Default Is This Fixable?

Hey guys I got sideswiped last September and my car is still trying to recover. I was wondering if this door is fixable? I would like to get it totally straight. The door has barely any rust so I was hoping to fix it rather than buy a different door. The black spot on the door is a spot where I bondo'd before the accident. Let me know if the pics don't work.

if it were me, i'd get a new door. idc how much you trust your body work, there's always a CHANCE that it will crack, especially on a drivers door, that gets shut/slammed everytime you get in

Alot of work involved to get that door looking straight again. You would spend as much money on labour for a shop to do it as you would for a used good condition door.

Thank you guys. I will look into getting a new door. It sucks that the guy sideswiped me cause the door doesn't have much rust on it. And how hard is it to switch door handles if I get a new door?
