Is this frame damaged?

Hi all

I bought for next to nothing an old bike because I wanted to use it as a practice piece. I planned to take it to pieces, see how it all worked and clean it up then use the frame to learn how to repaint.

However it is actually quite a nice looking bike and still goes, so I then felt like I should make the effort to clean it up and put it back together.

But I have a doubt about the frame. It is very rusted (which suited me fine for practice material) and in one part appears to bend. The whole front looks slightly odd to me. Is it my eyes, is it supposed to be like that and it is dangerous? If so I will go with plan A.

Thank you for any input!
Gill
