Can this fender be repaired to perfect? Take a look at the bends in the front.

Yes.
I would bolt the fender on the car and bend back that lower portion straight out. You might need two sets of hands for this but it would be best to have pressure bending the metal out while someone is very lightly tapping that crease with a body hammer. With pressure on the metal and tapping on the crease you will help relax the stressed metal allowing it to go back to its former condition. Metal has a memory you just need to help it find its way.

Very intelligent (spelling?) answer. Metal does have a memory. Help it find its way.
