i shall agree as well... it will take too much money trying to get a reputable shop that does real metal working to straighten that all out... its not worth their time vs cost neither is it worth it for you. that rocker is damaged too

If you dont like those answers. Get a 3ft yard stick and 3 gallons of bondo. Mix up a gallon at a time and start laying it on. Then using the 3 ft stick start shaping it and pulling it back. Only other way to fix that lol

Haha ,i've seen it before

try all breakers for a second hand door and if your really on a budget try a second hand 1/4 panel ,its a messy job for somebody who isnt neat ,but its the cheapest way

Damn! How did that happens? I was thinking to take the door panel off then hammer it down from the inside to get the panel straight a little bit then apply body filler to it, then sand it down then featheregde it. Primer it then sand it down again. Probably not worth to do, but i did still try. If that fail then don't give up. There always hope to make things right again.

haha, seriously, he said END OF STORY.

x2.

Because trying to fix that sheet metal is dang near impossible. If it could be done it would be by a skilled metal worker and the labor cost would far outweigh that of all new metal. Find a junkyard door and QP, and replace them both + paint and that's the cheapest way out of it.
