Strength of frame is not likely compromised that much. No way to tell how much handling will be affected without knowing what the head tube angle is now vs. stock. No wayu to tell remotely how bad fork is and how many ways it might be bent. You would have to remove the fork to have it evaluated by inspection and putting it into a fork alignment guage.
