Dent in door now window won't roll down!

I got a pretty deep dent in the drivers side door and now the window won't roll down. You guys think I need a new door, or will pulling it out be possible? Let me know, thanks.

Re: Dent in door now window won't roll down!

I'd try my best to repair both parts. The window track is probably crushed causing the window to stop. That unbolts. If the door still opens and shuts I'd really try to straighten it. IMO There are some threads on here about door swaps not fitting so good. My only concern with the door would be where the mirror is all jacked up. Skin is probably stretched a bit there but anything can be repaired. It usually comes down to how much new panel is and how much time it'd take to replace it verses time to repair original part.
The fender is worth a try at repairing also. Replacement part is fairly cheap but it's not as good as factory IMO. Someone with a stud gun and a little time could keep filler to a minimum. BTW Good looking car. The bruises can be repaired.

Yeah, I love the car. Got it for 2 grand on ebay from a dude in Texas. The only problems were the speedo didnt work and the 2 dents in the picture. Guy put a lot of money into it to restore it and gave me a center console and rear glovebox full of reciepts to prove it. I'll gladly do whatever it takes to get it looking straight. I'm just glad I have this forum for support. Thanks.
