Post 97 Accord Door Ripped OFF. Need help Fixing.

I purchased this car for a good price. Along with it came some damage to the passenger door. The girl that had it before was at a bar and someone ripped the door back to get to the passenger.

I am a newbie I was wondering how I would go about fixing this type of damage.

The door hangs down a lil bit, and only clicks on the first click when closing the door. (after lifting up the door a lil).

Do I have to replace the whole door or the broken peice showing in the pictures.

First off, I highly doubt that was done by a person. Looks like she did the gas pump door trick from Tommy Boy haha. Anyways, you're definitely going to need a new door, including both hinges and the fender. You may need to pound it in where the door bolts to the body but I doubt it bc its pretty strong there.

The right front door will fit from any '94 thru '97 4dr Accord Sedan 4cyl or V6.

The front fender may be more problematic however.
If you have a true V6, then the fender is unique and can not be swapped with a I4 version.

If you've actually got a re-badged 4 cyl, then there too all fenders will fit from any '94 thru '97 Accord Sedan AND Coupe.

If the underlying pillar structure was undamaged, then you may be able to work thru the repairs yourself. If there is indeed damage, I'd suggest letting a body shop cobble it back together.
