Having owned a frame rack for 24 years you learn how to look at damage .
Look at the door gaps .
The cowl is rolled back with the belt line of the cowl well behind the front lip of the door .

Top and bottom gaps look normal .

Also look at the rear door gap .
Closed and it has actually bowed the bottom of the door shell .

All common stuff with a hard cowl hit .

What this all says is that car is badly bent but fixable .
But NOT with a hammer and porta power .

JMHO of course .
