I rebuilt a wrecked RV4 with the same damage except much worse. There are .125" angles behind the firewall running vertically from the top motor mount bolts to a weldment in the lower corner where the lower motor mount bolts are. I will venture a guess you have damage there. I would also think, if you removed the gear leg fairings, you will find the mount and/or gear legs are most likely bent. This is all replaceable with raw angle and some sheet aluminum. Motor mount and gear legs from Van's was $1000 and I can't remember what we paid for a new firewall but Van's will support their product. There is no such thing as prepunched or even preformed parts for the 4. However, the firewall is two pieces, preformed but not drilled. The rest is just angle and sheet along with a healthy dose of labor. I started the project about December working about 35 hours weeks and all damage was repaired by Mid-February with the airplane on its gear with no engine or prop. I am retired so I had the time. Modifications were done after that including a glass panel, backseat controls, new C/S prop and repaired cowl with patched paint. It was ready to fly in June but most of the time spent was in modifications. If this is a nice airplane, fix it! Parts will not cost more than $2500...UNLESS the engine or prop took a hit then that will have to be dealt with. One word of caution here. The sheet metal aft of the gear legs which wraps around the bottom of the fuselage and forms the sides of the "tunnel" where the exhaust stacks exit the cowl is NOT the floor or the bottom skin of the fuselage. That is a fairing to round out the forward fuselage. The load bearing skin is under that fairing which is most likely bent which I repaired with a gusset that now resides under that fairing. Looks good and flys good but is damaged merchandise to some. Good luck and if need be I have many pictures of what all this looks like when apart. I do think you will have to take most of the front end apart to repair this right.
