Default Windshield frame repair

Has anyone done or know if this type of damage is repairable. I know with enough money anything is possible.I'm interested on how would it be done. You can see where it's bent down on the drivers side.

In my opinion I wouldn't waste my money on fixing that car.

It's a 2000 with 42k on the clock. The driver rear tie rod is broken, why wheel is toe in. Has no frame damage.
Asking price is 4k. Maybe a good parts car.

Looks like a good donor car to build a GTM.

The guy counter offer me and will let it go for $3,500. Gtm are great but expensive,I'm looking for a fun track car. I already own a 2008 Z06 for casual driving and that's enough car for me.
I thought about parting out,but that so much work. i don't even know how i would ship large items like the engine and tranny.The guy that owns it is trying to find a wind shied frame for it. If he does i would take a shot on it. I can,t see loosing for the price and could keep it for parts for myself. I guess i was having a flash back and was wishing for an easy repair, like straighting the windshield frame with a come along. LOL!
Thanks guys
