Core support repair

Hello! I just wanted some advice. I have a 1997 Nissan 240sx and it got in a wreck by its previous owner. The core support is bent and the the frame is bent just a little. Basically the whole front end is pushed back so the headlights and the hood dont sit flush correctly

So my question is, what is the best way to go about fixing this? I wanted to get opinions on here first before i take it to a shop and they overprice me or something.

Im located in Houston TX, so if anyone has some shop recomemdations, i would love to hear it! Thanks for your help!

Do they have big trees in Texas lol?

Nothing seems crumpled so pulling should do the trick, either you can try DIY'ing it with a tree and some ratchet straps

OR

Go to any decent body shop, they should have a frame machine that can pull it close enough to straight again.

This is good info.
I hit a deer and my core support was way more fucked, between some hammers, pry bars, and an engine hoist I was able to pull it out.
