put the lot back together, chain the arm to a post/girder/truck, and drive backwards. straightens em right out. easy. its an easy fix tbh matey.

Doesnt look that bad TBH. I whacked mine once, broke the steering rack and bent the lower arm. Chain and bodyshop hydraulic ram sorted it.
my green one was like that when i got it pulled it out new arm and was like new

The difference between a real man and a wimp is that a real man doesn't give up, the wimp does.
SO, are you a wimp? :p
P.s. How did you get it back, FIT SOME SECURITY!

Does look worse than it is as long as there is no structural damage done then it should be ok to sort out.
Good you got it back, but as MyNovaSr asked, How?
