Eddy Merckx need some work

My coworker brought his bike into work today to show me and needs some helping fixing it up, as you can see it's in some tough shape, he ran the thing into a tree and bent the fork quite a bit. He actually tried to straighten it back out but didn't get far. The frame looks only cosmetically damaged and the fork is totalled obviously. He said he bought it back in 1984 or so and it has full dura ace components on it. Anyone have suggestions on what to do to fix this thing up? I'm having a hard time finding replacement parts and am not familiar with a bike as old as this since I was only born in 1982 You can see where the wheel was rubbing against the frame when it crashed. Also, does anyone know if Eddy Merckx would repaint this frame if sent to the factory?
