Yes, I also think that the main problem is that your drag link is too long. Can you measure it? It should be 24”, although I learnt recently that you will need to lengthen it slightly if using a wedge - can let you know later in the week by how much.
You can (and should) buy a brand new brake rod to replace the bent one.
I can see that your car was originally fitted with an hour glass steering column - these mounted to the side of the chassis only, through the two holes you can see. You can lower these without the need for a wedge by altering the rearmost hole, that ensures that the brake pedal pivot retains original position. You can only do this if you still have the original column of course.
