As you can see it looks like the whole wheel well was pushed in and the wheel well framing as well. Can that framing be pulled back out to straight?

i'm not a professional by any means, but judging by the way that inner panel is cracked / torn, i'd say that it is not worth repairing that vehicle. Can it be done? Maybe. But i feel like it would be an expensive fix.

True. I'll probably just pull everything off the car that i want and junk the shell.

This is a good idea. Even if you fixed the car it would still have a salvage title, not worth the money you'd put in.

Fixable, yes.. is it worth it prob not since you can pick up a shell for 500-1000 in much better shape.

Whole shell? it's just a fender and bumper cover, real easy, real cheap if you do it yourself.

i think its a little more than that. Did you see the rip/tear in the metal of the inner panel of the car?
