MG Midget and Sprite Technical - Bent Frame?

Rebuilt my rear suspension. car still sits 1 inch low on driver side. Switched my coils, same thing. I now have found damage in front of the lower a-arms. I think my frame is bent. I'm planning a trip to a frame machine. Is there anything I should be letting the tech know? This is a 36 year old car, and I'm sure the tech will not be that old.

There's a normal curvature to the front chassis rails, a slight upwards swing that provides the proper caster to the steering geometry. Is that what you mean?

No, I knew about the up ward angle of the rails but I doubt they are suppose to have big kinks in front the a arm pivot. I was planning on telling the frame tech about the frame angle. I also doubt that the frame box where the sway bar bolts up is suppose to be crushed. So much for buying a car off E-Bay.
