Just for clarification I'm not looking for it to be even close to perfect I just want to get it back close to the original shape

Hard to tell from those angles at least for me. The problem with those fenders is they are really thin so working with that metal by hammering and bending is difficult as it gets more and more unstable. If you apply filler to make it better from my experience the metal flexes to much so the filer cracks easily. A good body guy can make it look good again but the longevity would be questionable.

You would have a really hard time trying to reshape that fender, especially the top section of the wheel arch where the fender is buckled and cracked. Might be worth looking for a descent used one? Good luck.
