Unhappy 96 C220 Bent Frame? Help? Fix it or Ditch it?

I recently Inherited my friends 96 C220 unfortunately it drives a little sideways down the road, the car had been run into a ditch causing the front right wheel to be bent in or out I don't remember. The damage was fixed on a tight budget by someone with limited mechanical knowledge it seems that the large springy bar that runs under the car is actually bent.
I found a busted stabilizer bar mount / strap fixed it temporary wasted 5 drill bits in the process.

The car is in nice condition engine and trans are perfect ac works great, OK cosmetic condition needs 2 mirrors now. 160k on the odo

I am worried the frame is bent... The hood has larger gap on one side then the other as well as the fender being slightly compressed to the passenger door.

should I try to replace parts and straighten it out or sell it and avoid a nightmare? I will upload pictures
Thanks any advice helps.
