    Fender apron damaged. Do I need to replace or repair?

    Bought a project car and just noticed that the fender apron looked beat up under the air filter. Could I get a pros opinion on whether this is repairable? Is it a big enough deal that I can just leave it alone? Do I attempt to hammer it out myself?

    My gut tells me this needs to be replaced but wanted a second look.

    Looks like the car has been in an accident and the PO decided to just replace the hood, fender, ect. themselves. If the paint isn't broken open, and the airbox mounts properly, I wouldn't be too worried about it as that's mostly cosmetic.
