A competent dent puller, paint, 2 wheels, 2 tires, looks like upper balljoint or control arm, possibly a new axle shaft. Depending on any cracking you may need to get the door patched or replaced.

The cost depends on who does the work and where you get the parts.

If it's worth fixing depends on more info than you provided.

Check the inside of the door and also around the catch on the back edge of the door. You're looking for any cracks. If everything looks good then you should be good to go.
