door savable?

Very difficult to tell from here, but more important is the A pillar that holds the wing - that needs to be sorted first.
If the car took a biff on the wheel, there may be wishbone damage too.
I'd remove the wing first, and lets see from there.

I think we’ll need a close up of the wing edge....presumably the door wasn’t damaged by the impact so it’s the wing that’s causing the closing issue.
With the bonnet open, is there any creasing of the inner wing?

Recently I've seen two doors saved by mobile body repairers. They both did jobs I thought would need at least a new door skin. For the harder one, a guy was called from a little way away because the nearer said it was too difficult, it needed special eqpt. They were both really skillful but the second was a magician.
The "easy" one was an X3 door stove in about 3 inches with a kink in the crease line. There was one tiny mark showing, but only if you knew, no paint required.. 6yo car so £150 a bargain.
Send pics from several angles and pop them off.
