Default Do I need a new door?

I fucked up..... Results





Can this be fixed or will the door need to be replace? I know the hinge is loose and the door sagged a tiny bit but now this is the icing on the cake! I don't plan to do it myself just curious so I can prepare myself for the worst. Thanks

Has the outer skin separated from the door or is it just banged up on the end?

The car door caught the metal frame of the garage door. It rolled when I didn't set the ebrake while loading a tune. Stupid mistake that will probably cost me a new door and hinge since it seems to be harder to open now.

You would just have to fix the edge with bondo, blend the black and clear the whole door. The only problem is I dont think I would want bondo on the edge of the door though. As far as the opening of the door, the hinge is probably bent a little, but you should be able to bend it back. It is hard to explain, but you can use a socket and wedge it in the door hinge and start closing the door, this will bend it back.

sand out the edge and fix with fiberglass, not a big deal to fix and easy to change the hinges too

Thanks guys. If it's not gonna be a big deal then I will just let them fix it vs replacing it. The shop I'm going to use has a 5 year warranty against all body work and paint so either way unless they go under I'm good if it falls apart.
