Car broken in to - how to fix damage?

[EngineerD]

This is what you get if you have to park in Hatfield. Luckily I have an alarm and it went off as soon as they got the door open, so nothing got nicked but I am now left with this to fix up.

How would you guys sort it out - ideally I would like go get a new door as it is getting rusty on the bottom but I don't fancy the hassle of getting the door pins out - but new door is cheaper than a bodyshop sorting it out - any ideas?

Well not really - was hoping for peoples opinions of how hard is it to take a 19 year old door off and how much a body shop would charge me to cut it out and put new metal in.

Yeah the only thing I was worried about was the pins, this car has a tendency to shear bolts and other corrosion related annoyances.

New door & de lock it imo.

the door pins should be ok if you spray them up a few days before. its not worth the hassle of gettin it repaired
