One of the POs of my car put the jack too far forward and bent the frame (should it be called a frame?). The door rubs on the ground effect, and the fender bulges outward, making the door look crooked.

I thought when I first got it that the door was, in fact, crooked, but everything lines up on it except for the front six inches or so. What really gave it away was that the fender was actually bent inward on the bottom beneath the ground effect.

Can anyone shed some light on how to fix this?

 

I had a few more pictures to attach, but couldn't figure out how to get more in my post.

 

The lower ear where the quarter panel bolts to the main body is most likely bent out of shape. Mine was even worse than that.

It's the lower part in this pic, either bend it away to get the panel to fit better or straighten it out and do the same on the quarter. Would require removal of the quarter to get it done properly. While at it, remove the inner fender and inspect the seam on the A pillar. Mine split open and caused a little rot from water getting in.

It's this area, the lowest part w/ the threaded insert. The black goop is seam sealer which I used to seal it all back up after welding in some fresh steel.


This is before, after removing the rot and liberally dousing it in epoxy rust converter (the purple is converted iron oxide)

 

See you added pics, that's the problem right there.

 

I'll be sure to give that a shot.

Your pictures relieve me a bit. Looking at the metalwork inside makes the damage seem much smaller than I was thinking it was gonna be.
