I Just Killed My Door....

[Charles89]

Today, I thought I'd go and give my car a good wash and a polish, since I finished work early. After I washed the car down at the carwash, it started raining on the way home, so I thought I'd put my car in the garage and polish it in there.

After an hour of polishing the back of the bar, I moved onto the side of the car, but since my garage has heaps of stuff in it, there wasn't much room for me to move around along the sides, so I thought I'd move the car half way out of the garage, so I can do the sides.

But instead of just starting my car for 2 seconds, I thought I'd just take off the handbrake and push it out. I opened the door and started pushing it out, and suddenly, the car went over a little bump and started rolling really quickly, and before I had a chance to pull the handbrake, the driver's side just smacked into the side of the garage, and it just jimmed onto the side and stopped the car.....

Now my door doesn't even close properly.....

So I'm just wondering what I should do.... Is it cheaper for me to find a 2nd hand door? or get it repaired (I doubt they can repair it).

Can anyone give me some advice? as to how to repair it, rather than to tell me not to be as stupid as I was lol

And if anyone have a bare R34 driver's side door (without any dents) for sale, please pm me or contact me on 0434 502 855

Thanks

well if you cant close it, you got nothing to lose, grab a hammer and beat away.

then take it into a few panel beaters for free quotes.

I tried beating the crap of out it, but it didn't even move one bit...

The door is strong, but it wasn't strong enough when it hit my garage

I'm wondering if buying a new door will be a better option, as to try and get a panel beater to fix it. Because if it's repaired, you can still notice it afterwards, also the inside of the door is ALL dented.... and either way, I'd probably have to get the whole door (if not more) sprayed....

I would shop around all the Jap import wreckers as your colour is a factory one. Chances are somebody has a halfcut in that colour. Off with the old on with the new, Hopefully the paint matches up

[Charles89]

oh, well all hinges aren't bend at all, the gap of the front of the door still lines up the same

New door. Door skin if you're lucky maybe.
