OK, i have a problem. i have two bends in my frame and im not sure what to do. Ill try to post a picture so u have a relative idea of what im talking about

The picture is of the wrong side where the bends are, but its a reference. The first one is the subframe halfway between the grab-bar and the lower weld. Its not a very bad bend. And then right behind the top-left a-arm it is curved in more than the right side. which seems would make the front end a little like this \.
There is paint missing on that section which i heard is a bad sign. I have already put one weld on this frame above the shock mount where it had cracked before.
What should i do? Do i search ebay for a newer 300ex frame? or do i get it fixed somehow? The subframe one seems like it might be easy just to bang it back in with a 2 by 4 and a hammer, but i don't want to make it worse than it already is. THE CHEAPER THE BETTER. I just miss going to the motocross track because i'm worried it will keep getting worse and worse.
Thanks, Matt
