My dropouts of my forks are a bit bent. Although it hasn't really affected my riding so I don't know if its time to get a knew one. I will post a couple of photos of both dropouts

It's fine
I seek progression, not perfection.

looks like your axle's bent too. I'd say just ride it as it is, but don't grind on it.. Until you have money for new shit anyway.
I'd say get the forks first and just get a new cheap axle or tap the axle back straight for the time being. If you get a new wheel or hub and put them in those forks, the wheel will sit cockeyed and the bent dropout can actually push against the cone nut and put too much force on just 1 area of it which will then cause the cone nut to push in slightly and can rub against the hub shell. I've seen it happen before

your good for a couple of weeks but since there weak they can bend all around mine started with the droupouts but after almost a month of ignoring it the whole fork is almost bent in half so your good for a couple of weeks but be prepared
