Ok I back up into a wall with the door open like a dumbass but i was wondering if you guys think i can fix this would it be easyer to get a new door???

try to bend it with visegrips.
remove all the rubber window trim etc.. and get a propane torch or heatgun to heat it up...
pull the door handle off and see if you can do anything from the inside.. probably not..

Dont worry about putting dings into it etc, it would need body filler anyways..

otherwise just replace the door.. its not hard, just keep an eye on junkyards , typically some have 1/2 sales, there you go.

one time my mom backed into the door on my 240sx,.. it broke the door handle as well so i had to use the passangers door.. luckily i found the same color door at the yard and swapped it.

 

This dent will need body hammers and some dollies. Expect to use body filler. and then a repaint of the door and QP so it all matches.

I would just look for a new door

 

you might as wel just find a black door and replace it.

 

Cheapest way is to fix it, best way is to replace it. I would get a spot weld cutter and pull the door skin off first. Then work the frame into shape, then the skin. Once you have the frame and skin beat roughly into shape, you'll need some filler like everyone's saying. I'd recommend getting a filler rasp (i think that's what it's called). It's like a cheese grater for bondo. Get a long flexible sanding block too, it'll help alot with the curves. You'll find that you'll probably be sanding and shaping the entire door because the impact didn't just wrinkle that 4" section, it affected the whole thing. Work down from like, 60 grit sandpaper all the way down to about 400. Spray some primer/filler on there to see where the high/low spots are, sand, repeat. Then you'll need to get it painted. That may cost you, depending on how good of a paint job you get.

 

With that kind of damage, there is a lot of metal stretching that has taken place, and you'll find that the door handle area and glass channel are likely distorted as well. Best bet is to find another door in the classifieds section of the forum.

 

I think im gonna replace it. It was one of those days you know just everything was going wrong. I mite mess with it. thanks for the feedback guys

 

its already busted so if you mess with it, you can only learn from it. =D

if it doesnt turn out right, replace it.

 

yeah i work at a bodyshop, and id say that door must be replaced. you could fix it but it would take many hours and would never be perfect. but don't worry you can find a door for that thing dirt cheap and they are very easy to put on. just have a friend there to help and have a good jack to hold the door up. make sure you buy a door that has the same features as yours. if you have power windows make sure you get one with power windows that way all you have to do is paint the door and put your original panel onto it then install the door. and that's it! very easy

EDIT** make sure you take a look at the door/fender gap. you may have bent the hinges. so check them out. if they are bent the new door will never fit right

 

to bad your not local, i would let you come over and rip a door off one of my parts cars and you could have it for free.

 

yeah to bad I hate it here lol but I cant move

 

I have a door, you can come pick it up......ha

 

I've got a tornado silver driver side door from an S4 GXL, and I'm a few hours north of you in Cumming, GA, about an hour north of Atl. $50
