given that’s it’s steel, if the price was right I’d certainly take a swing at it. Should be doable with a little forethought, a bench vise and some wood blocks. Looks like both the chain- and seat stay are bent, so I would alternate between the two to slowly rotate the dropout back down. Might need some tweaking to ensure correct wheel alignment. And a second pair of hands might be useful
