Those front end issues are common to those cars, and could be straight-forward fixes.

What concerns me is that the "beam" under the bumper covers in those cars was high-density plastic, not steel. And you can't see it unless you take the bumper cover off. So what's really rotted?

Also - the steel is pretty thin on those cars. I wouldn't let a dog that big sit on it.
