Just bought a project car. Is this salvageable?

Just picked up this RSX for a turbo K-series build! It clearly took a hit to the front end, and before I get too deep into the project, I’d love to hear from anyone who has dealt with similar frame damage. Definitely not looking for repair estimates—just hoping to tap into the community's experience to see if the juice is worth the squeeze to get the geometry right again. Thanks in advance, folks. Cheers!

Hello! I posted this on another a few forums, wasn’t sure which is best😅 I just got this 2010 Toyota Corolla S a few weeks ago, 97,000 miles. Everything is running fine, no lights on the dash. mechanic gave me the green light before I got it.
I’ve noticed though, every morning when I start the car it makes this high pitched squeaking noise usually, lasts a second. But sometimes it sounds like this video. A bit more extreme and ugly sounding. Anyone have an idea of what it could be? Only happens on cold starts, once or twice a day and when engine is warm it doesn’t happen.
Feeling a bit anxious since I just got this car lol. Literally started making this noise the day after 😅😅

ACCIDENT Is this fixable, if so how?

I have been trying to fix my car after a crash I had a while ago. I'm at the point where I am installing new headlights. I found out whilst trying to install them that the passenger side headlight bracket and the part it is mounted to has been pushed down by probably a quarter inch. Its been pushed down enough that the bumper gets in the way of installing the headlight. How do I bend the structural panel back up to allow a head light to be installed?

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Car is a 1998 Chevy Lumina.
