Damaged upper radiator support
I am wondering how to go about straightening my upper radiator support. From what I can tell it can't be hammered out, which the last owner already tried to do, because of the construction. I am posting a picture to show the damage, which isn't too bad I just want it straight. Thanks in advance.

It needs to be either pulled back in place, or new piece installed.
You're not going to fix it beating it with a hammer.

I was thinking of heating the support and taking a solid straight bar and screwing through the bar into the support and pulling the support towards the bar then welding the holes shut. My only idea I can think of
