A few years back, Tom Luckie did some minor straightening on his BJ8,
much like you say your car needs. I did not see it done but they did
it at home with some chains, possibly a stout timber or anchors in the
floor, and a jack or two. The results were good and appeared to be
permanent, or at least holding up for the several years I knew the
car.
A good frame straightening shop should be able to do as well.
