I've done a very quick video and uploaded this to Instagram

I'd like to have a go at fixing it. I know its not cost efficient but I'm using it as a learning experience. I think its been sat on a stand near a window.
The only way I can think of to fix that from a functional point of view is to remove the whole bridge, make an oversized new one that extends a long way further back (or find an old Eko bridge if you can - I think I have a 12-string one somewhere, I'll look later), make a similarly oversized bridgeplate, and bolt the two together through the top. Even then I doubt you'll be able to totally flatten the top, so playability may still be compromised.
Or do what I did with my first classical guitar which I ignorantly destroyed by fitting steel strings to... I took the neck and bridge off and used them to make a solidbody 'acoustic' from a plank of Parana pine, since I'd just seen the Gibson Chet Atkins model Mark Knopfler played on the Alchemy album.
